NEW PLOT - City of Marada Recession

Part 5
King Baspinar has spoken! He is going to do whatever he can to make sure that the City of Marada comes out of its economic recession as quickly as possible - or atleast for the time being, try and stop it getting worse and turning into a depression, or a war. He has just released the first part of his Stimulus Package! You will receive 1 Stimulus Point for every quest you complete and for every item that you restock from any of the main restocking shops (this does not include stores with items always in stock or user shops).

The King of Marada hopes that this will help boost the economy which the City of Marada really needs right now! A City Recession Stimulus Shop has just been opened in the City of Marada under the order of the king. These items will all retire at the end of this event! Lets hope the King knows what he is doing and that a future War has been stopped...

NEW PLOT - City of Marada Recession

Part 4
The City of Marada is in turmoil! The city Job Centre has stopped paying wages to all of its employees - they still have jobs, but until the economy improves, all employees are on mandatory unpaid leave from work. Maradans are desperately waiting for the King of Marada to step in and do something about it!

There have been talks of more strikes, bankruptcies and even threat of a civil war breaking out accross Marada, as other worlds are starting to get hit by the side effects of the City's recession. Hopefully something is done about this soon, we would hate for it to lead to a war or a deep, long term depression...

Can you find these very organic Hidden Avatars?

NEW PLOT - City of Marada Recession

Part 3
The Bank of Marada has just announced that it has lowered its interest rates to 0% and has therefore stopped giving out daily interest. Credit markets have been going into freefall and the Stock Market has totally collapsed with no sign of any immediate rebound. In the latest outlook on the Maradan economy, analysts predict a deepening recession that will affect the rest of Marada if the City doesn't do anything about it soon!

In other news, the Post Office is the latest shop in the City to declare bankruptcy, with Stamps currently no longer restocking.

Sorry for the unexpected, unplanned downtime we have had for most of the day. One of our routers died and had to be replaced. This closed off about a quarter of the site and we found it necessary to simply close the site until it returned. Its the first major downtime we have had all year and we hope that it doesn't happen again. Thanks for your patience and understanding!

NEW PLOT - City of Marada Recession

Part 2
With the recent bankruptcy of Trevor's Car Parts store in the City of Marada, the Maradan Bank has been reviewing some of the bad loans it has been providing to Maradan companies. News quickly spread to Puchalla Village where panic selling of shares has reached the Maradan Stock Market.

The Stock Market has now collapsed, with shares in all companies down and selling at -1,000MP per share! Shares in Car Parts are down -1070.9%!

ACCOUNT UPGRADES
A new, very special Thanksgiving themed account upgrade has just been released in time for US Thanksgiving celebrations. This is a one-off celebration as the majority of the site do not celebrate it.

This Account Upgrade will *RETIRE* in only 2 weeks on Dec 2nd!!

It is a very unique upgrade pack as the main prize is a Restricted Pet Gobble. You will receive a thanksgiving themed cd, book, dvd, pearl, costume, stamp, minipet and random colour of a Gobble Potion.

The Gobble pet will only ever be avaliable from these Account Upgrades. It is restricted and therefore cannot be gained from any other Temple or event. You literally only have these 2 weeks to get hold of one as it will not be in Account Upgrades again any time soon!

NEW PLOT - City of Marada Recession

Part 1
With the fuel prices increasing this year, more and more Maradans have been leaving their cars at home and using more public transport or walking - some have even taken Elger's advice and have been travelling on the more fuel efficient Broomsticks!

The fall in car sales has started to hit Trevor recently and today he has declared bankruptcy. Until he can afford to pay his creditors at the Maradan Bank, he has been forced to close his Car Parts Shop.

NEW PET
Introducing our 62nd species of Marapet. The Gobble is a restricted pet and will be released as part of a new Thanksgiving Account Upgrade for November - it will never be released in Account Upgrades again!

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 earthly wisdom an Organic Minipet holds.

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 24 hours. If you manage to reach level 30, you will be able to choose any Stamp you are missing from your Stamp Album. You will not receive the item, it will be added straight to your Stamp Album.






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

We finally have Gardens for our houses. Every home automatically comes with a plot of land outside which is your Garden. The bigger the home, the bigger the Garden. You can plant Seeds in the garden and they will need to be watered with Pottery items you have filled with water at the Lush Lake. If you water a plant when it doesn't need watering it will die. If you water it when it needs watering, eventually it will grow into a Flower. You can then turn that flower into a new Organic Minipet if you have a Fertiliser item!
