31st August

  • The Game Room has had a makeover. Now there are even more games to choose from and it looks a whole lot better!
  • Pets couldnt eat the space food. This has now been fixed!
  • Updated the Island Map so it has the new places on it!
  • I wonder what ingredients you need to make this rainbow vanilla negg....???
  • You can now equip your pets with Space Battle and Space Defence items!
  • Work has started on a Island Trading Post where you will be able to safely trade items with other users. We will keep you updated with our progress.
  • The New look Usul is now out. We think it is very cool :)

    Raarrgh!
  • Also check out the Usul's Web Page
  • A Magical Cooking Pot has been found on the Mystery Isle. If you go there you will meet a young Island faerie called Jhuidah. If you place several items in her cooking pot as a gift to Pango Pango you will be rewarded with a fantastic rare item that you can't buy in the main shops.
  • The Stock Market daily limit of shares has gone up to 1000. We will be improving the stock market also.
  • A bug that a lot of people were reporting is that if you type in something like 'cheese' on the shop wizard, then all you get were Cheese and Onion Crisps, and not cheese. Now its been improved so you can do partial or exact matches.
  • The Grundo's Web Page has been finished.
  • Inflation has once again reared its ugly head - and as a result the max bet on JubJub BlackJack has been raised to 150 NP!
30th August
  • Today we are going through all the flash games and making them work in all browsers and adding smaller versions for people with smaller monitors. If you have any more problems

  • Wishing well has been fixed also! Hurrah!
29th August - Big Bug Fix Bonanza!
  • Some new Theme Park Rides have been added. Check em out!
  • Banks now give out interest. Because there are SO many accounts, we can only give interest to people with over 15,000 Neopoints in their account. Sorry about this (there are over 600,000 bank accounts in Neopia! Poor database!).
  • You can now enter your own Theme Park if you want to.
  • NEW IMPROVED SHOP WIZARD! - Yes its not case sensitive any more. You can now put in things like 'faerie' or 'egg' to try and find what you are looking for.
  • Also, the Shop wizard will search more shops than before!
  • Now you cant accidentally pay too much for an item when haggling with the shopkeeper. If you put in a REALLY high value by mistake the shopkeeper wont take your money.

22nd August
  • There are a whole host of new scams that are circulating the site including fake badly spelt competition scams. To see the latest ways people are trying to steal your password click here!

  • UPDATE : Just so you know what we are working on : I (Adam P) am working on the Training School, Chris is working on a safe way to trade items (a trading post), Dallas is working on the Stock Market, and James is working on Guilds and Clubs! We hope to have all this completed soon. The training school will be opening soon!
  • We are uploading a smaller shop map image, just so the site is faster on slower computers.
  • UPDATE - Keep collecting those codestones! We made them much rarer now, but we have a sneaky suspicion that the Island Training School needs them to pay for its pet training courses!
  • Some people have been distributing fake plastic totems. Do not fall for this, only accept the real thing!
