The Giftbox Shop is the latest shop to have all of its art updated
When you visit the Giftbox Shop there is now a red tick next to any item you already have in your Giftbox Collection. We've also used this art revamp as a chance to release the most asked for giftbox items of the past five years of Editorials!
There is a new Time Machine Giftbox, Slate Pyramid Giftbox and Tableaus Giftbox that allow you to use these features twice as often. The new Tombola Giftbox allows you to use the Tombola, Eleka Tombola, Lush Tombola and Undying Tombola every 4 hours instead of the usual 8 hours. The new Double Gumballs Giftbox will give you give you 2 gumballs instead of 1 at the Gumball Machine - this can already be a weekly bronze shield perk but this giftbox will make it every day!
The new Laboratory Giftbox gives you the option to protect your pet from turning into a Mutant whenever you create DNA Minipets at the Laboratory. If you add this Giftbox to your collection you will be able to change the settings for the Laboratory before you use it. If you don't want your pets to change into a mutant, you can change the settings and they'll just gain the Mutant colour Transformation but your pet will remain the same!
Thank you to everyone for their patience the past week or so. As you probably noticed, Marapets had over a week of loading problems, which caused a lot of weird glitches. Several of our hard disks broke at the same time and the disks they fail over to were not as fast as we're used to. To avoid any problems we've had in the past, we closed right away and tried our best to find the best long term solution and install/prepare everything in 48 hours. It took nearly 69 hours but I had to have some sleep ha!
We had plans to move away from all of our last remaining SATA disks (even at 15K RPM they are still so much slower and less reliable than SSD) but they were only here as back up.The plan was to move all of our servers from Canada to the UK in 2020 and replace it then once our Canada lease was up. Last week changed all of this, as we needed Marapets fixed ASAP. We've now extended the lease in Canada for another 24 months and completed all of the upgrades we had planned for 2020 in Canada. Marapets has been hosted in North America for the past 15 years because the majority of players are from there and it meant a faster site for those players. These days, with Cloudflare and fibre connections, it makes very little difference and is more of a hassle to have everything so far away from us.
Don't worry if that made no sense to you, all that matters is that a) we have new hardware and software now and hopefully we'll be good now for many years and b) it was a total success and we should be running the best we ever had.
We will start our Halloween events as planned shortly. Those who changed their pets to Midnight for free training should keep them midnight - midnight is a halloween theme costume and it will be included in Halloween free training.
The Basil, Paffuto, Reese and Tantua can now wear the Thunder Costume.
The Snookle, Speiro, Sybri, Tantua, Troit, Viotto and Vixen can now wear the Slime Costume.

We have SO much happening from now until October 31st, including Character Trick or Treat, Pumpkin Hunt, the Halloween Snowman, limited edition Account Upgrade items, Elger's Trick or Treat, Beelzebub, Pumpkin of Gold, the Halloween Alien and much more!
Are you ready
A certain Halloween devil has been seen lurking around the site again. We all know how much Beelzebub loves Halloween. As usual Beelzebub has all sorts of Halloween goodies to give away to members who are getting into the Halloween spirit and have a halloween-themed character or profile. There are 6 new prizes for 2016 and Beelzebub will also be giving out limited numbers of retired prizes from previous years.
You dont have to have a Halloween costume for your character, just use your imagination and dress your character in some appropriate clothes and makeup to make yourself look appropriately spooky - just be creative!
Although this is mostly a forums-based event, there will also be prizes rewarded randomly to members who are online and have something spooky about their profile, so you may still win something even if you dont have forum access.

The limited edition Cartoon themed Account Upgrades will retire October 19th. This will be your last chance to get the Unnecessary Perfection Instructions from Account Upgrades as they will retire.
The Town Hall has been improved. Every time that you use a 'Username Certificate' you will now own your new username and your current username forever. You can then visit the Town Hall at any time and switch between your usernames for FREE once per hour. Every player can also change their username from lowercase to uppercase at any time for FREE too. Example, if you joined with a username 'mAraPets' you can go to the Town Hall and change it to 'marapets' or 'Marapets' for FREE. Players who use a 'Username Certificate' also have the option to show players their original username, all usernames or keep them all private. All usernames will show on the site search.
If you haven't already noticed, we have made over 500,000 Usernames available by removing some really old, dead accounts.
The Charms shop is now restocking 11 new items.
The Auctions have been improved. They are making good use of the new servers now and are running much faster and more reliable.
We have also completely recoded the Site Search. The new servers have allowed it to be much smarter and more powerful. When you search for items, members or pets it will show you the exact match at the top and all of the results containing your search below. Items now have the 'Price Check' feature, members show those who are online now at the top of the search and when you search for pets, it now shows the pet colour, species and owner.
The Pet High Scores and Greedy Fairy have been improved. Frozen accounts or banned pets will no longer show up and be awarded prizes.
