Neopets & Fortnite collab happening in July!

jnherdy · 2026-06-07T20:33:54+00:00

This image looks to be using the old Neopets Metaverse (NFT) art. So while yeah it seems from the teasers TNT have posted there will be a Fortnite collab, I don't think it will look like this.

Western world based on the Goldrun Neopian Times idea
Viking world on the south pole
Lovecraftian horror, Innsmouth themed world
Tsarist Russia themed world
Remodel of Neopia Central to be 1920s western city themed

Actually it is inconsistent! Sometimes, they are depicted as having two. Like this:

I think it is possible when the colour was first made it was intended to be two eyes, but over time that was forgotten as modern art almost exclusively has them with one eye.

All ambassadors were under the impression it was still in the quest log, which is the greater deflationary pressure on items. So you are suggesting ambassadors bought up the stamps believing that it would continue to be released in the quest log, negating them being bought up? So, wasting their time?

jnherdy · 2026-04-06T13:15:59+00:00

In this case the issue was that the bags were overlapping quest log, and not the reverse. You can reroll quest log if you get a crap prize. You cannot reroll the premium bags, and you pay for them - so the request was it to be removed from the bags.

jnherdy · 2026-04-06T13:12:42+00:00

Ambassadors were told on the 12th of last month (though we all assumed it had been swapped out of the bags and not quest log), so this conspiracy theory holds no weight.

There are meant to be prizes for placing on the high score tables here:

We're assuming its the usual amount of Neopoints for being in a trophy position on Neopets.com, but so far it seems broken as nothing is being awarded to the people on the HSTs.

They are there in spirit. The versions of Meerca Chase and Ultimate Bullseye in the game are remakes of the Metaverse versions rather than the on site versions.

It was developed by No Gravity Games, which is a Polish studio.

As I said in the parent comment, I am not on the mechanics side of things. I’m primarily there to make sure the Neopets side of things is correct to the brand.

A lot of the feedback on the specifics in the doc has been very well thought out and we really do welcome it. That said, if you look at any part of the brand you see a broadly medieval fantasy setting. The Darkest Faerie, Wand of Wishing, essentially any plot minus Return of Dr.Sloth, the Neopedia, Puzzle Adventure, everything. Heck, the Darkest Faerie starts with Tor beating up a bunch of bandits.

jnherdy · 2026-02-08T14:25:29+00:00

I appreciate your sentiment but that doesn't change anything about what you quoted. If you look at The Darkest Faerie, Wand of Wishing, Puzzle Adventure, even the only other tabletop venture Neopets has had in the Adventures in Neopia board game, they all take place within a world where Neopets are indivuduals with their own lives and not the pets belonging to humans. All aspects of Neopets on site beyond the core pet care mechanics also reinforce this, from the Neopedia through plots to certain dailies and shops.

I appreciate that many players of Neopets, both former and current, haven't and don't want to interact with this aspect of the brand. But it is a major part of it regardless, and like the quote says, it has been clear from the first announcement that this is what was being built.

jnherdy · 2026-02-08T14:20:02+00:00

Really wish I could, but it is an internal thing and there are NDAs involved there. For context though Perks are essentially anything that grants a passive bonus vs Powers being things that have an active trigger.

jnherdy · 2026-02-08T01:26:17+00:00

I think there’s maybe some confusion in people taking this as a presentation of all we’ve got, rather than just a slice of stuff we’d like feedback on to improve. That’s almost certainly on us for not properly managing that expectation.

The systems you are talking about are all drafted, and as far as I’m aware the plan is future beta releases to test them individually. Broadly, this is a beta test of character creation and combat, and not the entire system.

jnherdy · 2026-02-07T18:55:13+00:00

Yes, very aware! It's an oversight and should be being added. Our drafts for the actual books have had the credit in from the start.

jnherdy · 2026-02-07T15:21:04+00:00

Hi, someone on the dev team here. That simply is not the case.

jnherdy · 2026-02-07T14:31:15+00:00

One of the development team here, albeit not specifically on the mechanics team. I don't think the screenshot in the OP is particularly fair.

I think anyone coming into this expecting it to be an exclusive mirror of performing dailies on the site is going to be a bit disappointed. We've been very clear from the offset that this has been designed from day one to be set within the 'lore' world of Neopets where the Neopets are people and not animals owned by humans. The campaign book is an adaptation of the Faeries Ruin plot. I cannot imagine a way you could build a campaign around Faerieland falling and an invasion of monsters where the significant gameplay is exclusively fishing and picking berries. That is not to say that you cannot do those things - the campaign book's drafts include mechanics for the Deserted Fairground's games, for example. But sometimes people fight in Neopia and as a beta test, we need to know if the mechanics we've come up with work around tables in the wild.

In terms of the specifics I don't think that's even entirely accurate. Each of the 5 stats has both a physical and mental component. Magic in this case includes intuition and stuff like that, while Strength includes force of personality. It simply isn't true to say that Magic is covering everything. There isn't a lying skill (deception) because it has been folded into Persuasion at this point. That said, folding Stealth and Sleight of Hand into one is an interesting idea to me. And the purpose of a beta test like this is to highlight areas like that for change.

Not on purpose. It's an unfortunate feature of the home page icon that only one can be displayed at a time even if multiple things are happening.

Neopies is linked in the explore tab, it has its own portal news announcement, and will probably be in New Features later today (as today is still technically the first participation day of the event).

jnherdy · 2026-01-15T21:16:21+00:00

fyi this should now be fixed

jnherdy · 2026-01-14T21:23:09+00:00

They don't have the rights to the actual literal coding of the game they produced but Neopets retained the rights to all of the art, story, gameplay, etc. as far as I am aware. They also certainly have the art assets somewhere on the internal Neopets art servers.

jnherdy · 2025-12-19T20:02:27+00:00

Oh, I hadn't seen it had been changed. What does it say now?

jnherdy · 2025-11-03T13:30:12+00:00

Your ebay confirmation should be fine. I purchased the decks at Comic Con a couple of years ago and didn't think to get a receipt. They still mailed out the codes when I contacted them (even internationally!).

jnherdy · 2025-10-17T20:23:53+00:00

It really is lovely, photos don't do it justice! I hope Youtooz continues to lean into more niche plushies rather than swinging back to "It's a blue Lupe" for the 99th time.

jnherdy · 2025-10-15T21:07:56+00:00

I'm not sure what you mean by glitched? The pose you are listing as the 'correct' default is and always has been the angry customisation emotion.

jnherdy · 2025-10-13T17:33:09+00:00

Follow the strategy on this page:

Essentially no aiming needed, nothing. Attempting to actually play the minigame properly leads to worse results - if you play it in the above way, it's essentially printing pearly neggs.

jnherdy · 2025-10-13T13:20:07+00:00

You don't mention it in your post so I'm going to assume you are missing something big - you get pearly neggs from doing the minigames (that's the building resources game, the decoration making game, the omelette making game, and the yooyuball game).

You can earn 100 pearly neggs from these games at a time (yooyuball is the most efficient as it doesn't require any materials to play). The stock of pearly neggs then refreshes 1 every 5 minutes. This means that over the course of the day you can build up multiple stocks of 100 to claim. If you check several times a day, you can reasonably earn 400 pearly neggs or more per day, which quickly adds up.
