EASTER EVENT
The Easter Bunny has made her debut appearance in Marada! Decorate your profile and dress up your character for the celebrations, in pinks and golds and purples. The Easter Bunny will be visiting profiles and you may get rewarded for those who impress her. The Easter Bunny is not like Beelzebub, she is shy and easily scared away! Be nice and she will be running contests, games and giveaways on the Forums - a few lucky winners will receive a retired Lati Potion or Easter Costume, retired Easter Eggs and other great items! Naughty players will scare her away or receive only Carrots.




You do not have to have an easter/spring costume, you can dress up your doll in pinks, golds and purples, brown for a chocolate look or green colours a spring look.

If you are a younger player and you do not have access to Forums you can still take part. The Easter Bunny will visit profiles selected randomly from the Online list so make sure you are ready in case she drops by!

Want to help out? - send us items to the account 'Easter Bunny' for us to use as prizes!

A reminder that the annual Easter Egg Hunt will be starting later this week. This year will be better than ever, with a special suprise in store for all of those who find all 40 Easter Eggs and complete the hunt. Don't miss out!

GIFTBOX UPDATE
The Giftbox items on the Account Upgrades page have been improved. Every Giftbox item has been revamped and they are all now on sale in a brand new Giftbox Shop. Every single Giftbox has had their item description updated, so there should be no more confusion over what each one does! The most confusing 'Transmogrification Time Giftbox' has been renamed to 'Transmogrification Repeat Giftbox' and before you buy in the shop, a pop-up confirmation alert now asks you to confirm your purchase to stop accidental buys! There is also a 'what does this do?' link for each Giftbox so you can easily see what each one is for. Finally, once you have used a Giftbox, the boxes telling you about them will be removed from those sections of the site. For example, the Double Crystals Giftbox message will be removed from Elger quests page once you have used one.




The Giftbox section of every player's profile has been updated. They are now organised alphabetically, link back to the Giftbox Shop and has a progress bar of how many you have collected.

The Account Upgrades page has been updated with new links to the Giftbox Shop, Account Upgrades Shop and the Monthly Checklist - where you can win Account Upgrades credits for FREE each month. Yes, we will remove the 15,000MP entry fee next month so it is actually FREE to enter!

ACCOUNT UPGRADES
The limited edition Account Upgrade items section is now a new Shop. This will make it easier and faster for us to release new items for sale. It also now has a pop-up confirmation alert to stop accidental purchases. Items will also automatically retire, at midnight, on the date items in the shop say that they will retire.

For a limited time only, this shop now has random pieces of the Vending Machine Instructions and Sumo Sally Pass for sale. The Sumo Sally pass will automatically retire May 15th and the Steampunk Treasure Chest will automatically retire April 25th.

NEW EVENT
Breaking news from Biala! The computer virus that hit the city of Ziranek has been spreading around Marada! Items restocked recently for FREE in Ziranek were infected and spread around Marada by the Snowman quests. The Snowman has become corrupted and is now asking for Computer Parts to be sent to players online, to replace their infected parts. Until a patch is found for Ziranek, the snowman may reward you with these Corrupt items.

NEW EVENT
A hacker from Enpiah has managed to spread a computer virus in Ziranek. Once a world filled with the latest technology, in recent years has become dated and unprotected. All pets of Marada are being advised to stay away from this world until the Newths find a way to fix the damage these Huthiq hackers have caused. But for those willing to risk it, all Shops in Ziranek are now FREE. You can now buy items from the Appliances, Batteries, Computer Parts, CDs, DVDs and Glowing Eggs shops for 0MP until further notice. Each player can buy one item from a Ziranek shop every 5 minutes.


Just a reminder that Easter Sunday is April 20th and our annual Easter Egg Hunt will start next week. Don't miss out!

The default Zola avatar has been released.

NOTICE - this news was an April Fool's Day joke and is not a real event.

NEW EVENT
It has been a week since the Pot of Gold event where Zetzilla ate all 1,001,605 items that were donated. He was so full that he has stayed quiet since. Now it seems all of those Baby Costumes he ate have given him the taste for pets too! He has randomly been biting the heads off of your pets.

For the next 7 days, you need to search Marapets for the missing pet heads. Just like the pumpkin hunt, these heads will randomly show up on the page. The more heads that you find, the more prizes you will win. At the end of the event, if every missing head is found, your pets will return to normal! The top 100 players who find the most pet heads will receive a Headless Costume and 1,000,000MP!







There are now 11 new Headless Pets. Basil, Daisy, Echlin, Hump, Kujo, Lorius, Pucu, Willa, Xoi, Zola and Zoosh.

The Recycling Centre in the City of Marada has been redrawn. There are also new items now on sale.

NEW FEATURE
A new Capsule Machine has opened in Nimbus. It is filled with special Capsules containing many rare and exciting items. Insert a Capsule Machine Token and you will receive a random item. You can use it once every 12 hours. If you are really lucky, you may win a restricted Zola pet! The Capsule Machine Tokens are avaliable at the Account Upgrades page.

As the Capsule Machine can only used once every 12 hours you cannot send Tokens to other players to use the Capsule Machine on your behalf and to send you the item they win. That is putting your account at an unfair advantage over other players and is not permitted.








The Zola can now wear the Baby Costume.

NEW FEATURE
We have just released a new Goals Game. At every level you have a new goal to complete related to the City of Marada. Each level gets harder to complete but you will receive a prize for completing each level. Unlike quest and mission games, you have unlimited amount of time to complete each goal level and you can only complete them once. New levels will always be added to the Goals in each world. Prizes include rare items only avaliable from goals, MP, BP, RP, Dukka Coins, Account Upgrade Credit and stats for your pets. The City of Marada Goals is the 16th world to have goals and currently has 31 levels for you to complete. New levels will be added in the news to these goals all of the time, each with a brand new prize.




The City of Marada Goals has been added to the City of Marada map.

The Monthly Checklist has been updated. The requirements have changed and the artwork has been improved. You may also randomly win a Capsule Machine Token each month when you enter. Remember, if you have the Monthly Checklist Giftbox you will automatically be entered twice, each and every month, for life! There are just a couple of days left to enter the March 2014 competition so if you haven't already entered, enter now to win Account Upgrades Credit!

NOTICE - the new requirements will NOT need to be completed this month. If you are entering this month, ignore the Plates & Plushie collection requirement until April.




The Security Codes around the site have been improved. They should be much easier to read now!

The News has been updated. You can now comment on the latest site news. This feature is for your comments, feedback, opinions or any discussion about the news post. Using the comments to post SPAM, to chat off topic or "race" to be the first comment will result in Chat bans and fines. Please do not abuse this.

The Sybri can also wear the Prize Costume.



The Walk of Fame has been released in Lowlyhood. This is the new home for our celebrity dress up games. From time to time, we will select famous people that live far away from Marada and immitate their clothing, shoes and hair styles. They will be added to the site for you to wear - with the majority avaliable for FREE at the Clothing Rack. There are 3 new Miley Cyrus hair styles avaliable.

This week is Double Gym Stats Week! Every Gym and Elite Gym session that you complete this week will give you double the normal amount of stats for the same normal cost!



All Quests have been updated. They are all now more profitable.

The Job Centre in the City of Marada has been improved.



The Ice Fairy mystery item game is back!

We have removed Newspapers, Magazines, Plates and Photos from being asked by most quests. There is also less chance of being asked for 3 items from this quest.
