'''Neoschool''' is a feature that was in the stages of creation since at least the year 2002. The concept would be that users could take their [[Neopet]]s to school, where they get an overall education from teachers in many different fields. Just like school in real life, the user could choose the classes their Neopets go to, and even receive a report card on their progress.

Various updates on Neoschool via the New Features continued until October 29, 2004 when [[The Neopets Team|TNT]] confirmed through that week's Neopian Times editorial that Neoschools would be put on hold with the promise that it might be continued later. As of March 2012 however, Neoschool still does not exist and the absense of further news concerning the project makes it unlikely that it ever will.

==The Classes==
The classes and teachers that were planned to be the core of Neoschools are detailed below:

*'''Basic Mathematics''' - Taught by [[Dr. Ballard]], the first part of the term covers basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. All Neopets are required to know their times tables by the end of half-term. The lessons become more challenging during later courses when Dr. Ballard progresses to formula and shape.
**''Final Exam - 9th day of Celebrating''
*'''Starting Science''' - Taught by [[Mr. Noakes]], the first part of the term is spent learning about weights and measurement. There is a field trip to [[Meri Acres Farm]] where Neopets learn about [[petpet]]s and crops, such as potato and turnip farming. After half-term there is a school science competition where one student can win their own microscope.
**''Final Exam - 11th day of Celebrating''
*'''Grammar and Language''' - Taught by [[Mrs. Owens]], students are expected to bring their own supplies to class, and any student without a pencil and paper are sent home immediately. The entire term covers sentence structure and the use of nouns, adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions and pronouns.
**''Final Exam - 8th day of Celebrating''
*'''Learning Art''' - Taught by [[Mr. Lupid]], students learn about the use of shape and colour. The term starts with finger painting and progresses to charcoal sketches and pencil drawing by the end of half-term. The second half of the term explores the use of textiles and clay, and there is a school art competition with [[Neopoint]] prizes.
**''Final Exam - 12th day of Celebrating''
*'''Simple Spelling''' - Taught by [[Miss Matthews]], the class teaches students common spelling mistakes and how to avoid them. Simple rhymes and ditties are taught to Neopets so they can spell almost anything correctly if they try hard enough.
**''Final Exam - 12th day of Celebrating''
*'''Potion Brewing Basics''' - Taught by [[Mr. Leer]] as one the most advanced classes, Neopets are taught the basic components of spells and where to find the ingredients. One third of the class is spent doing practical experiments, and the purchase of an apron is recommended. The second half of the term includes a guest lesson taught by [[Kauvara]].
**''Final Exams - 10th day of Celebrating''
*'''Physical Education''' - Taught by [[Miss Stryke]], Neopets are taught a variety of sports designed to promote ball skills, balance, proper breathing techniques and team spirit. A ski trip to [[Terror Mountain]] is planned during the latter part of the term.
**''Final Exam - 9th day of Celebrating''
*'''Early Neopian History''' - Taught by [[Mrs. Green]], the class gives a brief overview of life in early [[Neopia]], exploring such questions as "Where did Neopets get food before the shops existed", "What did the first houses look like", and "When did Neopoints get introduced".
**''Final Exams - 11th day of Celebrating''
*'''Basic Geography''' - Taught by [[Miss Stryke]] in the term after ''Physical Education''.
**''Final Exams - ?''

==Trivia==
*Due to the fact there hasn't been any news of Neoschool in a long time, there has been debates if it will ever be released. This idea is strengthened in the video game [[Neopets: The Darkest Faerie]], where the word "Neoschool" appeared on a grave tomb, perhaps signifing the idea of Neoschool is officially dead.
*The page detailing the Neoschool classes was released on September 5, 2004.
*[[Mr. Lupid]]'s [[Neopedia]] article was released on November 6, 2003.

{{construction|reason=More information on TNT, new sections to create and others to fill, plot summaries to fill}}

'''The Neopets Team''' (''TNT'' for short) are the official employees of Neopets Inc. who work on the [[Neopets (website)|website]]. Their official user account [http://www.neopets.com/randomfriend.phtml?user=theneopetsteam theneopetsteam] is the only account in which the TNT will official contact users through [[NeoMail]], a fact strengthened all the more with the exploding ''TNT'' [[avatar]] (TNT shares the same abbreviation is [[Wikipedia:Trinitrotoluene|Trinitrotoluene]]), used only by the The Neopets Team. They seem to have a strange obsession with [[asparagus]].

==User account types==
Sometimes a member of TNT has their own user account, and if they choose can signify they are a member of TNT by a tag on the bottom of their [[User Lookup]]. There are also other accounts which are used for special purposes on Neopets. The collected ones are...

*'''Monitor''' - The most basic kind of account. Monitors watch over the interactions between users on the site. Sometimes artists, writers and other employees are given this account type, often confusing regular users. Some monitors are responsible for one country only. These are listed as "Non-US-Monitors" at the end of this article.
*'''Auction''' - This type of account creates special auctions in the [[Auction House]] for regular users to bid on. The [[item]]s involved usually are very rare.
*'''Lawyer''' - Account given to [[Lawyerbot]], the lawyer for Neopets. Used by Lawyerbot to find spammers, scammers, and other illegal activities on Neopets.
*'''Programmer''' - Programmers create games and plots around the site.

==Plot summaries==
===Sacrificers===
{{main|Sacrificers}}

The Neopets Team journeyed to the newly-discovered [[Mystery Island]] where they became part of an elimination-survival game, with each week a member being sacrificed to [[Mumbo Pango]], a god of the native [[Coconut People]], until only one remained - [[Donna]].

===Ski Lodge Murder Mystery===
{{Main|Ski Lodge Murder Mystery}}

The Neopets Team, on holiday in [[Terror Mountain]], were trapped in the old Ski Lodge by a freak snowstorm. Unable to leave the mansion, one by one the staff members were picked off by a mysterious murderer in their midst until only the murderer and one last staff member survived: [[Maverick]] and [[Beader]] respectively. Before Maverick could come after Beader, she trapped him in a cage. Before the police could arrest him, he exploded, for he was a robotic replica made by a mysterious villain, possibly Dr Sloth.

Many of the members of the team were "killed off" during the [[Neopets Staff Sacrificers]] and [[Ski Lodge Murder Mystery]].

===Altador Cup 2006===

==Neocam==
{{main|Neocam}}

The '''Neocam''' gaves users a look into The Neopets Team's headquarters, where they worked to keep Neopets running. The [[Wikipedia:webcam|webcam]] was on 24/7, capturing a new picture every minute. Some images were saved for future enjoyment. Sadly, the Neocam has broken and is not used any more.

==Trivia==
*On January 14, 2000, The Neopets Team turned into [[Wikipedia:Pokémon|Pokémon]]
*On January 18, 2000, an admin power was added to the website, which allowed The Neopets Team to give items to users.
*One of the test accounts, paganmachine, is the [[wikipedia:Portugal|Portuguese]] [[NeoBoard]] moderator.
