We would like to apologise for the Maintenance we had yesterday. It was planned for next week but at the last minute it was changed and we had no time to warn you of it. Our servers were being moved to our new secondary network, to allow for future upgrades. Our old network was too difficult for us to work with as we have grown so quickly and it was never planned properly for this amount of players. Our network will now be easily upgradable to whatever we need without any future downtime. Sorry for any inconvenience caused and within the next 48 hours, everyone should be able to access and play the site as normal. It will take a few days longer for all of the network sites to be back to normal.

The Mordo is now avaliable in Super Hero, Hobo, Royal and Funky.


Just a reminder that will be removing the Pumpkin Ed from the Account Upgrades page tomorrow.

NEW MISSION
The long awaited Theatre has opened upstairs in Baspinar's Castle, by a Phanty called Trunx. This mission should have the same difficulty as Tarquin, as Trunx asks for CDs that your pet has listened to. Complete all 30 missions for prizes such as a limited edition pet Phanty Potion, a Princess Costume, Musical Pearl, Trunx Plushie, Theatre Stamp and more!


The Phanty pet is now avaliable in Princess, Ninja and Devil. The Devil Costume will be released as part of the November Account Upgrades.

All Halloween Celebrations will end sometime on Saturday. The Pumpkin Ed minipet will still be avaliable until November 9th.

Halloween may now be over, but we've still got new Halloween Minipets for you. The Twree Stamp that was on the limited edition account upgrade items page has now been retired, being replaced by the Pumpkin Ed minipet. He is avaliable to purchase with your upgrade credit for the whole of Halloween Week and then will retire - but as its been released later than planned, it will actually retire November 9th.

Five other Halloween Minipets are now resstocking on Minipet Island too!

A new Halloween Event has just started! As well as all of the other fun halloween activities happening all week, the Pumpkin Hunt is also taking place. This is a new event to the site but if its a success, we hope to bring it back every year - like our Easter Hunt. While you are playing the site as normal, there is a chance that a Pumpkin will show somewhere on the page in an orange box. It could be anywhere on the page so you will need to look out for it. When you find the pumpkin, you click on it and you will receive a prize. This could be one of these 5 new halloween Candy Dispensers, a Halloween Book or MP. You can only get these items from this event and they will retire in a week's time. The more pumpkins you find and collect, the more prizes you will receive. At the end of the week, a Halloween Costume and 100,000MP will be rewarded to the 25 players who have found and collected the most Pumpkins!
Collect Pumpkin

Halloween Week has just started and so has Trick or Treating! This is the only week of the year that Elger has a break from giving her quests, for pets who have dressed up in their witch, halloween or ghost costumes for this special ocasion. Every 20 minutes you can go to visit Elger for a trick or a treat. This year's treats include the Ghost Pearl, Halloween Stamp, Trick or Treat DVD and Graveyard Dirges! There is one thing you may need to watch - there is a small chance that your pet will change into a Ghost or Witch (or Halloween in a couple of days) Phanty! This is your chance to be one of the first to own one of these Limited Edition pets!

As Halloween is getting closer and closer, now everytime you play a game, you will get a random Halloween Treat! It may even be one of these new Halloween Lollies...

The chances of getting a Halloween or a Ghost or a Witch pet have tripled from at the Portal - and its 10 times more likely at the Whirlpool!

Its nearly Halloween and the whole of Marada is getting into the halloween spirit! From today until the end of October, halloween celebrations will be occuring all over the site!

The Snowman has taken halloween a little too seriously this year! He is only asking for halloween treats and he is giving out new prizes, such as the Ghost Costume and Pumpkin Gumballs!

We have retired the Wild Back Wallpaper from the limited edition items at the Account Upgrades page, and replaced it with the Two Hundred Dukka Coin.

There are five new Avatars for you to find.

Is that an Azul I see flying overhead on a broomstick? There seems to be a witch convention in town today! Three more Witch pets have arrived to join in the halloween celebrations...

Meanwhile over at the Plushie Machine there must be some kind of witchery in the air... We now have these Enchanted Rofling Plushies available to win!


And did something go terribly wrong with these plushies? No, they're just Mutants... Creepy!

Marapets reached 1,000,000 members today!! This is a huge milestone for us and as promised, we will be having a huge party to celebrate. But as the rest of the month is dedicated to Halloween related news and events on the site, our party will be in the first week of November! Thanks for everyone who plays the site - without you we wouldn't have made it!

Watch out if you meet any of these pets on a dark night in the Undying Woods! Three more Halloween pets have arrived in Marada:

Halloween is getting nearer and the pets seem to be getting into the spirit of things! Recently spotted hanging out with Elger are the Ghost Knutt, Ghost Xoi, and Ghost Murfin

The plushie machine Newths have been busy again and hope you will like these enchanted and plain Reese plushies...


You may also be lucky enough to win one of these rather cool enchanted halloween plushies from the machine!
