Neopets is a virtual world, where you can own pets, play games, discover new worlds, and so much more! I created this, which will be a working progress to explain Neopets to members who don't play it. If you have a question or suggestion you want to see in this guide please post or PM.
Chapter One: Navigate around Neo
Finding your way around the side can be a challenge, but here is the basics of getting around!

1. Neopets Main Logo, click to return to the homepage.
2. My Account, click to be taken to Control Panel, roll over to see options:
Control Panel, includes links to almost anything technical.
Edit Profile, includes fields to edit your user lookup, and change password.
Preferences, includes options like if you want people to be able to contact you and your site theme.
Neomail, Neopet's form of PMing, view inbox and send out Neomails (NM for sort)
Neofriends, a place to keep track of your NeoFriends, which are your buddies.
Create a Neopet, this is wear you can create a pet, name it, and choose your color. This is different from adopting a pet, this you only have 4 colors to choose from, yellow, blue, red, and green. More on adopting and pets later in the guide.
3. Pet Central, click to be taken to Pet Central Main, roll over to see options:
Main, this includes Neopets Media, the calendar, stats, daily puzzle, and a bit more.
Calendar, shows the full NeoYear, and all events/pet days scheduled. Neopets still has surprise events as well!
World Events, unlike the Calendar this features events that happen monthly, or randomly.
Neopian Pound, this is where you can adopt a pet, this includes any pet that has been disowned, they can be Limited-Editon and/or Painted. It's all about luck what you find here!
4. Explore, click to be taken to Map of Neopia, roll over to see options:
Map of Neopia, explore the world of Neopia, discover new lands, with different themes and games!
Weather, though this seems pointless you can see Weather for lands in Neopia, you could get avatars also! (see avatars in guide)
Pronunciation, confused how to say a Neopet word? This will help.
Neopidia, learn about a specific event/person/pet/etc!

Each year Neopets hosts the Altador Cup, this year (very shortly) they will be hosting the Altador Cup III. The Altador Cup is a torment between lands of Neopets, there are 16 teams that can compete, yet 17 lands, so that means one land gets the boot. This year it is Kiko Lake. I suggest you play in the ACIII, because there will always be GREAT prizes. The way it works is you choose a team, then you play games (these games include Yooyu Ball (the main game) and for the ACII we got to play two new games, who knows about this year) to score points for your team. Your team will go against the other teams and at the end of the tournament we will find out the results.

Second place trophy, ACII.
As the ACIII gets on it's way Dude's Guide to Neopets will be updated with the standings, and what's going on this year. Look for it to start around May 31st, running through June; until I get more info, that's all I have.
