The Agency



GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!

The Agency has returned! For those of you who have been around long enough to remember, insaneoni created and ran the original pet trading agency through N_A back in 2009. Well, she's at it again! Unfortunately she does not really lj anymore so I am acting ambassador to N_A as well as running general assistance (and the FAQ page).



Feel free to hit me with any questions/concerns, and visit The Agency to see the listed pets or list your own!
Please neomail Jayri with any pets you wish to add (but please use the form found on The Agency's homepage) because we won't be accepting additions through LJ comments due to necessary proof of ownership, etc.


One more thing-if you were the maker of the original banner for The Agency, please let me know! We've been trying to hunt it down but haven't managed to find it saved anywhere yet. Thanks!

Neopets and the elements of chance

Saw this on SunnyNeo (http://sunnyneo.com):
 


Adventure Capsule bonus info

The amount of bonus items you received from getting all the Limited Editions of all five Mystery Capsules varies from 2-5.
 
Hi,

Thank you for writing in about the Mystery Capsule Adventure frames! Every user who qualified for this received the chance to win anywhere from 2 to 5 land-themed frames. It works pretty much how the bonus item from a Mystery Capsule works (wherein you have the chance to win the bonus). The number of frames given to a user is random, and is not based off your numbers of capsules opened, or the like. We did not announce how this bonus was going to work, because we want to keep our bonuses a surprise!

Thank you though, for sending in your feedback regarding this particular bonus. We are taking all of your comments into consideration, and will try to make sure everybody will be happy with our bonuses the next time around!

 
Regards,
TNT

 
Thanks to missmollymayhem and prada_prince for sending us this info.
 
Edit: Opening more Mystery Caps after receiving Frames won't give you more Frames though. It's a set number once you got the 5th Limited Edition.
  



I did not purchase the Mystery Capsules thing, but I can tell you that I will not be happy if I purchased 40 of each Capsule, got all 5 LEs, and then received 2 frames while someone who purchased less Capsules received 5 frames. Shouldn't it be common sense that people will NOT be happy if they spend a lot of money on something only to feel shortchanged by what they paid for? And then calling this element of randomness "a surprise" - that is adding salt to the wound, because it's an unpleasant surprise alright. I don't know what TNT is thinking. Maybe they aren't.

This has me thinking: way too much of Neopets is based on an element of randomness. I have played for 8 years, no FFQ. Knowing my luck, if that FF shows up, she'd probably ask for a Mystery Island Draik Egg or something. But I know people who have been playing for a few months when they get one. Not counting AAA where both chance and internet speed coming into play, so many things on Neopets are random. Paintbrushes - random, unless I have L33t graphic skills and something to enter those contests. Transmogrification potions - random event. Key Quest is also pretty random in the sense that you are rolling a virtual dice to play. Usukicon bags or whatever goodies announced on some "special" day - well, if you are lucky and you see it stocked in the Toy Store and you manage to snipe it... 

It will be nice if there are more constant things on Neopets, more things that you know you CAN get if you work hard enough for it. Maybe a token for the Fountain that costs a lot of NPs, for example, instead of just waiting for that silly broad to show up and ask for overpriced things. 

But back to the Capsule frame thingies, it is a bad idea of reward people randomly. They have paid for so much to get the rewards, give them all 5 frames! It's only virtual images we are talking about here, so what's the problem, TNT?

Maintenance Has Begun!

I'm getting this message on the profile editing/preferences page. They might be others. At the moment you can't edit profile, site preferences and, crucially, password.



Oops!


This part of the site is currently unavailable. EVERYBODY PANIC! No, wait. The opposite. Everything is fine and the Code Myncis are just doing some maintenance. Things should return to normal shortly!

what. the. hell.

okay, so I'm a customization DERP and I don't really know how a lot of this stuff works so bear with me...

a couple weeks ago my lab rat was turned into a pteri, zapped a couple of different colors, including disco - then he zapped striped (which, I don't care, y'know?) but the thing is, the stupid thing STILL has a bright yellow headband from the disco color. so I'm all 'cool, he kept the clothes' - so I go to customize him to take it off and stash it - only it doesn't show up.

WTF y'all?

Finally! YAY!

So happy to have this av at last! Now my inventory won't be filled with junk!

What av did I get, you ask?Collapse )

I got it on level 88 for those who are wondering! I thought for sure it'd be much higher lol.

Whooooo!

Neo paranoia.

How paranoid has everyone been lately?

I haven't been all that paranoid for the most part. I do what I can with all the safety precautions I can. I avoid the boards/random lookups/petpages, use adblock/noscript/requestpolicy, log out and back in regularly, all that good stuff.

Despite that though, I was playing Neoquest and got logged out earlier. I admit my stomach turned. I immediately logged back in, then out again, then back in again, and checked everything... everything seems fine and untouched, and I feel kind of silly because Neopets by itself DOES log you out sometimes and with how careful I've been, it's probably nothing. But with all the CGing lately, even I'm paranoid! Though I take some comfort in knowing they wouldn't be able to change my password with the site maintenance, and that logging out should have destroyed their session.

How is everyone holding up? Are y'all hanging in there? I know a lot of people have been frozen/cged lately. Is everyone doing alright?

Premade Pet lookups

We have a lot of posts about premade userlookups and stuff, but I'd like to know if anyone has TRUSTWORTHY links to premade PET lookups? Not petpages or userlookups, the petlookups.

So far I've been googling, but I really don't like going to random petpages with layouts for obvious reasons. I looked at Sunnyneo and didn't see any I liked, either. Any help is appreciated!

squawk

When did this background pop up??? It's so pretty!!
DTI preview, safe, I promise!!

Ugh. Now I have to decide how I'm gonna get one for my side so Cyleine can wear it... xD

EDIT: note, I don't actually have the dress, just messin' around in DTI TT_TT

Daily NC Trade Post! 9-15-10

Whee, time to trade!  Post your NC wishes and trades in this post!

------

I am DESPERATELY seeking...

FEET IN THE CLOUDS FG!

http://items.jellyneo.net/mywishes/astrolified/
- scroll past my massive np wishlist

I have three boxes, will use all for this trade if necessary and fair!

Other wishes...

Meepit Balloon
Long Summer Dress

Not seeking the other items on my WL at this time!

If you have what I need but don't see anything on my trades list, please show me your wishlist, I might be willing to trade something from my closet!

Very Well Named?

How
can
you tell if your pet is well named? Which of your pets has the best names?

I ask because I had always assumed that names without _ - or numbers where good names but I'm beginning to think its not that simple.

Inspired by two different people neomailing me wanting to trade for my new Xweetok because of her name, "TheDreadRedHead". I just named her as I named the other pets I've created, with a name I thought was funny and vaguely related to her looks.

As always I am paranoid that this doesn't belong here, so just kick me if it doesn't, and I'll take it down.


-Topknot

Has this ever happened to you? o_ô

Hi all! I mostly lurk here, but I figured I'd post this...

I was playing Faerie Bubbles last week sometime and I used the 'bubbles' code on one of the levels...and this happened! o_ô



I was sort of shocked but kept on playing, but then I realized halfway through that I should PROBABLY TAKE A SCREENSHOT. The 'bubbles' code turned every bubble into what looked like nova bubbles! The only way for me to get rid of them was by burning them with fire bubbles :o Has this happened to anyone before? I'm guessing it was some kind of bug.

Name Purge?

Hiiii! Long time lurker, first time poster - my main is "elke" if anybody is interested :)

Anyhoo, I've been mostly offline for about a month. I was stalking a shitton of pet names before I left, and I assumed at least some of them would have been purged by the time I got back.

.. none of them have been xD

So have they cancelled the purge completely? Or is it happening so slowly that my ridiculously massive list (over 100 names) just hasn't been touched yet?

I know for a fact that some of them have been frozen/inactive for well over two years, because I've been half-assedly stalking them for at least that long haha.

I've asked around on the HC a few times but nobody seems to want to answer me, lol, so I figured I'd ask you kind folks instead :) SORRY if this has already been clarified, I went back a little ways and didn't find anything D:

Illusen you meanie :(

So, I finally got all the way up to Illusen's Quest #35, I'm super excited, and:



*sobs*

Site Update!

The news today had a paragraph about some site updates that they'll be setting up over the next few days, so the site will be laggy and occasionally down for a while. I hope this means they're finally fixing the CG problem.


Copypasted For Your ConvenienceCollapse )

Sep. 14th, 2010

I hope this is okay to put here! If not, let me know and I'll nuke it, but hopefully it is. :)

I know we have some people (mostly artists) here who have furaffinity accounts, so I've made a club for those of us over on FA! You can submit art to the club and discuss Neopets related stuff via journals, and there'll probably be contests and fun activities down the line! Here is the link to the club account: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/neopets/ The profile explains how things work.

The club itself is brand new even though the account isn't. The account was abandoned and the admins of the site were nice enough to let me have it since it hadn't been visited in 3 years! Which is why it shows it was created in 2007, but I only just got access to it today to set it up. :)

Pet lending request

Hi all~!
This is a somewhat strange request, but I really would love to borrow someone's unclothed desert Xweetok so I can move the clothes from one account to another. I recently got a dream pet of a Faerie Xweetok, and she needs her desert clothes on my main with her!
I will be receiving the Xwee on my side rinkitinky (where I have the desert clothes); dressing the Xwee and transferring to my main juumou; removing clothes and (pound dropping?) back to you.
This would be a transfer for October (or later), at your convenience.

As an off-neo appreciation gift, I'll do a colored drawing of one of your pets :D Examples here, safe link. :3

I sincerely hope that this request isn't against policies, and I will remove/edit my post as necessary to adhere to them.

Thanks for your consideration ;w;

The final cap is out.
Anyone get the bonus prizes or LE from this specific cap? Show us!

Some LE info below, of what I can find...
SpoilersCollapse )

Neopets Phone Number?

Does TNT have a phone number? I want them to freeze my accounts because so far everything is the same.

All I can find is the premium number, help?

hacked

they changed my passwords on every single of of my accts and my junk e-mail as well. everything looks the same except for the userlookup coding is gone (probably full of CGers now). now I can't get in.

does anyone know iza's username? and who else was I neofriends with? did you see me online in the past week (not the last two days though)? because if not I may have deleted you.

nevermind, I just sent it. wish me luck.

Sep. 14th, 2010

Hey guys,

Lucky me, my computer completely died over the weekend and for now, I'm using a friend's.

I'm wondering if any of y'all have a petpage with dailies on it? I used one that had a ton of useful links but of course, it's gone with the computer. Any help would be much appreciated.

Just because my main is currently out of commission doesn't mean I can't work on my goal of transforming Leencey into a beautiful Draik: http://outfits.openneo.net/bKZ3NM

Thanks again!

SO how 'bout them fall items? So excited!

Hey! I stopped playing Neo for a while...but here I am! Back into the swing of things. Is the six flags things still letting you collect flags? I've been working my butt off the past 4-5 days to get 1500 for that background - I feel like my flags just aren't being counted today! I'm ay 1179..come on Six Flags just a few more days! :'(

Magma Pool guard was nodded out when I visited today! Decided to use it on my Hissi :)


Cool beans!

Now, I'm wondering if any of you have any advice on pet trading? I know some people do it like...435879845 times a month..some people do it once or twice a year. I have yet to successfully trade anything and I do want to!
Now Kamokani the magma hissi, can't trade him until the 26th when my new acct. turns 6 months old - if I even want to. However on my side I have a Pink Cybunny with a "decent" name (in my opinion anyways) and a Tyrannian Zafara..
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=Chlooe
http://www.neopets.com/petlookup.phtml?pet=ParisLilly

Now, I have tried on the boards quite a few times to no avail.(plus all this talk of CG stuff makes me timid of going to the boards..) It is really frustrating. I tried to join PaP, but I don't meet their standards (which I understand but it stinks for me!)..so any other options?
Are there any other communities on LJ for trading/adopting out pets.forums...facebook? Anything!? I know there is a post here for this every now and then but I always seem to miss it. I just want to see some new faces in my little family!Maybe make some girly girl happy with a pink bunny, with an uber girly name :P

Also, if you want to throw your 2 cents in on what you think I could get for Chlooe or ParisLilly...not sure about trading Kamokani but him too if you want. I appreciate ALL input though, seriously. I'm a lost little puppy dog guys.

Neo Cash Cards?

Is anyone heading out for some today? * looks hopeful * I find myself addicted. And is anyone else waiting with baited breath for more Fall items in the NM?

NP Sales Post for Sept 13th!

I'm looking to buy a bunch of two dubloon coins:



I've just started training my BD pet and he's blowing through the ones I have stashed away!
With everything going on right now I'm wary of user shops, so If you have any sitting in your SDB I'd love to take them off your hands.
If you have a ton, I'd pay a little extra for the convenience, since it'll save me trouble trying to hunt them down.

So N_A, what are you selling/seeking today?

Zap + Training/Trading Help

I zapped this awesome little monster this morning; my labs have loved me lately. I haven't had multiple color zaps since I started target zapping aishas. If my luck continues, hopefully I'll have a new Choco, Faerie, Robot OR Alien Aisha on my hands.. they're the only colors I have left!



Meet Akwq, my new pet project.

I'd like to one day trade him for a Plushie Aisha of any name. Preferably DN/WN and I'm not entirely picky about capitalization, underscores or multiple words (AsBeautyDies is my new Grey Aisha darling and I luffs him). I think this helps my case.

I just started training Akwq for stats, mainly a nice little HSD that will make him a tempting trade for a current Plushie Aisha owner. My issue is... I don't know what to train to. /~Flanquer suggests 150 even stats or 450 uneven stats but that seems a little high in my head. (If it helps, I'm using /~Zancudos as my "training guide".)

What do you think, N_A, am I on the right path for this little endeavor of mine? Should I train higher, train lower? I personally think his name is pretty awesome, knowing that the PC likes short names, but somehow I think it might hold us back. Or, do you think I'd have better luck trading Iipt as a BD pet instead of Akwq?


I plan on laying down for a short nap here soon, I woke up with a butt-kicking cold and my brain hurts. Replies will probably be slow, but all comments are greatly appreciated.

New Super Sale Items!

Since the NeoHome Super Sale ended they've started another one. Items under the cut!

Supa SaleCollapse )

lab post



my poogle turned electric! anyone else get good results?

CGed by NM?

I just got a NM from someone asking if I was online by any chance, I was about to reply but remembered the whole CG thing and then I was about to look at their lookup but I stopped myself from doing that too.

My question is if the CGed by NM thing is still happening, and if so what does it take to be CGed in that way? Opening it, writing a reply or sending it?

Unofficial PB Colors

remansi's really cool Woodland Zafara picture got me thinking, wouldn't it be cool if everyone posted any fake paint jobs they've drawn? I'd love to see what other users have come up with. It can be a pet in a colour it can't be painted yet, a colour that doesn't exist, or even a colour crossover (I seem to recall someone here doing some really awesome colour splices before).

For my part, I only have a few that are actually finished to share, but I've several more WIPs that I'll share once they're done, if anyone's interested.

large image alert!Collapse )

Giveaway!

Alek placed third for his species in the BC! Pretty pleased seeing as it was the first time I entered, and my advertising was minimal due to board paranoia.
Made me feel a [very] little bit better about the terrible night I had last night.

In gratitude for the undeniable assistance, the first ten people who reply with what they collect, get a gift!
Don't forget your neoname!

[Mine's felicityteatime]

Off to bed soonish, but there's 6 to go! If I don't get something sent out tonight, I shall do tomorrow =}

Dreamies!

This is my newest dreamie, who I discovered on DTI. I've always loved Koi but I've never really found anything to do with them, until I discovered the gorgeous crown. The rest of the outfit sort of fell together.



It's a Faerie Koi with a Royal Boy Koi Crown, Royal Girl Koi Cloak, and a Koi Ocean Lord Trident. Isn't she gorgeous?

I just have to zap a Faerie Koi, save up enough to buy two Royal PBs (or hope for lab luck switching genders), and the Trident... so this is obviously going to be a long process haha.

What are your dreamies?

Sep. 11th, 2010

I'm looking to buy a and would love my NPs to go to the lovely people around here!

Also feel free to use this post to advertise what you're buying/selling today!

Fishing Levels?

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if i transfer my pet, would her fishing level be reset? or does that only happen when a pet is pounded?

Cheers, Nic

Woodland Ideas?

S I know a lot of you guys (myself included) are pretty disappointed about the wasted potential of the new Woodland color. As I am messing around with making colors for pets in Photoshop, I want to know what kinds of plants and woodsy things you'd want to see in a woodland pet. I've already drawn one up, but I'd like to hear other suggestions. Anybody have any?
Pic under cut.Collapse )
 
It appears that German support is no longer helping Americans or those who do not live in Germany.  A member in this comm made an earlier post about how they said they were not helping those out of the country, and after I mentioned this on the charter frozen thread, someone else posted that they got a similar response.

I don't know if this is just the German team, but it's looking like using them won't work anymore.  If you are going to attempt to use a foreign language report, try another language.

Or, like the user earlier mentioned, change your country and use a proxy that originates from Germany.  It's possible that will work.  Just changing your country won't work as your IP address still tells where you live.

Good luck everyone!

P.S. for anyone wondering, they have not fixed my or anyone elses pets yet.  Another user and I both received responses to our tickets after publicly complaining that they "are aware of the issue and are taking it seriously, and that we need to be patient because there is not a current fix," which we all know is a lie, but hey.  Trying not to lose it.

Petpet Matching Help, Please?

Thanks to a wonderful community member, Mystic is all grown-up and in her Winter finest! Now comes the hard part: she needs a petpet to match!

Here's Mystic:


Here's the list of possible petpets: http://items.jellyneo.net/mywishes/annetoinette/ (it's the first list)

I'm leaning toward the faerie gruslen or blue gathow, but I'm really not sure. I'm also open to any suggestions not on the list. Usually petpets have popped out and screamed, "pick me!" but this time? Nothing's really speaking to me. Maybe you could help?

~e!

Avatar Alert!

Hi guys! Sorry about my previous post coming out blank. LJ has been a little finicky lately.

Anyhow. Woohoo! Friday! What better way to kick off the weekend than a concert and a new avatar?


Want it? First, you have to buy a ticket here: http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/ticketbooth.phtml

Then, off to the show! http://www.neopets.com/prehistoric/concerthall.phtml

I've been trying to get this one for ages, but I could never remember to check to see who was playing. Heh. Have a great weekend!
 

Rock out with your Krawk out!
