Also, you mighty have noticed the pretty wings you got from the Advent Calender look slightly different now:

Advent Calendar Prize Update - Remember that whole Real Negg Faerie Wings NC prize on Day 6, where they looked like another item that was already given out during the Negg Festival? Yeah, sorry about that. We'll be replacing the newer, duplicate wings today so they'll no longer be the same. Hooray! The name will change this afternoon, and the art will update later tonight/early tomorrow morning. Sorry again for the duplicate. The Real Negg Faerie pulled one over on us because he's sneaky like that.

They are now called Homemade Lavender Faerie Wings.

It appears the premium holiday offer is back:


You can now sign up for premium for $ 49.95 rather than the usual rate of $ 69.95. In former years people who already had a premium subscription could get a $ 20 refund. It does not seem to be that way anymore even though something like it is mentioned on the news page this does not appear to work. People are being told that cancelling the subscription and resubscribing will get them the holiday price, but that does not seem to work either.

Price discount is on first year of membership only. User will be billed $49,95 for first year of membership then automatically renewed at the regular rate of $69,95 each year unless membership is cancelled.

Existing members can upgrade to get the new rate by visiting Manage Membership.

Are you a premium member and do you enjoy writing guides? Our Premium guide needs a complete makeover. If you'd like to help with this and other guides, look at our Apply for Staff page for our Guide Writer position.

Edit: People who have send in a ticket about the subscription issue are getting the following respond:

Thank you for writing about our 2012 promotional holiday Annual Membership plan! We are looking into this for all users who are currently on the regular annual Membership plan. We hope to find a resolution soon, and will get back to you again for an update shortly. Please note that all current regular annual Memberships cannot be modified / prorated / refunded. Thank you for your patience!

Thanks goes to people on the Charter board for sharing this information.

Edit 2: You can now upgrade your Premium Membership to the 2012 Promotional Holiday Annual Membership Plan.

At last, the long expected Peppermint Goodie Bag is available at the NC Mall. You can pick it up there for free. When you open the goodie bag you will get Peppermint Earmuffs. These are a neocash item, which means you can collect the goodie bag on your side accounts.


Please model this item for us so others can preview it at our Dressing Room.

TNT has activated the most recently released NP Wearables: Beautiful Autumn Leaves Foreground, Usul Day Outfits (blacksmith & doctor), Xweetok Day Outfits (dapper & lace tweed), Bruce Day Outfits (cool & on the go) and Funky Space Wig.

Update: Prizes are being handed out, but they seem to be the prizes from Day 10.

It would be a big plus if you're also able to update our Advent Calendar guide. So then a little knowledge of HTML would be useful.

Update 2: It seems that if you are now puchasing the Kanriks Collectors Cloak and Cape you are being awarded the Hannahs Collector Dress instantly, but if you haven't been awarded yours yet, wait a bit and if still nothing, try sending in a ticket!

Update 3: Ticket response from TNT regarding Hannahs Collector Dress

For those of you who purchased the entire Daring Duos Collection  and have not received your bonus item, don't fret! We are aware of this  issue and we're looking into it. You will be notified via Neomail when  the item has been granted into your inventory. Thank you for your patience!
