The Name Purge has finished. In total 3,363,940 usernames and 4,299,037 pet names were removed and are now freely available to be created or changed at the Town Hall. To keep it fair and to stop new players from joining, creating lots of good pet names and leaving, you can now only create one pet every 24 hours. We would also like to apologise for the ocasional lag and slow loading of pages over the past few days. This was all caused by this clean up and should be fine now.
The old, unloved and ignored Puchalla Costume has been replaced with a new Defective Costume based on the popular plushies we recently added to the Memory Shop. The defective name may not match so well with the pets as the plushies but this could always be changed in the future!
Remember, this costume can be won from the Bumpkin mission. The goals and avatars related to the Puchalla costume now require this Defective Costume. Any player with a Puchalla Costume now has a Defective Costume and pets have changed too! Just a heads up, Trailer Costume will be going too soon...
I'm happy to see the mildly offensive Puchalla and Trailer costumes go. I do agree with players saying that the costume doesn't have anything to do with Bumpkin now, but changing the mission would be tricky.
These new colors *are* hard to look at all at once, especially where the #0000FF blue is involved, but some of them are not so hard on the eyes individually. I like the Astro and Basil.
That was some of the best fun I've ever had on mara. 2 out of 3 of the names I was stalking never cleared up which is sad, but I'm also kind of glad because at least no one else got them P: Thanks Ian
Thank you for the purge! I'm so glad to have the opportunity to get the names I've gotten.
I like the Defective Decadal. It reminds me of the colors of the old red Decadal, only more saturated. I like these pets, but I am sad to see the Puchalla Gobble go. That was the one Puchalla pet that I thought was very cute and I wouldn't have minded seeing more pets like that. It's kind of disappointing to see that Gobble go from something so unique and expressive to something so standard, even if is nice. I sincerely hope the Voodoo Gobble won't eventually meet the same fate. :(
I do like these pets and these colors though. Maybe not for everyone, but I like that option.
