The SunnyNeo team would like to remind you that it is not allowed to use (parts) of any of our pre-made graphics or coding in any kind of contests on Neopets or anywhere else.
 
These contests are meant to show off your coding and creative skills, not to make use of ours or others. Just like everyone who takes the effort to come up with their own graphics and coding, our graphics team always puts a lot of time and energy into their work. 
 
We offer our pre-mades available to anyone who wants to use them. We are happy to provide them for you, as well as we love seeing you make use of it. However, seeing someone else take credit from our staff-members hard work is very disheartening for us.
 
Also take note Neopets has a very strict policy on the use of pre-made coding:
 
T6) We will not spotlight a "premade" that is not your original code/graphics/design. You may only enter lookups that you have made yourself.
 
An exception to what has been said above are the Gallery Spotlights. Because they also feature the contents of your gallery, you are allowed to use a pre-made gallery look-up (including any of ours) when entering this one.
 
Our Meepits are watching...

If you had already joined a team for this years cup, you should head back to the Colosseum and re-join, as it looks as though everyone has been removed from their team!

When you sign-up again you will also recieve the loyalty bonus again, since these items are gained through a glitch you are NOT allowed to keep them! As it has been TNT's policy with previous wrongfully awarded items, you should simply discard your extra items!

We would also advice you to check back at the Colosseum before the sign-ups close on June 6th. To make sure you don't miss out on this year's AC season!


Now, if I find the one who stole my sign-up sheets... :K

As everyone begins to strap on their yooyu gear and practice against the Jelly Team, one last team arrives for this years SunnyNeo Staff Team.  The stadium goes quiet and ominous music begins to play in the background.  This team strikes unease amongst the crowd.  This team is so bad to the bone, we aren't quite sure how they managed to get through the gate.  Seaweed Yooyuballs is sure to be a tough competitor this year for the other two teams.  Sosu enters first, returning for his second staff tournament.  This year he supports Roo Island.  He is a strong player and along with Wolf, the two gained All-Star status last year.  Though he throws down the scores for his team, last year his Team Aurora came in last.  He's hoping this year he can rally his teammates for a win!  Wolf returns for his fourth year to the staff tournament wearing Haunted Woods gear along with Lacee.  Wolf was teamed with Jado the last two years and their team came in second both times.  Wolf's first year was on Team Super Heroes who took first place.  Can Wolf and Jado use the new teammates to take a first place?  Lacee returns for her third year on the staff tournament.  She had a first place win on Team Super Heroes, but then went to third on Team Haunted Path.  Can she help this new team make it to first or will she get stuck in third?  Jado is back again for their third year as well sporting Shenkuu colors.  With the only connection to Wolf, Jado will be making new relationships with the new teammates and hopefully they can work well together.  Ale is our one and only beginner this year to the staff tournament and supports Darigan Citadel.  She's a wild card and this team can really use that to their advantage.  No one knows what her strengths and weaknesses are, or how much she'll bring to the scoreboard.  Seaweed Yooyuballs is hoping she will be their secret weapon to snagging first place.

After about a week of pre-season press reports, Altador Cup sign-ups now have started at the Colosseum. Go over there to join your favorite team and start practising before the AC starts on june 1st! Keep in mind you wil be able to join a team until june 6th, after that sign-ups are closed.


Meanwhile, have a Yooyu...

Not sure which team you want to join? Why not take our 'Which Team should you join for the Altador Cup?' quiz to help you decide..

Hey, you two are biased!

When you sign up for a team, you will be rewarded with a sign-up bonus. Our Sign-up bonus page has been updated with the new item for this year. You will get a Mysterious Vibrant Collectable Scarab if this is the 12th time you are playing in the Altador Cup!

Hey, were did you two come from?

Besides this page, we are working on getting our other AC pages updated and ready before the AC starts. We have some nice things coming up for you!


No, you are not to late for the party yet...

Well, it looks like the Yooyu's are all ready for the AC. Why not take our 'What Yooyu are you?' quiz to get into the mood too?

..but please make sure you don't explode, alright?

More teams have arrived at the Colosseum in the last few days: Darigan Citadel, Faerieland, Lost Desert, Meridell, Roo Island, and Shenkuu!


Will one of these six teams take home the Cup??
 
Another team for our  SunnyNeo Staff Team has entered the Colosseum: Yooyu Heroes!  Corine, a very determined player has returned for her sixth Staff Tournament!  She makes it to All-Star every year for Meridell so far and hopes her new teammates will help her get a first place team win.  She was teammates with Jay back in AC IX and they can work well together to bring this team together for the win.  Jocinto has also returned for his fifth Staff Tournament and has yet to choose a new team.  Jocinto likes to choose a new team every year.  Jocinto was on the winning team from last years Staff Tournament, and he's hoping he can bring that confidence to the team.  Mikey is no stranger to winning.  He won two of the three Staff Tournaments he participated in - both being on Team Super Heroes.  Though, last year his team fell to third place out of four.  He's a Lost Desert team player.  Will he rise to the top once again with this new team?  Mikey and Jay were teammates for the last two years.  Mikey, Jay and Robyn were all team members last Staff Tournament.  Can they imrove with two new teammates?  Jay returns for his fourth Staff Tournament and supports Terror Mountain.   With many ties to his teammates this year, he can be the one that unites them.  Robyn returns for her second year on the Staff Tournament.  She hopes she can only improve from here a last year her team landed in third.  With her ties to Mikey and Jay from last AC, she also hopes that her support for Meridell will help her bond with Corine to rack up the scores for both Meridell, and Yooyu Heroes.  Will this team with so many ties to each other bring home this years Staff Tournament?  Will the team with "Heroes" in its title take the cup as the pattern has been the last three Tournaments??  Or will this be the first year a "Heroes" team is taken down?




    
  
For they are the Yooyus, and they are the true Heroes of the game.

Three more teams have arrived at the Colosseum for this years Altador Cup XII: Altador, Haunted Woods, and Moltara.

Some not so flattering words for one of these teams...  Prove 'em wrong, Altador!!

Also, a SunnyNeo Staff Team makes their entrance: Krazy Kaddy Kat Kadtastrophy!  This team holds Vanity who has been in our staff tournament for AC IX and X and is an avid Krawk Island supporter.  She took a break last year, but has returned this year with some great goals to accomplish!  Both times Vanity played, her team landed in third place.  She's hoping with new teammates her luck will change.  Callie is another returning staffer who's participated in our AC IX and XI tournaments.  She achieved All-Star status last year and hopes to do it again.  She's also an avid Krawk Island supporter.  Callie's first year team was in last place, last year's team jumped to first, and she's hoping for her second first place win this year!  Returning for her second year after AC XI, Vicki is supporting Shenkuu once again.  Vicki was with Franc last year and their team fell to last place.  Vicki and Franc hope their previous pairing together will help them have an edge on other teams to work together well.  They hope this team will take them to the top!  Franc and Reagan were beginners last year who both support Maraqua.  They are no longer new to the scene and hope this year they'll accomplish even more.  The two would like to help their team place than either of their last year teams who placed third and fifth.  Who will be their competition?  Will this team be the next winner of the SunnyNeo Staff Tournament??



    
  
Eat your heart out!

The Colosseum fills with Noise,
With cheers from all the girls and boys.
As the Yooyu's fly both left and right-
Darigan Yooyu's give quite the plight.
There is a Showdown between all teams
As participants rush to make their dreams.
If you give your order to the Slinger first,
A Slushie can be had to quench your thirst.
-SunnyNeo News 9th of June 2014 & 9th of May 2015 & 22nd of May 2016

For the last few days, there have been ongoing issues when buying Neocash through Paypal. Due to what most lilely seems to be a glitch on Neopets' end, although you are being charged for buying NC, it is not showing up on your account.

Issues with premium and paypal have been reported as well, with people being charged for their premium multiple times and/or loosing their Premium subscribtion. 

At the moment, we strongly advise you to use another payment source like a credit card or using pre-paid Neocash cards. We can only hope this issue will be fixed soon enough.

Until then, we have Meepits...
 
UPDATE: Neopets posted an update on their Facebook page.

 
A MESSAGE FROM TNT: Our team is aware of recent reports, regarding purchasing errors some players have faced for Premium and NC. Rest assured that we are actively investigating these issues with our Payment Provider. We will update all affected players as new information becomes available and appreciate your patience during this time. Thank you!

With Altador Cup XII approaching, last year's prize shop will be closing tomorrow:

Well Neopians, the whispers are growing and I heard Altador Cup is just around the corner! In preparation of the event, last year’s a Prize Shop has to close. So on May 12th, the Prize Shop will be closing, don't miss out on your last chance to use your points before you lose them! You only have until next Friday....and be prepared...the Cup is coming!

Make sure to spend all your points, both in the regular prize shop and also those from the Staff Tournament today!


You all are going to make me work overtime today, aren't you?


The fighting for the current skirmish round at the Battleground of the Obelisk has begun.
