Head to Tollia (or the House of Games) to try and save the Stick-Groph from certain doom by playing Hanggroph, our newest game.

Because it's January, and it's dark, and it's cold, and I have to go back to work today.

Updated Hair (posted 8:33)

We have updated more of the Land Groph hair types. You should be seeing new versions of the Light Green, Dark Green, Pink, Purple and Dark Blue hair types from today.

Win Alanei (posted 4:07)

As has been pointed out in bugs, a lovely Lunar Groph named Alanei has turned up who appears to have no owner. Since she's so special I have started a contest, the winner will get Alanei (even if their cave is full). Enter at the Colosseum as usual.

Guild Places (posted 12:24)

You can now pay $5 to buy three more Guild joining places, e.g. if you are a free user and buy this upgrade you will be able to join up to 4 guilds at once, a paid user will be able to join 6.

MERRY KUAK! (posted 3:20)

Kuak Day is here, the Raindeer are asleep, and every Groph is in the streets visiting friends, eating Winter Pudding, and giving gifts. As a special present (in these times of economic uncertainty) I've given everyone 15,000 Grophgold, spend it wisely! Also don't forget to get your Winter Pudding from Amadeus on the last day of the Icefall giveaway.

Now it is time for the Dark Days, until Kala when the Raindeer return, the Sun is reborn, and the days get longer again. Don't despair though, hopefully everyone has more than enough Linger biscuits and Kuak candles to get them through the darkness.

Cash store and more (posted 10:48)

The cash store has been updated, just in time for Kuak, and there are a few other new items for sale in Aquaria to go with them.

Grave of Ships Help (posted 6:56)

It seems that King Esdras has realised that whatever is going on at the Grave of Ships is important to his city, and he's sent his forces to help you on the quest. You'll now find this Guard there to help you.

Model Grophtown (posted 6:43)

Thanks to Tiermann's suggestion we are happy to bring you a whole new dimension in decorations for your Kuak Tree! Collect the whole set of these Model Town houses (selection boxes available in the toy store) and recreate Grophtown under your tree!

The Trident of the Moon (posted 5:35)

As some of you noticed quickly, a new quest opened yesterday with Dr Mux's new features. This quest seems to concern the Legends of Nullibrach, whose bones (as I am sure you remember) vanished from his undersea cave late in the year. Don't know where to start? Make sure you complete the Mystery of the Sea Shadow quest first.

Dr Mux (posted 0:15)

Dr Mux, the well known eccentric scientist, has long been a resident of the Town Hall. Now he has decided to try and provide a useful service. Bring him your mystery items and he'll have a go at identifying them. Being a careful man he will only venture an opinion on things he knows something about, but there are some interesting tidbits of information ...

Linger Snowmen (posted 5:59)

Linger Grolls have been out of production for many years now, but I didn't want people to miss out on their seasonal Linger treats, so here's a Linger Snowman in the same style.

Icefall begins today! (posted 0:24)

It's the 14th day of December, and that means it's time for Icefall all across Grophland. Grophs are out knocking icicles from the rooftops, eating Linger cookies, wearing red, and exchanging gifts. As ever your beloved Mayor Amadeus is handing out a gift a day in the Town Hall so don't forget to come on every day and get your special item. (First one pictured below)

In addition this year you can all get in on the act! Pick up an Icefall Giver from the container shop and you can place your own choice of items on your Lookup for anyone who passes by to take. Giving is the spirit of Icefall, so join in! Finally Alice the Sage has added a Winter Forest Hood to go with the warm Winter Forest Robe she already sells.

Fine Weather Continues (posted 1:29)

Grophlanders have noticed the continued lack of snow this year, as the winter continues fine and clear for day after day. The few flurries of snow in the last week have hardly been enough to bring the icicles and snow covered rooftops normally associated with Icefall. Although young Grophs are unhappy, farmers and sailors are happy at the continued good weather.

Books! (posted 4:34)

Picking out the cream of winter's popular fiction in Grophland, we present the December bestsellers.

Kuak is a-comming (posted 5:38)

Kuak and Kala are almost upon us, and it's time to get your trees up and decorated! Kuak trees are now for sale, and you can find decorations all around Grophland. Check Texolan and Aquaria for some particularly fine ornaments.

Design a new special Groph! (posted 5:29)

Starting today we are auctioning on Ebay the right to create a brand new Special Groph type on Grophland. If you win you will get to pick every aspect of the new special, how it looks, how it breeds, how it gets turned into a special. We'll also give you a fully upgraded paid account to house your new creation.

See this thread for more details.

Winter Givaways (posted 3:54)

If you visit the Town Hall you can now see the items Amadeus has given away in years gone by

Land groph Hair (posted 7:08)

Ladies and Gentlegrophs, Boys and Girls, it is time for a huge step ... to change the hair for Land Grophs! We have been using the same artwork for the last 7 years now, and I've always been too afraid to change it, but that time is no longer! We have new hair, and we are introducing it now! First though, a comparison. Here is some current hair ...

Here is the new equivalent ...

We (the staff) think it looks a whole lot better, and we hope you agree! In case you don't please visit the Wig Store and purchase a Classic Wig, which will force your Groph to use the old style hair and not the new. Now enjoy!
