18th August - Meerca Day!
* To get their special day off to a flying start, Meercas can now be painted Grey and Camouflage.
* Neopets in Hong Kong - We just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who came along. Both days were a huge success and we thoroughly enjoyed being there. Hopefully we will do something similar to this again soon.
* We have made a few changes to the Faerie Meerca so now it's wings should be in the right place
* You may remember Hermeedjet and Meerouladen from an old plot we ran a while back. Now you can have these little thieves as your desktop Background.
* There is a new Meerca Blog for your shops.
* Impress your friends with this rather snazzy new Meerca avatar!
* Purplepassiony2k has won this week's Neoadventure Spotlight award with their adventure - PWNed by the Lab!
The Scorchio invites you deeper into his lab. It's dark, damp and of course scary with the loud cracks of lightning! (Um, where did the lightning come from?) You walk slowly so your eyes will adjust, but you trip anyway and hit your head on a torch lamp. You reach up and feel your head; no big bump yet, but you feel really dizzy. "Why don't you just sit over here on this chair," the Scorchio chuckles, saying to you, "you won't feel thing!"
* There are pages and pages of Meerca themed pictures for you to admire in the Art Gallery.
* There are also four new Shopkeeper images for you to choose from.
* A new Lenny Conundrum competition has begun. The answer to last week's was Round 11. 946 people guessed the correct answer earning themselves 2,115 NP each.
* Feel like a change? Maybe you would like one of these new Buddy Icons...
* Today's Site Spotlight award is shared by trippinhun and floofeh_one for their super cool site - Trippinhun's Teahouse
* The Collectable Card Shop has a new card on sale featuring Meerouladen and Hermeedjet.
* How good are you at Tumac Roll? Maybe you could beat the latest Better Than You challenger?!?!
* If your Neopet loves reading, maybe you should treat them to one of these new Books.
* A new Random Contest has begun, and the winners of last week's have been announced.
* All Meercas who pay Captain Threelegs a visit today will receive free training. Isn't that nice
* This week's PPL award has been given to the Flosset. Well done Caelestis, Flomo, Lil Kiwi, Twinkle, Smiggles, Foofiepoo Puffkin and all the others.
* The latest Pirate Cave Of The Week award has been given to Neojbc with their level - Boxed Out.
* Last, but not least, there are two super rare Meerca-only Battledome Items.
^^^^vvvv^^^^vvvv^^^^vvvv^^^^vvvv
Note that, despite the early release of the news, Threelegs isn't yet giving out freebies to Meercas. Maybe after Neomidnight?

That's alot of updates for a day that just started 18 minutes ago. (At least, in my time. It's 12:18 AM.)
I'm only interested in the Random Contest, though. Gotta see those balloon neopets! :-D

Wow, early news ...didn't expect that. 
I don't really like any of the new Meerca colours ...
That update is nice though.

Bah, the two things I was looking forward to, random contest and art gallery, I didn't win. 
But my meerca on my side account is getting trained so that's cool I guess...
