FLASH GAMES UPDATE
We have been very busy fixing old bugs and glitches in all of our Flash Games. We still have to fix a few small bugs and the send score feature on the latest 5 games, but bugs in the older games have now been fixed! Even Undead Billiards is now glitch free and that game has been broken for nearly 2 years now! We hope to have every bug in every game fixed by the end of next week. If you play any of the games from today and find any new bugs, please post on my blog and we'll get it fixed!

Who likes the new Light Fairy and Explorer costumes?

NEW QUEST
A brand new quest, the Simerian Explorer has just been released in the Lost City of Simeria. The lost city of Simeria is in ruins for an unknown reason. Only recently discovered, the world has so much undiscovered history. Why was the city destroyed? What happened to the rest of the Simerian tribe? There are so many questions to be answered! That is why explorers spend so much time in this world.

If you complete the Simerian Explorer Treasure Map you will be able to find the exact location the explorer is currently at. Once you find him inside this huge world, you will be able to complete his quests. If you bring him the items he needs, he will reward you with MP and maybe even a Rune he found while exploring Simeria. Runes are the key to understanding one of the many ancient langugages in Simeria, and will help you find you way around the Simerian Temples...


The new Simerian Explorer Treasure Map is part of the July Account Upgrades being released later today!

NEW WORLD
A brand new world has just been discovered in Marada. The Lost City of Simeria has just been released. Expect a lot of awesome new places to be added to this map really soon...

We will fix the bugs and release the updated versions as soon as possible. For now, enjoy these 2 games until their final versions are released for you to send score!

SITE UPDATE
As some of you may already know, to help upgrade the site and move it to our new faster and more stable system, we had to completely reprogram a site! It has taken the past 3-4 months to literally start again with the site and code over 3 year's work again. I'm happy to say that the vast majority (approximately 80% of the site) of this has been completed and is now online and running on the site. You may of noticed that as sections of the "new" site were added, these sections had lots of new features added and quite few old ones removed. The main benefit is that they are a lot faster and more stable than before but its also allowed for us to add new features. Auctions can now be for marapals and club members only. Search around the site is a lot faster and we managed to bring back the very useful Attic Search. Blogs can now be commented on. Signatures/fonts/avatars can now be different in Forums, Maramail and Clubs. These are just a few of the many changes that have been made - there is too many to list!

It won't be long now until the rest of the site is finished and all of the remaining glitches and site problems are gone. When that is finished, the site will go down for 4-12 hours of maintenance while we move to our new system. Don't worry though, there will be plenty of warning before the downtime! Until this maintenance, the site may still randomly crash like it has been for the past few months. This is hardware fault that won't be fixed until the move to the new system.

Its been a while since we hid any new Avatars, so here are 11 new ones for you to find!

SITE UPDATE
To improve the site for the future and to limit any lag, downtime and server errors, we have been making hundreds of changes to the site which has consisted of starting again with major sections of the site and changing the way they work! This has and will cause some minor disruption for the next couple of weeks but you will very quickly notice a huge change in the stability of the site, its loading times and with most glitches on the site being fixed. We also have tons of great new stuff coming out this month - including the Olympics and the Undying Festival! We also have a brand new World being discovered in Marada! All we ask is for your patience for the next few weeks. We will keep you updated in the news with all of the major changes around the site as we complete them!

NEW FEATURE
Are you ready to change the colour of your skin? The new Tanning Salon has just opened in Lowlyhood! Its a completely safe, painless spray tan which will permanently change the colour of your character's skin. All you need is a Tanning Salon Ticket. Remember, getting a tan from the sun or from tanning beds/booths is very dangerous. Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the most prominent and universal cancer-causing agent. Excessive exposure to UVA radiation will cause premature aging, including wrinkles, sunspots, and loss of skin elasticity and can cause cancer.

NEW MISSION
We have just released the new Mission Game in Slater Park. The Slater Park Circus has been entertaining visitors and tourists for years. The clowns that own the circus are overworked and need your help. They have 30 different missions for you, each harder than the last. You will need to find balloons, plushies, fast food, soft drinks or pizza and bring them back to them. If you fail to bring any of them, you will have to start again. Before you can start any level of the mission, you must first gain entry to the Circus. Entry can be gained with a Circus Ticket.



Can you find the Circus and Balloon avatars

The Blitzen Mission has changed. There are 5 new Viotto Potions and the amounts of MP have been increased on almost all levels by a lot! The final level now rewards 1,000,000MP! We have also been really busy updating the hundreds of items that Blitzen should and shouldn't ask for. From now on, whenever an item is released, it can instantly be asked for by Blitzen. Also, as soon as an item is retired, it is instantly NO LONGER asked for by Blitzen. Please be aware of both of these before starting a level of Blitzen missions - we will not reset if it asks for an item that has just been released and there is limited or no supply of the item. Resets are only ever granted as a result of a glitch or error.

Introducing the 49th species of Marapet. The Zoosh is limited edition and will be avaliable from the new mission in Slater Park!
