To celebrate the opening of the Wishing Well in the University, join us on the Gold, Halloween and Chocolate servers between 4:00-4:30pm (PST) as we make wishes at the well! The more friends you get to wish with you, the more points you'll earn! To celebrate, Winsela is handing out Pirate Wish Coins, so visit her for a swashbuckling coin to toss into the well.
Also, new new JubJub Power Bounce prizes have been released: Black Halloween Caplet, Haunting Eclipse Moon, Witchs Broom and Yellow Swing Jacket. We have updated our Jubjub Power Bounce guide with flash previews, gif previews will be added as soon as possible.
Also, the next MME has arrived at the NC Mall. MiniMME4-S1: The Trees Have Eyes Foreground is available now in the Specialty section. We've updated our MME guide with the new items.
I always feel like somebody's watching me.

It wasn't me! It's the meepits, you'd never suspect a meepit... or would you? o.0
As a customisation lover, certainly you remember where this came from =)
The first thing I have offer are two new Art Adoptables!
You can also look at our Faerie Graphics Page for more faerie related graphics.
Dear TNT, I feel like the Wishing Well avatar has been forgotten. :( Does anybody actually have it yet, and if not, can you give us another hint on how to get it? Please, pretty please! *tosses cupcakes and butterscotch candies at you* Oh, and please take my name out. Thanks! ~username removed If you guys tossed coins into the well nearly as often as you asked for hints, you'd probably have it by now! ;D |
As you know, our Wishing Well Project is trying to figure out the exact requirements to obtain the avatar.
We are convinced that you will get the avatar by donating a certain amount of neopoints into the wishing well. Or as TNT puts is 'toss coins into the well'.
Please keep logging your donations to the well into our project. By doing so we can hopefully find out the right amount of neopoints soon. The hints of TNT into the editorial are so far only supporting our theory.
See, its literally on the image: toss coins into the well
and you thought I was just a gift box...
Transparent Strawberry
Also, newly released clothes:
I'll sort that out for you! Little off the sides... Gorgeous! *snip*
And finally the marquee:
Guess what I had for dinner!
Do I look like a dress to you!?
The Faeries' Ruin - Chapter 2
Are you interested in being the beloved hero who cracks the plot and rescues the faeries in distress? Need a little guidance on your quest, but don't know where to look? Do not fear, SunnyNeo has the guide for you! Why not visit our 'Faeries' Ruin Plot Guide' for more information and tips, including; Walkthroughs, Background Information on characters and much more!
Faerie Themed Graphics
With the Faeries' Ruin plot among us and the lack of faeries floating around in Neopia, its only right to enhance the view of them on SunnyNeo isn't it? Well we think so; hence why we have set up a separate page with all sorts of Faerie Themed Graphics for you to grab on to! Go on, go have a peek. We know you want to!
Wishing Well Project
In other news, (not so faerie-related this time) don't forget, we still have a mystery to solve; how to get the Wishing Well avatar! Register your wishes in our Wishing Well Project to help find out the exact requirements to obtain the avatar.

Our Plot Guide is now updated with the new steps.
just like me but perhaps a little less invisible?
(it's really is an invisible Paintbrush)
Thanks to maroo1324 for this info
Update: The Transparant Paintbrush has been removed *insert eerie music*
spoooky ain't I?
If you own one of the new prizes and want to model them for us or know which ones are the Gold and/or Bonus items , just neomail me or look out for one of the modeling boards I make.
Just check here for the complete list of needed models.
Edit: We've updated our Jubjub Power Bounce guide with the currently available prizes and previews.
We've also added not one or two, but 15 new Faerie cursors! You can find these and more on our Cursors page.
We're working on some cool plot-themed graphics, so keep your eyes open. We'll announce them here in the news and in our Faerie's Ruin Plot Coverage.
Update: The Faerie's Ruin Plot Guide is ready to go! No known plot actions at this time.
In other news, the Six Flags Team Purple prizes are being released. Take a peek at our Six Flags Guide to see what the winning team got.
It seems a glimmer of light may have answered our hopes, with the news that Faerie Pets have not been affected by the stone, thus bringing the arrival of the new Faerie Lutari.
Cheer up, its not all bad news!
Also don't forget the Petpets during the festival... The Hegelob and Juma can now be painted Faerie at the Petpet Puddle.
Hegelob Juma
Let's hope the Faeries of Neopia are soon safe and free once again. Stick around, SunnyNeo will surely be the first the CRACK the problem! :)
In other news, the Fall Shop at the NC Mall is now open. Bring in the season with all new items like the Fall Scarecrow Mystery Capsule, Colour Changing Leaf Wings and Quizzical Whoot on a Branch.
All the colours have gone :(
Edit: It seems many places on the Faerieland map are currently not available, they give the following message:
OH NO! This area is not available, because all the Faeries of Neopia have been turned to stone! |
It appears Faerieland isn't the only place to have this problem, faeries in other lands have been turned into stone as well.
A response from TNT on their Facebook page about the Stone Faeries:
We cannot confirm or deny rumors that Neopian faeries have turned to stone. Clearly this is some sort of faerie opponent propaganda. *scoff* |
I hope this isn't the problem...
Come celebrate and have some cake!
Sure, go ahead and play with the razor-sharp talons. . .
Chipper! What did you do now? *sighs*
In the meantime, vote on the next item to become wearable at the Wearables poll.
And the yearly Faerie Festival returned. You can already claim your daily prize, so why not go over there and say hi?
Would there be any chance that the Fountain Faerie would grant me a Quest?
Everyone affected by the glitch should be unfrozen now, so please check your accounts! |
Only people who are experiencing a 'banned email address' problem may still be affected:
Okay, if you see "banned email address", this is a separate issue. They know what the problem is and are looking at it now. I don't have an ETA or any other information for you, but I wanted to update you anyway just to let you know they're aware of it at least! I'll try to keep tabs on the issue and post if I get any more info. |
If I only had a brain...
Welcome back, everyone! As you may have noticed, the site was down for a bit over the past few hours for updates. Good news: the site is back up. Hooray! Since we've come back online_ some of you might have been notified your account is frozen when you attempted to log in. If this shouldn't apply to you, sorry! We're looking into the issue right now and will clear it up as soon as possible. In the meantime, you don't need to submit a ticket to support about this. We'll keep you posted either here or in news as we work things out. Thanks for your patience! |
In other news, if you can actually log in to your account, Lawyerbot will ask you to agree with an updated version of Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy. A few interesting things can be found in there, such as:
Read the new rules carefully if you want to stay safe. |
There's also a new avatar that has been released:
You receive this avatar by viewing your The Battledome Stamps Page AFTER you have collected all of the Battledome stamps. Tip: Visit SunnyNeo's Stamp Album List to learn which stamps you will need to complete this album page. |

And the New Game Challenge has updated to Hannah and the Kreludor Caves. We've updated our New Game Challenge Guide to show the item prizes available from the new game.
It's nice how the keys are colour-coded.
Chipper! What have you done?
Ooh, more caves to explore!
Also, don't forget that today is the last day to spend your Six Flags Souvenir Shop Points.
Hi, Thank you for writing in about the Mystery Capsule Adventure frames! Every user who qualified for this received the chance to win anywhere from 2 to 5 land-themed frames. It works pretty much how the bonus item from a Mystery Capsule works (wherein you have the chance to win the bonus). The number of frames given to a user is random, and is not based off your numbers of capsules opened, or the like. We did not announce how this bonus was going to work, because we want to keep our bonuses a surprise! |
Thanks to missmollymayhem and prada_prince for sending us this info.
Edit: Opening more Mystery Caps after receiving Frames won't give you more Frames though. It's a set number once you got the 5th Limited Edition.
Please check our Mystery Capsule Adventure Guide for all the prizes and previews.
In shocking news - It looks like the Rainbow Pool isn't so colourful anymore with the additions of two new chocolate coloured pets!
Tonu Draik
And if you have access to a certain lab ray for Petpets, you may find your Acko or Magmut turning all chocolatey (that word still falls under the word 'chocolate' :P):
So what are you waiting for? Get moving and discover more things CHOCOLATE today! But be careful not to eat too much, wouldn't want your little tummy getting all poorly!
In other news, TNT have posted the following message about upcoming Site Updates.
Site Update - Over the next few days, the Code Myncis will be migrating all account information, like usernames and such, over to a fancy new system they built. They're really jazzed about it, but that unfortunately means some slowness and downtime for the site overall, so we wanted to give you a heads up and let you know what to expect once they're done:
We hope to keep the downtime as short as possible, but please be patient with us during the maintenance! |
We will keep you updated to any changes or features discovered!
If you had enough NeoCash to spend and got all the Limited Editions from all 5 Mystery Capsules, then you're awarded different frames:
Brightvale Lost Desert Maraqua Terror Mountain Virtupets
For more info, please check our Mystery Capsule Adventure Guide.
We've got a preview of how the game looks and another preview of the pop-up window.
Most likely, one of the unreleased Jubjub Power Bounce prizes, Full Moon, will be one of the Halloween themed prizes the game will give out.
Jubjub Powe Bounce, Halloween style! I'm ready for it!
SunnyNeo's guess who're behind this downtime again...
Newly released Techo clothing has been released as well:
Bonfire Night Background Faerieland Library Background The Black Pawkeet Background Petpet Park Celebration Background Laboratory Ray Background Crokabek Nest Background |
Hidden Tower Background Shenkuu River Background Money Tree Background Space Battle Background Walk the Plank Background Trading Post Background |
NOW HALF PRICE!
These Backgrounds are for sale at the NC Mall until September 26th just before midnight.
On his way to finding a legend. . .
Due to an infestation of Meepits, we're having a slight problem at one of our datacenters, so the site is down. Fortunately, a cleanup squad made of battle-toughened Kougras is on its way to deal with the problem. We'll let you know when everything's back to normal! |
So please be patient. :)
Is someone having a bad day?
Woodland Snow
Also, newly released clothes:
Hi, Thank you for writing. The JubJub Power Bounce Tokens can be used indefinitely! But the game itself will be having a makeover, with cool new prizes! So if you are still trying to win some of the prizes from the current JubJub Power Bounce game, you still have time! When the game's new look is released, you will still be able to use your JJPB tokens - you just won't be able to get the items that you are seeing from the game right now. Have fun! :) Regards, Nathan |
Indefinitely :o Lets hope there won't be inflation!
The Bonus item is MME7-B: Queen of the Deep Gown
wearing me doesn't mean you can swim
Who'd ever think these items would have come from two Mallard floaties?
Never judge an MME by its first stage...
No more playing Sherlock Holmes after this :(
Well done! You've managed to cast a vote during each day of this theme. You've earned 500 Neopoints and NeoCola Plushie has been added to your Inventory!

Today is the last day to buy the Summer items, Isca KQ Token and Summer Beach Ball Mystery Capsule at the NC Mall. So redeem those NeoCash Cards and run to the mall...
Just don't try to stuff the ballot box with frosting.
The item it gives out is the Virtupets Information Screen:
This is the third Capsule from the Great Mystery Capsule Adventure Continues. We've updated our guide with all info about this new capsule.
Thanks goes to hotchic943 who helped us preview.
Attention! Incoming message for all docks!
This MME isn't done morphing yet, so who know what more surprises it'll give out!
Anyone fancy a game of hide and seek?
