Mailbox space discounted (posted 1:52)

Feel claustrophobic when you look at the 20 message limit on your mailboxes? Think $5 for 30 more messages was too much? Well no longer! Extra mailbox space has now been changed to $1 for each 15 (so less than half the old price). Buy now!

Deadly Secret (posted 7:57)

Some jobs for the Shady Stranger are of exceptional difficulty! If you choose to take these, beware, you will most likely fail! If you do happen to succeed however you should get one of these.

Deep in the Undertown it pays to be cunning like a Fox!

Friend Notifications (posted 14:45)

From today, when a friend connects to Grophland, you'll see a little pop up notification in the bottom left corner of the screen. It will go away again after a few seconds. If you don't want to see these simply go to the Friends page (under the Grophnet menu) and uncheck the checkbox.

We've also had some requests for people to be hidden so that they don't appear in notifications and probably also in the active user's menu. We will likely add this to the user preferences in the fairly near future.

Skill search (posted 8:24)

Searching the grophlopedia for a skill, e.g. 'skill gardening', now shows all items that provide that skill. In addition clicking a skill name on an item description gives a listing of what provides that skill, along with the amount provided.

More decoration (posted 5:35)

Add some more color to your Dollshouse.

Blade of Mars and Venus (posted 5:49)

New at the Battle Tower for your delectation!

Cherry Blossom Festival Over (posted 3:27)

Here so quick and gone as quick, the Cherry Blossom Festival is over for the year it seems.

Recognizing a lack of magical blossoms your Mayor, Amadeus, has obtained a rare supply and placed it in his shop. Buy quickly!

New look for the spring?

Cherry Blossom Festival (posted 2:49)

Spring is here and the Cherry trees are in bloom, covering the Main Island with blossom. Better appreciate it while you can though, it only lasts till the blossoms fall.

Features Forum Open (posted 8:41)

The Features forum is open to see if anyone is up to the challenge of designing a new Theme!

Random Messages (posted 16:10)

Okay, maybe that last message was a little bit premature. We are seeing a lot of site errors in the random event system and in a large number of games. These are related but not easily fixed. We may well have to turn off the random events altogether till it's fixed.

The bugs should be fixed now. No more non-existent item drops etc.

Parlay Over! (posted 14:15)

And it's done! The brave parlay party has struck a deal with the cruel Pirate Captain ... the return of all the pillaged Grophs and items in return for a new Pirate port to be built on the Jungle shore.

Well done all!

Pirate Parlay Party Picked (posted 2:20)

The mainland is ablaze, the pirates are pillaging everything, and Captain Qat is out of control. Something needs to be done! Luckily it looks like we have our brave party of volunteers chosen to go and Parlay with the Captain! The winners have been announced and the crowds demand immediate action!

The winners are Blinky, Love Mist, Queen of Clubs, Twinkle and Qatsson. Remember that the winners also get cash prizes (thanks to Elmo) to spend on Paid accounts, cash store items and upgrades! Congratulations all!

Pirates out of Control! (posted 0:30)

Oh no! It looks like Captain Qat is out of control! The whole of Grophland has been pillaged! Where is out Parlay party when we need them!

New Places (posted 5:18)

Four new areas have been added to Grophland today, just little places you might enjoy hunting for and finding. One of them is not secret, but the other three are, so don't expect them to be in obvious places.

Good hunting!

Felt Hat (posted 14:38)

Looks comfortable ... keeps the rain off ... and you can roll it up and put it in your pocket too.
