The missing Mummy Troit has now been released. The zombie, mummy, prison and mutant Arinya have also been released!


We have fixed all of the known problems with our Dress Up Characters. All Character Costumes are now treated as clothing, and not hair, so they can be put on properly and changed colour by the Lush Fountain again. Wigs can change colour and they fit male and female characters properly. Broken clothing and hair has also been fixed.

There are 6 new Hidden Avatars for you to find!!!

Our newest Dress Up Game has just been released. This doll maker is Britney Spears. We have arranged some of the clothes, shoes and hair styles avaliable for Marapets dolls to look like what we think would be Britney Spears. You can play with the doll maker to dress up Britney Spears. If you like some of the clothes or hairstyles, you can get them on the site for your own dress up character! The hairstyles are now avaliable at the Salon, and some of the clothes are avaliable for free at the Clothing Rack.

MARAHOMES UPDATE
We have fixed and improved the Marahomes. You can now put furniture and applianaces into your home, and actually use them how they are supposed to be used. Minipets and Pets also now get hunger, tired, unhappy, etc. We have also improved the artwork for Marahomes - each home has the artwork for the Gardens that will be out soon. Pets that are sleeping now actually wake up, and pets in the Hotel now automatically leave when they are supposed to. You can also rename Minipets again. Paint, Wallpaper and Flooring also works for homes.

NEW JOBS
We have improved the way that the Job Centre and Promotions work. We were not happy with the old system and decided a complete overhaul of them was necessary. There are 24 different Jobs avaliable all of the time, if you pet has the correct stats required. Every job has a total of 15 Levels. Each level gets harder to complete in terms of stat requirements, but you are rewarded with more Wages of MP every day. The stats required for jobs are now Gym, Elite Gym, School, University, Books, CDs, DVDs, Spells, Instruments, Charisma and Magic. The Promotions are now random events that are a lot less rare to show up. Whenever you reach Level 15 in a Job, your pet's profile will receive a Trophy for this Job! And, of course, the Job Centre is now glitch free and all of your pet's old jobs have been reset for this new system.

All of the Valentines Day Events will be finishing at MIDNIGHT Marapets time today and the prizes will be retired.

With every visit he will shower your pet in gifts!


Can you find this Valentine 2009 hidden avatar? You'll have to be quick, it'll retire on Monday....

WEBSITES & UPLOADS
After a long few months without Uploads and MaraSites, we decided to bring them back. We had sadly decided to discontinue these free services we provided for everyone, because of the cost and extra workload managing them was for us, especially at a time when the rest of the Marapets had an exceptional workload all year, to upgrade and fix the whole site and network. Now that the Marapets site is finally managable, we have decided to bring back these services. MaraSites is now back and running better than it has ever done before. Uploads now has a new website, https://uploads.marapets.com but will still be unreliable and glitchy like it has been before. It is scheduled to have a big upgrade in a few months to fix these problems.

The new February Account Upgrades have been released! There are 2 different themes - Valentine and Cowboy! We know that there has been a lot of Account Upgrade stuff released recently, but we've got a lot of catching up to do. But don't panic, this Account Upgrade set will not be retiring next month, only the older Account Upgrade packages and Limited Edition items on sale! Thanks for supporting Marapets.

The Valentine themed Account Upgrade has the following items. There is also a 1 in 3 chance that you will get a limited edition Lati pet potion instead of Reese!



The Cowboy themed Account Upgrade has the following items. There is also a 1 in 3 chance that you will get a limited edition Lati pet potion instead of Ideus!

VALENTINES WEEKEND
This weekend will be our first annual Valentines Day Event. Starting later today and finishing on Monday, all weekend will have Valentines Day events.

All of the known glitches and errors with Clubs have now been fixed. The new Clubs also have lots of new features and some of the biggest changes are:

Club Item Donations - if you are a member of a club, you can now easily donate any of the items in your Inventory to your club. These items go to the 'Club Items' storage where every member can see what items currently belong to a Club and your item donation is logged and listed on the Donations list for all to see.

Club Shops - any items donated to a club can be priced by the leader of the club, or by any member who is given permission to price the items. When items are priced, they go on sale in the Club Shop that only Club Members can buy from. All MP from sales of items in the Club Shop go to the Club Till. There is also a Sales History for each club for all members to see.

The Pumpkin Hunt winners have just been released. Congratulations to all of those who were in the Top 500 and received a Hot Dog Trading Card. If you were a winner, you will now have your MP and/or Trading Card, and a Maramail Alert. If you haven't received one, you were not in the top 500 and you did not get a prize. Well done to everyone that took part, and we are sincerely sorry for the delay - our maintenance took top priority!

NEW GAME
Jenoa now has its own Scratchcards kiosk. Every two hours you can buy a Scratchcard for just a Five Dukka Coin. There are 8 different cards avaliable, some rarer than others. The rarer the card, the higher the prizes. There are two possible prizes - MP and Pet Stats!

It has been a while since we had any Limited Edition items that randomly show up on sale at the Account Upgrades page. We now have a pearl, cd, dvd, book, minipet, 750 Dukka Coin, Trading Card and Pizza on sale! These will all RETIRE in the first week of March, along with the Mordo Potions and the old Account Upgrades - when we release the March Account Upgrades.

NEW MISSION
We have just released the new Mission Game in Vortex Park. Vortex Park has a serious problem with crime. Crime rates in this world alone are bigger than all of the other Maradan worlds combined. The Vortex Park Penitentiary state of the art detention and correctional centre handles hundreds of high risk criminals from around Marada.

The Penitentiary needs your help finding criminals. There are 30 different missions for you, each harder than the last. We will show you Photos of criminals who have recently committed a crime, and you will need to have this Photo collected in your Photo Album. You can then come back here and complete the mission. It is important for the safety of all Maradans that we have as many photos of these criminals in Photo Albums to increase the chances of us catching them before they commit more crimes!
