The Olympics have been improved. They have new security codes that show up at random, the layout has improved and olympic game results are now processing much faster than before. If you enter your pets one at a time, the 'Enter' button will disappear if your pet cannot enter. If you have the 'Multiple Pet Olympics Giftbox', you will now have a countdown for when each pet can enter the Olympics again. Finally, there are new prizes on sale in the Olympic Redemption Shop.
We have fixed the problems some players were having with Flash Games.
MaraTalk has been improved. You now have your forum font and BBCodes are allowed. It is also no longer an iframe - it automatically updates with the newest posts without constant refreshing.
The Last Online status at the top of the 'Friends' page of profiles has been improved. It now shows accurate information as to when a player last logged on to Marapets.
The Iggy from the Olympics Redemption Shop is avaliable in these colours - including Breeze, Splatter and Native!
We have updated Pet Trades. The search has been improved, you can now browse by all pet species and colours that are currently up for trade.
Keno has been fixed. It now has new security codes and a 'Play Again' button at the end of each game.
Finally, we have made it easier to start a Battle. The start battle button is at the top and bottom of the battle page.

The limited edition Cartoon themed Account Upgrades will retire October 19th. This will be your last chance to get the Unnecessary Perfection Instructions from Account Upgrades as they will retire.
The Town Hall has been improved. Every time that you use a 'Username Certificate' you will now own your new username and your current username forever. You can then visit the Town Hall at any time and switch between your usernames for FREE once per hour. Every player can also change their username from lowercase to uppercase at any time for FREE too. Example, if you joined with a username 'mAraPets' you can go to the Town Hall and change it to 'marapets' or 'Marapets' for FREE. Players who use a 'Username Certificate' also have the option to show players their original username, all usernames or keep them all private. All usernames will show on the site search.
If you haven't already noticed, we have made over 500,000 Usernames available by removing some really old, dead accounts.
The Charms shop is now restocking 11 new items.
The Auctions have been improved. They are making good use of the new servers now and are running much faster and more reliable.
We have also completely recoded the Site Search. The new servers have allowed it to be much smarter and more powerful. When you search for items, members or pets it will show you the exact match at the top and all of the results containing your search below. Items now have the 'Price Check' feature, members show those who are online now at the top of the search and when you search for pets, it now shows the pet colour, species and owner.
The Pet High Scores and Greedy Fairy have been improved. Frozen accounts or banned pets will no longer show up and be awarded prizes.

We have successfully completed our Site Maintenance. As many of you may know, we own our own servers and have had them hosted in Los Angeles for over 8 years now. Just before our 10th Birthday events, one of our main database servers died. All of our servers were getting old, more unreliable and we running way past their shelf life! We have replaced all of our hardware and moved to Dallas, Texas. Marapets is now running on state of art computing cluster, with 80 x Intel Xeon E5 2.5GHz processors, 256GB of RAM, 10TB of high speed storage and 40GB/s infiband network. This will allow us to release a lot of features for Marapets that we couldn't before, it will stop any lag or glitches we had before and as you may have noticed, load Marapets blazingly fast!
We would like to thank you all for your patience while we completed the move. We had to backup, move, import, configure and test everything from the old servers to the new servers in those hours that we were down. Everything went amazingly well and the downtime is over.
A massive thank you to all Account Upgrades buyers, past and future, that will help pay for our new hardware. And to celebrate our new servers, the Vault in Baspinar's Castle is giving every player a FREE gift! Enter the code 'MARAPETS-NEW-SERVERS' at the Vault to receive 2 Server Move Care Package items and 25,000MP as our gift to you all. Open your Server Move Care Package to receive 7 of 9 random items.
REMINDER You are only allowed one account per person. Everything you do is logged and monitored by staff. Anyone found to be using accounts to gain items and/or points will be frozen. Gaining items and/or points from family/friends account is classed as multiple account abuse and is against the rules and you will permanently lose all accounts.

We would like to give you all a heads up that Marapets will be Down for Maintenance within the next 48 hours - most likely sometime tomorrow October 3rd. We will give you plenty of warning and there is no need to do anything. As we mentioned at the start of the 10 Year birthday events, our servers were getting old and slowly unreliable. We have since ordered brand new hardware and have been busy setting it up. It will soon be time for us to close Marapets for a 6-12 hours while we move all data and test out the new system.
During this time, Marapets will show a 'Down for Maintenance' page with frequent updates. The new system will be much more reliable, faster and allow us to release a lot of new features and improvements to the site that the old hardware simply couldn't handle. We appreciate your patience and promise to keep you all updated. Once everything is back, we will return to normal news updates and finish the Birthday events, which was put on hold while we focused 100% of our attention on this.
too. much. birthday cake
Alerts and Feeds are the first to be moved and are now down. We also are moving Support Tickets and are down - in an emergency please mail staff or start a topic on the Help Forum.

Its finally happened! You've been asking for 10 years now and a Username Certificate has been released allowing you to change your Username. Visit the Town Hall in the City of Marada to use this item from the Account Upgrades shop. You can change your username as many times as you like but your older usernames will never leave you. If your username is 'Ian' and you change it to 'Ian2', the 'Ian' username will still work at the login page.
Other players will never be able to use your older usernames once they have changed. Both your new username and any of your previous usernames will still link to your account on the site search.
There are 3 new Pet Colours - Autumn Troit, Native Gobble and Rainbow Ideus.
