BREAKING NEWS
Borak has had such a negative response from the residents of Marada, he has stopped trying to change the weather. Hours after he stopped, the
Rain has returned. The
Rainy Account Upgrade that was supposed to
retire today has been extended by a week.
The Chibs, Decadal, Hump, Leido, Renat and Xoi can now wear the
Rainy Costume.
For those who missed it last time it was
Raining in Marada, the following is happening again...
Heatwave items are not retired but now that it's raining and not a heatwave in Marada, they are not currently available. If you haven't already noticed, Marapets has a new rainy layout and the Cleaning Products shop also has a new shopkeeper!
Completing a level on any
Mission during this rain and you'll win one of these new
Umbrellas for your Wardrobe.
The
Books,
CDs,
DVDs and
Video Game Shops all have a
2 for 1 special on all items to help you keep your pets entertained inside while it rains.
The rain has made the
Lake in Lush Lake flood. For your own safety, you cannot currently visit.
With
Lush Lake flooded from the rain, the
Coffee,
Contact Lenses,
Hair Dye,
Lipsticks and
Olympic Shops are all closed.
With the miserable rainy weather outside, pets are concentrating better at School, the Gym, Elite Gym and University and earning
Double Stats.
Pets are all working harder at their jobs as it rains outside. This means there is
TRIPLE the chance of receiving a
Job Promotion random event and
DOUBLE the chance of the promotion actually being given by your pet's boss!
This rain has the residents of Marada doing a lot more indoor activities, like
Shopping. But it also is a chance for
Shopkeepers like you to increase your shop sales and the amount of items you have on sale! Upgrading your
Shop Size is currently
Half Price!
And finally, Queen Eleka will be giving out extra
FREE Loyalty Raffle Tickets for players who fill up and price their own
Shops. While she won't reveal her secret formula, the more new items you add and price in your Shop, the more extra tickets she will give out!
Major changes have happened with our
Friends and
Feeds features.
There is now an
Activity Log on each player's profile. It's a page that puts together some of the public features of Marapets, like your topics and blogs with a few other things you acheive, such as complete a goal, find an avatar, complete a mission or take a selfie and shows this in a timeline.
The old feeds feature allowed you to subscribe to a certain player's trades, topics, blogs etc and be notified whenever they used these.
Feeds are now a
News Feed based on what
your friends are doing and what you subscribe to. You can now click on the friendship icon on any player's profile and change the settings for each player. You can allow or block them from contacting you from certain features and you can also subscribe to their activity, just like before.
By default, what your friends are doing will show on your brand new
News Feed. This will be expanded over the next few months with much more options on what you would like or not like to share with other players. There will also be more options to allow any player, just friends (or totally disable) comments on your activity.
You have total control over what shows on your News Feed. You can click on any friend from your News Feed or click on the Friendship icon on any player's profile and change what you follow, what you don't, if they can contact you or not and many other options.
This is a brand new feature and is obviously very complex. If you have any issues, please report them so that we can fix and improve this right away. Once we're happy this all works as it should, we will start to add more features to it.
What is the point of the new News Feed?
Our Maramail/MaraTalk features allow you to contact players in private and our Alerts keep you notified of any game related notifications.
News Feed is and will be for more social parts of the site. If you create a topic, notifications will go here rather than popup and bother you as you play.
One of your best friends just started a mission and has 30 minutes to go and may fail. You will see this on your news feed and you may have the item they need to be able to help them pass.
A new Hidden Avatar is released - 4 or 5 of your friends have found it. You can see this now on your news feed and ask them for the solution. Or a friend finds an avatar you've been stuck on - you can see this and ask to borrow their pet.
There are many different benefits (or not for some people) to these new news feed to see what your friends are doing. If you don't care or don't want to see these, you have total control over what you see or don't miss!
Happy New Year
It's 2020 and we have a fantastic year ahead of us at Marapets! Sadly, it also means the end of our
Flash Games. If you did not already know, on December 31, 2020, Adobe Systems will officially stop updating and distributing Adobe Flash. It had already had limited or no support on most browsers and all mobile devices.
As flash will be totally obsolete by the end of 2020, we decided to start 2020 without it. This sadly means that all of our Flash Games no longer award any MP, Score Points or item prizes.
The 2 levels of
Candyland Goals and the level of
Undying Woods Goals and the
City of Marada Goals have both been changed to remove the flash game requirements.
The
Monthly Checklist also does not require you to play these games this month either. Other changes will be made later this year.
The Azul, Crindol, Dakota, Decadal, Echlin, Fasoro and Kidlet can now wear the
Recycled Costume.
BREAKING NEWS
It seems that now Christmas is over, the citizens of Marada have stopped bringing
Borak enough frozen items to keep making snow! While it's raining,
Carol Singing obviously can not continue.
The Arinya, Fasoro, Gonk, Kidlet, Kronk, Osafo, Phanty, Rusty, Troit, Viotto and Zoosh can now wear the
Thunder Costume. This costume has joined the growing list of costumes that ALL 77 pets can now wear! This costume is a prize from the Greedy Gertrude mission.

Marapets is now... Mobile!!!Turning 10 Years Old (back in August 2014) was a huge milestone. A DECADE of Marapets. The internet had changed a lot since we started in 2004 but the way most things were done here had hardly changed since we opened.To survive another decade, we needed to make a lot of changes. One of the hardest things for us to do was to explain what Marapets even was! If you had no idea about pet sites, it was confusing. So we gave Marapets a story, goals, rewards, collections.. and just made the site easier for everyone. We started to update our old artwork, trying to make everything more consistent. We changed or removed features that no longer made sense. We started to migrate away from flash (which will no longer work on most of the internet from next year). And finally, we started to go through every part of Marapets, section by section and start again. Rather than have a site built for desktops, we started to build it for the smallest
Mobile Devices.
We're now pleased to announce that Marapets is fully
Mobile Friendly and the whole site responds to the device you are playing on. If you are playing on a Mobile or Tablet, this new design will automatically load when you are in portrait mode. Rotate the device to landscape mode and the normal,
Desktop Mode of Marapets will automatically load. We understand that not every one wants a responsive design - you can switch between Mobile and Desktop by clicking the
Switch to Desktop Mode link at the bottom of every page of the site.
We've had months of testing but with so many different devices and browsers out there, we can never be 100% perfect first time. If you experience any issues, please let us know at this
Mobile Errors topic. Thank you for all your patience over the past year or so with places changing and constantly updating - it should finally now all start to make sense!
The Blitzen Costume was first released in December 2010 in Account Upgrades and the costume has been retired and forgotten about ever since. A new
Blitzen Account Upgrade Set has been released, with 7 new Blitzen themed items, a
retired Blitzen Costume and either a Blitzen Enchanted Plushie or Blitzen Potion. This set is on sale until
January 31st. You can choose if you would like the main prize to be an Enchanted Blitzen Plushie or Potion. There is 1 in 3 chance you will receive a limited edition
Vixen instead of Equilor, Kidlet, Reese or Xoi.
The Dakota, Grint, Reese, Straya, Yuni and Vixen can now wear the
Blitzen Costume.
Seven pets have been updated to the new
Blitzen style. The Blitzen Basil, Chibs, Fasoro, Figaro, Flab, Justin, Kidlet, Limax, Snookle, Willa and Xoi will be updated to the new style shortly.
Krampus has been edited to make pets sick 50% less often and will instead reward MP.
Ice Fairy pets are now included in all Christmas events.
The
Advent Calendar and
Krampus have been added to the site reminders box. You won't be able to turn these off but they will disappear once these events finish.

School and
University lessons will receive
DOUBLE STATS until December 31st for all pets wearing Advent, Angel, Blitzen, Christmas, Christmas Tree, Elf, Gingerbread, Ice, Ice Fairy, Polar, Seasonal, Snow, Snowman, Tundra or Winter Costumes.

Gym has just started

A new set of limited edition
Elfember items are now on sale at the
Account Upgrades Shop. They will all automatically
retire December 31st. The Christmas Overalls are an approved
Carol Singing Costume for this year and all future events.
Elfember is the season for giving but not every Marapet may deserve to be rewarded.
Krampus is back and will be here until
January 1st.
High above Biala, in the cold and frozen mountain ranges, lurks the Krampus. Leering down upon the village, he waits every year for his chance to kidnap naughty Marapets! He watches pets all year, keeping a list of the naughty and the nice. As Christmas draws closer and closer, the Krampus reveals himself in the month of December. He offers gifts to especially well behaved Marapets. If you're feeling brave, you can ask him for gifts for your pets. If your pet has been naughty, he might just punish them...
Pets wearing an Advent, Angel, Blitzen, Christmas, Christmas Tree, Elf, Gingerbread, Ice, Polar, Seasonal, Snow, Snowman, Tundra or Winter Costume can visit Krampus every
15 minutes. All other pets can visit every
30 minutes.

Our
Christmas Carol Singing Event has just started. It will end automatically December 31st.
Everyone can take part for FREE! You can visit the profile of any player that is currently online, hit the 'Sing Carols' button and you may receive a prize. You can only visit each person once per day and you will receive MP or an item. All of these item prizes will retire at the end of this event too!
If your character is wearing an approved
Christmas Costume you are guaranteed an item or MP prize at every visit. Players without the costume can still take part, but on average only a quarter of all visits will receive an item! This means that players with an approved costume will win 4 times more item prizes!

1,000,000MP, 3 winners of

Wet from the
Rain? It doesn't matter at the Jenoa
Scratchcards! Another of our oldest features has been relaunched.
These are now very similar to the new Dukka Town Scratchcards but with slightly different prizes. We have changed the price of these from a Five Dukka Coin to
2,500MP! There were originally 8 different Jenoa Scratchcards and now there are 10. This means that the lowest value scratchcard before is now in 3rd place - this should help offset the drop in the price to buy these cards now.
