Halloween (posted 17:05)

It's Halloween at last, and the Moon Moth seems to have finally retreated back into the shadows from whence it came. Now you can return to your regularly scheduled terror! Remember it's your last day to fight Jack the Lantern, to visit the haunted cave, entertain the Kings and the like with your Guising skills and get Halloween items. Also make sure you send your Grophs out to play tonight ... They might come back with something nice!

Moon Moth Sighting (posted 2:26)

Some owners are reporting sightings of the Moon Moth! Are they crazy? Is it true? Here is an artist's impression.

Moon Moth Man? (posted 12:17)

What are these strange items? What is the purpose of the abandoned shop? Where is Hasting the Moon Moth Man?

Something in the Night (posted 7:32)

What is going on at the Stone Circle? Odd fires in the middle of the night, shadowy figures, and strange scraps of paper when the morning comes? Is this related to the unseen creatures that people have reported scratching at their window panes, or the warnings of doom from the Gypsy seer? No one seems to know, but there must be some meaning to this torn fragment ...

Pharonic Mystery (posted 13:47)

After a long period of silence our beloved Mayor Amadeus has returned to reveal a veritable treasure trove of priceless artefacts and exclusive items brought from the depths of the Desert isle. Always keen on the ancient desert Pharaohs, Amadeus has now outdone himself with these new paid account exclusives! (No paid account? Worry not, some of these items are not account bound, and one is a new offering from Khnarr)

Here is an example of the new items in all their glory.

Halloween Season! (posted 13:33)

It's Halloween Season, and the ghosts and ghouls are out for blood. To join in the fun most Grophs like to scare each other, or at least tell some exciting stories or poems, which they call Guising. If you want to join in the pick up a copy of Guising for Ghouls and go visit some NPCs.

Of course there are also all the normal things to do. The shops are full of Halloween goods, the Scary Cave is open, Jack the Lantern will be making a mess and you can assemble the dread Necronomicon. There are a few new items as well, as always.

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)
