In the summer they will be. We still have more plans for Marahomes, such as being able to sell furnished homes in a place like the Trading Post and a new quest where you have to build and furnish your home in a certain way to get a prize. When we are happy with the amount of items released for Marahomes, we will release those features and then start on Gardens. Ok, I have an idea, The almighty HOBO COSTUME!! I drew an azul in that costume on paint and was wondering how I could show you guys... ~scent We saw it on your forum topic and its really good! We are always releasing new Costumes so that there is a pet that everyone likes, and a Hobo Costume is on our to-do list. Will the Ercuw pet ever get a mission? Since once the upgrade is gone it is retired and I think retiring pets is an awfull idea. Since you can not sell pets for points or items so why make them retired? ~specter208 The Ercuw, Chibs, Quell, Sindi and any other limited edition pets not released as a mission will never be avaliable from a mission. We release new limited edition pets for missions. How long does it take Laimay to draw a new pet/pet colour on the computer? ~will3456142 Once we have a new idea for a pet, Laimay will sketch it a few times until we are happy with it. This took an hour for the Ercuw, but only 15 minutes for the Sindi. She can then line and colour the pet for the following day. Depending on the detail of a new pet colour, it can take her anytime between 30 and 90 minutes. This is including the battle pose. How old were you and Laimay when Mara was first created? ~cherrythecomputer When we first started I was 14 and Laimay was 18. When we opened I was 15 and Laimay was almost 19. Why do the black gonks not have the teeth, while the other coloured Gonks have the teeth? ~wyntergirlsis The Gonk was designed as a minipet to be given away with an Email Newsletter. Then for April Fools we thought it would be funny to turn it into a fake pet and release with a silly tooth. We never intended to release it, but with the hundreds of tickets and forum topics of people wanting one, we did. Laimay removed the tooth because we like it better without it. The Easter Egg Hunt was cool! Will you do it again? ~karavan500 Glad you liked it! We do it every year starting on Easter Sunday. We started it last year because most other sites avoid doing anything big Easter related because of other religions, but they can still join in and enjoy it! Eventually we hope to release fun things related to other religions too. When are the winners of the April Free Prize Draw being announced? ~jelly3000 Straight after this Editorial. Make sure you all enter the May Free Prize Draw! When will the Marapop Event continue? ~sebthib55 I would like to say this week, but if not, next weekend. Will we be able to seach our galleries like we can our attics? (I love the attic search) ~iammom Our items servers are already being used to their limits so it was difficult to get the Attic Search added. But we'll be moving from Mysql (free database software) to Oracle ($32,000 a year database software) which will permanently fix the items problem. Hopefully then we can add more search features around the site. What is your favorite marapet? ~catsy Definately the Knutt! I love the Recycled Knutt and the Knutt used at Marapets Email. Second favourite is the Ercuw. I have a question...will we ever be able to use the other smilies, besides the Chibs, again? ~Snotty When we finally get MaraTalk out by the end of the year there will be a way that you can buy/unlock new sets of emoticons. Why do you have so many Zombie Pets? ~Ojama Most of my pets died while I was coding the dying feature How long is MaraPets usually down for Maitenance? ~tenniswinner Depends. Planned maintenance the length of downtime is usually estimated (even if its often underestimated and takes longer). But when the site goes offline unexpected, it takes as long as it takes for me or the server company to fix. We always get it online as quick as possible - a blue star from each time zone can also email me at my mobile/cell phone if I'm offline and I come online as quick as possible (even at 3AM). I am currently apalled with "Marapets" these days. I assure you I'm not being harsh but then again yes I am. You see I don't think the management is secure and the layout lacks a lot to be desired. The games are stupid here. The graphics suck. The search browser is slow as crap. And the events are poor. I am stcking up for the best pet site in the world nad frankly, IM CALLIN U OUT! ~cenaishotbaby Laimay and I are very happy that you like it here. When is Maratalk feature scheduled to be released? ~Edgar Later in the year. We delayed it because the quote we got was expensive but we should have it paid by the end of June and then it will take around 3 months to complete. Anytime after that it could be released, but we'll need to test it and prepare other things for it. But definately will be here in 2006 because I have no patience. How did you come up with the name Marapets for the site? ~ChewToy Ever since we started, we wanted the virtual pet site to be as "virtual" as possible and always intended for pets to die if neglected, because it makes sense. So to look for names we googled words like "death" (wouldn't recommend searching it) and then mara eventually showed up. I think it means death in a certain language. How deeply does Marapets affect your life? In other words: how much time do you spend fixing and coming up with new ideas? ~Jash I'd like to say it doesn't but it does. I'd say that on average 6 hours of work is done every day. Not exactly 6 hours every day, because I do have college and I'm always out. But theres been a lot of times where I've stayed home and started work at 9AM and not finished until 6AM the next day. Laimay does around the same, but she doesn't work on Sundays so works more on the other days. Are you planning any big surprises for the future? ~HippyiChick Always Is you real name really Ian... Ian? ~HybridFusion Unless I've been lied to for the past 17 years I'd say yes. Whats the easy way to get good money? ~Fastaslightning Rob a bank. I was wondering if Maramail.com(The email address from marapets) was working or is it just me? ~Romeo688 It was released for a short time for testing and to see how many would be interested in using it, and what potential problems there could be. It will be re-opened in June/July all new and improved. Can you create an Fairy costume? ~looydogfitz Eventually, but it will be Laimay's idea - not mine When are we going to see Baspinar and the inside of Baspinar's Castle? ~baroque The ideas for inside the castle were planned months ago and the sketch has already been completed. It won't be released for quite a few weeks though, we are trying to release a lot more items first. What gave you the idea to create Marapets and do you think it has been successful? ~joel_kaiba I honestly don't remember why we started it. And last month, for the whole of April, we did just over 103 million page views. If thats not being successful I'm not sure what is. It's it true that you can get Maramarried? Because everyone is saying stuff like it?? ~Lily10 It was allowed at first becuase it was funny. But its banned now because some people are not happy just being married. Does Ian/Laimay really read the comments that users post after new news? ~kenny21237 Yes, but it gets boring having to punish the first 50 people who race to SPAM the news to be first. Have started to take 10% of their MP if I catch them twice. Are the word Marada and the pet species Azul based on the spanish 'morodo' meaning 'purple' and the colour blue? Just wondering! ~Torika Yea, I was in Portugal when I named the Azul. But its the same in Portugese and Spanish. Marada was just the only world name with Mara at the start that sounded alright. When will Undead Billiards be working again? I'm quite good at that game and I like it =) ~australian_princess The flash games have nothing to do with me, we have a team of flash programmers hired to do them. We also now have a team of artists hired just for the flash games so Laimay has more time for the site's art. But to answer the question, soon I hope. Catching them online is difficult because they are online while I should be asleep. What do you usually do away from marapets on your Summer Vacation? (towards Ian and Laimay) ~Mousey227 Laimay was working last Summer, but now Marapets is her job. This Summer I might be in Florida for two weeks. But I'll be spending most of the time working because I have lots of big plans to complete. How do you pronounce 'Puchala'? ~Adzrad Pooch-alah |
