The Ziranek map has been updated, with a couple of new places added to it.

We have just released the digital clock in Ziranek. It is basically a feature that should make the site much easier for you to play. It has a Countdown for you to let you know how long you have to wait to do something again. For example, it could tell you that you have to wait 12 hours and 35 minutes until you can use the Whirlpool again. Never miss a daily again!

The Wallpaper shop has opened at Baspinar Castle with 10 new wallpaper items for you restock. The items have been activated and you can now wallpaper the walls of your houses! Carpet has also been fixed.

Please remember that for us to be able to keep improve Marapets we need support from our players through Account Upgrades.

We have begun to revamp and improve some of the very old parts of the site. Guess the Weight has been updated. You may need to refresh a few times for the new image to show.

Sorry for the downtime yesterday. We were down for a few hours longer than expected, but the Maintenance was successful. You should notice Marapets is running much better than before. Please note that the maintenance is not complete. For the rest of July there will not be any major maintenance with the whole site closing, but certain areas of the site might be randomly closed for improvement. Thanks for all those that helped us with our bug fixing since we reopened, ALL major problems have been fixed now - the only major part of the site still down is the Two Player Battle Arena. If you find an error after this news post that has not been fixed, please let us know in the Help Forum. Errors before this news post have most likely been fixed already, as our bug list only has 5 things listed to be fixed. Thanks for your patience =D

The Kronk Avatar and the Default Avatar have been updated.

An updated version of the Inside of Baspinar's Castle has been released. Its been completed now and is fully labelled. You may need to refresh a few times for the new map to load.

The three Political Parties have been released inside the castle. Every two months or so Marada has an Election, with the first one starting right now, and the election usually lasts for a month. There are three parties, each with their own Manifesto of changes they will make to the site if they win. Each player has one vote in the election, and at the end the party with the most votes will be in power and the changes they proposed will happen on the site! Use your vote carefully - you cannot change it. You'll also get a cool rosette for the party you stand for added to your profile!


There are three new Hidden Avatars for you to find.
