Editorial is up

[hiddenneggs]

You know the offers that you advertise at the top such as the free handbags? Well would it be possible to have any cool offers (such as the free handbag) availible in the UK? Pwetty pwetty pwetty pwease *puppy dog eyes* Thank you! - krissyncandyy2k
We are working on getting better banners at the moment. Ideally we would have relevant offers available to people all over the world, bit we are relatively new in the banner industry and it takes a while to build things up.

I just wanted to know how often you make a new Neopian times, because I always read it. But for as long as I can remember, you have never said how often you update it! Each time a new one comes out,Could you please say in the Neopian times how often you update it? - Neo_girl2155
For the English language Neopian Times it is updated every Friday. If there is a change to this (such as Friday being a holiday) it will be announced in New Features. Whenever a new issue is released it is also mentioned in New Features. You can get to this page by clicking on 'News' in the yellow side bar.

Uh, do you think that you could possibly upgrade the maximum amount of characters that pet descriptions can hold? 1,000 just isn't enough. - lorddracula50
I would like to increase the character limit, yes. I've asked our programmers and with any luck this will be set up shortly.

Does the "lever of doom" does ANYTHING but to steal 100 Neopoints? - Tal9922
Some people have earnt Neopoints and even avatars from it... It just seems to be quite stingy.

Is there anything else number six can say besides "Ow?" I would really like him to say something else besides ow. I think a lot of people would agree on this. - galinuva43
I am afraid Number Six is quite shy. If you were being hit on the head wouldn't you say Ow! too?

I think it might be interesting if there was a huge stock market crash, like the one in 1929. The stock market would go down and the bank would run out of money and there would be total CHAOS as everyone loses their money... But that's just my opinion... And I think it would be funny (for me anyway)... - willman93
Oooh that is such a nasty idea hehe. I think a lot of people would be very distressed if anything like that happened, but who knows... The Stock Market has been a little too stable recently...

How come regular Maraquan Aishas look different from Isca? I mean, she has a classic mermaid style tail, and regular Maraquan Aishas have this weird little stub for a tail fin. Could you do anything to fix that? - f18pilot
Isca is just one of many Maraquan Aishas. They can all look slightly different and there is nothing wrong with being a little unusual. Caylis doesn't exactly look like your average Maraquan Aisha either. Quite often the main characters in our plots are slight variations on the normal Neopet that you can adopt, so they stand out and you can recognise them easily. If Kanrik was just a normal blue Gelert, he wouldn't be half as popular.

I noticed that black-colored neopets are called shadow neopets, but black-colored petpets are just called black petpets. So which is it, black or shadow? - sjerules
With Neopets its Shadow (it just sounds more mysterious and cooler) with Petpets it is black, although I guess it would make more sense if they were shadow too.

I love kikos and I was wondering if you could relese some on kiko day. - watermelon_buble_gum
Yes, on any pet day for a limited edition Neopet, we will release some more of that species. We try to split it up throughout the day though so it is fairer to people in different time zones.

Are all of the games in the Deserted Fairground rigged? I've noticed that Baggatale has a pile of books under one of the legs. O.o - starme102
What? Rigged? Surely not! The odds may be a little more favourable to the game owner than the player, but people can and do win.

Oh, yes, scam us some more.

Yet another useless question. Just check the news, you'll see a pattern...

Yes, they'll get to this right after they increase petpage and NeoBoard post length.

Earnt isn't a word, tsk, tsk...

Of course. What an important question! And an equally important response!

Use your common sense.

TWW must like this question, too... :|

With Neopets its Shadow (it just sounds more mysterious and cooler) with Petpets it is black, although I guess it would make more sense if they were shadow too.

Because TNT wasn't thinking. As usual.

I love kikos and I was wondering if you could relese some on kiko day. - watermelon_buble_gum
Yes, on any pet day for a limited edition Neopet, we will release some more of that species. We try to split it up throughout the day though so it is fairer to people in different time zones.

No, they are never going to release a limited edition pet on its day. They never have in the past. Ever.

Go to a real-life carnival, bub. Then you'll realize how dumb this question was.

That was asked last week wasn't it, or was it for something else?

I wish they would increase userlookup to 5k...My lookup was almost done till I couldn't fix the tiny piece of yellow sidebar at the bottom. Stupid max limit. I can't win userlookup with that flaw.


EDIT: Ok...that was new.

Hmm..... Not for draiks and krawks.

Those are restricted. Not limited edition.

I know it doesn't apply to Krawks because they're "restricted" rather than "limited edition". But, Draiks are "limited edition" same as Jetsams, Cybunnies, Koi, etc so you're correct on that one.

[sirclucky]

*recalls many a limited ed pet day where that pet species wasnt realsed... or at least not in the news*.

I fggure because it took them so long to realze it, Donna figgure she could be lazy about it. And Number 6 does stay stuff other than ow.

He says"As, pa, ra, gus, mon and ey"

I never really play that game but those quotes are very amusing

As far as Draiks are conserned though, a couple years back when Draik Eggs were just released they mentioned in an editorial they would release some just like any other Limited edition pet.

Of course they've on and off contradicted that statement several time after that so...

Yes, I remember that. It was a riot. xP

With Neopets, not only does the right hand not know what the left hand is doing, the right hand forgets what it has previously done. . . .

I suppose TNT could do with investing in some little scraps of paper that they could write "To Do Lists" on. For example on pet days:

- new colours
- release of more pets if relevant
- mp/lc/cc/etc if appropriate for the day
- new plot info

Etc etc etc.

Hey, they'd only really have to write up a general one anyways and use it over and over and over and over again.
