April Fools' Day Guide

2002

Pant Devil

The prank played in 2002 was somewhat lackluster compared to those of other years... However, it still managed to cause an uproar amongst players on the site. People logged in to their accounts on April 1st to find that the pesky Pant Devil had helped himself to the contents of their inventory and Safety Deposit Box:

The Pant Devil has struck again - doh! He has chosen a select few people on the site and totally stolen all their items.... if it's happened to you, why not get some revenge in the Battledome!!!

Calm was restored later in the day when TNT revealed in the news that the whole thing had been a hoax:

UPDATE : Ok we were joking, but what did you expect... it is the 1st of April :)

From New Features, April 1, 2002

Neopians got their items back and everybody was happy again—everybody except the Pant Devil, that is, who had the stuffing knocked out of him in the Battledome more than a few times by hoards of players who were angry that he'd swiped their precious possessions. :P
