April Fool’s Day on Neopets

It’s not April, but I thought I would post this anyway 🙂

Every year TNT does some kind of a random event (that’s supposed to be a joke) on all Neopet owners. Here’s a list of other tricks they’ve done on us!

2009 – NEOPLANTS

When a member logged into their account, their site theme automatically changed to the ‘Neopets Green’ theme. When clicking on a link in the pop-up took you to a page outlining possible features users could ‘look forward to’. Some Neopet owners found that the site title got changed to www.neoplants.com. Neopia was also changed to Plantopia, with the world map screen bearing a banner to advertise the upcoming switch.

2008 – NEOBUDDIES

When you logged onto Neopets you were presented with a pop-up of one of a number of Neopian characters informing you that you were “chosen” to sign up and test out the new “NeoBuddy Beta System”. You may have been visited by Captain Scarblade, Hannah, Isca, Master Vex, Prince Jazan, Princess Amira, Roxton A. Colchester III, Sophie or Dr. Sloth. The pop-up would not go away until the questionnaire was answered.

2007 – Closing the Battledome

TNT decided to “close the Battledome” because they had “circumstances beyond their control”. Plus, they claimed they removed the Battledome section off of the boards, all shops that sold Battledome equipment, and when you clicked on the Hidden Tower, it took you somewhere else.

2006 – Those Nasty NeoCharges

TNT decided to “charge” everyone Neopoints for visiting any page within the site with different of rules on the matter.

2005 – New Pets

TNT thought it was a great idea to create 50 new pets and tell everyone they were going to be released but that didn’t happen. A few of them stayed but were renamed.

2004 – A Quiguki Card Game

TNT said we had a new world called Quigara, Quiguki Cards, buddy icons, and other events related to this. They also said they released an avatar which can really be obtained every April Fools Day.

2003 – Neopetz

The entire site was Neopetz instead of Neopets. Neopoints weren’t needed and everything was free 🙂

2002 – Stolen Items

Everyone’s SDB and inventory was completely emptied out. They claim it only happened to a few. All times were given back by the end of the day.

2001 – Neopets Makeover

This gave Neopets new names and new identities.

    2011 – disease that is infecting every neopet, with no cure

  2. You should add a screenshot of the makeover in ’01. It was hilarious!
