Christmas Items (posted 14:53)

Sorry for the delay but the Christmas items are here! Dress your Grophs in a Santa Costume, give them a Santa Hat, or a false beard, or a red nose, or even reindeer horns! More to come soon!

Also you can buy Christmas presents in the toy shop. Open one of these and you get a random item worth under 1000gg, any random item!

Small Updates (posted 11:57)

There have been a few small updates today. The ruins now give out prizes slightly less, you can add scarab amulets to artefact cases without them looking wrong, curses now have a message telling you what to do to get rid of them, and a center align tag has been added to Grophcode.

Changes to Shops (posted 15:33)

User shops were changed today. Now all of the same type of item are grouped together in your shop, so long as they have the same price. Changing the price will change the price for all of the items in the group at the same time. However you can still have more than one price for the same item, just remove one, sell it again, and give it a new price.

New Room Type (posted 6:55)

A new room type was added today, the first since playtesting started. This room (in the center of your cave) contains a magical stone. This stone has a percentage chance of protecting your account from curses, such as those from random events. It will also protect against future items that allow other players to lay curses on you, such as plagues of locusts and bottle factory accidents.

Richest Players (posted 15:25)

You can now see the top ten richest players in Grophland listed in the Town Hall in Grophtown, and boy are some players richer than others! Go to Grophtown and you will see the town hall at the back of the buildings.

Desert Ruins (posted 16:33)

The desert ruins now go somewhere! This new game is now 90% in action. Look for spades in the tool shop, as well as Artefact Cases to keep your artefacts in.

New items (posted 16:04)

There are a few new items today. A new colour of kimono, a loaf of bread, and some tasty bacon.

Lower Grophdice Payouts (posted 15:44)

Grophdice now pays out a little less than it did before, since a couple of people pointed out that it was paying too much. The pair and two pair prizes have been dropped, and full house and three of a kind now pay a lot less. The payout for a straight is now 10gg less as well.

Container Bug Fixed (posted 16:24)

A bug which allowed you to put items on sale into your containers has been fixed now.

New Fish and Insects (posted 14:45)

Thought your collections were complete? Think again! There are now two new fish and two new insects, and what's worse one of each of them can only be caught by fishing or butterfly hunting, they won't appear in the shops.

New Random Events (posted 2:18)

There are some new random events added today, and I have made random events slightly more common. Look out for them!

Updates to Grophmail (posted 2:17)

The message that tells you that you have new Grophmail now tells you how many new Grophmails you have, and what the title of the newest one is.

Top Ten Changed (posted 15:14)

Just a small change to the Top Ten boards. It now shows a list of the categories available by default, instead of taking you to the top ten prettiest Grophs. I was planning to add categories for richest owners, and owners with the most items, as well.

User List Updated (posted 7:03)

The User listing (lookup users) has been updated today. There are some new colour codes, so you can pick out the active and inactive people more easily, and the old toolbar has been replaced with a key so you can make sense of the colours.

Also a couple of inactive users, people who have not logged on in over a month and a half, have been deleted. In general people who I think might be coming on some time will never be deleted, but people who have told me they are never coming on again will be removed.

New Clothing (posted 16:33)

All you Five Rings fans have been patiently waiting (okay both of you) so here are some new Kimonos and Haori! More will be coming soon, as soon as I get them drawn. Look for these in the clothing shop as usual.

Bug Fix (posted 11:30)

Some items that appear only between certain dates were not appearing when they should have done. This has now been fixed.

New Food (posted 11:30)

Five new food items were added today, two cakes and three fruits. Find them in the food shop! At the same time I updated the item toolbar so that the feed menu now shows you how healthy the Grophs who need feeding are. This should make it easier to feed them. Also the health of each Groph is now shown on the My Grophs page as well

Saturday Nov 20 2004

New Navigation (posted 17:07)

New navigation is here, finally you can get to other islands! Click on the picture of the world on any of the island maps (desert, mainland, jungle island) to see the world and choose the island you want to visit. The world map is also available from the newly renamed 'explore' menu, under the item 'world'. The 'main island' link will take you to the owner page (currently still the login page).

New Island Arrives! (posted 4:46)

A new Island has arrived! Visit the desert to shop in Gropertitti's Bazar, the Desert jewel shop, and to challenge the evil Grophamun to the board game of Grophet.

A couple of new items have been added to these shops, and others have been moved from their old shops to here. More new items will be on their way soon, so don't worry about that. There is another new game as well, the board game Grophet, which is in the house of games as usual as well.

Pagination Added (posted 14:44)

Pagination has now been added to the forums, so that long lists of messages and threads are split over multiple pages.

Also a few small changes and bug fixes have been made across the site, see the bug forum for details.
