Are you back to Neopets due to complete boredom or because something is going on right now with the world situation that demands you to #StayHome?
You don't know anything since you left 10 years ago after you encountered our lovely ""helpful"" Tony P in the support system to have back your account or you just got bored of the game?
Many things have changed, many stuff have remained the same but at the end of the day this game keeps dragging us back
I'm going to try my best to cover all the questions you might have about what has been going on Neopets in this guide and provide many useful links to make your stay on Neopets enjoyable! -- Feel free to let me know if you don't see something here that you find useful for a returning player

- Note when your pets' birthdays are! You can choose to collect 1 out of 3 cupcakes on their birthday that increases your pet's stats. The Blue, Pink, or Yellow Cupcake (+Def, +HP, and +Str respectively).

The reason to participate in the BD is that it gives you goodies like Tan/Red Codestones, Neocola Tokens, Armoured Neggs, and even Nerkmids (if premium) that you can sell for profit.

Others:
These events are not yearly. They are not at the same time of year when it does show up. There has never been any indication that it's now going to be annual or on any kind of regular schedule at all. Mainly these events are attached to TNT predisposition to do it, meaning you just have to keep an eye on the news or the event coverage (If apply) posted below.
Thanks @(you need an account to see links)!
- Daily Dare
This event was expected to go on live between the month of March and May but last year it started on July 31st at exactly 6:30am NST.
- That is up to you to decide and how active you are going to be on Neopets to make the most out of it. There are incentives such as Super Shop Wizard (SSW), if you are a prominent restocker, Species Change Perk (once every 365 days upon first use) that allows you to obtain nearly every converted colored species (no Draiks and Krawks) including the rare Ice Bori, and more. Check out (you need an account to see links) on that.
- A pro tip is that if you're looking to buy a yearly membership wait for the Neopets Premium Sale which usually takes place in August. During that time the yearly membership rate of $69.95 is on sale for $49.95, a savings of $20 off for the year.
