PET AUCTIONS
After a week long trial of the new Pet Auctions we have made a couple of changes. You can no longer sell Limited Edition or Restricted species of pets. These pets can only be traded for other pets via Pet Trades or Pet Exchange.

NEW FEATURE
We have just released Pet Auctions as a new feature to the site. You can use it to sell any of your pets for MP or to bid for any other pets that are up for Auction. This is the ONLY way that you are able to sell your pet. If you want to send someone a pet, use the Pet Exchange and if you want to trade your pet for another pet, continue to use the Pet Trades.

ANYONE FOUND TRYING TO SELL THEIR PET BY ANY MEANS OTHER THAN PET AUCTIONS WILL HAVE THE PET CONFISCATED AND THEIR ACCOUNT MAY BE FINED OR FROZEN.

IMPORTANT - pet auctions work exactly the same as item auctions. Once you have listed your pet for auction, the highest bidder will become the new owner of your pet for the price that they bid. The buyer will also be charged pet trading fees, which you as a seller will not receive.

We have increased the total number of pets you can have from 24 to 28 with the use of Extra Pet Giftbox items.

Can you find these new Hidden Avatars?



And finally a quick reminder that the Genie and Mad Scientist Account Upgrades will retire on Jan 15th.

NEW FEATURE
We have just released Plate Collections. Similar to the photo albums of each colour and species of pet, you can now collect the plates of each minipet as the ride the Ferris Wheel in Slater Park.

Your Plate Collections have now been added to your Profile.

LOYALTY PRIZES
King Baspinar has added new prizes for all of you players than have been playing here for 5 Years! We have had a lot of people asking why they haven't been receiving Account Upgrade credits from the Loyalty System recently and we would like to remind you all that this was removed months ago because of multiple/old account abuse.

These pets are the first to be able to wear the new Advent Costume! This costume will be released soon...

The Christmas Elf has returned to Marada just in time for Christmas! Make your account look festive with lots of red and green because Elf will be visiting profiles, looking for members with a festive themed doll and rewarding them with gifts. Elf will also be showing up on the forums with give aways for deserving players who have festive dolls, siggies and avatars. You could get rare and retired items or even a festive LE pet.



You do not have to have a festive costume, you can dress up your doll in red, green and gold or silver and white for a frosty look.

If you are a younger player and you do not have access to forums you can still take part. Elf will visit profiles picked randomly from the Online list so make sure you are ready in case Elf drops by.

The Advent Tree will be happening every year as normal but this year it will be changing. We admit that it was a really bad idea that wasn't feasible for us to release so many new clothing items each year. More news of the change will be released soon. It will have different prizes and still be worth its price and those not happy can swap back their map pieces for a refund of the AU credit paid. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The Advent Calender has started. Visit the Biala Mountains every day during the month of December to receive a FREE item and MP. All prizes will retire.



WARNING: PLAYERS ARE ONLY ALLOWED ONE ACCOUNT ON MARAPETS. ADVENT CALENDAR PRIZE COLLECTION IS LOGGED AND IS MONITORED BY STAFF. IF YOU ARE FOUND TO BE USING MORE THAN ONE ACCOUNT TO COLLECT ADVENT CALENDAR PRIZES YOUR ACCOUNT WILL BE FROZEN PERMANENTLY.
