Our Maintenance is complete and was a success. You should notice the site is much faster, there is less errors and we should not have any more downtime. We will however have a couple of weeks of a few errors and short downtime as we fix the final parts of the site still broken. This should never last more than 30 minutes and we will usually give warnings. To celebrate the successful maintenance, I have put up nearly 10,000 items in Auctions - all starting at 1MP!! There is even a Zombie Costume in there! They all end at random times, between 24 hours and 30 days. We estimate that when the last of these Auctions is finished, in 30 days, the site will have every error and glitch fixed and anything still broken or closed will be working. Happy bidding!!

NEW FEATURE
The Referral System has just been re-released. You can now once again refer new players to Marapets. If you refer enough players with your referral link, you will be able to win awesome prizes such as Rofling Potions and a Mugen minipet! Visit the referral system at the Dukka Caves for more information. You now receive also an alert when you have referred a new player.

MAINTENANCE FINISHED
So far everything has been going to plan. Its taking longer than we first thought and we are also doing alot more now than we originally thought about doing. We are trying to get everything done now, so that in a couple of weeks or months, we won't have to do have anymore downtime to make changes. The site has also grown so much since our last upgrade, that the 6 hour estimate was more like 24 hours - so much data! But, I've got a great team of these new Geek pets helping out and we should be back open soon.

These new Ercuw and Sindi pet colours are now avaliable!

NEW FEATURE
The Marapals system has been upgraded. The new Friends feature plays a much bigger part of the site now. Your friends list is also now on profiles, with your Best Friends showing at the top of the list. Your top 32 friends also show up on the a list when you send items or mail and you can also set up Auctions just for your friends to bid on. Also, when you view your Avatars Collection you can now select an avatar to show on profiles and on the satellite search. The Friends feature will have a lot more features added to it as we develop our Community section of the site - which will soon include new Forums, Clubs and Maramail updates.

MAINTENANCE UPDATE
Our final, yes FINAL stage of Maintenance is happening in a few hours. The site will be going down for between 3 and 6 hours at 3AM MST time. You can see the clock at the top of the site, the site will go down when it reaches 03:00:00 MST. The whole of the site will be closed for these few hours. After the maintenance, the site will be totally upgraded and we will run much faster and will stop crashing. This will mean that there will be no more downtime, lag or Server Errors! It will still take us a couple of weeks to fix/repair some sections of the site that were disabled or broken recently because of the upgrades, but this won't take long when we are on the new system! This new Fire Fairy Costume will be released soon too...

NEW GIFTBOXES
We have just added 6 new Giftbox items to the Account Upgrades page. The Battle Giftbox automatically fully heals your pet after every battle - even if you lose. The University, Gym, Elite Gym and School Giftboxes will allow your pet to complete these in half the time and the Shop Pricer Giftbox will unlock a brand new feature, Auto Price in your shop. This new feature has just been released and will make pricing your shop easier and faster. When you edit your shop stock, you simply press 'Auto Price' and it will complete the prices for you, by checking the Shop Search for the current lowest price of an item and pricing yours at this price. You can then 'Update Prices' if you are happy, or edit/verify any prices. If an item is not on the Shop Search, the Auto Pricer will not price your item. Using any Giftbox on your account is permanent and only required once - it will give you these extra benefits and features for the life of your account!

NEW QUEST
The real Biala Santa likes to give out gifts at Christmas, but cannot afford to do this all year around. To help Santa Claus to afford this, he gives out quests for you to send items to players. He will select a random item, as a christmas gift that you will need to send to the player who last completed one of his quests. But if you were the last person to complete his quest, he will select a player at random who is playing right now. You may also receive an item from someone else when you complete a Secret Santa quest. You will also receive MP from each quest, and may receive a Santa Trading Card!

MAINTENANCE UPDATE
Our week of maintenance is now over and has finally been a success. We have moved most of the site to the new system and you should already notice a huge difference. We are now going through all errors and bugs that are left around the site and fixing them - there isn't that many and none of them are serious, but we want everything working perfectly. We are still waiting for the rest of the new system to be shipped and sent to us, and the current estimate is September 12th. When that arrives, we'll have approx 6 hours of downtime and then after that we should be totally finished. Thanks for your patience the past couple of months!

These 3 new Robot Pets have just been released!

NEW QUEST
