67 of the Default Avatars have been updated with new artwork.







There have been many, many changes to do with Caring for Pets. Although we have grown over the years in content, Marapets is and will always be a Virtual Pet Site. The name Marapets was chosen because 'mara' was a reference to death and Marapets would die if not looked after. Over the years this was disabled simply because it was never done properly. We have made a lot of changes now and brought back a lot of the original features of Marapets. Like it or not, many features of the site have no purpose on here if the Caring for Pets is not required. The following update relates to Pet diseases, health and prison. Whenever we say a 'pet is not healthy' this is referring to happiness, hunger and tiredness being neglected and has NO reference to health points used in battling.

The following changes have been made:

· Your pet will need to be cared for and healthy. Happiness, tiredness and hunger changes by 5% approx once every 15 hours. This only happens when you are online - if your pets are at 100% happiness and you do not login for 3 months, they will be at 100% when you come back. Each pet's happiness, tiredness and hunger will show as green when it is healthy, orange when it is unhealthy, red when it is being neglected.

· When you use items, such as food for hunger, toys for happiness, etc a pet's status will now change by 25% instead of 10%.

· If a pet is in the Hotel they will remain healthy without the need to use items. The hotel does not protect from diseases/illness. Queen Bee no longer stings pets that are staying at the hotel.

· All Account Upgrades purchased from now on will receive 25,000MP hotel credit. This has replaced extra blog entries or marasite pages. Every player now has a very high amount of these for FREE.

· Gym, Elite Gym, School and University can not be used by sick or unhealthy pets or pets that are in prison in the same way that job wages cannot be collected.

· If you fail a mission of The Fates only one of your pets will be chosen at random to become sick instead of all of them.

· If you are caught at the Grave Robbing only one of your pets will go to prison instead of all of them.

· The Puchalla Inn quest now allows you to select which pet may earn a charisma stat.

· If you do not pay your Electricity Bill random event, you will be reminded several times to do so. If you still fail to pay the bill after the reminders, one of your pets will be sent to prison.

· Finally, pets can once again die if they are not looked after. There has been a lot of panic and confusion over this but its really quite simple. Undying Woods is named undying because pets do not actually die, they just go to the graveyard here and become zombie costumed that other players can rescue. And it takes quite a lot for it to even get that far! If your pet has any kind of sickness or disease, or it has been neglected health wise (starving, thirsty, tired) and is still not looked after, you will have several warnings that show up similar to random events to warn you of the pet that is suffering. If nothing is done about it, you will be reminded several times more. If you still do not do anything about it, your pet will die and move to the Gate of the Graveyard in Undying Woods. You then have 14 days to visit this place and either pay 50,000MP to save your pet and it will be costumed Zombie. If you do not want it be zombie coloured, you can pay 75,000MP. If you do not do this, after 14 days the pet will move to the Graveyard as a zombie where any player can take ownership of the pet and it is no longer yours.

A new Weekly Item Contest has just started. This week's item is Jessup Staff, you will need to send this item to the 'Challenge' account. The challenge is to send as many of this item to 'Challenge' this week.

We would like to apologise for the unscheduled Site Maintenance since Wednesday. So much had changed with the servers since the February crash - new hard disks, new software, etc and we were still having random, unexplained crashes. We had 3 server kernel panics this month alone! The issue was that many of our servers in the cluster were running different versions or had other slightly different configuration. They were being fixed one by one but it was taking far too long. We took the decision after the Wednesday crash to keep the site down and just do a fresh install of all servers at once. We thought we could bring 50% up within 12-24 hours and therefore downtime was limited. This wasn't the case and with the many issues we ran into along the way, it took 4 days altogether! The good news is that it was a complete success. Everything is now consistent, stable and should run without any issue or lag. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

The Invisible Account Upgrade package has been put back on sale for 3 days.

The Astro, Ideus, Ike, Kidlet, Knutt, Poera, Vlad, Walee, Yakubi and Zola can now wear American Costume.
