Lost Sock Awareness Day Today is May 9th, which everybody knows is National Lost Sock Awareness Day. This is Shusan's Day where the whole world joins her in celebrating having matching pairs of socks!
Today is the day to say good bye to all of the single socks. Now is the time to let go and move on. Clean out all of your left behind socks! Or you can complete her quests between now and May 20th and she will give a random player online a brand new matching pair of socks
There are 12 New Socks to be won from this event that will all retire. She may even give you a matching pair too!
Security acted swiftly. One well-placed kick, and Snorella’s time in Slater Park was over. Her annual pass cancelled without refund.
“Kicking the machine is not okay. This isn’t the Christmas Tree.”
No stuffing was harmed this time. Probably.
Fortunately, the damage didn’t matter.
Unbeknownst to most, the Plushie Machine was already scheduled for a complete replacement — one that arrived suspiciously fast, as if someone had anticipated the chaos.
And, like all machines affected by the ongoing Solar Flare, every use now has a chance to help you discover a planet, if you’ve launched any gumballs into orbit.
Twelve new planets have been spotted in orbit — shimmering with unfamiliar colours, shapes, and gravitational pull.
Scientists are reporting a subtle shift in weight.
Some say it’s the wind. Others say it’s beginning.
She used to wear goggles. Back then, everything hissed. Everything clicked. Everything mattered.
Snorella lived through an age of copper bolts, hand-poured moulds, and handcrafted machines that spat out smoke like they had opinions.
There was no AI in her era… and she plans to keep it that way
The gears needed oil. The valves needed tuning. And everyone respected the hiss of pressure.
Her machines filled entire buildings. Her blueprints lined brass-plated walls. People came from all over Marada to see the things she built — to hear the hiss of steam, the clank of pistons, the rhythm of invention.
The kind of machines that required gloves, timing, and courage. But over time, the machines got quieter. Smaller. Safer. Less Exciting.
“Ma’am, please step away from the machine.”
Security had arrived.
Whenever there is Solar Flare in Marada, the retired Steampunk Treasure Chest is back on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop
It will automatically retire again when the weather changes
Here is a preview of the new Ball of Steampunk Yarn released later this month
Still fuming from her encounter with the Vending Machine, Snorella wandered deeper into Slater Park.
The first makeover in nearly two decades. About time.
“This place used to smell like brass and popcorn.
Now it smells like sugar and disappointment”
Her next stop was the Enchanted Plushie Machine. She remembered it — barely — from long ago. Once a marvel of soft magic and meticulous craft.
She moved the claw to the left and nothing happened. Fifteen minutes she waited and she moved the claw to the right. Nothing happened.
She waited again. And again. Six times. The claw jerked sideways. The screen blinked. No plushie. No prize. Just a long, robotic sigh.
She kicked it. Hard.
The lights cut out. The screen shattered. A faint whiff of stuffing escaped into the air. She walked away without a word and got in line for the Murfin Madness rollercoaster.
By the time she returned, the Enchanted Plushie Machine was gone.
In its place stood something sleeker. Animated screen. Responsive claw. Dots and arrows tracking every movement. A fresh stock of new plushies shimmered inside.
And like the others affected by the Solar Flare, every use now has a chance to discover a planet, if you’ve launched any gumballs into orbit.
Snorella found it by accident. Covered in cobwebs, flickering faintly, humming in an annoyingly cheerful tone.
The first makeover in nearly two decades. About time.
“This is what passes for fashion now?”
The machine, of course, ignored her — just as it always has. Time hasn’t been kind to its contents. Most of the clothes inside are worn, dated, and — in Snorella’s words — “a fashion crime even gravity can’t forgive.”
But today, something changed.
The solar flare surged. The Vending Machine blinked. A new prize dropped.
Not much has been added yet — but it was enough. Enough to get her attention. Enough to remind us that some features aren’t forgotten — just sleeping.
Every use of the Vending Machine during the Solar Flare may help you discover a planet, as long as you’ve launched gumballs into orbit.
Enpiah’s orbit has become overrun with clusters of drifting gumballs — some glowing, some pulsing, others wrapped in what scientists are calling “aggressive candy coatings.”
Reports say they're forming patterns. Stacking themselves. Reacting to each other.
One cannon. Four Episodes. Sixty Levels. This isn’t Candyland anymore.
You’ve been issued a cannon and limited boosters.
Your task: clear as many clusters as possible before they reach the upper atmosphere.
Gumballs Galore has 4 Epsiodes of 15 Levels for you to complete. You can play Gumballs Galore up to 3 times per day for FREE. Earn 1MP per 1 point. Game resets at 00:00MST. Earn up to the maximum of 2,000MP each play - if you complete a level with MP for its Level reward, you will receive the bonus MP too!
Gumballs Galore has 15 different Level Reward Prizes - one for each level of each episode you complete! These are one time prize rewards you will win as a bonus prize for each level. When you complete a level for the first time, you must send score to unlock the next level or it will not be saved.
The main item prizes for this game are 4 Capsule Machine Tokens, retired Planet Glowing Egg from the 2021 Super Hero Society event and 4 Missing Gumballs added to your pet's Gourmet Food Collection
Stuck on a level? A new Gumballs Galore Compass has been added to the Compass Shop
Since the solar flare, something has changed inside the Gumball Machine. It's not always dispensing gumballs.
It's launching them into orbit at speeds between eleven and one hundred and ninety nine kilometers every second. You can see for yourself at the Launch Log.
Gumballs don't belong in orbit! Even space fish can’t explain what’s going on.
In orbit, the gumballs twist, glow, and pulse — their surfaces warping under some unknown pressure. Every hour they change, almost as if evolving. And now, after six hours in orbit, they’ve started to… solidify. To become.
The Telescope is tracking them all. A Gumball Launch Log records every departure. And if you’ve launched at least one yourself, you’re now eligible to discover them.
Its distance travelled? Calculated to the exact kilometre. And the Longest Journeys are being watched very closely.
Across Marada, unstable energy surged through power lines, teleporters, and machinery. Machines are malfunctioning.
One such machine - Candyland's Gumball Machine - shuddered violently before launching thousands of gumballs into the air like a cannon.
Some say it malfunctioned. Others think it finally woke up. Zero Refunds.
They didn't fall. And now, dozens of gumballs drift silently across the skies of Enpiah, caught in low orbit. Some say they're evolving into tiny planets. Others think the machine simply misfired.
Crowds are building in Candyland, hoping to see it happen again. But one traveller - just recently awoken from a very long slumber - watched it happen and scoffed.
“Modern machines. So flashy. So... inefficient.”
She spent the day touring Marada, unimpressed by what it had become.
Has Marada lost its way?
The Giftbox Shop has a new Gumball Machine Giftbox that allows you to visit every 30 minutes instead of the usual 1 hour - for life!
Something ancient has stirred beneath the surface of Enpiah. Just after sunrise, a violent tremor rippled across the red planet.
Machines sparked. Gravity pulsed. And from somewhere deep underground, a strange mechanical structure cracked open with a long, echoing hiss of steam.
She was forgotten. Now she remembers. And she wants it all back.
A figure emerged—half-asleep, half-wrapped in faded velvet robes.
Eyes squinted. Hair frizzed. Mouth curled into a disapproving scowl.
“This… is not how I left it.”
Who is she?
Why was she sealed in a rusted pod beneath Enpiah?
And why—after centuries of silence—has she awoken now?
No one knows.
But it happened just hours after a massive Solar Flare struck the planet… and only weeks after the unexplained Glitched Weather Event that still has scientists scratching their heads.
Coincidence?
A warning?
Or the beginning of something far stranger?
The skies are flickering. The machines are twitching.
And something ancient has opened its eyes.

BREAKING NEWS
We tried living with the Glitched Weather Event for over a week but as soon as the glitch hit affected Easter Bunny something had to be done to fix it!
We called in the experts
Dozens of hours
Hundreds of messages
An absurd amount of MP
“Have you tried turning it off and on again?”
So we did. We turned the weather off and on again. It went off and has caused a Blackout. We hope it's back on again for Easter... in the meantime, here is what happens whenever there is a Blackout...
A new 'Blackout Sparkle' Experience has been released. Can you find it?
All Candle, Devil, Fire, Fire Fairy, Lightning, Light Fairy, Neon, Sparkle and Strobe pets will receive FREE training at the Gym and Elite Gym and FREE lessons at the School and University.
Visit the Telescope for 20,000MP during a blackout and you'll win one of these amazingly detailed Photos of each world in Marada.
Without any power, the Operations Portal has reset to factory settings and will change the colour of any pet that uses it to black or white. No species changes will happen at the Operations Portal during a blackout.
Whenever there is a blackout event, the retired Galactic Treasure Chest is back on sale at the Account Upgrades Shop. It will automatically retire again when power is restored to Marada.
The blackout has Baspinar's Castle and Eleka's Castle in darkness 24 hours a day. Therefore the Knutt Knight will stay sleeping and his quests cannot be completed but the Troll mission will stay open 24 hours a day. The Bank has decided to remain open throughout the blackout.
Ublish no longer needs your help finding stars for his mission - it's so dark he can see them himself and has taken a well earned vacation!
If you win a Dukka Coin (or Fake Dukka Coin) from either of these features you'll receive two instead of one!
A new 'High Seas' Experience has been released. Can you find it?
