If they release a plot with NC all they would have to do is release wearables/backgrounds/etc. related to the two opposing sides.
What would you like to see updated?

I think they should scrap the auction house completely and get rid of the price limits in user stores. Make it so you can buy anything up to 999 million NP in the stores. Keep the trading post but make it just be for item-item trades. If black-market neopoints trading is a concern, then have the system flag weird transactions or whatever. Trying to trade items on the TP is the worst, so many things are unpriced and haggling is annoying. They also need buy orders-- sort of a backwards store, you post neopoints that can be bought with an item, so if you're looking for a certain rare item that isn't listed, someone can find your buy order and immediately find a buyer.
They should stop flooding their own databases with useless items. It drives me crazy when there's four rows of multiple-count, negative profit items in a store and it'll never restock. I think they should use their employment agency system (keeps tabs on the average price of items on the SW) to block certain items from restocking if the market is flooded with them. Keep restocks of the more valuable items at a manageable frequency and volume still, but don't block the restocks with these useless items.
Should be able to toggle between a customizable and a non-customizable (UC/old) version of every pet. (Heck, if neopets was my site, there would be a slider bar that lets you toggle between every version of a pet, including the shitty old ones. Why not.) UC pets are overwhelmingly valuable not just because of their rarity, but because they look good, look DIFFERENT, and aren't stuck in terrible forced poses. Some of the most expensive colors (ignoring the newest ones, like water/eventide/wraith) are maraquan and mutant because for many pets these colors mean a non-standard pose.
Bipedal pets should also have a "relaxed" pose normally, and the outstretched hand-on-the-right ONLY IF THEY'RE ACTUALLY HOLDING SOMETHING. This is doubly annoying when you're talking about a mutant pet who isn't allowed to hold anything anyway.
I'd like to see better thought-out wearables as well-- I've been making, painting, and dressing up pets with my ill-gotten gains and as I've looked through the different outfits it's painfully obvious to me that for some of them, they make up the outfit first, and THEN choose which pet to give it to, against all logic. Why else would there be so many quadrupedal pets with accessories they can't hold? There are also a lot of wearables, especially non-species restricted ones, that are glitchy and don't sit well on the pet.
They also should really be less crazy about multiple accounts, especially for dailies; the amount of money you can win from them is so piddlingly small that you would probably be losing money (as opportunity cost) clicking through them every day on multiple accounts. Or at least I've never won anything good in all my years playing neopets.

I think the next thing they need to work on is UC pet value. It's getting out of hand, and they already did draiks/krawks, so they need to do something, no clue what, to regulate UC's a bit better.
Also, they need to fix the glitches, and make the flash games easier to use on an old computer, such as mine.
As for things that would be cool, is focusing more on new pets, colours, etc. C:

The other thing I forgot is that I think there should be personal trophies/achievements as well as site trophies. Right now there are a mix of both: the "easy' trophies are personal trophies, where you get a trophy for x accomplishment against the computer (beating punchbag bob, cheat, cellblock) and the hard ones have you in competition with everyone else on the site. I think that there should be personal trophies/achievements for everything (e.g. get a grand master score on 1 game, 5 games, 100 games etc.) as well as site trophies.
This would also make it attractive to people to, say, read books or eat gourmet foods if there's a personal trophy in it for them; as it is, trying to make it to the high score boards is a billion-neopoint endeavour. Same with collecting stamps, cards, etc. Put in some nice easy little trophies for reading 100 books/eating 100 gourmet foods/etc. to get people doing them.

I think if neopets made a plot or something based around neocash to a point where people are at a serious disadvantage for not purchasing it, that would be crossing a line. However, if it was like with AAA's challenges, where you can still get something, but if you pay to challenge Lulu you get a NC payout, then that's fine.
But I agree with the shops idea. The 99k limit is a serious issue and things like trade scams and stuff could be solved so easily with a new shop limit. I wonder why TNT won't do it. Maybe because it will make the trading post and auction house obsolete.

If I could see anything, I'd see NQIII. Maybe in a style/in flash mode, somehow similar to adventure quest? I like the style and the play of that, I just have no reason to pay it.
Remove the 800k limit on trades. New avvies. I want a plot to take part in, and I'd like a war.

Thank you. Took the words right out of my mouth.^Those are the type of games I like playing. None of this flash crap... If I want a game to paly for fun (let's face it, we don't play for the 2k np you can earn), they're competing with XBox360, PS3, and World of Warcraft. It's a losing strategy.
