All of the missing Battle Opponents have been released and are working in the Arena. Sorry for the delay.
We have hidden 3 new Avatars - Devil, Caveman and Reon!
It seems there are still a few problems with Account Upgrades, especially the Marasite/Journal and Uploads. Just a quick apology and they will be dealt with when I have time on Wednesday. Those who have waited more than a week for some will receive something extra.

The Clubs Donation has been changed so that now you can only donate to a Club you have joined, and direct linking has been blocked. Thanks to our Account Protection Policy, our logs managed to log the few people who donated sone MP to a club yesterday by following a direct link and it was quickly returned. Also, a quick thank you to the low lifes that spent most of yesterday looking for a way to hack Marapets - we've had the most page views on a Saturday ever, with 7,345,817 hits yesterday!
These Enchanted Newth Plushies are in the Plushie Machine now.

NEW GAME
We have released another new game to start of the week. As promised, we will try our hardest to release one brand new flash game every week. This week, we have released Marapet Keeper. We hope you like it, and if there are any problems or errors please let us know with a support ticket.
Can you find the Fairy or Hobo avatars we have hidden?
We have been having a few problems with the Account Upgrades system. Only instant payments are working, such as credit card payments so instant bank transfers do not seem to work. If you have paid for an upgrade and not received it right away, please open a support ticket with the paypal email address, transaction ID and amount of the payment and we'll process it manually within 48 hours.
The Stoneage Knutt and Angel Poera are the latest pet colours avaliable.
Three new Avatars have been hidden for some of the latest flash games.
The Marapop Event will continue later today. We had delayed it for server changes but they will not happen until the end of the month instead.
The Editorial for this week has been released.
ACCOUNT UPGRADE CHANGES
We've finally managed to get Account Upgrades automatic. You now buy credit by typing in the amount of US dollars you would like to spend and buying this with paypal, or by sending cash/cheques. You will also soon be able to buy credit for other people. If you buy with paypal and the payment is instant, the credit will be added to your account straight away. It may take a few days until your payment clears with some payment options. You can also save the credit on your account and spend it on whatever upgrade you want, whenever you want, at the click of a button! It seems that for a few people it does not work instantly, but you will still receive them quicker than usual, because I manually check them against a list of those that the server processed and then send them. We hope you are happy with the changes, it should make it much more efficent.
The June Account Upgrades are now here. Similar to what we did in May, there are two themes but only avaliable as a Gold Account. They will not come in Bronze and Silver, but will also not go up to $20 in two months time. Here are some of the prizes you could get...
A Hobo Chibs or a Fairy Chibs with these new costumes, or if you manage to get the potion!
A Fairy Stamp or a Hobo Stamp for your albums.
A Lxi Trading Card. This and other recent battle opponents will be activated later in the week.
The new Checklist for June has been released. Enter this month for a
Free Ipod Nano and a
Free Sony PSP! Even more prizes have been added this time, and then entry requirements are also easier than last month. The winners for May and June's upgrades will be released later in the week.
The Editorial for this week has been released.
NEW GAME
Its been a while since we've had a new game but Bounchy has been released. It has replaced Funky Pong as our 5th flash game. We have also fixed Undead Billiards. Sorry for the very long delay, there was a small bug with the score sending, because of recent changes to our domain name, which took us until yesterday to find. Now it has been fixed, we should be back to one new game released a week. You can also see a preview of the new pet, Xoi, in the game!
The Oglue default avatar has been released.
The Layout has been fixed. It had to be recoded because of a few bugs that appeared on other browsers. Sorry for those that have experienced these problems since it went live. If anything does not load properly, any lines show or things just do not line up please open a support ticket and let us know in detail what resolution your computer is and the browser you use the internet with. It has been testing with Opera, Mozilla, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer and the AOL browser and there are no problems but if you do experience any, please let us know before we start on the Night theme.
NEW LAYOUT
June is here and we've started the summer with a brand new look for the site. One of the biggest problems of the site was that we had so much content and it wasn't organised well enough. It has taken a while but we have reorganised the whole site, with 'Also Try...' for similar content and more consistent, organised colours for sections of the site. We also realised that the layout lacked character and colour. We have redesigned it to be much nicer for the variety of users we have on the site. You are currently seeing the 'Day' theme of the site. By the end of the week, at night time MST, you will see the 'Night' theme. Also they are both summer versions. For the autumn, the leaves will fall and in winter, it will be frozen. As the year changes on Marapets, so will the layout. Even if you are not a fan of the changes, as we realise how some people do not like major change, we have tried not to move or reorder buttons unless we really had to! Please also note that it has taken a very long time to get it like this but it is not completed. We still need to add a text link of how many maramails you currently have, changes to random events and notifications and fixing the problems some browsers are experiencing. The layout has been optimised to work best with Mozilla Firefox. If you would to change browsers, here is how you can:
We are a little behind schedule with the Account Upgrades. We'll try and get them released by Monday. The January upgrades will retire when June's are released so its your last chance to get them!
The June Checklist will be released in a day or two. You still have time to enter May's competition if you haven't yet.
The Editorial for this week has been released.
NEW MISSION
The Troll is the latest mission, this time for Musical Instruments. Like Tarquin's Library, the Troll wants a pet that has learnt a certain instrument. The difference is, the Troll is only avaliable every other hour, during the night at the Castle. Also, each time you complete his missions, the level required for the instruments will increase. Remember to check the time on the site before you start the mission!
Changes have been made to Baspinar's Castle. Every hour, the map changes. At even hours (02,04,etc) it is night time and at odd hours (03,05,etc) it is day time. During the night the inside of the Castle will be closed, the bridge will be up and you will be able to visit the Troll that lives under the bridge. During the day, the Troll will be unavaliable and the inside of the Castle will be open.
This Troll Avatar has now been hidden. I wonder how you get it...
The Rotten Costume is one of the Troll's prizes. This is what the Rotten Sindi, Leido and Ideus look like:
The Mommi is the newest battle opponent - also a prize of the Troll!
NEW PET
The 32nd marapet has been released! The Oglue is limited edition and you can only get one from a potion, from the Troll missions.
For those of you who don't know, The Pot of Gold can be found in Gigantic Paradise and you can get free items there that fellow Maradans have donated to it...
