Our Christmas Carol Singing Event has just started. It will end automatically December 31st. Everyone can take part for FREE! You can visit the profile of any player that is currently online, hit the 'Sing Carols' button and you may receive a prize. You can only visit each person once per day and you will receive MP or an item. All of these item prizes will retire at the end of this event too!

If your character is wearing an approved Christmas Costume you are guaranteed an item or MP prize at every visit. Players without the costume can still take part, but on average only a quarter of all visits will receive any kind of prize. This means that players with an approved costume will win 4 times more prizes!






The approved list of Christmas Character Costumes that will work for this event are as follows:

Advent Tree Costume, Angelic Costume, Archangel Costume, Blitzen Justin Onesie, Candycane Costume, Christmas Cake Costume, Christmas Day Costume, Christmas Night Costume, Christmas Onesie, Christmas Pudding Costume, Christmas Reindeer Costume, Devious Elf Costume, Drummer Girl Costume, Elfember Costume, Frosty Tree Costume, Gift Wrapped Costume, Gingerbread Lady Costume, Gingerbread Man Costume, Hamster Onesie, Holly Costume, Jack Frost Costume, Jacqueline Frost Costume, Krampus Costume, Mistletoe Costume, Mrs Claus Costume, Ms Scrooge Costume, Nisse Costume, Polar Bear Costume, Present Costume, Reindeer Costume, Santa Claus Costume, Santa Claws Costume, Santa Elf Costume, Scrooge Costume, Stocking Costume, Toy Sindi Onesie, Tree Costume, Tree Uniform Costume, Vixen Costume, Winter King Costume, Winter Kujo Onesie, Winter Queen Costume, Yeti Costume

We understand there is some frustration and confusion over the Christmas gifting rules and we would like to try to make things a little simpler for everyone at this time of year. The rule was put in place to safeguard hacked accounts and to discourage multiple accounts, it was not really meant to take the joy out of Christmas and stop players from sending items to their friends or from taking part in Secret Santa events. From now until December 25th players can gift items to friends and send Secret Santa items WITHIN REASON.

We realise that all accounts have different values so to set an mps limit is not really fair. You may send items that you can easily afford without your account being left poor or empty. Please remember that staff can see all account transactions and will be watching these closely.

Anyone who tries to use the "Christmas gifting" to send their items/mps to a friend/sibling or multiple account will still have their account frozen along with the receiving account, as per normal procedure. You do so at your own risk and have been warned.

The 2018 Advent Tree prizes have now been released. If you have completed the full set of Advent Tree Instructions, you can now visit the Advent Tree in Biala Mountain to claim your prizes. There are 14 new items to be claimed and this year you will receive 3 of each item! The 2017 prizes are no longer available and have been retired.

Elfember is the season for giving but not every Marapet may deserve to be rewarded. Krampus is back and will be here until January 1st.

High above Biala, in the cold and frozen mountain ranges, lurks the Krampus. Leering down upon the village, he waits every year for his chance to kidnap naughty Marapets! He watches pets all year, keeping a list of the naughty and the nice. As Christmas draws closer and closer, the Krampus reveals himself in the month of December. He offers gifts to especially well behaved Marapets. If you're feeling brave, you can ask him for gifts for your pets. If your pet has been naughty, he might just punish them...



Pets wearing an Advent, Angel, Blitzen, Christmas, Christmas Tree, Elf, Gingerbread, Ice, Polar, Seasonal, Snow, Snowman, Tundra or Winter Costume can visit Krampus every 15 minutes. All other pets can visit every 30 minutes.

The Angel Costume was first released in June 2006 in Account Upgrades and the costume has been retired and forgotten about ever since. A new version of the Angel Account Upgrade has been released, with 7 new Angel themed items and either a Angel coloured Vixen or Kaala Enchanted Plushie. This AU will retire January 15th.




The Basil, Bolimo, Decadal, Eyru, Flab, Jessup, Raulf and Straya can now wear the Angel Costume.



Most of the oldest and worst Angel pets have been updated to match the new style.

There will be 100 winners of 1,000,000MP, 3 winners of £25 Account Upgrades Credit, 10 winners of £10 Account Upgrades Credit and 25 winners of £5 Account Upgrades Credit.

There is a shortage of Gobbles in Marada. With Talon frightened that he will be cooked instead, he has hired a replacement Zurple until December 11th. Zurple is Burple's colourful sister, Burple is Gurple's even uglier cousin and Murple is Burple's best friend's neighbour. Murple is an original Gobble, too ugly and unpalatable to be eaten. Are you brave enough to fight him in the Battle Arena? Visit the Talon Quest page and start a quest. You then battle and win against Zurple and go back to the quest page to complete it. He will reward you with MP or these new Thanksgiving Prizes that will retire after December 11th.
