hi im a returning neopets player after maybe ~8 years at minimum based on a rough estimate. im currently starting entirely fresh on a new account and was wondering what has changed/been added/removed. anything major? anything surprising?

i wasnt ever too into trading and selling things, i just enjoyed getting the cool brushes because child me was far too obsessed with painting everything. (personal favorite was plushie paintbrush!)
i played more often in the summer time and i remember some sort of websitewide tournament?? i wanted to say maraquan games or something like that but my brain is blanking.

would love a tl;dr or any sort of info for a new old player whos a bit lost now! (ive taken a look at the guides section)
