HAPPY 13TH BIRTHDAY MARAPETS!!!!
Okay, we are a little early! Marapets will be a teenager on Tuesday but our 13th Birthday Party celebrations have just started. We have 2 new events that will run until September 10th.

Our 13th Birthday Party has started! The Birthday Forum is now open for you all until September 30th. We need your help inviting as many online players to the fun! Visit a user's profile and hit the 'Happy Birthday' button and they will be invited to the party. Each player is different - some won't party, some will and others will have the best time ever! The respone of the character will depend on what prize you receive. You can only invite a player who is currently online and can only invite the same player once every day. Each player can only be invited once every 30 seconds. You will receive MP or one of 24 new Pinatas as a prize.




Hit any of the new Pinatas and you will find one of these new prizes inside...




As you browse and play the site as normal, a 'Birthday Gift' may show up in a box. When you find it, click it and you are guaranteed a prize! You can win all of these new Gift Bags below, MP and if you're lucky, Account Upgrades Credit!

At the end of the event, the top 100 players who collect the most gifts will receive 1,500,000MP and a Partysaurus Trading Card! The next 300 players will win a Partysaurus Trading Card.

15 random players who find 100 or more Gifts will also randomly win a retired Party Costume.

Posting the 13th Birthday Cake image on profiles, siggies, etc is confusing to other players and, as usual, is not allowed. If you are asked to remove the image and do not do so, your account may be frozen until the end of the 13th Birthday celebrations.

Drew transformation changes are a feature intended for the owner of a pet to be able to change their pet to a previous costume or species. If you trade a pet and the transformation history was made by another player you will not be able to use Drew to change this back. Each transformation earned by a pet saves to the player account it came from. If ownership is changed and your pet has a transformation that you did not earn yourself, you will have to earn this transformation again on your account for it to work at Drew from your account.

A new Spring Treasure Chest is on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop. It will automatically retire September 29th.

A new 'Spring Day' experience has been released. Can you find it?

A new Quest has been released in Lowlyhood. Drew is fabulous! He lives for fashion and his goal is to turn all players from drab to fab. If you accept his quest, Drew will ask you to come back wearing certain clothing in colours he chooses. If you can do this within the time limit he will reward you with MP. If he is feeling really generous he will also give you a Dress 4 Less Voucher. Drew will exchange them for a pet Transformation. He looks at all of the different colours and species your pet has been in it's lifetime and will change it back in exchange of these vouchers. The rarer the pet or costume, the more vouchers you will need!

Whenever you use a Costume, Potion or Enchanted Plushie or your pet changes (or doesn't change in the case of the new Vortex Park Reservoir) you receive a Transformation history for your pet. Drew quest means that you can now use his voucher to change your pet to any species or colour it has ever been! This means there will be no more "I accidently portalled my Chibs!" situations. It also makes it easier to take different Photos at the Photo Parlour or change your pet for FREE training or double school/education events! The price of Drew vouchers for each species or costume is subject to change at any time.




Drew has been added to the quests page, your profile counter and Lowlyhood world map.

Can you find the 'Drew' Hidden Avatar?

The Vortex Park Reservoir has finally been released! The Vortex Park Reservoir is polluted, dangerous and off limits to most Maradans.

You can choose one of your pets to take a dip in the reservoir and see what happens. Your pet may gain gym or elite gym stats, school or university stats. Your pet may also gain transformations that will be very useful for the Drew quests or change costume without any risk of your pet changing species!

We would first like to apologise for the past 4-6 weeks of Marapets Maintenance issues. Normally we would keep you all updated but this time we had to keep quiet as we were running on much less server power than normal and making this public, somebody could have used this information to crash us! Half of the problem was that we purchased all of our current infrastructure at once, 5 years ago. We had 24 different 15KRPM SSCI hard drives and they were failing at one per week! We had ordered many spares and were replacing them as they failed. The issue was that as one disk failed, more load was transferred to others, making them fail even quicker! This sometimes resulted in random crashes that took a while to recover.. several crashes in the past month! We decided to replace all 24 disks with faster SSD drives now which cost a lot to purchase all at once and also took up a lot of time to replace, as we replaced 4 at a time without the site going down.


When we set up our infrastructure 5-6 years ago, we used high performance InfiniBand for our network. This is amazingly fast and worked well for us for many of those years. As the years went by, less and less software and updates were compatible with IB and 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) got much cheaper. Last month we had 24 hours of maintenance where we switched from InfiniBand to 10GbE. This was a complete success and many players almost instantly noticed how much faster Marapets was running... until the timeouts and appeared! This was mainly down to our older hard drives being replaced and rebuilt in the background.

All of this maintenance has now been completed

Everything *should* now be back to normal and running faster than ever. All of our time has been spent on this maintenance and the next couple of days will be spent fixing any of other errors that we have missed.

We would like to thank you for your patience and normal news updates should now be back!

*fingers and toes crossed*
