Neopian Times #150 Editorial

Do you still give away secret item codes at your conventions? And if so will you be giving them out at the mall tour? - x_Skyyblue_x
We no longer have the rare item cards that we used to give out at Limited Too events, but inside each Neopets TCG booster pack is a rare item code. You can get these at the mall tours by winning various games and activities.


I don't understand why they don't just make more cards. O.o


Where did Meristones go? It isn't in the games section or on the Meridell castle map, but it's not in the Games Graveyard either. What happened to it? - Pixel_fantasy_153

Meristones was too broken to keep up anymore so we have taken it down. We can't add it to the Games Graveyard though as that is for flash games only.


Why only Flash games? Isn't that weird? I'd think more people would remember the non-flash games like Poogle Solitare and Badeek Seek.

Can you make it so we can read the Neopian Times while the site is down for maintence? it'd be soooo helpful. Thanks! - Careese
Hopefully *crosses fingers* the site won't be down for maintenance much more. We have almost finished moving everything around. I will see if this can be made so for the future though.


Excellent idea! Then more people would read the NT. :)

Is the new Neopet going to be giraffe-like or canine-like? - Greenneo566
Nope, and nope! It is very unusual and not at all like and Neopets we currently have.


Hmm, interesting. I wonder if it's going to be the petpet --> pet one, though.

This is the best bit:
I was wondering, did you even release the mediocre avatar because I know about 20 fan sites and none of them know. - qwaz12
It has been released, but nobody has managed to get it yet. You need to win the grand prize of 1,000 NP on the Wheel of Mediocrity in order to get the avatar. We tested it and it does work, it is just extremely rare!
Finally :D

Hi, I searched on the Shop Wizard for a Spicy Red Pepper Omelette, because that's what i got, and I wanted to sell it, but it says that Spicy Red Pepper Omelette doesn't exist! I did the normal search and it still says it doesn't exist! What's up with that? HELP! - Pyro_dragon_
Only items up to a certain rarity are shown on the shop wizard and yellow bar searches. We dont want to tell you everything about every item in the game - where would the fun be in that ?


Ummm while that may be true for the sidebar, it's not for the wiz. *pokes Donna*

I hope it is, a snake pet..you have to use a cobrall or wadjet to get it. I just bought to of each just in case. They said the pet wouldn't be "cutesy" and I don't think snakes are cutesy.

They can only put the flash games in the game graveyard because they can control whether or not you receive points for them. They'd have to go in and change all the coding for the other games to let you still play them and not receive neopoints for it, which is, afterall, the whole purpose of putting it in the graveyard in the first place :)

The draik would pick of 0 stones from hole 0... It usually happens in the middle of the game, and he does that every turn... So once I'm done with the stones on my side, he gets what evers left, and most likly wins..

I also had the draik steal WAY more stones than were allowed from my cups as well as moving no stones at all for a move. IT got annoying to lose all the time cause the game was "cheating", so I quit playing.



What is Badeek seek? I know about Kacheek Seek.

Badeek was the progenitor to the Kacheek, they changed the name of the game once they changed the species.

I don't understand why they don't just make more cards. O.o


My theory is that they may have just given up on the specialness and selectivenes of the Limited Too events and focus more on the mass distrobution of TCG codes (if you look at past new features more stuff in recent memory can be recieved from TCG codes.) I could be wrong, but it seems likely

BTW anyone else having problems submitting a question to the editorial? I want to send in my weekly question on Purple Pets, but I can't choose a subject like the error tells me to. >_>

Can you give us any hints? At least, does it come from a petpet?

Nope -- no hints. :o Take away the shocked part of that face. ;)

What kind of person would I be if I told you all?

Oh, that's right... not a very good one. :D
