Our Maintenance is now complete and you should finally notice the difference. Marapets is 15 Years Old and is pretty huge in terms of content and data. Any small server hardware or software upgrade here is a massive undertaking but this was the biggest change in many, many years. We upgraded both the hardware, software and network MaraPets uses. It has taken months of hard work to make sure as much was done without closing the site and without much downtime or errors.

For those who are interested, MaraPets was still running on a version of PHP5 (released in 2012, supported until 2014) and although we have had many upgrades of hardware and software since then, we had to finally update everything and bring it to 2019! This meant much of the site had to be re-coded, servers needed newer operating systems and our newer database software required much of the site to be changed to be compatible. To update 15 years of MaraPets in less than 6 weeks was not easy!

We would like to apologise for the last 48 hours of random Server Errors and issues some players have had. In hindsight we shoud have closed for longer - we estimated how much time we could complete the move in but didn't take into account how tired/bad we would feel doing it all so fast on very little sleep. The move is complete now and we should be running better than ever! It will still take another week or so to make sure everything is 100% working - MaraSites for example are still disabled - but it shouldn't be anything major now and we should be running better than we have ever.

As always, we'd like to thank everyone for their patience while we made the move, those who helped test and the Account Upgrade buyers who have helped keep Marapets constantly improving. To celebrate the move, you can all visit the Vault and use the code I-LOVE-PICKLE-JUICE-LIKE-I-LOVE-SERVER-ERRORS to receive a FREE gift from us.

MaraPets will be down for Scheduled Maintenance later this week. We have been working for months on preparing for this move so that it is as smooth as possible. We are moving to new, faster servers with new versions of operating system, PHP and database software. Our current database server has an internal operating system glitch which at times, makes us crash. There isn't anything we can do about it apart from reboot once it happens, but there isn't always someone online to do it. It happened today and as I was asleep and missed it, we had over 2 hours of downtime. This is one of the many reasons for the move but those who have been temporarily moved to the new system this week to help test have all noticed how much faster the site is! We will keep you updated and give plenty of notice before we close and we estimate that the maintenance would take 6 to 12 hours.

The Mutant Ideus, Justin, Mordo, Osafo, Paffuto, Viotto, Vixen, Walee, Yakubi, Yuni and Zetlian have been updated to the newer design. All 77 pets now have the updated Mutant Costume design - we hope you like the changes!
