Random Events

Editorial Answers

Unfair!!! When my friend and I got a Random Event on the account we share we were delighted! One of our Neopets got zapped by Boochi and we loved it. But then we were feeding the baby Neopet glowing jelly and our baby Neopet turned glowing! Please make a warning or something for other innocent users like myself and my friend. (This is unfair because we never knew that this could happen.) Thanx TNT u rock! ~[username removed]

1. ) Please self-ice the shared account and save us the trouble of freezing you, thanks.
2. ) You got randomly zapped by Boochi and then got it randomly taken away. The circle of Neo-life is complete.
3. ) Please meditate on your ideas behind the concept of "unfair" further. (Issue 310)

I know that "Random Events" are just a part of Neopets, but there are some very unlucky people who... buy a baby paint brush and then have it stolen on the next page. Could you guys maybe give us an option when buying items to immediately place them in our Safety Deposit Box? Like a "Buy and place in Safety Deposit Box" feature, if you don't get what I mean... you know how there's an option to add an item to your shop and be redirected to your shop? It would be like that, except the item would be purchased instead of placed in a shop and it would be taken to the Safety Deposit Box instead of you being redirected. If you can't do this, please explain why. Also, it's really annoying that we can have Neopoints stolen from us when we have no Neopoints. I mean, over time, stolen Neopoints build up. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of the bank being there to protect our Neopoints? Because, when we have x amount of negative Neopoints, x amount of Neopoints disappears when we get x amount of Neopoints. ~purplelemonade

• Sorry, but Random Events and the dangers and gifts they bestow are all part of the game. If you know you'll be purchasing an item of great value, we suggest making sure you have a lot of items on hand to reduce the chances of losing that item to an unfortunate RE. Negative REs bring balance to the force-- erm, economy, by helping to offset inflation. (Issue 310)

In my haste to get through all the daily spots when I log on, I totally missed the Random Event that changed my Neopet to baby. Is there a way to go back and see what the event said? I tried hitting the back button but the Random Event was gone. Also, is there a way to undo it? I was rather fond of my grown-up Neopet... thanks! ~shroom26

• A couple of us have had the same thing happen. D: That darn Boochi. We often get questions sent to the Editorial regarding people wondering how on earth they got a paint brush or transmogrification potion in their inventory. Basically they just missed seeing the event which you realised must have happened. We're sorry to say, though, that Boochi's evil act can't be undone. :( Hope it wasn't an expensive colour. :X (And by "undone" we mean there is no "undo" button for it. Your Neopet can still be painted whatever colour you like.) (Issue 308)
