VirtuPets Space Station...like no place on earth. or Return to the world map

Welcome to VirtuPets Battle Station #4, currently in orbit around the world of Neopia. Please enjoy your stay. Emergency exits are located around the ship in all major corridors. We don't know what happened to Stations 1, 2, or 3...

The VirtuPets Space Station was originally run by Dr. Sloth, the resident Bad Guy.

He made his first appearance in August 2000 when he attempted to take over Neopia. He was overthrown, and the Space Station is now a friendly place for buying/selling or just grabbing a quick bite to eat. Below is the teaser they ran for it:

Neopia's Moon, Kreludor, has also been discovered. It seems it was hidden behind the Space station. Click the banner to tour Kreludor! Pet JC to tour the Haunted Woods.

Grundo Warehouse

Neopets is now selling merchandise in the “real world” in the form of plushies, stickers, note pads, etc. at stores across America. Many of these products have the coveted “Rare Item Codes” that may be redeemed at the Grundo Warehouse for random prizes. These codes are single use items, like paint brushes or books…meaning once they are used, nobody else can get anything with them.

To get a code, you first need to find a store that sells the neopets merchandise. Use the handy Store Locator Map to find the one closest to you. Find one? Good…next step, go to that store and buy at least one item that has the seal: RARE ITEM CODE INSIDE. (Note that plushies do not have these codes because there was no way to secure them.)

For the sake of discussion, we’ll buy a note pad. Now, rush home and take over the computer. Naturally, since your homepage is set to http://www.neopets.com/ all you will need to do is login and come here to the Grundo Warehouse. Open your note pad and find the rare item code. On a note pad, it’s inside the front cover. Carefully type the code into the box, and be sure to include the “ – “. Congratulations, you are now the proud owner of a Massive White Aisha Cake, Chia Comb, or other fine rare item.

On a sad note, I’ve seen some less than honest users offering to sell/trade these codes. Please remember that these codes are single use items. What they don't tell you is they've probably already used the code and thus have rendered it useless to you. You may be giving away valuable items for nothing. I suggest being patient, Neopets will soon have more places to buy merchandise and then you will be able to get a Rare Item Code that you know has not been used.

Keep in mind that real items may be sold on online auction sites, you are not allowed to sell the strictly virtual items. Here is what the News Page said on October 4, 2002: We have noticed some people selling Neopoints on various auction sites. This is absolutely, completely, utterly, and beyond a shadow of a doubt against the rules. Anybody who buys or sells Neopoints for real money will have all their accounts frozen. Sorry about that, but it just prompts people to cheat others to sell their stuff, and therefore we have chosen to ban it. And this was posted in the Editorial for week 57 of the Neopian Times: Note from the editor Before I start I just want to remind everyone that selling accounts, Neopets or Neopoints on any Auction site is not allowed. If you have bought a plushie, notebook, stickers ect from a shop that is fine, but you can't auction virtual things as that is against our Terms and Conditions.

Space Armour

Before you take on an oponent in the Space Arena for the Battledome, be sure to stock up on some of these handy defense items. Some are specially made for certain pets, while others can be used by any pets. Be sure to read the instructions before using.

Space Weapons

Don't be fooled by his cute looks. This master salesman stocks his shop with powerful Battledome weapons that pack a mighty punch...or sometimes just leave your oponent laughing so you can get in another attack. Be sure the safety is engaged before you examine anything too closely.

Grundo's Cafe

After Gargarox Isafuhlarg was freed from Dr. Sloth, this mutant Grundo decided to go back to what he loves most in life: making bizarre new recipes and playing Gormball. This innovative, hard working cook will mix anything together...literally. He brought Spotted Pudding, Beef Rouladen and Scrambled Eggs A La King to Neopia, along with some of his less popular dishes. If you are feeling adventurous, you can sample some of Gargarox's delights at his cosy little shop on the VirtuPets Space Station.

The RoboPet Shop

Looking for an extra special petpet for your pet? Why not try a robot? They are clean, programmable, easy to maintain, and run on batteries. These are great for the pet that's never had the responsibility of taking care of a petpet before.

Adopt a Grundo

This cute little fellow is a Grundo. Dr. Sloth captured the Grundos to serve as his slaves. You can adopt one and take him home. I assure you that all his papers are in order. Make sure you feed them regularly and never ever get them wet...

Space Battledome Arena

Not for the faint of heart. Behind these doors is an arena for the bravest strongest pets to face off. Like most areas of Neopia, the space station has it's own Battledome Arena. Some of these Challengers can be quite a handful.

Robo Grarrl		This mechanical menace will make you regret all the times you kicked that vending machine or trod on your little sisters Robo Aisha!!!
Space Faerie		The Space Faerie has been honing her skills ever since the defeat of Dr. Sloth, and she hopes to win and carry home the grand prize!

Evil Fuzzles from Beyond the Stars

In this game, you play Zygorax, Third class maintenance worker (waste disposal). Working in the shadows of Zyrolon, the famous Grundo first class technician, Zygorax has spent the majority of his career managing the space station's waste (i.e. Neocola cans, Juppie stalks, Gargapple cores and other things that Neopians so carelessly throw away) while trying to work his up the intergalactic ladder. Now, however, he has bigger problems...

Hop inside your X-Scrub 4000 Walker Bot and patrol the outside of the space station, looking for mutant fuzzles. Be sure to get them before they get you.

Lever of Doom

There's a strange lever sticking out of the space station wall, with a sign that reads, 'DO NOT PULL'. So you probably shouldn't pull the lever. You can if you want. But you shouldn't. JC, don't touch anything.

What? Why are you looking at me like that? Perhaps we should move along...

JC pulls the Lever of Doom

Oh no!! An evil mechanical hand emerges from a panel and steals 100 Neopoints from you!!

Splat a Sloth

For obvious reasons, Dr. Sloth is not very popular with the Grundos. Two mischievious Grundos in the Space Station have set up a game in honor of his defeat. They created a sock puppet that looks remarkably like Sloth which will come firing out the end of their tube, and its your job to hit him with a rolled up copy of the Neopian Times.

Gormball

This game is similar to the party game "hot potato". The goal is to not have the water balloon when it explodes. To play, first decide what character you wish to be. When the water balloon is tossed to you, you get to decide how long to hold it before tossing it to someone else. If you hold it too long, it will pop and you'll be drenched.

These are the characters you can choose:

	Thyassa the Chia He may seem cute, and playful, but he is nothing of the sort. Thyassa is the most devious clever Gormball player ever on the face of Neopia. Ranked #1 in the world, and undefeated in all major championships. This Chia is one to be reckoned with!
	Brian the Scorchio Brian has been known to cheat... just watch him, his eyebrows start to twitch when he is thinking of new ways to win unfairly! Currently ranked #41 in the world, he bears the shame of being kicked out of last worlds Gormball championships for using a rigged ball!
	Grundo Chef When he isnt compacting lovely gourmet food into easy to swallow nutrient pills, Grundo Chef loves to play Gormball. His cafe 'Grundos' supplies all the catering for major championships.
	Alien Aisha From a long long way away (a REALLY long way), the Alien Aishas have landed and set up shop in Neopia. Their aim - to sell their special food to please all the pets of Neopia. Did I mention that they use their interstellar powers to play a mean game of Gormball? Six ears are certainly better than two, for they use their extra sensory hearing to judge just exactly when that ball is going to blow...
	Fire Faerie All the other faeries mocked her when she said she wanted to compete in the Annual Gormball Championships, but the Fire Faerie didnt care. What did those silly girls know anyway? Blessing pets, casting spells, all that is BOOOORING! She has her mind focused on the task, nothing can distract her... the championship will be hers!
	Cool Grundo Well, hey, you know... its Gormball isnt it, easy... piece of cake. Its not the winning or the losing that I care about, its just taking part, oh... and winning all those magical items :)
	Ursula Usul For six years I have been alone now, training at the top of Mount Usalin. I have reached the pinnacle of my studies and now nobody can defeat me. For me, Gormball is the point of existence, it flows through me, into my veins, binding me together. My studies will pay off, oh yes, there will be only one winner this year... Ursula Usul.
	Kevin the Korbat Kevin has stepped in at the last minute, replacing Dr. Sloth who had to ... erm.. do something elsewhere. He isnt that good, but he is a great learner!

Ahhhh, we're in luck. They are playing a round now:

NeopetVersion2

(click screen to play introductory movie)

In November 2001, we learned that all was not well on the Space Station. In an old deserted room in the bowels of the Virtupets Space Station, a disused computer monitor has suddenly just turned itself on. Yes, NV2 was online...and it wanted friends.

While Billy and Sarah Usul were enjoying a holiday at the Space Station, they met two new friends while eating lunch at Grundo's cafe, a Kyrii called Karai, and a Gelert called Helena. After lunch, they decided to head back to their rooms to play a few video games. They hopped on the next virtulift still discussing their favorite games, not realizing that someone else was listening in on their chat...until the lift stopped.

Yes, they were trapped. Neopet v2 had found its new friends, and it was never, EVER going to let them go. Billy slammed the emergency key, and although alarm bells were ringing in the station above, the virtulift would not move. Neopet v2 was in control.

The object of this contest was to solve the clues and puzzles to free the four trapped in the virtulift. It was a very challenging contest with lots of false leads and dead ends. In the end, of course, the four friends are released and Neopet v2 is deactivated. If you want to see the full story, click here. To see the solution to all the madness, click here.
