EASTER EGG HUNT

The 2014 Easter Egg Hunt in Candyland has just started! There are 40 new gourmet Easter Eggs hidden around the site and you have to follow the clues to find them. When you find an Easter Egg, it will be added to your Easter Basket in Candyland. Only when you find all 40 eggs can you collect them - you will receive two of each Easter Egg this year! Also, if you miss the clue, it will now be shown at your Easter Basket. You can also win MP and these new prizes...




There is one IMPORTANT RULE - you cannot list answers or give out answers on the Forums, Blogs or Club Boards, ONLY via Maramail or MaraTalk. Anyone caught giving answers anywhere publicly on the site, or linking to websites with the answers listed on the Forums or Club Boards will be banned from taking part, will have their prizes taken away from them and will be fined up to 100,000MP.





Clue 'The Easter Bunny is back this year
Spreading all his Easter Cheer
Eggs will be found if you follow his lead
To get it all done it's endurance you'll need'

WARNING : You are only allowed ONE account on Marapets. Anyone found to be receiving Easter Egg Hunt items from more than one account will have their account frozen for multiple account abuse.
Using family and friends accounts to gain Easter Egg Hunt items is against the rules.

The Newths have been working hard all week to patch the Computer Virus causing massive disruption in Ziranek. Once a city of the future, Ziranek become dated and unprotected against the hackers of today. To remove every trace of the virus, the whole city was reformatted with the latest operating system and all hardware was upgraded. Thanks to all of your help, the Snowman has sent out enough computer parts to clear the virus from the rest of Marada. The Ziranek map has been revamped, the Snowman is back to normal, the event is now over and all corrupt items are retired. The evil Huthiq from Enpiah that caused all of this mess is a criminal and needs to be caught! Look out for him...

NEW FEATURE
A couple months ago, tishalook ran an official Marapets Clothing Design Contest on the Graphics Forum and the entries we received were so good, we decided to create a permanent Fashion Show feature in Lowlyhood.

You can even print it off and design it by hand, scan or take a photo of it and then email it to us. Then everytime that we receive enough entries, we will pick winners and our artists will create them for the site. Lucky winners will be released in the news, win 100,000MP, a Fashion Show Medal for their profile, receive a set of the items they helped to design and be permanently added to the Fashion Show winners gallery!

EASTER EVENT
The Easter Bunny has made her debut appearance in Marada! Decorate your profile and dress up your character for the celebrations, in pinks and golds and purples. The Easter Bunny will be visiting profiles and you may get rewarded for those who impress her. The Easter Bunny is not like Beelzebub, she is shy and easily scared away! Be nice and she will be running contests, games and giveaways on the Forums - a few lucky winners will receive a retired Lati Potion or Easter Costume, retired Easter Eggs and other great items! Naughty players will scare her away or receive only Carrots.




You do not have to have an easter/spring costume, you can dress up your doll in pinks, golds and purples, brown for a chocolate look or green colours a spring look.

If you are a younger player and you do not have access to Forums you can still take part. The Easter Bunny will visit profiles selected randomly from the Online list so make sure you are ready in case she drops by!

Want to help out? - send us items to the account 'Easter Bunny' for us to use as prizes!

A reminder that the annual Easter Egg Hunt will be starting later this week. This year will be better than ever, with a special suprise in store for all of those who find all 40 Easter Eggs and complete the hunt. Don't miss out!

GIFTBOX UPDATE
The Giftbox items on the Account Upgrades page have been improved. Every Giftbox item has been revamped and they are all now on sale in a brand new Giftbox Shop. Every single Giftbox has had their item description updated, so there should be no more confusion over what each one does! The most confusing 'Transmogrification Time Giftbox' has been renamed to 'Transmogrification Repeat Giftbox' and before you buy in the shop, a pop-up confirmation alert now asks you to confirm your purchase to stop accidental buys! There is also a 'what does this do?' link for each Giftbox so you can easily see what each one is for. Finally, once you have used a Giftbox, the boxes telling you about them will be removed from those sections of the site. For example, the Double Crystals Giftbox message will be removed from Elger quests page once you have used one.




The Giftbox section of every player's profile has been updated. They are now organised alphabetically, link back to the Giftbox Shop and has a progress bar of how many you have collected.

The Account Upgrades page has been updated with new links to the Giftbox Shop, Account Upgrades Shop and the Monthly Checklist - where you can win Account Upgrades credits for FREE each month. Yes, we will remove the 15,000MP entry fee next month so it is actually FREE to enter!

NEW EVENT
Breaking news from Biala! The computer virus that hit the city of Ziranek has been spreading around Marada! Items restocked recently for FREE in Ziranek were infected and spread around Marada by the Snowman quests. The Snowman has become corrupted and is now asking for Computer Parts to be sent to players online, to replace their infected parts. Until a patch is found for Ziranek, the snowman may reward you with these Corrupt items.

NEW EVENT
A hacker from Enpiah has managed to spread a computer virus in Ziranek. Once a world filled with the latest technology, in recent years has become dated and unprotected. All pets of Marada are being advised to stay away from this world until the Newths find a way to fix the damage these Huthiq hackers have caused. But for those willing to risk it, all Shops in Ziranek are now FREE. You can now buy items from the Appliances, Batteries, Computer Parts, CDs, DVDs and Glowing Eggs shops for 0MP until further notice. Each player can buy one item from a Ziranek shop every 5 minutes.


Just a reminder that Easter Sunday is April 20th and our annual Easter Egg Hunt will start next week. Don't miss out!

NOTICE - this news was an April Fool's Day joke and is not a real event.

NEW EVENT
It has been a week since the Pot of Gold event where Zetzilla ate all 1,001,605 items that were donated. He was so full that he has stayed quiet since. Now it seems all of those Baby Costumes he ate have given him the taste for pets too! He has randomly been biting the heads off of your pets.

For the next 7 days, you need to search Marapets for the missing pet heads. Just like the pumpkin hunt, these heads will randomly show up on the page. The more heads that you find, the more prizes you will win. At the end of the event, if every missing head is found, your pets will return to normal! The top 100 players who find the most pet heads will receive a Headless Costume and 1,000,000MP!







There are now 11 new Headless Pets. Basil, Daisy, Echlin, Hump, Kujo, Lorius, Pucu, Willa, Xoi, Zola and Zoosh.

A new Weekly Battle Challenge has just started. This week's opponent is Boo, you will need to have a Boo Trading Card in your Battle Deck. The challenge is to win as many battles against this opponent this week. The top 3 players at the end of the challenge will receive a Hero Trading Card, 200,000MP and a Gold Trophy, the next 6 players will receive 150,000MP and a Silver Trophy and the next 9 players will receive 100,000MP and a Bronze Trophy.
