There are 63 new Melted Candles now restocking instead.

It's been 24 hours of extreme heat in Marada and there is no sign of any cooler weather any time soon. Experts have been debating what is causing this Heat Wave - Global Warming? Beelzebub? Bored, out of work Server Error Newths with a blow torch? One of the oldest residents of Ancient Simeria, the Historian has been the most vocal. In the past 2,000 years he's lived in Marada, he has never seen such heat in November...

The Historian is the newest addition to Simeria. The higher your pet's History stat is, the greater he will reward them. You will receive prizes for each of your pet's history stat levels - the higher you train, the more you are rewarded! There are currently prizes for 170 or more History Stats.

Although this is mostly a forums-based event, there will also be prizes rewarded randomly to members who are online and have something spooky about their profile, so you may still win something even if you dont have forum access.

The Worm Digging game in Gigantic Paradise has been updated. The game now has new artwork, a nicer design and higher MP prizes.

Thank you to everyone for their patience the past week or so. As you probably noticed, Marapets had over a week of loading problems, which caused a lot of weird glitches. Several of our hard disks broke at the same time and the disks they fail over to were not as fast as we're used to. To avoid any problems we've had in the past, we closed right away and tried our best to find the best long term solution and install/prepare everything in 48 hours. It took nearly 69 hours but I had to have some sleep ha!

We had plans to move away from all of our last remaining SATA disks (even at 15K RPM they are still so much slower and less reliable than SSD) but they were only here as back up.The plan was to move all of our servers from Canada to the UK in 2020 and replace it then once our Canada lease was up. Last week changed all of this, as we needed Marapets fixed ASAP. We've now extended the lease in Canada for another 24 months and completed all of the upgrades we had planned for 2020 in Canada. Marapets has been hosted in North America for the past 15 years because the majority of players are from there and it meant a faster site for those players. These days, with Cloudflare and fibre connections, it makes very little difference and is more of a hassle to have everything so far away from us.

Don't worry if that made no sense to you, all that matters is that a) we have new hardware and software now and hopefully we'll be good now for many years and b) it was a total success and we should be running the best we ever had.

We will start our Halloween events as planned shortly. Those who changed their pets to Midnight for free training should keep them midnight - midnight is a halloween theme costume and it will be included in Halloween free training.

The Basil, Paffuto, Reese and Tantua can now wear the Thunder Costume.



The Double or Nothing game has been updated with brand new artwork.
