2nd Anniversary Update: Two Years Older, (Slightly) Wiser, and Still Listening

Aug 5, 2025

Foreword:

Hey Neopians, 

Wow, time really flies! I still remember the excitement of announcing the new era of Neopets back in July 2023. It’s been one of the most thrilling journeys of my life—full of love, passion, joy, and yes, a lot of challenges along the way.

A huge thank you to every single member of the Neopets team and to all of you in the community for your incredible support. We’ve got a lot of work ahead of us, so let’s dive in and make it happen!

Introduction:

Another Year, Another Level Up (With a Few Resets Along the Way)
It’s wild to think how much can change in just two years. We’ve had our share of mutant JubJub moments, but here we are—older, (slightly) wiser, and still obsessed with omelettes.

We’re not going to sugarcoat it: the last two years have been wild. From the days of previous management and playing whack-a-mole with bugs, to running on a shoestring (and sometimes just on hope), The Neopets Team has hustled, patched, and meme’d our way through storms. Our beloved world was held together by duct tape, nostalgia, and the sheer willpower of everyone who believed Neopia deserved more.

Then came the plot twist: a fresh leadership team, we hired developers, artists, and even a grown-up or two. For the first time in ages, we weren’t just patching leaks; we were dreaming big, and doing it to revive Neopets.


Let’s Celebrate Some Wins — What Actually Got Done

Year Review_What Actually Got Done.jpg

Wins We’re Proud Of

Remember when “bringing back random events” or “fixing that one Grundo Warehouse bug” felt like chasing a Meepit through a maze of frantic Slack messages? Same here. Thanks to a rejuvenated team and your relentless feedback, we’ve transformed a mountain of wish lists and bug reports into small wins for Neopia.

Neopets.com Major Wins: Release Notes & Quality-of-Life Improvements

Two Years of Progress—Thanks to You

Every fix, feature, product, plushie, tea collab, and comic con booth started with your feedback, bug reports, and the world’s best memes. We’re not done yet—far from it—but these two years have been a true level-up for Neopia, and none of it would have happened without you.

Here’s to another year of Neopian wins—on the site, in your home, and all across the globe.


The Misses, the Messes, and the “What Happened?” Files

Year Review_The Miss & Mess.jpg

Owning Our Oopsies

We wish every update was a flawless Faerie quest, but sometimes things go a little… Dr. Sloth. Here are a few moments where the wheels wobbled—and, in true TNT fashion, we learned a lot along the way.

Missed Goals, Delayed Features, and “That One Bug”

  • The Quest Log Skip Button Incident
    Remember when we quietly removed the Quest Log skip button? Oops. The outcry was real, and we heard you loud and clear. The fix? We brought back a better system with the weekly reward re-roll, but yep, that initial move was a facepalm moment.
    Turns out, “just take it away” is not a solution—who knew?
  • Neoboards and LGBTQIA+ Support
    We set out to make the Neoboards a more inclusive space, but progress has been slower than a Slorg on a rainy day. The conversations are happening, but we know it’s not enough yet.
  • Trudy’s Surprise Gift Boxes Update
    The plan: bring new life to Trudy’s Surprise with fresh gift boxes and rewards. The reality: some updates ended up delayed, and a few bugs stuck around longer than they should have.
  • Other Delayed Features
    Some classic features and mini-events we teased are still stuck in the “coming soon” zone. (Looking at you, extra customisation options and certain site events.)

But Seriously, Here’s Why

We know waiting is hard. Here’s what happened behind the scenes:

  • Resource Challenges: The team grew, but not overnight. Shifting priorities and onboarding new folks meant some projects had to wait their turn.
  • Learning Curves: Classic Neopets code is… let’s just say, “vintage.” Sometimes even the simplest fix means wrangling decades-old spaghetti, which led to unexpected delays.
  • Community Feedback: We underestimated just how much you care (in a good way!). Your feedback made us rethink and rework some decisions, which took extra time but made for better outcomes.
  • Technical and Policy Hurdles: Making Neopia more inclusive is a priority, but it involves complex backend work and careful moderation—so progress was steady, but not as fast as anyone wants.

Keeping Promises

We get it—delays and missteps are frustrating. But every bump in the road is a lesson we’re using to get better. We want you to know:
We hear you, we’re owning our oopsies, and we’re doubling down on the promises we made. Your trust (and your patience) means everything, and we’re committed to earning it every day.

Stay tuned for even more improvements and updates. For more details on all the latest updates and release notes, please stay tuned here.


The Plot Thickens — Update on the The Void Within

The Void Returns…

Neopia faced its biggest crisis with The Void Within, as players teamed up to solve mysteries and battle new threats. After pausing for community feedback, the adventure continues—The Void Within: Lost in the Dark officially launched on August 4, 2025! Dive into a refreshed experience with more accessible activities, deeper story chapters, and challenges that test both your wits and teamwork.

Dust off your battledome gear, rally your Neofriends, and plunge into the unknown—Neopia’s fate is in your hands, and the next chapter has begun. Are you ready to face the void?

TNT Aesop’s Fun Fact:

Our writers powered through a record number of coffee mugs and brainstorming snacks to bring this story to life. Trust us: you weren’t ready (but we hope you love it!).

Don’t miss out on Neopia’s biggest adventure yet!

Community Engagement — Celebrating Co-Creation

The Neopets Ambassador Program

Community Ambassadors.jpg

Launched in the summer of 2023, the Neopets Community Ambassador Program was created to bridge the gap between the Neopets Team and the player base by establishing direct, consistent communication with some of our most engaged and knowledgeable players (a.k.a. the folks who know the difference between a Meepit and a Feepit at a glance).

Since its inception, 22 Ambassadors have participated across two cohorts (with over 500+ applicants each!), growing from an initial group of 10 to a current team of 12—including 4 returning community legends. Based on both player feedback and firsthand experience, we expanded and refined focus areas in the second cohort to better align with what Neopians actually need. That means new categories like Quality of Life, Gameplay, Merch, and even an Ambassador Liaison role for extra support and communication.

Over the past two years, our Ambassadors have been absolutely essential in reporting bugs, prioritizing player suggestions, and helping us level up Neopia. With their help, we’ve hit some major technical milestones:

  • Significant quality of life changes and improved response times for mobile games
  • HTML5 conversion for all unconverted paint brush clothing
  • Optimizing the rest of the closet conversion (so your pets can strut their stuff, glitch-free)

The feedback Ambassadors gather from their respective communities has led directly to gameplay updates, Battledome fixes (especially during plot events), avatar releases, prize pool refreshes, and even the return of beloved Neopian icons like Punchbag Bob. (No, really—he says thanks for the rescue.)

While we originally planned to rotate ambassadors every six months, we quickly realized that longer-term collaboration leads to deeper progress (and less time spent on introductions, more time spent on actual fixes). Tackling Neopets’ legendary tech debt is never easy—for every bug we squash, ten more pop up—but our Ambassadors’ dedication and energy have never wavered.

They’ve also been key players in connecting with fans beyond the screen: supporting programs like Fan Art features, helping shape IRL events, and representing Neopets at conventions. The past two years have brought both milestones and growing pains, but one thing is clear: the Ambassador Program is now a core part of how we listen, evolve, and move forward, together with our community.


Birthday Bash Recap

25thBirthday_Worldmap_Highres.jpg

The Neopets 25th Birthday Bash was a milestone unlike any other—filled with real-world and virtual celebrations across 40 cities and 13 countries. Every gathering, from board game cafés to terrace parties to an epic 12-hour Twitch stream, radiated the unique joy and warmth of our global Neopian family.

We’re endlessly grateful to every host, co-host, and volunteer who poured their heart and energy into making these celebrations special. Your creativity and leadership brought the community together in ways we could only dream of. You truly made Neopia shine.

Radical Transparency—And Our Commitment to You

But we know there were bumps along the way. As a team, this was our first time orchestrating a community event of this global scale, and we fell short in areas that matter—especially around communication and timely follow-up for host and co-host recognition and promised gifts to them.

We want to be clear to all who contributed to the birthday bash: recognising their hard work and ensuring they receive the gifts they were promised is our top priority.

We’ve learned from these challenges, and we have since diligently reached out to every host and co-host to make sure you get both the recognition and the rewards you deserve. We’re making improvements behind the scenes, streamlining our communication, tracking, and support, so your contributions never go unnoticed again.

Here’s to more milestones, more memories, and a future where your efforts are always recognised—online, offline, and everywhere Neopians gather.


Fandom in Action & More Events

The magic of Neopia doesn’t just come from the site—it comes from you. Over the past year, we’ve seen the Neopets community’s ideas, opinions, and passion actively shaping everything we do, from new features and merch to the very culture of Neopia itself. Our roadmap isn’t set in stone; it’s written together, with every poll, post, and conversation leaving an impact.

Community Surveys & Feedback

We’ve made it a priority to listen—really listen—through regular Neopets Community Surveys covering everything from in-game features to merchandise and brand partnerships. Your survey responses directly influence what gets built, what gets fixed, and what comes next. Whether you’re voting on new paint brush colors, suggesting merch ideas, or sharing what matters most in your Neopian routine, your voice makes a difference.

Social Media AMAs, Quick Polls & Real-Time Input

Our AMAs and quick polls across social media (from Instagram stories to Twitter/X threads) have become a fast, fun way to gather your thoughts. Community questions and suggestions from these sessions have inspired everything from site QOL improvements to new event concepts and creative partnerships. We love seeing the honesty, humor, and passion you bring to every answer and comment—it pushes us to do better and dream bigger.

Neoboards & Community Forums

The Neoboards and other fan forums remain a heartbeat of discussion, critique, and creativity. We’ve read your threads—about site bugs, feature wishlists, and even the wildest pet color mashups. The debates, feedback, and support you offer each other help us identify pain points, celebrate success, and set our priorities. Your ideas often become our next big update.

Face-to-Face with Fans at Conventions & Events

Nothing beats meeting Neopians in person! Whether at San Diego Comic-Con or our own Birthday Bashes, every handshake, selfie, and conversation is a reminder of what makes this community special. Direct feedback from fans and volunteers at these events—what you love, what you want changed, and what you wish Neopia could be—goes straight back to our planning boards. These in-person moments have sparked merch collaborations, event ideas, and even site features that may not have happened otherwise.

Building the Future—Together

Our commitment is simple: keep the conversation going. We’re not just building for you, we’re building with you—online and in the real world. Every survey, forum post, poll, and IRL meetup is a chance for us to learn and grow, and we’re excited to keep expanding these opportunities. Expect more community-driven events, new ways to share feedback, and, yes, even more in-person Neopian adventures in the future.

Keep speaking up, keep showing up, and keep shaping Neopia with us. This is your world, and we’re grateful to be building it together.


We Want to Hear From You — Community Survey & Feedback

Year Review_Survey.jpg

We’ve just shared some of the biggest updates and events coming to Neopets in the next year—from The Void Within plot expansion and Battledome improvements, to real-world merch drops and global exhibitions. But the real question is: What do you think?

Our roadmap is always evolving, and your voice is what shapes it most. Whether you’re fired up about a new feature, want to see more IRL events, or have a wild idea we haven’t even dreamed of yet, we want to hear from you. Your feedback helps us decide what to prioritize, improve, or experiment with next.

But we know the best ideas (and the most important feedback) come straight from the community.

We Need Your Input!

  • What did we miss?
  • What should we fix, add, or improve?
  • Got a wild suggestion or a story to share?
  • Or do you just want to drop a meme or a favourite memory?

Button_Survey.png

Conclusion — Still Growing, Still Fixing, Still Listening

Two years in, and Neopia is still standing—sometimes on shaky stilts, but always moving forward (and occasionally moonwalking back to fix something we broke). If there’s one thing this wild ride has taught us, it’s that Neopets is so much more than a website; it’s a living, meme-powered universe kept aloft by nostalgia, creativity, and the world’s most passionate community.

We know we’re not perfect—sometimes our fixes need fixes, and sometimes our surprises are a little too surprising. But every bug report, meme, and heartfelt suggestion you send our way makes Neopia better. Your patience, honesty, and relentless love for this weird world inspire us to keep reaching higher (and to keep the duct tape handy, just in case).

As we head into another year—armed with new features, bigger stories, and a few more grey hairs—we want you to know that our doors (and inboxes) are always open. Keep speaking up. Keep sharing your ideas, your critiques, and your favorite Neopian memories. We’re here, we’re listening, and we promise to keep laughing with you (and sometimes at ourselves) every step of the way.

Thank you for sticking with us, for keeping us honest, and for reminding us why Neopia is worth fighting for. The adventure is just getting started.

Here’s to another year of omelettes, adventures, and endless inside jokes. Let’s keep building Neopia together.

With gratitude and a little more wisdom,
— The Neopets Team
