Marapets is truly a wanna-be of the wonderful, user-friendly Neopets. Having around 7 ads per page(!) Marapets.com is a hard game site to make your way around. The graphics of the Marpets games (compared to Neopets) are some of the worst I have ever seen! Some of the items/pets are even a tad bit disturbing.....take for instance that you are able to paint your pet Insideout or Zombie. The Yuni pet already looks gross to begin with. Well, I guess you can't expect much from a site that is run by a 17-year-old who needs and life, or maybe just a job. Neopets is all around the better place to play.
When at Marapets I come across many things that you don't (want to, and don't) have to deal with on Neopets.

The worst possible cheap imitation of Neopets. Marapets has an incredibly slow server and pathetic imitations of other sites (mainly neopets). The majoratory of the features (if not all) are stolen from other websites. They deserve to be sued by all the websites they have stolen
Copied Marapets items from Neopets:
Meerca Chase = Murfin Chase
Secret Laboratory ray = Secret Portal
Paint Brushes = Costumes
Meerca Chase = Murfin Chase
Secret Laboratory ray = Secret Portal
Paint Brushes = Costumes

The world's most prick filled pet site on the face of the planet. Ran by idiots who are trying to make a living being copiers of other sites worth a damn.

Marapets is a rip-off of Neopets. Marapets is filled with n00bs and immature users. The website has a shit load of advertisement on every single page and the art is very bad.

A crappy game copying a crappy game. Basically it's like neo pets but way more disturbing...inside out skin is available yep really inside out. How can the gay 17 year old that runs the site possibly think that's ok!

A virtual pet website, similar to Neopets, where you can have 12 pets, and the pets can /actually/ die. It's fun, and a lot less crowded, so there more more "in touch" staff members who WILL listen. They are sort of like Neopets when it first began, where the staff cared about the users. Since there is only about a max of 500 people online, Staff can help you if you are frozen, or banned, or scammed. Other users often help others, with quests and whatnot, and everyone is pretty nice ^-^. Since there are separate chats for off topic, and general chat, the help chat, and all other chats aren't overrun by stupid people asking others to "RATE MY PICSHUREE". The staff are real users, who worked their way up to staff by helping other people out. I really admire their effort to be as nice and helpful to the users, and they do a good job, despite the occasional error... and down for maintenence pages. They aren't exactly rich, and it is run by a 17 year old after all =P. Don't get me wrong, I love neopets, and I used to be an avid player. But they froze my whole family's accounts because of a false reasona nd now it doesn't seem as appealing because TNT is just a team of people who care just about how much money they can get from sponsor games and ads.
All in all, Marapets is funner, more laid back, not as strict and uptight as Neopets :. If you have time to kill, join mara ^^
* There's also an operation portal there, which is like the lab ray which you can use once a day for free :o
** 12 pets =D
*** SO much easier to RS XD (restocks every 10 minutes exactly)
Yeah, when I'm there I feel so much more successful.

It might look like a copy of Neopets but there's a lot of things on Marapets that Neopets doesn't have
Such as a team that cares for the users! :D

Marapets is a virtual pet site created to home those who were sick of Neopets (In my opinion). Marapets has improved a lot over 3 years and were accused highly by those who would say that the site was a "copy" of Neopets. While the creators of Neopets had a great idea in developing their virtual pet environment in 1999, and had many "original" ideas, they are NOT original by no means.
The game Murfin Chase (Marapets) is in NO WAY a copy of Meerca Chase (Neopets) when Neopets themselves COPIED the concept from a game of the 70's called "Snake" from Atari. I played it myself many times with friends. Murfin Chase can be played with the mouse, your tail doesn't kill you, you move to higher levels, etc. Marapets server has improved as well now meeting demands for more members and it has now reached the 2 million member mark. Which in fact has usually no more than 3,000 members connected at one time which makes competition less fierce than in Neopets in which you have to compete with 20,000 to 50,000 playing at the same time, making it much harder to gain trophies, awards, or something as simple as buying a piece of clothing that your pet can wear. By the time you click to get it, someone else has already bought it.
Neopets can NOT sue Marapets because A: They are copiers too. B: If they were to sue Marapets, Powerpets and other sites that followed the same concept they have, they would MONOPOLIZE the market, which is a CRIME; if you are too ignorant to know what I mean then research it.
The "non-secret" Portal in Marapets is a lot like the Secret Laboratory but the loophole is in the fact that painted (yes, painted) pets in marapets are not necessarily considered "rare" or in higher rank than one who is of the 4 basic colors: RED, BLUE, GREEN, YELLOW. Instead Marapets cares much more about STATUS, if you trained your marapet well, your Marapet can WORK and earn a living, yes he can earn an income for you in marapoints (something neopets doesn't have).
BTW Paint Brushes = Costumes Neopets have "costumes" too. Royal and Desert... but they still call them paintbrushes (which doesn't make sense because they ARE dressed). And yes a red costume will "paint" your Marapet red. But they had to use their own idea they couldn't name it paintbrushes too, that WOULD be stupid, don't you think?
My point is a Desert/Royal Neopet at level 1 is worth MORE than my Eyrie at level 18 who has superstrong status. If it were Marapets, my "eyrie" would be worth more that the royal/desert pet, if you want to be technical.
Neopets is driven into a commercial type of business nowadays more than a children oriented website. In that, Marapets is SO not like them. Nowadays sponsor games/activities RULE the site in Neopets. And Premium members have a big advantage over those who can't afford premium. They dont make it "fair" if you know what I mean. I had Premium and know exactly what I mean. In Marapets you pay for an "Upgrade" that will give you super rare items that you can sell for millions, they give you a trophy, it is a one-time payment AND the shop search will always give you the cheapest item, without need for an upgrade. Upgrades are totally optional in Marapets and cheaper than in Neopets.

I just finished the Undying Festival (Marapets) and the Altador Plot (Neopets) and the prizes for Marapets rained like crazy 125,000 whooping marapoints (overall), a 25,000MP rare minipet and a rare marapet (Daisy) for finishing it, plus 5000RP. I was expecting to get something close from the Altador Plot but for a whole way-more-complicated step by step game to solve; 5000 measly neopoints, a trophy, a sidebar, a couple of books.... Gosh, it took me a week to finish, they suck. I am so much happier in Marapets.
