Its that time of year again when things are afoot in Biala! We've had our elves standing over the advent newths bribing them with fresh fish to make sure they work hard and as a result we are pleased to announce that the Advent Calendar is now open!

You can visit the calendar once a day all through December to claim a free gift - it could be an advent item, some mp, or another prize. The prize changes every day, so make sure you don't miss out!

Please remember that you are only allowed ONE account on marapets! We have a zero-tolerance policy on advent cheating and anyone caught using more than one account to collect advent prizes will have ALL their accounts banned immediately with no hope of getting them back. This includes accounts made for imaginary brothers and sisters and pet dogs etc.
If more than one member of your family genuinely plays marapets then it is fine for you all to use the advent calendar, but you shouldn't give the prizes to each other.

UPDATE
Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Laimay was sick a few days before Halloween which meant that a few things were missing for the Halloween Events to start on time. By the time I received them, I got sick and spent the week in bed! To make things worse, the Shop Search and Gallery Search completely crashed and showed up a lot of potential problems we could run into with it in the future. It took a lot of time to fix, but the good news is that they both now work perfectly and will not have this same problem again! As we prepared most of the Halloween Events before all this happened, it will be a shame to not use them so we WILL carry on with the events, even though Halloween is a distant memory to most of you now. But who cares? It'll still be lots of fun! And we promise, Christmas Events will be better AND on time.

These 4 new Devil pets have just been released.
