March 2012 News Archive

It seems there is a new feature at the NC Mall called Edolie's Phantastic Finds. You can check out our Edolie's Phantastic Finds Guide for more information about this NC Mall Spring Event.


It looks like Edolie's Phantastic Finds will be a spring event for this year. You can buy Phantastic Finds Spring Magnifying Glass packs in the NC Mall for 1, 8 or 16 packs for 150, 800 or 1400 NC. 

Now that all the bugs are gone, Roo Island has gotten an amazing makeover. Great job TNT!

Was it because of the new and improved Games Room? Or simply because he was ready for spring? In any way, Blumeroll has returned for a while for you to enjoy with all new prizes to collect. So head on over to the NC Mall and buy some Blumaroll Dice! Be sure to check out our Blumaroll Guide for a list of current and past items.

There is currently a glitch with the final Daily Dare prizes where they are not appearing in your inventory when you try to collect.  Trophies are also not appearing yet.  We'll let you know when this is fixed.

EDIT: You can now collect your Daily Dare prizes.

Currently, if you go to Neopia central, you'll find it's maps being glitched. All shops and places to go will have their names showing up in multiple languages. We don't know what is the reason for this glitch, nor how long it will last.

Several people informed us about this issue. Thanks go to all of you!

There are some more smileys to use on the Neoboards for your amusement:

	*indubitably*
	*monocle*
	*tophat*

As for more news, it seems King Roo has been able to save the Games Room, and Roo Island! The bugs are going away:

Blumaroo naturalists report the strange bug population on Roo Island has fallen to 51,213. Subjects are advised to remain calm and consume large quantities of Sugared Gelert Gummies. Sugared Gelert Gummies: the key to a better tomorrow! This report was sponsored by the Sugared Gelert Gummy Industry Council.

Thanks goes to hydro_thunder001 and steffiliew for telling us so :)

Yes you read that right, there is another new NC event starting today: Lulu's Bug Hunt.  With The Case of the Missing King event ending today, it seems Lulu's next adventure will be catching all those bugs!

Lulu’s Bug Hunt is an NC Mall event where you collect daily prizes for helping Lulu catch the bugs invading Roo Island. Purchase one Bug Hunt Net pack to participate in all 5 days! Once you activate your Bug Hunt Net, come back daily to receive your prizes!

Lulu’s Bug Hunt will run from March 22 through March 26. You can join the event anytime within that period by purchasing Lulu’s Bug Hunt Net in the NC Mall.

Join the Bug Hunt by buying Lulus Bug Hunt Net 5-pack currently available in the NC Mall.  For more information, check out the official FAQ.

Note:  Currently the first prize of the Bug Hunt is glitched and not appearing in your inventory when you try to collect the prize.

Roo Island is nowhere to be seen anymore, it's now completely covered in bugs! 6,714,556 of them, to be exact... Where does this end?

Anyone interested in the Battledome will be happy to hear that a total of seven brand new smilies were released to use on the Neoboards!

	*light*
	*dark*
	*earth*
	*air*
	*water*
	*fire*
	*physical*

Our Smilies Guide will be updated shortly.

Are you excited about our new mall banners? Feel free to fill in our Graphic Request Form if there's a graphic you would like us to make!

Todays Daily Dare game, Ghost Bopper seems really glitched. A lot of people cannot get the game to start. It will say press space to start and nothing will happen. This glitch is known to affect firefox, chrome, safari and opera. However, most people can get the game to start in internet explorer. So try that if you're wanting to complete the challenge.


Shortly after this news post, TNT made a board about the glitch:

Greetings Players, We are aware of the issues with Ghost Bopper and the num lock and we are looking into it and working to fix it ASAP. There are a few things that have worked for some of the players that are experiencing this problem that you might try until this is fixed: 1) Challenge AAA or Abigail before playing 2) Switch over to the letter setup 3) Use IE Your Meepit Balancing Fix-it Team

Today it appears that there are no bugs in the Games Room. We don't know if this is a 'bug' or if this means a new step in the site event is upon us. We will probably find out on Monday when TNT is back in the office.



Sunday edit: the bugs are back... Perhaps it was a bug after all!

Sunday edit 2: Roo Island is even more covered in bugs! Run and hide!

The new Pirate Wonderclaw machine we posted about earlier on, is now out. So get your widgets ready and head on over to Wonderclaw to play. Be sure to check out our Wonderclaw guide for a list of prizes this machine gives put and and previews of them.

It looks like there will be a new site event related to the infestation of bugs on Roo Island... Keep checking back for updates!

According to the image below, the next Wonderclaw machine will have a Pirate theme. We will be updating our guide with the new prizes as soon as they are released. The Gothic machine will be retiring on March 16th.

The Roo Island map has been updated again! Apparently the bugs are taking over...

Blumaroo naturalists report the strange bug population on Roo Island has risen to 39,422. Subjects are advised to remain calm and consume large quantities of Gummy Fruit Snacks. Gummy Fruit Snacks: the key to a better tomorrow! This report was sponsored by the Gummy Fruit Snack Industry Council.

We've made four new Faerie Doll Adoptables! Say 'Hello!' to Kari, Delina, the Darkest Faerie and the Library Faerie!

A new Daily Dare Capsule can be expected to show up in the NC Mall soon:

Update- The cap has now been released! You can see the re releases and the limited edition items from the new cap in our guide!

While bugs have been plaguing the Games Room for days now (and giving out items when you click on them), it seems the games room is not the only place they are causing problems.

If you pay a visit to Roo Island, you'll find that the island has been covered with large purple spots, which look like bugs crawling all over the place. What's going on here?






The following message can be found on the Roo Island map:

Blumaroo naturalists report the strange bug population on Roo Island has risen to 4,673. Subjects are advised to remain calm and consume large quantities of Gummy Slorgs. Gummy Slorgs: the key to a better tomorrow! This report was sponsored by the Gummy Slorg Industry Council.

What's going on with King Roo? Why is he missing? Where did he go? And will Lulu be able to find him, so the games room can be fixed from all these weird bugs? 

These are the questions that rise with the new NC game challenge, The Case of the Missing King. Here you follow Lulu on her search for King Roo. And, to help you with this, so you can help Lulu, we've come up with a Case of the Missing King guide about this event. Here you can see how to get started, what the current step is and what prizes you can get from participating!

We heard from AAA himself that Daily Dare is here! Not only that, but he somehow figured out how to reactivate the new Games Room. YAY! AAA is so clever! Yes! The New Games Room is BACK, and it's all thanks to yours truly. That'll teach King Roo not to get between a Games Master and his games! Thanks, AAA! Also, don't forget day one is officially on the 8th, so if you're seeing this on the 7th, you've got extra time to complete the first challenge

Its Back....

Daily Dare has returned as always SunnyNeo has all the information your going to need. Check out our Daily Dare Guide for all the news on the challenges and current prizes.  Also dont forget our game guides for handy tips to get you to the needed scores.

Can you beat AAA & Abigail? Happy Gaming!!!

SunnyNeo is currently looking for new staff, more precisely new artists. We're looking for versatile, talented artists who enjoy drawing Neopets related art. If you decide to apply, make sure that you've got both time, dedication and motivation for the job. We are looking for permanent staff, not someone who decides to leave after a month.

If you're interested in an artist position, don't hesitate to check out the Apply for Staff page. Remember that you need to make a portfolio before you send in your application. There's also other open jobs for those with other interests and talents. ;)

If you've got any questions about the position, feel free to neomail me (tuvane).

This capsule is also giving out  re-releases as well. They are listed on our Green Clover Mystery Capsule page. Got a release that is not listed there? Please let us know!

MiniMME9 morhped today. It's stages are MiniMME9-S2: Water Drugal Handheld Plushie, MiniMME9-S2: Rainy Spring Porch Background, MiniMME9-S2: Spring Rain Jacket. The bonus item is called MiniMME9-B: Splashing Puddles.

These stages (and if you're lucky the bonus) will be showing up in your inventory in the next few hours (if they haven't yet). 



The update on our MME guide will be a bit delayed, but we will be updating it as soon as we can!

Don't forget you can visit our Shop and Gallery pages for other graphics, and should you not find what you are looking for, you can always fill in Graphic Request Form.

Due to a lack of interest there was no editorial. To make this up TNT asked Dr. Sloth some question instead. Below are a few questions they asked, for the full editorial just vistit their Facebook page.

Dear Dr. Sloth - I noticed that none of your games are in the "Popular" category. Do you think that the most important games are being highlighted the best they can in the new Games Room? Thanks. ~Viola It's obvious that you are all simply incompetent. I assure you, once my plan succeeds, the only category in the games room will be "Lord Sloth's Favourite Games". Dr. Sloth, Would it be scamming if I put up a board asking people for passwords and used them to get into their accounts and take their Neopoints? I won't take any items, just Neopoints. Thanks! ~Comastar What do I look like, an advice columnist? In any case, when in doubt, turn it into sludge. That's my answer to everything. Dearest Dr. Sloth, Why do the purple Meepits sleep angrily? There isn't enough cheese in the core to calculate invertebrates. ~Mr. Insane This is your master programmer? This explains so much. Dear Dr. Sloth, I do not mean to pry, but you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand? ~DJ Skellington I have no idea what you're talking about. Next lunatic!

This months NC Collectible item is now available, Delinas Collectors Wig, which can  be bought at the NC Mall. This item is part of the Questing Faeries' Finest series and will only be available in the NC Mall during the month of March.

 

2 new smilies have been made avaliable for you use on the neoboards.

*nabile*

*brynn*

Our Smilies Guide will be updated shortly.

After all that trouble the great Leap Year suprise has been revealed as a new Games Room!



When you visit, you will notice that most of the games are the same changes largely only applying to layout and a couple of added features.

Because of these changes, some game related features of Sunnyneo may not be functioning properly. You probably won't even notice but if you do, rest assured that we are on the job and all features should be working with the new system very shortly.



Also, don't forget to take advantage of sending five scores a day to earn some extra neopoints until the 4th. Though even the ratio's have seen a slight make-over our Top Game Ratio's list should still be working fine, so be sure to use it to maximise those neopoints.
