All Server Upgrades have now been completed. It has taken us over four months to get the money to afford it and has taken almost 60 attempts but we know have the site running in the perfect set up for us. We have 20 servers all networked and running together to make the site very fast for you all, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with no downtime. We would like to once again thank you all for your patience throughout all this time, as there have been lots of problems, glitches, errors and downtime while we set it all up. Most of these errors have already been fixed, but any that have not, please let us know. Also, for those who have been with us in the past when we have had problems, we now have daily backups on all 20 servers to ensure that no data is ever lost. A special thank you for all of those who have donated and helped make all of this possible.

There are 12 new Jobs now avaliable at the Job Centre in the City. There is now a wide range of different stats and income for you to find a perfect job for your pet. We have finally released Job Promotions, which means that a new random event will show up for you to move to a higer position than the one you are currently in. However, higher positions require higher stats but also have a higher income. Your pet could start as Homecoming Queen on 90MP a day and after 8 promotions become a Supermodel on 1550MP a day! Remember that you can have upto 8 pets all with their own jobs, so make sure that you are training and attending the school for the highest paid jobs!


The Prison has been released! The Maradan Prison is where pets are confined when they have committed a crime. Crimes can range from using illegal items, your pet getting caught having an illegal job or just by not paying our bills - either way, imprisonment is the only way to punish them. The prison will be added to the city later today, for now please click on the prison image below.

If your pet does ever get caught commiting an illegal offence, such as using an Illegal Concoction or with a job like a Computer Hacker, here are some of the Prison Costume pets. There is one for all 25 marapets and a costume too!


The default Yakubi and Newth avatars have now been updated.

The latest pet revamp is my favourite so far. The Knutt has been updated and has much more character. It was gigantic and strange before and I now have a Green Knutt! Hope you like it too...


RESTOCK CHANGES - The restock system of the site has been completely updated. Yesterday you may have seen a huge amount of items restock. This was to quickly balance the site from our recent item problem. Restocks are now fairer, less predictable and overall restock more often. Another important change is that you can no longer restock more than one shop at a time and you can no longer remember the link to an item you are restocking. This means that there is nothing other than internet connection speed that will make restocking unfair. We hope you appreciate the changes.

We have two new Hidden Avatars. It looks like the last three that were released are not working. They should be fixed as soon as these are activated today.

This is how the newly revamped Yakubi looks! We never really like the original Yakubi that much and it now has a lot more character to it!


The deault Leido Avatar has been updated.

All of our new Servers have now finally been set up. It may not seem like it, but for the past 4 months we have been trying to get the perfect set up for Marapets so that in the future we can easily expand without having to limit what we have to offer! Please be patient and expect a few problems and random downtime this week. You should notice that from next week that downtime will be a thing of the past and that now we have all of the servers set up, we can get back to daily news updates!

The Newth is the latest pet to be revamped. We hope you really like the changes!


If you haven't noticed already, we have added the link to MaraTalk underneath the side bar. We haven't told you much about it recently, but it will be a free downloadable program simililar to many popular instant messengers where you can login with your Marapets account (over 13s only) and chat to other members in real-time. There are TONS of unique features coming along with it, and its looking great...

Pet Profiles and Maramail have new icons - they look much nicer now.

And finally, as we haven't had an new Avatar in a while, here is three new ones!

Maramail has been updated! Thanks to the support of all members, we were able to get Maramail its own server. You can now store upto 1,000 maramails! You can also now Archive mail you need to keep, report mail easily and you can also quickly send mail to your Marapals! There is also a very cool Maramail Search for you to search through your saved messages for the ones you need!

We reached 200,000 Members!!! To celebrate, the second we reached 200,000 members 2 members who were online were randomly sent an Enchanted Chibs Plushie! Congratulations to jofa and mathwiz!

Galleries have now been released. You can get to them by going to Enpiah for now. We will add a link to your profiles later in the week, but for now this is the only way. Your gallery size and your shop size are the same. You can also use one of its cool features to chose which order you would like items to load in your gallery!

We have also re-coded Shops and the Shop Search. The user shops are for selling items only now, so EVERYTHING you put in there is buyable (except for hidden items at 0MP). You can also sell items for upto 250,000MP in your shop. Shop Sizes have also returned.

Trades and Auctions have also been re-coded. Completed auctions and trades are now stored and processed together by the server to avoid any errors. Please check the status page for an estimated time - although it should only take 1 minute maximum to process.

We would like to thank you all for your patience this week while we have been re-coded lots of the site to prepare it for our server changes. All errors should be fixed by tomorrow. If we can collect enough money this month we should be able to afford the hardware we need. Lots of big projects on the way...

The Leido has been revamped now. The new one is alot nicer!


There are three new Avatars hidden.. can you find them?

NEW FRONTPAGE - We have finally changed the frontpage of Marapets. It has only ever changed twice in the 13 months we have been open, but this time the change is staying. We hope you like the changes - it should really help us attract new members who do not know what we have to offer.

We now have new Club Poll and Club Quiz systems. They look much better and work now!

There is a new Secret Blog for you to find! Its been so long since the last one...

Sorry for the lack of news updates recently. The site is constantly being worked on but some of it we have decided not to add to the news, such as server changes and improvements, until it is all completed. Please be patient.

NEW SHOP - Illegal Concoctions has now opened up on the planet Enpiah. However, as the technology in Ziranek is still not advanced enough to get to the planet, please click on the shopkeeper below to get there. Enpiah should be out within the next few weeks.

How do you find this Mechanic Avatar?

There are now nine new Wardrobes restocking in the furniture shop.

NEW LAYOUT - Our brand new layout has been introduced. Most of you know that our old layouts were very very basic, and ugly, just to make them load faster and less demand on the servers. Now we do not have to worry about this and have our brand new server. After testing it with some browswers and some computer's resolutions we found that having adverts on the right made the whole layout too wide so we have moved them to the top - it was not by choice, but they actually do not look too bad there. Hope you all like the changes!!

We thought you might to know what is happening next, as Marapets continues to improve th quality of some of its very old content. We are revamping the normal poses (basic colours only) to 19 of our Marapets. These drawings were done over a year ago, when quality was not top on our list! Here is a preview of how the new Equilor will look!

Oooh.. a Water Avatar!

There are now nine new Baths restocking in the furniture shop. All of the other furniture was not added because the furniture shop was hidden and it was unfair. Now it is in Minipet Island and all new furniture is restocking.

It has been so long since we have had some new avatars, but this Laiyee Avatar has now been hidden!!

MARAMAIL UPGRADES - As so many people have contacted us asking for an email address from Marapets, we have come up with Maramail Upgrades! We have tried to keep it very cheap, at $2.50 one time donation per 25MB space. For more information, please go to your Maramail inbox.

After such a long time, the Zax and Rainbow avatars have finally been fixed. Sorry for the delay, and to make up for it, here is how to get them. For the Zax, you need t equip it to a pet of the same colour and view it. The Rainbow avatar is gained by viewing a rainbow minipet equipped to your rainbow pet.

The Terms and Conditions to the site have changed. Please read them.

All users over 13 will now have to verify their account with an email address in order to take advantage of certain parts of the site. There is also now a new Preferences page!

Nine new site images have been added. These include the new Privacy Policy, Shop Search and Terms and Conditions images. We will continue to improve and update out dated images over the next few weeks.

A new News system has been introduced. It will now be much easier to view old news. We have deleted all news from last year as it was filled with broken images and wrong information.
