Dreaming in July Neopet Giveaway

Mon Jul 07, 2014 10:40 pm

For anyone interested....

Dream Pet page

News Page wrote:Dreaming of the winter holidays already? Who says we can't celebrate in the summer? :) The Dreaming in July Neopet Giveaway is here! There is no need to wait until December in order to enter. Submit your dream species/colour combination, and if you are one of the ten lucky winners, you will get your holiday wish early!
Entry Page wrote:To celebrate the summer (and because the Day of Giving is so far away), we're going to grant ten extra Neopians the Neopet of their dreams! All you have to do to enter is select one of your Neopets and your dream species/colour combination. If you're one of the winners, that Neopet will be magically transformed into your dream combination. (We've been assured that the process is not painful.)

Important information:

You must enter by 2:00 PM NST on Monday, July 21st. (This page will disappear after that!)
You can only enter on ONE account. It doesn't have to be your main, but you can't enter on more than one account or you will be disqualified!
If you win, any customisation items your Neopet is wearing will be placed into the closet automatically after the transformation.
If you select an unconverted Neopet to enter, the Neopet will NOT stay that way should you win the giveaway. All winners/transformations will be converted.
Ten winners in total will be randomly selected! They will receive their dream Neopets and be announced in New Features on Wednesday, July 23rd.
That's it! Good luck!

Awesome! Thanks, P!

Of course, I already have my dream Neopet ;)

Hmm. I wonder which is more expensive, a Maraquan Shoyru or a Stealth Ixi (for the clothes only... which I'd feel terrible for, except come on, those clothes are awesome! and stealth pet eyes are creepy...). Not that I'll win, but you never know... (I was actually supposed to adopt a stealth ixi for free, no strings attached, but the person had run out of transfers, and when I contacted them the next month, they never got back to me... *sigh*)

You could always put contact lenses over the creepy eyes?

While I've always wanted a Cybunny, I adore all my current pets and their personalities go with their species.

Someday, when I have money, maybe I'll get Premium and a fifth pet...

Today's the last day!

I went ahead and submitted my Ixi on my side for the dream giveaway; stealthy pb is worth 9M, while Maraquan is about half that. Those are some expensive clothes!

Blue, I find some of the contacts nearly as creepy as the stealthy eyes. I'm not sure I'm going to keep Siofra pirate for forever (not a fan of the red eyes, either...), but for now, it'll do. But some stealthy clothes would look dapper on her!

Dag nab. I meant to put in my labbie for something, but they closed the entry page early. (like, before noon NST). Ugh.

Aww, Pickles. Well, your odds of winning were really low, anyway.

Aww. Bummer, P.

You should still send in an editorial question asking why they closed the contest before the announced time, P. Not that you'll get the pet, but still... TNT needs to realize they have got to stop doing that kind of thing.

Eh, I'm not that worried about it. I didn't figure I'd win, anyways...besides, I didn't even know what to submit for my labbie to be turned into. ;)

ETA: At least they addressed this in the editorial this week:
TNT, I am disappoint. It is currently 12:40 pm NST on Monday the 21st of July, and the important information clearly states I have exactly until 2:00 pm on Monday the 21st of July to enter for my dream Neopet. ALAS, it is not so. Instead, the message at the bottom reads: "Applications are now closed. Please check New Features on announcement day to see the winners!" I feel that you should transform all of my 'pets into unconverted grey Krawks as compensation for this devastating oversight... not really, that would be terrible! Please leave out my username. :) ~username removed
We'd like to apologise for that! It seems some coding went rogue and decided to end it early, despite our instructions. :(
