Chapter 03: Great Launch Log


Since the solar flare, something has changed inside the Gumball Machine. It's not always dispensing gumballs.
It's launching them into orbit at speeds between eleven and one hundred and ninety nine kilometers every second. You can see for yourself at the Launch Log.
Scene illustration
Gumballs don't belong in orbit! Even space fish can’t explain what’s going on.
In orbit, the gumballs twist, glow, and pulse — their surfaces warping under some unknown pressure. Every hour they change, almost as if evolving. And now, after six hours in orbit, they’ve started to… solidify. To become.
The Telescope is tracking them all. A Gumball Launch Log records every departure. And if you’ve launched at least one yourself, you’re now eligible to discover them.
Its distance travelled? Calculated to the exact kilometre. And the Longest Journeys are being watched very closely.
There will be prizes.
And maybe… answers.

There are 28 new Planet Gumballs you can win whenever there is a Solar Flare weather event
During a Solar Flare weather event, the Gumball Machine has these changes:
⋅ The price to use it changes based on the number of Players Online and there is a chance that any gumball you win shoots out into orbit
⋅ When this happens, it's speed is randomly selected (between 11km/s and 199km/s) and recorded on the Gumball Launch Log
⋅ Gumballs in orbit change every hour. After 6 Hours of travelling, these gumballs turn into Planet Gumballs and are ready to be discovered
⋅ For every gumball you put into orbit, you are able to visit the Telescope to try and discover a random planet
⋅ The more gumballs you launch into orbit, the more you are able to discover!
⋅ When you do, it's total distance will be calculated and you will win the Planet Gumball prize
⋅ At the end of the event, those at the top of the Distance Travelled List will win prizes - including Account Upgrade Credit

BREAKING NEWS
It's been a crazy six weeks since King Baspinar's Palladium Jubilee celebrations ended. Vortex Park has been thriving since its rebuild and the pirates of Dukka Caves have been busy with new, top secret construction projects.

No one has seen or heard from the King in over a month. He ended his celebrations in anger, launching his sword into the new Sword in the Stone and locking himself away in his castle. The residents of Marada are not sure what to make of it.

Why is the King on self-imposed lockdown? I'm sure we'll find out soon enough! In the meantime, have your umbrellas ready - rain is forecast for Marada this week...
A new Royal Treasure Chest is on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop. It will automatically retire June 30th. You can open this item to receive 8 different, random new items, including new clothes, wigs, footwear, minipet, gourmet food, weapons and accessories. You will not receive duplicate items inside a single treasure chest.







A new 'Royal Palace' experience has been released. Can you find it?

There have been many, many changes to do with Caring for Pets. Although we have grown over the years in content, Marapets is and will always be a Virtual Pet Site. The name Marapets was chosen because 'mara' was a reference to death and Marapets would die if not looked after. Over the years this was disabled simply because it was never done properly. We have made a lot of changes now and brought back a lot of the original features of Marapets. Like it or not, many features of the site have no purpose on here if the Caring for Pets is not required. The following update relates to Pet diseases, health and prison. Whenever we say a 'pet is not healthy' this is referring to happiness, hunger and tiredness being neglected and has NO reference to health points used in battling.

The following changes have been made:

· Your pet will need to be cared for and healthy. Happiness, tiredness and hunger changes by 5% approx once every 15 hours. This only happens when you are online - if your pets are at 100% happiness and you do not login for 3 months, they will be at 100% when you come back. Each pet's happiness, tiredness and hunger will show as green when it is healthy, orange when it is unhealthy, red when it is being neglected.

· When you use items, such as food for hunger, toys for happiness, etc a pet's status will now change by 25% instead of 10%.

· If a pet is in the Hotel they will remain healthy without the need to use items. The hotel does not protect from diseases/illness. Queen Bee no longer stings pets that are staying at the hotel.

· All Account Upgrades purchased from now on will receive 25,000MP hotel credit. This has replaced extra blog entries or marasite pages. Every player now has a very high amount of these for FREE.

· Gym, Elite Gym, School and University can not be used by sick or unhealthy pets or pets that are in prison in the same way that job wages cannot be collected.

· If you fail a mission of The Fates only one of your pets will be chosen at random to become sick instead of all of them.

· If you are caught at the Grave Robbing only one of your pets will go to prison instead of all of them.

· The Puchalla Inn quest now allows you to select which pet may earn a charisma stat.

· If you do not pay your Electricity Bill random event, you will be reminded several times to do so. If you still fail to pay the bill after the reminders, one of your pets will be sent to prison.

· Finally, pets can once again die if they are not looked after. There has been a lot of panic and confusion over this but its really quite simple. Undying Woods is named undying because pets do not actually die, they just go to the graveyard here and become zombie costumed that other players can rescue. And it takes quite a lot for it to even get that far! If your pet has any kind of sickness or disease, or it has been neglected health wise (starving, thirsty, tired) and is still not looked after, you will have several warnings that show up similar to random events to warn you of the pet that is suffering. If nothing is done about it, you will be reminded several times more. If you still do not do anything about it, your pet will die and move to the Gate of the Graveyard in Undying Woods. You then have 14 days to visit this place and either pay 50,000MP to save your pet and it will be costumed Zombie. If you do not want it be zombie coloured, you can pay 75,000MP. If you do not do this, after 14 days the pet will move to the Graveyard as a zombie where any player can take ownership of the pet and it is no longer yours.

Account Upgrades are still down for maintenance. We are going through a major upgrade with their system, switching both payments methods and the currency we process payments in. We will no longer have USD$ as the main currency, but will switch to GBP . Those in the US will still be able to purchase Account Upgrades, just like how people in the rest of the world has bought them in their currency, because Google Checkout will charge you in your own currency. It will be no different for you, but it will save us a whole week at the end of the year when we have to work out the taxes!Read the full news
