A new set of items has just been released! Boosters are one use items that you can use on pets to gain stats. There is a time limit for using them, based on the level of your pet, using the same hourly time limits as the Gym. You can gain between 1 and 6 stats from each booster. The Magic Booster is one of the new Loyalty Prize items and the other 5 boosters are in the new limited edition Account Upgrade items.

Account Upgrades have had a processing error for the past week that took until yesterday to fix. Its working automatically and instantly now and we apologise for anyone who had to wait longer than usual to get their credit. Anyone that was waiting for credit was manually given credit today but if you think we missed you out, please email us or open a support ticket and we'll fix it for you right away. Sorry for any inconvenience.

The King's Loyalty Prizes have been updated. The King now tells you the exact date and time you joined Marapets and he is rewarded players up to 3 years now!

We have just released 2 brand new Games! These new flash games are in the Card Games category. They cannot send score at the moment but this and any other games that have bugs are being worked on now. To help us find out about all of the bugs any of our Games have in them, I have added a new Blog on my profile. Please can you comment on it with your bug reports about Flash Games. We will fix the bugs and release the updated versions as soon as possible. For now, enjoy these 2 games until their final versions are released for you to send score!

SITE UPDATE
As some of you may already know, to help upgrade the site and move it to our new faster and more stable system, we had to completely reprogram a site! It has taken the past 3-4 months to literally start again with the site and code over 3 year's work again. I'm happy to say that the vast majority (approximately 80% of the site) of this has been completed and is now online and running on the site. You may of noticed that as sections of the "new" site were added, these sections had lots of new features added and quite few old ones removed. The main benefit is that they are a lot faster and more stable than before but its also allowed for us to add new features. Auctions can now be for marapals and club members only. Search around the site is a lot faster and we managed to bring back the very useful Attic Search. Blogs can now be commented on. Signatures/fonts/avatars can now be different in Forums, Maramail and Clubs. These are just a few of the many changes that have been made - there is too many to list!

It won't be long now until the rest of the site is finished and all of the remaining glitches and site problems are gone. When that is finished, the site will go down for 4-12 hours of maintenance while we move to our new system. Don't worry though, there will be plenty of warning before the downtime! Until this maintenance, the site may still randomly crash like it has been for the past few months. This is hardware fault that won't be fixed until the move to the new system.

Its been a while since we hid any new Avatars, so here are 11 new ones for you to find!

SITE UPDATE
To improve the site for the future and to limit any lag, downtime and server errors, we have been making hundreds of changes to the site which has consisted of starting again with major sections of the site and changing the way they work! This has and will cause some minor disruption for the next couple of weeks but you will very quickly notice a huge change in the stability of the site, its loading times and with most glitches on the site being fixed. We also have tons of great new stuff coming out this month - including the Olympics and the Undying Festival! We also have a brand new World being discovered in Marada! All we ask is for your patience for the next few weeks. We will keep you updated in the news with all of the major changes around the site as we complete them!

NEW FEATURE
Are you ready to change the colour of your skin? The new Tanning Salon has just opened in Lowlyhood! Its a completely safe, painless spray tan which will permanently change the colour of your character's skin. All you need is a Tanning Salon Ticket. Remember, getting a tan from the sun or from tanning beds/booths is very dangerous. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the most prominent and universal cancer-causing agent. Excessive exposure to UVA radiation will cause premature aging, including wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of skin elasticity and can cause cancer.

NEW MISSION
We have just released the new Mission Game in Slater Park. The Slater Park Circus has been entertaining visitors and tourists for years. The clowns that own the circus are overworked and need your help. They have 30 different missions for you, each harder than the last. You will need to find balloons, plushies, fast food, soft drinks or pizza and bring them back to them. If you fail to bring any of them, you will have to start again. Before you can start any level of the mission, you must first gain entry to the Circus. Entry can be gained with a Circus Ticket.

The Blitzen Mission has changed. There are 5 new Viotto Potions and the amounts of MP have been increased on almost all levels by a lot! The final level now rewards 1,000,000MP! We have also been really busy updating the hundreds of items that Blitzen should and shouldn't ask for. From now on, whenever an item is released, it can instantly be asked for by Blitzen. Also, as soon as an item is retired, it is instantly NO LONGER asked for by Blitzen. Please be aware of both of these before starting a level of Blitzen missions - we will not reset if it asks for an item that has just been released and there is limited or no supply of the item. Resets are only ever granted as a result of a glitch or error.

Introducing the 49th species of Marapet. The Zoosh is limited edition and will be avaliable from the new mission in Slater Park!

The Fates Missions have changed. The cooking ingredients won from Goals are no longer asked for. It no longer asks for retired items and the MP rewards have increased a lot on most levels! You now get 750,000MP on the final level!! There are also 5 new rarity 49 Yuni Potions you might win at the end.

The Troll Missions have been changed too. The higher levels can now also ask for a Piano instrument. There are 2 new Oglue Potions as prizes, and the MP rewards have increased a lot! The last level will now give you 500,000MP!!

The Ublish Missions have been changed. The mission now gives more MP for the higher level, with the last level now giving 500,000MP. The rarity and amount of stars asked at each level has been updated to make more sense now. The Virgo star has been added to the Millionaires Lodge and the weird delay of you actually receiving your MP prize from the mission has been fixed. There is also 11 new Huthiq Potions as prizes when completing the mission!



Trunx and Trotter missions have also been updated. They no longer ask for retired items and have had the same changes to them as Tarquin. An extra potion has been added to - the Ghost Zoink Potion.

The Tarquin Missions have been changed. The mission no longer asks for retired books or books won in the Goals. We have updated lots of books that should of been retired a long time ago. Tarquin will ask for rarity 1 to 30 books that are not retired. Account Upgrade books will be asked for only until they are marked as retired. There are also 7 new Poera Potions.


The Rusty Missions have also been updated. It now asks for bones, canned food and meals that are currently on sale at the restaurant.

We are changing the way that all of the Mission Games work on Marapets. The first mission to be changed is the Clam. Here are some of the many changes to the Clam mission:

MP for most levels has been increased. The final prize is now 250,000MP, with prizes of 200,000MP, 150,000MP and 100,000MP avaliable for the levels before completing the mission. Most of the other levels have also had the MP prize increased!

New Potions - there is 2 new Kronk potions as prizes in the mission. Halloween and Sponge.

Goal Pearls - the pearls you win from goals can now only be asked for on the last 5 levels of the mission!

Retired Pearls - some rare retired pearls have been released around the site. You can find them in the Pirate Ship, Rapunzel and Millionaires Lodge.

Level Changes - the pearls asked for on levels now makes sense. The higher the level, the higher the rarity.

In other words, the mission is now do-able, a lot easier to do, the pearl prices should actually make sense now and the prizes for finishing the mission are better!

There is a new Editorial for you to read. If you want this released more often, your going to have to ask more interesting questions!

If you have a Furry Costume, these 3 pets look really cute wearing one!

3 more levels have been added to the Biala Goals Games in Biala. You win a Biala Wig and MP!

These 2 new Nefarious Costume colours are now avaliable for the Paffuto and Reese.

There is a new mission being released in Slater Park in a couple of days. This Balloon Costume is one of the prizes and here are some balloon pets. Can you guess what items the mission will ask for?

This is just an update for everyone. Theres been a lot of funny rumours going around but nothing really interesting has happened, we just took a break from new updates to fix the site's servers and glitches. Noone died or got ill! We are finishing off the glitch fixing over the next couple of weeks and have tons of great new stuff to release! New worlds, items, pets, quests, missions, games - so much all coming out really oon! Here are 5 new pet colours just released! Lots of items that should of retired a long time ago will be fixed shortly, so this may be your last chance to get some! Especially the Easter Limited Edition AU items...
