HAPPY VALENTINES DAY
Our second event has just started. The loving Candy Tree has so much Candy and Chocolate that he gives Valentines Day treats to any pink, valentines, pixie, love, cotton candy or princess coloured pets. If you have one of these pets, you can visit the Candy Tree once every 15 Minutes, until the event ends on Monday, and he will be your pet's Valentine. 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. For our main event, you will need to have a pink, valentines, pixie, love, cotton candy or princess coloured pet to enter. All items released this weekend for our events will retire forever on Monday. Here are 12 new Pet Colours released for Valentines Day!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

NEW CLUBS
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.

Club Poll - the club polls have been fixed and results of the votes now show up instantly.

Club Quiz - the quiz feature has been fixed and you can now also delete the list of Club Quiz Winners at any time.

Club Donations - donations and the club till have been fixed and you can delete the list of MP donated to the club at any time.

Club Chat - club chat is now a lot faster and there is a new feature that allows you to delete all of the posts of a specific club member. This is useful for deleting all the posts of a spammer or a club member who has been banned.

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.



There are two new Giftbox items also on sale. The Scratchcards Giftbox will mean that you can buy Scratchcards twice as often forever and the Photo Parlour Giftbox means that you can take photos of your pets twice as often forever!

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!
