26th Feb 2020 13:44 HEATWAVE
It's officially a week since the Heatwave hit Marada and there is no end in sight. Elfember is in less than 18 days and with the elves not making any new Toys, there is talk of having to cancel all Christmas events this year! In the meantime, the Toy Shop still has to make an income, so it is now restocking 63 different Twigs that they had in storage, waiting to be made into toys.
We're now in day 5 of Heat Wave and the Biala Mountain economy is starting to struggle. To adapt to the new weather, the Frozen Food Shop is now restocking 8 new Melted Frozen Food gourmet food items.
Turns out the Kamilah Desert isn't totally coping with the extreme heat. All of the Candle Shop stock has melted. There are 63 new Melted Candles now restocking instead.
Something strange is happening in Marada. It's supposed to be winter. In the 15 years we've been visiting Marada, we've never had this sort of temperature in November!
It's suddenly really hot - hotter than all of summer. We haven't had heat like this since our Pool Party! We aren't sure what is going on but experts are looking into this strange phenomenon. We will keep you all updated when they have more information.
The Snowman is melting - Biala really can't cope in this heat! Obviously this means he won't be able to quest.
To help farmers out during this heat, the Account Upgrades Shop has a 2 for 1 promotion on all Fertiliser.
The Smoothies, Soft Drinks and Ice Cream Shops all have a 2 for 1 special on all items.
It's so hot in Biala that elves have stopped making Toys. Seems their stock sold out fast!
The Frozen Food Shop stock all melted. If this weather continues, he may need to rethink his business.
The Kamilah Desert is having some of the hottest temperatures on record! They're used to the heat and are coping so far.
The Sultan has had to DOUBLE the cost of his tax though, to help pay for the air conditioning bills!
Heatwave #2 New Stuff (14 july 2020)
All Summer, Island and Shaved coloured pets will receive FREE training at the Gym and Elite Gym and FREE lessons at the School and University.
Whenever there is a heatwave in Marada, the retired Summer Treasure Chest is back on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop. It will automatically retire again when the weather changes.
There is very little wind and conditions are calm even in Vortex Park! The Windmill is barely spinning but if you do wait for it to stop you will be guaranteed to gain a stat for your pet
The Earth Fairy is a climate expert and has once again warned the citizens about climate change in Marada. To spread her message, she is rewarding DOUBLE item and DOUBLE MP reward prizes during the heatwave. She was once again quoted saying: 'Unless we act fast, this warm weather will be permanent'
RAIN
Completing a level on any Mission during this rain and you'll win one of these new Umbrellas for your Wardrobe.
The Books, CDs, DVDs and Video Game Shops all have a 2 for 1 special on all items to help you keep your pets entertained inside while it rains.
The rain has made the Lake in Lush Lake flood. For your own safety, you cannot currently visit.
With Lush Lake flooded from the rain, the Coffee, Contact Lenses, Hair Dye, Lipsticks and Olympic Shops are all closed.
With the miserable rainy weather outside, pets are concentrating better at School, the Gym, Elite Gym and University and earning Double Stats.
Pets are all working harder at their jobs as it rains outside. This means there is TRIPLE the chance of receiving a Job Promotion random event and DOUBLE the chance of the promotion actually being given by your pet's boss!
This rain has the residents of Marada doing a lot more indoor activities, like Shopping. But it also is a chance for Shopkeepers like you to increase your shop sales and the amount of items you have on sale! Upgrading your Shop Size is currently Half Price!
And finally, Queen Eleka will be giving out extra FREE Loyalty Raffle Tickets for players who fill up and price their own Shops. While she won't reveal her secret formula, the more new items you add and price in your Shop, the more extra tickets she will give out!
Rain #2 new stuff
The rain has brought with it stronger winds, causing the Windmill to spin faster and generate more electricity. You will be guaranteed to gain a stat for your pet from it and all electricity bills will be FREE at the Power Station.
While you wait for the bad weather to pass, why not play our Puzzle Games? All games with a Daily Raffle will have double winners for each prize! For example, the Solitaire raffle now has two winners of £5 Account Upgrade Credits and four winners of £2 Account Upgrade Credits
RAINBOW
After a week or so of rain, it's slowly stopping and the sun has come through, creating a beautiful Rainbow. The Rainbow Fairy informs us that a rainbow in Marada lasts around 6 to 24 hours usually but she thinks this time it'll be around for about 48 hours or 72 hours at the most! What happens when there is a Rainbow? Well...
All Rainbow Pets will receive FREE training at the Gym and Elite Gym and FREE lessons at the School and University.
Whenever there is a rainbow in Marada, the Operations Portal, Whirlpool, Vortex Park Reservoir and Foxfire Pond are guaranteed to change your pet's colour, species or both!
The Account Upgrades Shop has a 2 for 1 promotion on all DNA items.
With all the beautiful colours in the sky, Drew doesn't need any more colour! He will only ask for the colour white, which is default for every player. This means you can complete his quests without the Glowing Egg collection requirement.
The Leprechaun is busy chasing the rainbow. You'll have to wait until this rainbow leaves to complete his quests.
The Costumes, Contact Lenses, Eye Make Up, Face Make Up, Fake Costumes and Hair Dye Shops all have a 2 for 1 special on all items.
Complete a Farming quest and if you win a Ball of Yarn you will receive 2.
And finally, if your minipet can change colour, it will change colour when it rides the Fasoro Falls.
Note: Since the costumes shop changed to costumes boutique, there is no 2-for-1 at that shop now. (5 nov 2020)
STORM
An unexpected, dangerous Storm has hit Marada. It's different to the Rain that Marada has recently experienced and it's like no weather the residents of Marada have ever experienced! As soon as we know more about it, we will let you know... but so far it's brought the following changes to Marada...
The School is currently closed as a result of the severe weather across Marada.
Unfortunately the Magic Carpet cannot fly through the storm and has been grounded. You will not be able to use the Magic Carpet to pass any mission level until the storm passes.
While the Magic Carpet is grounded, you can visit the Telescope and are guarenteed to spot it if you haven't already done so!
The Account Upgrades Shop has a 2 for 1 promotion on all Blood items.
The storm isn't all doom and gloom! Play Cloud Nine and all three storm cloud multipliers will show, automatically awarding you with the highest multiplier.
To help prepare for the worst of the storm, the Batteries, Canned Food and Candle Shops all have a 2 for 1 special on all items.
The storm has the Sugar Stack falling over so easily the stack cannot get as high as usual.
Every time you play Pie Throw, the storm will blow a pie at a random player online.
The storm is much worse in Vortex Park, forcing the Diner, Fake Dukka Coins, Fake Pirate Ship and Fake Costumes Shops to close.
Shusan has also had to stop her quests, as her socks were blowing away.
The storm has the Nutty Tree dropping it's nut items each time you visit.
Every time Pembe throws her Pixie Dice, they blow away! Until the storm passes, she will give out either 1 or 2 random stats each time - guarenteed!
For safety reasons, Slater Park has had to temporarily close Fasoro Falls and the Ferris Wheel to all riders.
TORNADO
Vortex Park is no more! What will happen to its residents? Only time will tell. We do have unconfirmed reports that several of its residents survived the storm.
With so many injured pets, the Hospital is currently FREE to visit.
All Stock Market shares in any Vortex Park shop are now bankrupt.
The Time Machine survived the storm but has been damaged. Until it is repaired, it's bringing people back in time twice. It will reward 2 Prizes instead of 1 from its prize list.
Carpenter wants to help with the repairs from the Tornado. Instead of being random, you are guaranteed to receive a FREE toy fix from him after your next 10 Carpenter quests. After you earn a FREE fix of a broken toy (and use it) you will earn another after your next 13 Carpenter quests. This will keep increasing by 3 quests each time.
All Tornado, Thunder, Nimbus and Lightning Pets will receive FREE training at the Gym and Elite Gym and FREE lessons at the School and University.
The Health Tonics, Medicine and Tool Shops all have a 2 for 1 special on their items to help Marada to recover.
The high winds and destruction have brought more cases of Random Events like pet's getting sick, items blowing away, attics breaking and random wigs and hats blowing off visitors to Marada.
To help those affected by the Tornado, the Charity Shop is stocking many more items and all stock is currently FREE.
In other news, the City of Marada has honoured their FREE LESSONS at the School for Simerian pets until February 10th.
BLACKOUT .. 4 Sep 2020
Traps left at the City of Marada Power Station caught workers by surprise and unfortunately injured them all. This has caused a huge Blackout pushing all of Marada into darkness! Workers predict it will take 7-8 days to fix the issue.
What happens when there is a Blackout? Well...
All Candle, Devil, Fire, Fire Fairy, Lightning, Light Fairy, Neon, Sparkle and Strobe pets will receive FREE training at the Gym and Elite Gym and FREE lessons at the School and University.
Visit the Telescope during a blackout and you'll win one of these amazingly detailed Photos of each world in Marada.

Without any power, the Operations Portal has reset to factory settings and will change the colour of any pet that uses it to black or white. No species changes will happen at the Operations Portal during a blackout.
Whenever there is a blackout event, the retired Galactic Treasure Chest is back on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop.
It will automatically retire again when power is restored to Marada.
The blackout has Baspinar's Castle and Eleka's Castle in darkness 24 hours a day. Therefore the Knutt Knight will stay sleeping and his quests cannot be completed but the Troll mission will stay open 24 hours a day. The Bank has decided to remain open throughout the blackout.
Ublish no longer needs your help finding stars for his mission - it's so dark he can see them himself and has taken a well earned vacation!
The Batteries, Candle, Glowing Egg, Health Tonic and Star Shops all have a 2 for 1 special on all items.
The grave keeper is also always asleep when you vist Grave Robbing.
And finally, these are how every Photo taken of your pet at the Photo Parlour or Webcam will look during a blackout...

DRIZZLE
All Breeze, Plant, Sad, Safari, Sewers and Scout coloured pets will receive FREE training at the Gym and Elite Gym and FREE lessons at the School and University.
Whenever there is Drizzle in Marada, the retired Harmony Treasure Chest is back on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop.
It will automatically retire again when the weather changes.
This weather has turned the Candyland Sugar Stack prizes into Gummy Sugar Cubes. During this weather event you have double the chance of winning a bonus prize and they are Gummy Sugar Cubes instead of the usual prize list.
You are guaranteed to win a Bonus Prize when you send your third score of the day in our Arcade Games. This work for any game that currently has Bonus Prizes that you can usually win at random.
Completing a level on any Mission during this drizzle and you'll win a Bad Luck Spell
The Drizzle has made the ground a lot softer and easier to dig. Visit Archeology and you are guaranteed to win either a Key or Dukka Coin.
Demand for Magazines and Newspapers has gone through the roof! Both of these shops have doubled their prices until the weather changes.
Drizzle and these new Bobble Heads were enough to distract the Slater Stalker from her usual stalking. She has cleared her Shop of its usual items and these are now on sale for Stalker Points
The Drizzle is perfect for growing a Beanstalk! If you have a Magic Bean planted, your Beanstalk will grow twice as quick. Complete any mission level for the Beanstalk and you will Climb 2 Levels instead of one.
Potatoes are growing so fast that the Guess the Weight competition resets every hour instead of every 3 hours.
It is also great for Farming quests and the chances of winning a Ball of Yarn have doubled and Gardening is twice as fast as normal.
Once per unique day on Marapets, if you purchase a Three Hundred Dukka Coin from the Account Upgrades Shop you will get 2 for 1
This benefit resets at midnight each day for the duration of the Drizzle Weather Event
The Trash Heap in the City Sewers doesn't smell as bad so you can spend more time here! Each visit will win a guaranteed item from the Prize List
A new 'Work from Home' Experience has been released. Can you find it?
The Costumes Boutique has the Breeze Costume on sale
There are currently 20 pets can wear the Breeze Costume
The Breeze Costume automatically stocks here whenever there is a Drizzle weather event and stays on sale until the weather changes. If another Account Upgrades Costume was due to stock here on a specific day during this weather event, it will stock instead for that day only and return to the Breeze Costume the following day.
