For those of you who haven't unlocked the Halloween Site Theme yet, don't forget that you will be able to unlock it by being online on Neopets between 11:59:00pm - 11:59:59pm NST on Halloween (October 31st). If you don't unlock it, the site theme will disappear after halloween!

  

It appears there will be Trick or Treating this year on Neopets:
 

Halloween is just around the corner! We hope you will be staying up until midnight (NST) tonight. When the clock strikes, it will be time to go trick or treating! Make sure you find all the goodie bags and open them for a spooky treat! :)

The next round of battle has begun. Visit the Battleground of the Obelisk to fight for your faction. This skirmish round will last until the end of Sunday.

Take a look at our Skirmish Battles guide for more information.

The next Mysterious Morphing Experiment has been released in the NC Mall. Still looking for this years' Halloween costume? It seems TNT has helped provide right in time with MME19-S1: Menacing Plague Doctor Mask! Wonder what this one will turn in to??


Our MME guide has been updated. Also remember to model for us to keep The Dressing Room up to date! :)

Hullo, this is Taellie, another one of the new Neoboards Leads here at Sunnyneo, I'm looking forward to seeing you all on the boards and helping out!

On the topic of help, we try to keep our wardrobe up to date so you can easily use our Dressing Room for customization plans and viewing your pet in certain clothes. However, there are still many previews and models that we're missing, and we would greatly appreciate if you could help us out! Please join us on our Active Board and see if you'd be able to model any of what we're missing.


Please also check out our other board looking to collect infromation regarding Coltzans Shrine prizes!

The sign-ups for the next skirmish have started. Fighting in this round will be: The Sway, the Thieves Guild and the Awakened. 
Visit the Battleground of the Obelisk to pick a faction.

More information can be found on our Skirmish Battles guide.

We hope you've enjoyed the Random Contest! We've loved seeing all your amazing creations over the years. It's time for this particular contest to come to close, but we hope you've all enjoyed it as much as we have. For the final Random Contest, we're challenging you to... Well, you will have to find out! ;) Good luck to all the entrants, and congratulations to last week's winners.

Halloween is nearly here and there is another new spooky Goodie Bag for FREE in the NC Mall: The Jowlard Goodie Bag.

TNT is sending out neomails to Premium Members due to the down time and bugs.  Not everyone has received this notice, but it should make it to you if you are a Premium Member.

Greetings and salutations!   You're getting this Neomail because you are a Premium Member. Since the site was down for a few days and there have been some bugs (okay, a lot of bugs), we are crediting all Premium Members 31 free days of Membership time. This will be done automatically and should just show up in your account. If you are on recurring billing, then you should see your next billing date pushed back to account for this time. Thanks again for your patience during all of this! - The Neopets Team

The fighting on the Battleground of the Obelisk has started again. You can now support your faction until the end of Sunday.

Hello there, I'm Kailee, one of the Neoboard Leads here at SunnyNeo. You can find me and fellow Neoboard Leads on the Neoboards looking for your help.  We currently have an active Neoboard searching for information regarding the prizes given from the Coltzan's Shrine.

TNT has been quoted with the following statement regarding Coltzan's Shrine from question 3322, archived from Editorial Issue 208:

"Hehe, well the time of day does alter the prizes, but there is no one time when you are totally guaranteed to get good stuff."

To help us out, please visit our active Neoboard and follow the directions from there. Thank you for all your help in our search for Coltzan's Shrine prize information!

We have created a new position here at SunnyNeo.  We are looking to fill our Neoboard Lead position with a few people.  We need people to create boards to gather information on dailies, ask for models, and information on plots or events that may come up.  A Neoboard Lead would be responsible for recording the information a board provides and distribute that information to the respective staff member.  So, if you are a frequent Neoboard person or just would like to help us out, please submit an application.

A retired staff member put in a lot of effort into a Shop and Gallery layout that was never released.  So, if you are a Soup Faerie fan or collector, check out our latest additions to our Shop Layouts and Gallery Layouts.

SunnyNeo is always looking for friendly and new staff who like to help out the rest of Neopia.  We have many positions open so Apply today!

We are still looking for a Games Guide Writer, so if you are great at games, please apply today!
If neither of these work for you, we have plenty of other positions open.

With Halloween slowly approaching there is now a new spooky Goodie Bag for FREE in the NC Mall: The Candy Vampire Goodie Bag.

Another round of Skirmish has ended and the Awakened emerged victorious.
Prizes are now available on the Battleground of the Obelisk.

TNT has given out some spooky prizes to compensate people for all the troubles caused by the transition, downtime and all the following bugs:

Help us welcome the upcoming spooky season! We want to thank everyone for sticking with us through this transition. Click here to collect some fun treats! (Please Note: The Meepit item you get from visiting this page is the correct item. The email blast some users got is featuring the incorrect item. Those wily Meepits!)

Note: in the e-mail you might have gotten about this, the shown NP items is the 'Beware of Meepits Sign' which is not correct, the Meepit is the correct item.

Keep in mind the prizes you get are partly NP, so you cannot collect them on your side accounts. (This is possibly just as safe as well, think of all those extra Meepits being set loose on Neopets otherwise ;) )

The fighting on the Battleground of the Obelisk has started again. You have until the end of Sunday to fight for your faction.

More information can be found on our Skirmish Battles guide.
