Character Week Just Started!!
We have just started Character Week. As promised, we'll have a whole week dedicated to Characters. This will include the release of shoes, jewellery, new hair styles, new clothes and lots more related to characters!

We have changed the Forums and News Comments. It now shows your character when you post. We hope you like the changes.

We have some new Disco Pants for male characters restocking.

In other news, can you find this Sword Avatar?

The Forums have had many changes. We reorganised everything so that every type of topic that is allowed to be posted has its own forum. With the amount of players online recently, our old forums were becoming too crowded and difficult to follow topics. You can also add your favourite topics to a list which is easily accessible. There is also links to your latest posts and topics at the top of every forum so that you can easily follow topics you are chatting on. We hope you appreciate the changes, even if it takes a while to get used to them!

There are some new Checkered Dresses restocking at the female clothing shop.

The Editorial for this week has just been released.

We have just added a new flash Game for you to play. Rofling Gold can now be played 3 times a day with a maximum payout of 1,500MP per game. This will be out last week without 2 new games being released. From next week, we should hopefully have a new game released every Wednesday and Saturday.

Its taken a long time to bring back but Gallery Ordering is back. It was really difficult to bring it back without it causing unnecessary strain on the servers because of the large collections of items some members actually have. We're pleased to announce that it is back and its here to stay. You can now order your Gallery exactly how you want, or it will be the default of alphabetical.

We have a lot of missing Minipets Hidden Avatars for you to collect.

We're added Browse Attic so that you can view only specific groups of your items. We hope you find it really useful.

Some new prizes have been added to the Referral Contest. You can now get a White Checkered Dress, White Disco Pants or a Black Disco Shirt. These will retire when the contest is over. We will also be giving away one Ercuw Potion and 25,000MP to the top 10 referrers, as well as randomly for each referral you receive.

The Awards are now being given to those who have referred 25 or more people.

September is now here and it will be another very busy month for us. As planned, August was a month of repair, maintenance and revamping most of the site. We have completed all of our aims for August and also released a lot more than we had originally planned for, however the Plot has been delayed by about a week and the first installment should start next weekend. August saw our traffic rank increase by 12,000+ places and we've also had the most amount of players online for any month this month - with the user count reaching over 1,700 at one point. We hope that this month we can return to 2 new games a week, release new content for Lush Lake, release the upstairs of Baspinar's Castle, bring back Highscore tables and release lots more content for all of the other worlds. Our main aims for this month is to have lots of Character, Marahome and Battle related news too. We also want September to be the first month without any major delays with releasing new content, downtime or errors/glitches. September shall be another great month for us and we hope to see you all here in October!

The September Account Upgrades have just been released. This month we've decided to have a Funky theme! We've also not released a Bronze or Silver upgrade set for this month. Here is some of the great prizes you can receive...

Marapets Dying has been activated again. If you neglect your pet, you may randomly get a warning pop up on the page as a random event telling you that you have 7 days to cure your pet. After these 7 days, your pet will die and go to the Gates of the Graveyard, a new place just added to Undying Woods. You have two weeks from your pet dying to save your pet for the last time, before it goes to the Graveyard and becomes a Zombie, where *ANY* player can adopt the pet. At the Gates of the Graveyard, it will cost you 50,000MP to save a pet as a Zombie and 75,000MP to save the pet unchanged.

The Undying Woods map is the latest world to receive an update. We have moved the Book Shop to Dukka Caves.

The Zombie Sindi, Oglue and Kronk have also been released now.

You can be frozen for gaining access at a younger age than this and please do not try, you will not be refunded.

We've been working on fixing Account Upgrades so that they work instantly for everyone. We have done a few tests with users that did not receive them instantly before and it seems to be working for them now. From now on when you upgrade you should receive it in seconds. If you payment is not an instant payment and needs to clear, it will take until it clears. If you do not receive credits in seconds, you should write to marapets@gmail.com and from today, replies should be within 2 working days. If you have emailed us within the past two weeks and have yet to receive a reply, we are currently working quickly to give you a reply within the next couple of days. If you are missing account upgrade credit and have not emailed us, please do so now, giving full details of your payment. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and from today our Account Upgrades system should be a lot easier and faster for you.

It has been a while since we released a new Avatar. To make up for it, we've hidden 9 new ones. And yes, they have been activated =D

Homes can now break again, making tools useful again. Some of you may now not have access to your homes or attics because your house broke down several months ago, when it was broken but random events were still working. You will need to fix it with the proper tool.

There are a few Random Events now. More will be added soon, but right now your house can break down, you can gain MP, RP or BP, you can lose MP, RP or BP, you can find items and lose items in your inventory, your pets can gain stats and school stats, you can find Dukka Coins, Crystals, Diamonds, fruit (if you are lucky, maybe a Glowing Strawberry Egg), you can be promoted in your Job, the Avatar Stamp, you can get electricity bills and Purple DNA.

We have just released the Toolbox. Several people found in the past that when their house broke down, their tools were stuck in their Attic. Now you can store your tools in your Toolbox instead so you can get to them when you need them.

The Editorial for this week has just been released.

We have completely changed the way Restocks work. Shops which restock items needed more often than other items restock more often. This should make the School Supplies and Chocolate restock more often, fixing the School and Candy Tree quests.

We have changed Jobs. Wages are now three times higher, meaning that you can easily get 100-250MP per pet, per day just for having a good job!

There are four new Jobs that your pet can have!

REFERRAL CONTEST
We have just started another Referral Contest to boost the Maradan population and see if we can reach 1 million players a little quicker. The referrals have now been fixed, so you can now refer new people with your referral link and get the referral prizes. But for the next couple of weeks, you will also get a free prize with *EVERY* referral you get from now. Prizes include Account Upgrade credit, MP (up to 1,000,000MP can be won), a Rotten CD, Rainbow wallpaper, blue/green/yellow/red Ercuw Potions, Gumball Machine Stamp, Virgo star and other cool prizes. All those who can refer over 25 new members during the referral contest will also receive a shiny new trophy for their inventory! The cd, stamp, star and wallpaper will retire after this contest and will not be avaliable again! For more information about the Referral System please click here.

The Aquarium has just been released in Jenoa! The Maradan University uses the Aquarium regularly for its research and in return, free scholarships are being offered to lucky visitors of the Aquarium if they feed the fish. The Aquarium fish minipets can only eat worms. These worms can only come from the fertile soils of Gigantic Paradise. Whenever these fish are hungry, it will say underneath the fish what worm they would like to eat. If you are quick enough to feed the fish, you will be rewarded.

NEW WORLD
A new world has been discovered in Marada! Lush Lake is where every marapet dreams to have a holiday at - but only a few can afford to! Lush Lake has fun-filled attractions and entertainment and is based in a relaxing and peaceful part of Marada. Some areas of the map are labelled but unreleased - these will be released over the next couple of weeks.

NEW FEATURE
We have just released Photo Albums. You can take a photo of your pet at the Photo Parlour in Lush Lake for 1,500MP once every 12 hours. You can then trade/sell the photo item or add it to your photo album! There is currently 15 photos for you to collect.

Tree Hugging Party Won

The Election is now over. The Tree Hugging party won with 6,713 votes! The Easy Money party came second with 4,390 votes and the Snobbish Party came last with only 2,169 votes. The voting has now ended and a new election with a new manifesto for each party will begin later today/tomorrow. The following changes have now happened on the site:

You can now only disown one pet every 24 hours.

The fee to disown a pet has changed from 5,000MP to only 500MP.

In a few months, the Sindi will return to Account Upgrades.

You now get 60MP per post or topic on the forums, instead of 50MP.

The portal and whirlpool now change the colour of your pet more often.

We will have a whole week dedicated to Characters. Character week should begin sometime this week and will have character news daily for 7 days.

And finally, our new Plot will begin before August ends. This will lead to a war and the dark side's castle. As the Easy Money party came very close to winning we have decided that Lush Lake will also be released.
