An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Throughout the game, random events happen. These come in two forms - option and forced. Option events let you decide what course of action to take, ending up with different results and an alignment sway. Forced events are events that happen and you have no control, such as xenophobia, or depression. Please note the stated bonuses/maluse of events are maximum values the event can generate. Usually they are somewhere between 1 and the number. However the higher the number, the bigger impact will it have to your alignment sway. See also: Mega Events

  • Sometimes you'll get a note at the top of a Neopets page that "something has happened". These random events (RE's) can result in a change of status for your pet, the opportunity to perform a faerie quest, and the gain/loss of a new item or neopoints. You can affect the chances of some random events, and others will only occur under certain circumstances. For instance, you will only get the Soup Faerie avatar when you visit her and get food, but it's considered random. You may have to go back multiple times before the RE occurs.
  • In order to keep players from being complacent, matches from becoming repetitive, and to better simulate the vagaries of fortune, some video games include Random Events. The chaotic relative of the Scripted Event, Random Events are things that can happen, but where, when, or if they will happen are determined purely by chance. In video game parlance they're called "procs" (short for "special procedures", originally referring to the chunks of code that ran in MUDs when these events occurred), especially when they're attributes of an item that activate randomly when the item is used, but Random Events can also pop up in board games in the form of "chance" decks and the like.

Players' reactions to these usually depend on whether the events in question are beneficial or not. See Random Encounters for an RPG subtype. If the event appears random, but is actually triggered by an action that might not be immediately obvious, see Guide Dang It. Examples of Random Event include:

Random events can often be unpleasant, resulting in the loss of inventory items or neopoints. It is thus unwise to keep valuable items in your inventory, and you should put extra neopoints in the bank as quickly as possible - But be warned! Sometimes if you do not have enough neopoints to pay, your balance will drop into the negatives! Random Events happen all around Neopia. They can either help you, hurt you, scare you, or just amuse you.
