The Birthday and London 2012 Account Upgrade items will retire in 3 days. We will also be retiring the Native AU, Enchanted Vixen Plushies and the Simerian Explorer Map on 31st August.

There are now 67 new Enchanted Dips. You can dip your pet into one of these Enchanted Dips and it will change into a random colour. The pet species and dip need to match, for example, you can only dip a Rofling into an Enchanted Rofling Dip. They then turn into normal dip items which are Gourmet Food. You will find out soon how to get hold of these.




Remember that the Birthday Event will be ending in 2 days.

NEW FEATURE
The Weekly Quest Challenge has just been released. Every Thursday at 00:00MST a random Quest Game is chosen and a new challenge begins. The challenge is to complete as many of these Quests in this week. The top 3 players at the end of the challenge will receive a Retired Costume, 200,000MP and a Gold Trophy, the next 6 players will receive 150,000MP and a Silver Trophy and the next 10 players will receive 100,000MP and a Bronze Trophy. Potential quests in the challenge are those listed in the 'Quests' section of the games page and include the Aquarium, Knutt House, etc.



This weeks Quest Challenge is...
Candy Tree!!!


Insideout Costume

The Weekly Quest Challenge has been added to the Lowlyhood map and the 'Other Games' section of the Games page.

For a limited time, you can purchase 3 random pieces of the Simerian Explorer Treasure Map in the Account Upgrades.



Can you find the new 8th Birthday Hidden Avatar?

The restricted Justin pet is now avaliable in snow, native, princess, burnt, prison and mutant colours.



The chances of winning a Robot Minipet at the Robot Repair has been increased.

These new Nino Plushies have been added to the Plushie Machine.



The Tasi looks awesome with the Water Costume!!

NEW FEATURE
This ancient Temple has been opened for you to explore. Its very dangerous, so you can only send in one pet at a time and while the pet is inside the temple, you cannot trade or exchange the pet. Make sure you are prepared - the temple has many obstacles, 30 levels some say, but not many have made it all the way to the treasure deep inside! While inside the temple, your pet will notice many closed, locked doors which can only be opened by the hidden knowledge of Bug, Fish and Robot Minipets.

At each level of the Temple, you will get a prize. It can be either items, currency, pet stats or Account Upgrade Credit. There is no time limit for completing the Temple, but you can only complete one level every 12 hours. If you manage to reach level 30, you will be able to choose any Hidden Avatar you are missing and it will be added straight to your collection. We believe that this is a fair way for newer players to get hold of retired Avatars that are no longer avaliable to them.






The new Temple of Tableaus has been added to the Lost City of Simeria map.

There are 12 new Musical Instruments. 6 are now restocking in the Dukka Caves Musical Instruments shop, 2 are restocking at the Desert Spy Shop, 2 are at the Pirate Ship, 1 is at the Olympic Redemption Shop and the final one is in Rapunzel's Tower.




The Maradan Bank in the City of Marada has been revamped.

The Angel and Zombie Justin and the Rainbow and Love Murfins are now avaliable.


The Native Account Upgrades will be retired on 31th August. The limited edition Tasi pets will NEVER be avaliable at the Account Upgrades again.

NEW FEATURE
The Genie has been added to the Kamilah Desert world. You can visit once a day and she will grant your pet a FREE wish. One day, while Kamilah Traveller was searching for the lost Kamilah Pyramid, he stumbled accross a shiny golden lamp. He was thousands of miles from civilisation and had run out of supplies. He was so thirsty he shook the lamp up and down hoping for some water and to his suprise the magical Genie appeared to grant him three wishes. His first wish was for food and water, his second wish was for a restricted Hump pet to help him in his travels and his third wish was to find the Kamilah Pyramid. The Genie granted all 3 wishes and he was so happy that he left Genie's Lamp in the town of the Kamilah Desert for all Maradans to use.



There are now 67 new Jars of Essence - one for each species of pet. If you are extremely lucky you may receive one from the Genie. These will turn your pet into a random colour of the species shown on the bottle. For example, using an Essence of Quell on your Addow pet will change your pet into a random colour of Quell.

PET UPDATE
The Walee pet has been revamped! We have also added the missing, basic colours. We hope you like it!

The Willa looks awesome with the fire or cheese costume on!

The Drake Avatar has been released.

REFERRAL SYSTEM
We have listened to your feedback and complaints about the difficulty some of you have with the Referral System. We have made 2 big changes. First, the old, closed Promote Marapets feature has been closed and removed for good now. The prizes will soon be restocking at the Smuggler.

The second change is that you can now receive referrals by bringing back Old Players to Marapets, as well as bringing us new players. You can use the same referral URL and send to anyone you know that used to play Marapets and haven't logged in for more than a month. They will need to login and show some kind of activity. We cannot reveal too much information about what counts as a new or old player referred but staff manually process referrals and use all information we have avaliable. It can take upto 14 days for a referral to be processed and you will not know if it has been rejected.

REMINDER - you are only allowed ONE account. Players caught using more than one account will have ALL of their accounts frozen.

The Oglue can now wear the brown and digital costumes. We have also updated 9 of its previous costumes to the new and improved version.

Back in May 2011, we decided to revamp the limited edition Rofling pet. We were never 100% happy with it, so we never updated its costumed versions. We have now decided to bring back the old, original style of Rofling. They have been redrawn and cleaned up, but here they are!

BIRTHDAY EVENT
We have just started our 8th Birthday Party celebrations event. Its FREE for anyone to take part and win some free MP and prizes! Your job is to invite as many players currently online to our party. We won't be going to the party, but our characters will be!

Visit a user's profile and hit the 'Happy Birthday' button and they will be invited to the party. Each player is different - some won't party, some will and others will have the best time ever! The respone of the character will depend on what prize you receive. You can only invite a player who is currently online and each character can only party once every 2 minutes.

Your goal is to get as many players to the party as possible before the event ends on 26th August. If you invite a player and they have a great time, they will also receive 1,000MP. At the end of the event, the top 200 players who can get the most players to go to the party will also receive a Party Costume and 1,000,000MP!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARAPETS
Marapets first opened 8 Years ago today! We would like to thank you all for playing, especially those who have stuck with us from the the early years! A MASSIVE thank you for the staff of Marapets, past and present, for all the hard work and support too - without them we would have no Marapets! To celebrate, a week long BIRTHDAY EVENT will start tomorrow! It will be FREE to enter and anyone can take part.

We have updated the site layout again to complete the side bar and add the new logo. We decided to imitate the first ever Marapets Logo from 8 years ago when we opened, but with the new Murfin. We hope you like it!

The Frontpage of the site has been updated for all players when they are logged in. It is a lot neater now and also shows your progress of the various missions, temples, pyramids and goals.

There are 4 new pets wearing the Starry Costume - Chibs, Willa, Justin and Vixen.

NEW LAYOUT
We have just updated the Marapets Site Layout. It isn't finished yet, there will be many more changes over the next couple of days but we hope you like the changes so far! We still need to update our logo, the bottom of the site pages, the feeds, alerts and mail icons and finish the roll over effect of the links. The Log Out link has been removed and is now only on the Home Page. When we are completely satisfied with it, the Night Time version of the layout will also be completed.
