Q: What's the deal with all of the broken Neopoints? Can you fix them at the Toy Repair Shop? If not, what's the point of them? ~indian_gurl_48

TNT: Yes, Donny can actually repair bags of broken Neopoints. Of course (oddly enough), bags of broken Neopoints generally sell for more than what you can normally win from them once fixed, and that's not even considering Donny's repair fee.

Me: I was lucky that Donny didn't charge me anything and I got 1352np from repairing the broken neopoints.




Q: Where can you get the broken neopoints?
A: From Underwater Fishing or at the Wizard.
of Broken Neopoints cost 2,098 NP at the wizard.



Something new with active pet display.

Q: Hi, now that our active Neopet is shown on the boards, many of us would like to use our best Neopet as our active Neopet while posting. There is a risk to using your best Neopet, though. Boochi or the Random Event that turns your Neopet invisible are both risks. Is there any chance that we could choose which Neopet would be shown on the Neoboards while we are posting, rather than this solely being determined by our active Neopet? Thank you for your consideration. ~upinthehills

A: Not to worry! That feature is already on the list. ;) You will eventually be able to select which Neopet you want to display on the boards. There are a few things to work out, due to the nature of abandoning and adopting Neopets, so we'll likely finish The Pound up first before we get to working those things out and releasing this feature.

Some news from Neopian Times

Some questions on Neopian Times Issue #292

Lost Isle Plot's Challengers:
Q: On May 17th, a link was placed in the news pointing to a Moach that was attacking the adventurers in the plot. My question is: if we cannot/do not defeat this challenger in the Battledome, will it become impossible for someone to continue participating in the plot? I know myself I do not train my Neopets for Battledome usage and so far I've really enjoyed the plot and want to continue participating. Thanks for your help. ~x_silence_me_x

A: No, you do not need to beat any of the challengers to proceed in the plot. We understand various players enjoy different aspects of plots. Some like puzzles, while others enjoy the Battledome or just reading the comics, so we try to add a mixture to attempt to please as many as we can. So don't fret if you can't defeat any or all of the challengers, it may affect your score (depending on how we tally the final points), but will not stop you from completing the plot.

Altador Plot Reward:
Q: Hi TNT, I just finished the Altador plot but I haven't received the sidebar or the trophy that I was supposed to get. I did, however, get the Finneus avatar... is this a glitch? If so, could you fix it? I'd absolutely love to have the shiny trophy and the cool sidebar when I'm on the site. Thanks so much, you guys are awesome and keep up the great work! ~kittencuddles359

A: We're currently looking into this issue. We think we know what happened, but fixing those people who only got partial prizes will be tricky. We'll post an update in New Features when we know more!

Evil Coconut Shy Avatar:
Q: TNT, why are you so evil to me? I play Coconut Shy every day and every day the coconut does not fall off... do I have terribly bad luck or is there some strategy? I want my avvie!!! ~kougratrainer32113

A: Sorry, it's mostly luck! And trust us, it's going to take a lot of it to get that avatar! There's a reason they're called *evil* coconuts....

What I have to say: That's cruel. I have wasted so much NP already and see no sign of that AV.
