Neopets Merchandise Database

If you're in the USA, all of us at Jellyneo hope that you have a happy, healthy, and safe Thanksgiving!

Jellyneo had the opportunity to attend RetroGameCon 2024, where Neopets held court as a Major Sponsor of the event. With merch prizes, panel discussions, a fan meetup, the debut of official graphic novel The Omelette Faerie, an exclusive prize code, and more, there was a lot going on!

Read all about it (with pictures too!) in our recap:

Where's Neopets off to next? TNT has recently confirmed that Neopets will be an exhibitor at Anime Festival Asia in Singapore at the end of this month, on 11/30-12/1. While Jellyneo will not be in attendance, we will plan to provide a recap afterward based on official social media.

What events would you like to see Neopets at? Let us know in the comments!

Last week, TNT announced the 40 cities where they plan to have community-run events to celebrate the 25th birthday of Neopets. At that time, only the cities were announced; dates, times, and venues were still all TBD.

Since then, much of the meetup details have been released! At the time of writing, 31 of the 40 locations have their details posted on the Neopets Portal:


Why not all 40? Well, there have been some logistical challenges in some locations. TNT Dragon has shared an update in unofficial Facebook group Neopets Nation with some explanation, as well as plans for expanding the celebration due to the level of interest. We've broken up the announcement into thematic sections. UPDATE, NOVEMBER 5th, ~10PM NST: A version of this announcement is now also available on TNT's official Neoboard.

Attendance is Exceeding TNT Expectations

🎉 Update Regarding the 25th Anniversary Birthday Bash 🥳

We’re thrilled by the overwhelming support and interest in the Neopets 25th Birthday Bash Community Meetups!

Originally, we envisioned smaller scale, community-led meetups, but didn’t anticipate the outpour of interest that has exceeded our initial expectations and accommodations from the planning stage. We want to empower our community to come together and celebrate this major milestone, and we encourage you to do this in your area if attending a Birthday Bash is not feasible.

The incredible enthusiasm we have seen has led us to work with hosts to expand capacity or look at alternative solutions, which has understandably led to some confusion and frustration within the community. We’re here to address these concerns and ensure clear communication with everyone.

Avatar and Merch
The announcement includes news that meetups will have virtual prize codes for an item that will in some way be used to unlock an avatar. However, the item can be "lent or sold" and so likely can be unlocked by anybody whether they attend an event or not! Also, as previously announced, TNT will provide merch for hosts to use for giveaways.

These gatherings are driven by community hosts, and we’re supporting them with some irl merchandise for raffles and lucky-draw activities. In addition, all event attendees with a Neopets.com username will receive a virtual prize, which includes a Birthday Bash Avatar awarded through an in-game item, and can be lent or sold onsite to other players.

Our hosts have been fantastic partners, helping us explore what’s feasible to accommodate the high level of interest. We have so much appreciation for their support and dedication.

More Celebrations to be Planned
To accommodate the high level of interest, TNT intends to plan additional events for a full month after the birthday weekend. These may include additional events in the 40 cities already announced and/or in other cities not already included!

IMPORTANT BIRTHDAY BASH UPDATES❗️
- While hosts have worked hard to ensure we have several gatherings on our birthday weekend, we have also decided to extend the meetup period through December 15, 2024.
- Some events are not yet listed as we are working with hosts to find ways to increase capacity, but the landing page will be updated regularly.
- We are reviewing previous applicants to reach out to some additional hosts in cities that have reached capacity very quickly (we see you NorCal and Ohio!). These events will run after the birthday weekend.

🚨The landing page with all information can be found here:
https://portal.neopets.com/news/oct28-neopetsbirthdaybash
Event listings will be transitioned into 2 categories:
1) Birthday Weekend Meetups (November 15-17, 2024)
2) Ongoing Meetups through December 15, 2024 (Dates variable based on hosts)

A few of our cities initially announced, (but that do not yet have confirmed details like Toronto & São Paulo, Brazil) may transition to the second category, so they can more adequately prepare for the larger turnout.

TNT is Thankful and Open to Questions

We appreciate all of you and we are grateful for a community that holds this much passion surrounding Neopets. With a clear path forward now determined, questions can be directed towards TNT Dragon in this thread, but please note that The Neopets Team does not tolerate harassment directed towards staff, players, or hosts.

Thank you! 🙏🏻

The Void Within Coverage

The Void Within has continued to develop over the last month, and we've covered it breathlessly!
