We seem to be experiencing some severe server problems right now. Grophland keeps going down all the time with no warning. Hopefully support will wake up soon an notice!
We now have a page to list people's Grophland related fan websites. Please make sure that if you have a fan site we know about it, and it links to grophland itself. The new list is under the home menu.
As you probably all noticed Grophland was down for nearly two hours today. Thanks to the quick intervention of Dreamhost technicians we were able to get the site up and running again, but I am not exactly sure why. Last I heard they were blaming a bad network card. Whatever the reason I hope to learn more soon.
Its Grophland's Birthday today ... yes we are one year old! Grab this birthday cake while you can!

A host of small changes have been made recently, mostly bug fixes no one will notice. Significant things include changing the text on the registration page, and adding each users blocking preferences to their lookup page, so you can see if people will accept play requests, games and so forth. Some secret new items were also added.
Okay, now the features forum really *is* unlocked
Design a t-shirt for Grophland, get your very own work to wear on your own body, help fill the grophland store! The features forum has now been re-opened for this very special contest. Only t-shirt entries will be accepted for the next month.
Today we would like to announce the new Grophland store on Cafepress.com. Here you can buy Grophland related t-shirts (and soon, we hope, other items as well). Buy directly today! Please do take a look at the store (you can find the link under the home menu) and see what you think. If you want to suggest more items please do so as well!
Oh did I mention that this avatar is now available ...
Its not good news, but its news ... those of you who had pools and nests greater than an unpaid account allows, and never upgraded your accounts to paid, have now had your pools and nests reduced to the appropriate sizes. Your excess Grophs are still there, but you won't be able to get any more until you get rid of some Grophs to make room.
A new special item has appeared in the tool shop today. The Scroll of Homecalling has the power to call your released Grophs back to your cave. Be careful, for its power works only once, and only on one of the last five Grophs you released.

Note : Only Grophs released from yesterday onwards will be recoverable with the scroll.
There is a new area in Aquaria, the Sea Road, but it appears to lead nowhere ...
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF GROPHLAND!!!
Let us hope 2006 will be even better than 2005, and for all those who lost someone dear let us hope the New Year brings New Hope.
Of course, the new wife would have to put up with the string of children who come visting, be prepared to travel around the world and worship at Amadeus's purple tail!
Other news:-
David, the Ruler of Groph land seems to be absent at the moment. This reporter can report that a small human child has him enslaved! This situation will last until the New Year, when the human child will be returned to the mundane world of Eng-a-land and more items will be added.
Earlier today it was thought that some news was breaking ... but more recently it was discovered that there was not ... sorry
In further news about the developing 'No News' story, there was still no news.
