The Arinya, Gizmo, Huthiq, Jessup, Quell, Raulf, Straya, Sybri, Tantua, Tasi, Viotto, Vixen and Zetlian can now wear the Lava Costume. Remember, the Lava Account Upgrade retires in less than a week!

We have relaunched one of the oldest games on the site. The Test Your Strength game has brand new artwork and there are new prizes to be won!

We have changed the way that future Account Upgrades are released, starting with the newest Spring Set. These are no longer called 'Gold Account Upgrades', a name which made sense 10 years ago when we still had Bronze and Silver Account Upgrades. They are now called 'Account Upgrade Sets' named after the Costume that it comes with. Each set will come with a choice of either an Enchanted Plushie or a Potion.

There is still a 1 in 3 chance you will receive a limited edition pet with each set but from now, there will be many more non-limited edition pets available as the other prize, rather than just one item. If you purchase three of the same Account Upgrade set, you are still guaranteed at least one limited edition pet. For example, if you purchased 2 Spring Sets and received a non-limited edition Enchanted Plushie or Potion for each set, the 3rd Spring Set you purchase will be guaranteed either an Enchanted Spring Lati Plushie or Spring Lati Potion. Just as before, this guarantee is only for the first three of each set you purchase.

A new Spring Account Upgrade Set has been released, with 7 new Spring themed items, a Spring Costume (retired since June 2013) and either a Spring Enchanted Plushie or Spring Potion. This set is on sale until June 30th. You can choose if you would like the main prize to be an Enchanted Spring Plushie or Potion. There is 1 in 3 chance you will receive a limited edition Lati instead of Azul, Crindol, Equilor, Fasoro or Knutt.





The Azul, Crindol, Equilor, Lati, Lorius and Straya can now wear the Spring Costume.

We have listened to recent feedback about old, retired Treasure Maps and have changed the way they are going to be re-released. Instead of releasing them along with revamped costumes as an Account Upgrade set, they will instead all be added to the Account Upgrades Shop, starting with random pieces of the Unnecessary Perfection Instructions, Foxfire Pond Treasure Map and Kamilah Pyramid Treasure Maps. These automatically retire from the Account Upgrades Shop after 30 days and will be replaced, automatically, by 3 random, different Treasure Maps. There are 16 different maps, instructions or passes that will rotate automatically.


Never forget to complete a mission or play a game again with our new Notification system! If you visit our Free Games, Points to Play Games and Pet Dailies sections you now have the option to select which features you would like to receive reminders or notifications for.

If selected, you will be notified whenever you can play a game again, buy a newspaper or magazine again, when a pet has finished training and more! There is an option on the Missions page to be notified whenever you can start a new mission and reminded to finish one you have started. Banks also have an option to receive reminders to collect interest and your shop till has the option to be alerted every time someone buys an item from your shop.

If you do not want these notifications, you can untick all of the options to turn it all off and whenever you want a reminder for a certain feature, you can turn it on again. Please note that mission levels with less than 15 minutes remaining will have a notification on every page for all players to make sure you do not fail by mistake and this feature cannot be switched off.


The Shops page has been updated with a new layout, new icons for each different currency and a countdown until the next restock of new stock for each shop. The countdown has also been added to each shop.

Goals also has an upgraded page with more information, the Progress Goals and everything else that is possibly related to goals. If you are a high enough level, you will be given information about how many players are currently a higher level than you. There are also new random events to encourage players to complete their Progress Goals, as there will be lots more special bonuses, features and rewards in the future for higher level players.

Thousands of items that had wrong or missing information on Price Check have been updated, including all the different colours of each Minipet that now link to the Minipet Colours section.


The Mission page has new links to the Peasant Fairy and Monthly Mission Contest, more information about the Magic Carpet and Beanstalk and if a treasure map needs to be collected to use a mission, it will now tell you this.

Some of the oldest Countdown Timers around the site have been updated. There will be no more 710 Minutes! Instead it will say 11 hours and 50 minutes.

The Editorial also has had many new features, fixes and site tweaks that I have not listed here. There will also be many more answered soon.

And finally, the Quest page has a cleaner design and brand new countdown timers for each and every quest. If a quest requires a treasure map to access, this page also now tells you about it.

We're pleased to announce that our Server Maintenance was completed yesterday without any downtime and was a success. You may remember that on March 23rd we wrote in the news about the new load balancer. Back then we had hoped for it to be completed and live by March 25th but as usual, things don't always go as planned and it took an extra month of work and testing to be sure it worked correctly.

For those who would like to know more about what the changes mean, I will try to explain:

Before yesterday, Marapets had 24 different servers that load the PHP scripts and generate all of the pages that you visit around the site. Whenever you visited a page, one of these would be picked at random and you would be sent to a random one. This worked OK, but not great. Random is random and it would send too many people to one server and less to another. It also didn't know the diference between a CPU intensive page and a basic page, so some servers could be getting lots more load while others are sitting idle.

We now have 63 different servers that run our PHP scripts - nearly 3 times as much as before! And we also have a brand new, very smart Load Balancer that makes sure that each time you load a page on Marapets, you are always sent to the server which has the lowest load! You should notice that Marapets is running faster and smoother than ever before and will continue to do so at all times of the day, no matter how many players are online.

Marapets has had 100.00% uptime performance so far for the whole of 2019 and we are constantly working to make sure this remains. Thank you for all of the Account Upgrade buyers who have helped us to manage this!

Our servers are located in Canada and our players in North America currently have a slightly better experience than our players in the rest of the world. Our next planned upgrade - which we hope to manage later this year - will be to improve the speed of our network for players outside of North America.

The Photo Parlour in Lush Lake has been improved and has brand new artwork. Staff also have a new system in place now where they can upload and release new photos and plates to the site without my help. From now on, when a new pet colour or minipet is added to the site, staff will aim to have their photos and plates added to the site later the same day. There may still be times when they are added a little later that that - so it is not a guarantee - but it will still be much faster than before!

All Lava, Easter, Genie & Jinn pets will receive FREE TRAINING at the Gym and Elite Gym until May 10th.

And all Lava, Easter, Genie & Jinn pets will receive FREE LESSONS at the School until May 10th.
