Need somewhere to store the last of your clutter? Wardrobes, Fish Tanks and Food Sacks are all very well, but they don't hold lucky watches, toys and junk. Now you can buy crates in the tool shop. Crates are cheap and will hold anything you like, but they can't be put on display like the more specialist storage items.
Want the rarest of the rare? The first of a new series of items that increases your basic luck has now been placed in the tool shop. Such items are more expensive than anything else Grophland has seen so far. Remember luck controls how you do in games, how often you find things in random events, how well you do when you visit the stone circle and more!
As of today you can now rename your items. In the item toolbar you will see a rename box, which will allow you to call your items anything you like. As a consequence of the new layout I've moved the item name to just above its description instead of in the toolbar.
If you want to reset an item's name back to its original value simply delete whatever is in the name field and click the rename button. This will return the name of the item to its original value.
Well as requested by Tiermann there is now a wardrobe! Its not very fancy but it will hold your clothes! Talking of clothes there are a couple of new hats as well, as requested by Gwyn.
Some new items have been added today, including a new brooch and some new pets.
You can now give any of your Grophs or items to another player. When you give a Groph all items owned by that Groph will also be transferred. Similarly if you give a container then all items in it will be moved as well.
Blue Scarab amulets now look correct when put in an insect display case
Sorry there has not been much new in recent days, after my contest ended, I have been quite busy with other things and also suffering from RSI so I've not been online much. I haven't had a lot of new ideas recently, and I think I've dealt with all of the outstanding requests. I'm sorry there have not been a lot more testers, I've had no real luck getting new players, and that is rather hampering things. Thanks everyone, though, for playing!
As requested there is now a till for your shops. All purchases will be listed here until you clear the till. Please do this regularly. When there are new purchases that you have not seen yet you will get a message telling you this. You can view your till from this message or from the button in your shop.
I've added another new game, Grophdice, available in the games room as normal. I can see that lots of you play the games mainly, so your should like this. The payout rate of this game is quite high, you win most spins. Is it too high? Let me know.
I've fixed the Forums AGAIN
All the messages in a thread now show up, not just the first.
I have added a top ten page for the healthiest Grophs (the ones with the most hits) in the Town hall.
A slew of new items were added today. There are two new butterflies, and three other insects for the Jungle (also to be found in the pet, potion and amulet shops), as well as a new pet in the form of the Booboo bird. Also added was the food sack (available in the tool shop). Food sacks will hold all of your food for you, to stop it cluttering up your inventory.
Halloween is coming, and so are the halloween items. First up are witches and warlocks robes and the witches hat. Look out for wands and spooky pets and charms to come. These will only be available through the Halloween season.
I'm holding a contest designed for all players. Its a Public Debate, limited to grophs with an intelligence of 10 or less, so there is a chance that anyone could win! Come and enter by clicking on the colloseum.
As of today you can no longer see the stats of a Groph that has not yet hatched. Their lookup page will not show any information. This should increase the tension of waiting for them to hatch. Also looking at someone else's lookup page, or their Groph's page, no longer makes that Groph hatch. A Groph will only hatch when its owner looks at it (or logs in).
I've updated the House of Games to add two new games. The Fishing game was already available but Butterfly Hunt is brand new. Be warned though, Fishing needs a rod and Butterfly Hunting needs a net
I've fixed a few bugs in the forum. Specifically the thread view always showed the oldest post for a thread as the latest, rather than the newest! Also on the board view the 'NEW' column was not a link to the new message, as it should have been.
I have also modified the Board view so that it shows the title of the latest post from each board, as well as listing it in the most recent column. In fact I may do away with the 'last post' column entirely because of this.
A new page has been added to Grophtown, the House of Games. The House is the place to find games to play. The first game there is the new Slot Machine, go there to win money and more!
As of today there is a new news system on Grophland. New news items will be displayed (like this) on the front page of the site, and under the messages -> news menu item.
