Shawls Updated (posted 4:49)

The following venerable shawls have had their line art replaced and their colouring cleaned up.

Harvest Court Search (posted 13:31)

With Harvest Festival here, it's time for the Gropherazzi to be on the lookout for possible Harvest Court Members. They will be choosing a King and Queen of Harvest plus 6 Princes and 6 Princesses from among all the Grophs in Grophland. Only Previous Harvest Kings and Queens are ineligible. If your Groph want's to be chosen for the Court then they should be Ecstatic in Mood and it's helpful to have an arrangement making them one of the first 4 Grophs seen on your Lookup page. Good luck to all the aspirants, and Happy Harvest!

Harvest Time! (posted 1:11)

October is coming in, bringing Autumn winds and rain, so it must be time for the Grophland Harvest Festival! Visit the Festival Showground (on the main island), for the best in Harvest food and pets, and of course the annual Pumpkrin show. As an extra bonus this year all garden plants harvested during the festival will produce one extra fruit! (Except the seed of wonder, sorry).

As ever there are some new items to be found in the festival store, so get them while they are there!

Jungletown (posted 7:35)

For the first time you can visit Jungletown, the trading post on the edge of the Jungle Island. There isn't anything there right now beyond the existing shops, but it's a lovely place to visit nevertheless.

Default theme, pings, icons and more (posted 13:03)

Mining Loot! (posted 15:04)

Been toiling at the coal face? Dragging wealth from the mountain tunnels? Wondering what to do with all your precious metals? Well wonder no longer, here's a whole bunch of things.

Stackable Items (posted 6:35)

A few items that can be combined with themselves through Alchemy (e.g. Goo) can now be stacked up directly in your inventory for free. Just click one of the items and you'll see a link for combining it with another one.

Mining in Allambrus (posted 2:04)

The mysterious fire Grophs living inside the Volcano Allambrus have spent centuries riddling the mountain with mines and shafts in search of precious metals and priceless gemstones. Now your Grophs can join them in the new Texolan Mines.

As well as existing fragments and gems you may also be able to find some of these new items. Note, you can now buy Pickaxes as tools from the tool shop, in addition to the existing Military Pick weapon, and both will work in both the new mines and the Lava Fields.

Globbits Galore (posted 5:09)

For those of you with a deep love for all things Globbit you can now dress your Groph's in the uniform of Globbit monks! You'll need to visit the Globbit shrine store, and have plenty of Gloseeds, or find someone willing to buy them for you of course.

Minor Changes (posted 3:39)

Some minor changes

• Clicking to add a smiley now adds it at the insertion point not the end of the message
• The navigation bar at the top of shops now shows the normal path (e.g. Wurld : Grophtown : Shops) instead of the old 'back to' link
• Acolyte's Coats now cost 1 Gloseed and are available in the Globbit Shrine

New Robes (posted 10:01)

Here are three new robes, available from today in the Castle Store.

Sea Shadow Items (posted 15:14)

A lot of you have already seen these, but here are the new items from last week's quest.

Ping other users! (posted 5:01)

From today you can now ping other users on the forums by putting [@login] in your message. They will get a message telling them you pinged them and giving them a link to the thread. e.g. to ping David you'd use [@david].

Please don't do this crazily, it will drive people mad and you will get a forum ban, use responsibly.

If you don't want to be pinged you can turn pings off in your User Details (under forums). Also users you have blocked cannot ping you.
