Happy Kacheek Day!! Kacheek can now be painted as 8-Bit, along with a few new outfits. The Adorable Kacheek and Stormy Cloud Kacheek outfits can be found in Cog's Togs. Our Rainbow Pool database has been updated!

Today marks the 1000th issue of the Neopian Times, and we are celebrating this amazing milestone both on Neopets and in SunnyNeo!

Here at SunnyNeo, we wanted to celebrate by creating a brand new and a fully in-depth guide about the Neopian Times! If you're new, learn about what exactly is the Neopian Times. If you're wanting to participate in this feature, how to submit your writing to be published and what you can receive as rewards! Check out our Neopian Times Guide for more information!

Melanie has been a power house in bringing you fun and inspiring fonts. To continue the celebration, we have two updated fonts for the Neopian Times. We can't wait to see you use them around the NeoBoards!

	Neopian Times Writer - Have any kind of submission published in a 50th issue of the Neopian Times, (ie. 200, 250, 300, ... etc.). As of 2023 (Y25), it has been changed to every 25th issue of the Neopian Times.

New Avatar Alert!

Be sure to visit the Neopian Times to receive a brand new avatar celebrating the new milestone! We are still not sure if this avatar can be earned after the release of the 1000th issue.

	Neopian 1k Edition - View issue #1000 of The NeopianTimes.

In addition to a new avatar, there are also new site themes that have been placed in your collection. Head on over to your Profile Settings to take a look!

The long anticipated NC Pet Styles & Styling Studios has been released! The Styling Studio Supplies are available in the NC Mall, and are on sale with a 50% discount until February 14th. These items are required if you wish to change your pet to have the nostalgic version. You can view more details on the Neopets Support page.

TNT has also updated pet lookups, they are finally animated and showing the HTML5 previews and have a button to display items another pet is wearing. If you're curious about an item, or would like to find items that match your new NC Pet, checkout our Wearables HQ, one of the most advanced Neopets customisation databases available.

Neopets is also under heavy load, and there are some issues throughout the site and the new Styling Studios. Unconverted Pets are still being given out the trophy, so you might not receive it immediately. TNT asks for your patience before submitting a ticket, as that would cause more strain for the support team.

🚨 NC PET STYLE SUPPORT: IMPORTANT INFO 🚨

Hi everyone! If you are experiencing NC Pet Style-related issues, please wait until the site stabilizes to send in a ticket! 😮‍💨😮‍💨

Many issues will likely be solved with just a bit of time hehehe 👹 A little patience when submitting tickets will help us out in the long run out so our incredible CS team can work through tickets more efficiently in the aftermath 🫡

Note that we are also monitoring channels and are aware of certain issues (e.g. like some pets not being awarded trophies) and are in the process of working through those fixes. For Pet Trophies in particular, there is a queue and pets are slowly getting their trophies and any stragglers after the backlog is finished will be awarded trophies all at once. 🏆

*When submitting a ticket, be sure to select the NC Pet Style category

Thank you guys and it’s so exciting to see everyone agree UC Faerie xwees are the only choice all these lovely new pets!

In prepartion for this new release, we've given our Rainbow Pool a makeover! We have also archived the original Unconverted Pet previews, and allow you to have a side-by-side comparison against the new and updated version, if applicable. We'll be sorting through these pets to verify we have the correct version. We'll also be working on updating our modeller and Wearables HQ to support the new NC Styling Studios.

It has come to our attention that some of our Pride Buttons were not working due to the names of them being blocked by filters.  We've updated the image names of the four we think are the problem.  If any others are still having issues please, Neomail Jujipup and we'll fix them right away.  Also, if there are any other Pride graphics you'd like to see in the future, feel free to let us know!

Be-you-tiful!

What an exciting time to be apart of the Neopets community, TNT has revealed lots of upcoming features and improvements, such as performance and security improvements, and the release of the new NC unconverted pets next week on January 23rd, 2024! If you missed this live stream, don't fret, we've updated our coverage guide with summaries and highlights.

TNT also released an announcement, all pet transfers will be temporarily disabled between January 18th to the 23rd, to prepare for the release of the NC Pet Styles! This will impact the Neopian Pound (adopting, abandoning and transferring pets.) There will also be site maintenance between January 22nd 11 PM NST to January 23rd 10 AM PST, for this exciting new launch!

NEOPETS FOREVER 100 YEARS OF NEOPETS!!!
