We had another important upgrade to our site today, with all of our application servers receiving a lot of work. We have improved the loading times of the site by over 2,000% by optimising our php servers to full work how we need them to. We still have a lot more work happening on the site, which you will really start to notice happening soon. We are upgrading the RAM on all of our servers with 1GB or less of RAM. We have spent over $12,000 on RAM upgrades this week to make sure each server will, from Friday, have 4GB of RAM to work with. This will also help the site run a lot better, allowing us to cache a lot more data. Then from next week, all of our flash games are moving to their own network so that they can be optimised fully to load a lot quicker and to remove their lagging of our php servers. Thank you for your patience for the last few weeks, and for all of those who have purchased account upgrades, as they have helped to fund a lot of this.

SLATER PARK has received a much needed makeover. As with the server upgrades around the site, we treated Laimay to a new $250 drawing tablet for her artwork on the site. Shes had the same tablet for 3 years, since we started the site and really needed one that still worked! This map is the first piece of artwork shes used it for.. ›Read the full news

Welcome Back! Marapets is now back online with its brand new network of servers. We would like to apologise for the downtime, but it was essential and will have a lot of long-term benefits for us. You should have already noticed the change in speed. We will continue work for the next two weeks, without any downtime, to fix all problems. Network sites, such as Marasites, may take up to 3 weeks to return.

Restocks, trade and auction processing and the online count have now been fixed. Games also properly reset at midnight.

NEW GAME - Our third game has been released. Dukka Trove is released in beta for testing. However, we have had some feedback telling us that there are a few problems with it. We will release the final fixed version within the next few days if there are any problems with it.

Eight new Drinks are restocking!

Another major change is that 48 Hour User Protection and Account Penalties have finally been properly introduced. You can read more by following the link at the bottom of every page.

As part of our new start for the site, MP Verification is currently happening. We are taking the time to check over every account to make sure you all have what you should have. It could take anywhere between 5 minutes and 72 hours for you MP to be verified. Please be patient and to save a lot of time, be honest!

Marapets is also now blue! We wanted a fresh start for the site, which has had many problems in the past two months. The new Layout is permenant and we hope you like the changes. We hope to introduce changing layout colours and themes by the end of the year.
