Love is in the air, with these new love potions

Welcome to the Forest (posted 10:42)

Welcome everyone to the Forest, the first new area in Grophland for some time. It has it's own random events, a shop, a puzzle, two new games, loads of special items, and many other mysteries too!

Forest Opened! (posted 9:57)

Wow, that was quick! Congtratulations to Pearl for solving the foresst puzzle and finding Celes ... enjoy!

Elemental Combat traits (posted 5:28)

As of today each piece of armour, and each weapon, has an elemental trait (or traits) attached. These traits affect the way various items do damage against each other, but the system is for you to work out.

Forest troubles? (posted 3:35)

Recent visitors to the forest, heading there in search of Celes, have reported that the entrance has beeen blocked by an angry Squig looking for nuts! Worse this Squig claims that Celes is missing anyway. What is going on? Where are the nuts? Where is Celes?

Shortcuts (posted 3:29)

There are now shortcuts to most of the important locations around grophland at the bottom of the world page and home page

A new avatar was released today (posted 5:30)

New Books (posted 4:47)

Some new books have been added today, one *very* overdue!

Map in a Bottle (posted 13:31)

These maps in a bottle may turn up on the beaches sometimes

Forum Upgrade (posted 3:58)

As of today when you click on the name of the board at the top of a thread it will take you back to the correct page of the forum, rather than always to the first one.

Eyedrops (posted 8:38)

Introducing the eyedrops! These potions will change the colours of your Groph's eyes.

New item (posted 7:56)

A new item was added today, specially imported from Femeris.

Charm Limit (posted 0:47)

As of today exach individual Groph can only have a maximum of 20 charms equipped. We have done this so as to shake up the charm scene a bit, and to add more value to charms with more than +1 value. As usual Grophs that already have more than 20 will keep them till you remove them.

Contest Cost Increase (posted 8:56)

The cost for running a contest with no restrictions has increased sharply ... while cost for a contest with restrictions has increased a bit. The more restrictions the lower the cost. Previously it was too easy to open a contest that cost almost nothing to enter and cover your costs with just a couple of entries.

Site Slow (posted 5:49)

Some of you may have noticed Grophland being slow today. This appears to have been caused by a large Denial of Service attack aimed at our service providers.

Rainbow Grophs (posted 3:43)

Announcing the official openeing of the Ebay Aution winners ... OZ! The winners of the auction (who wish to remain anonymous) have created a wonderful Rainbow special, which you can see just by going to the Oz lookup. Better still we have decided that this Rainbow should be breedable by anyone! It is a complex breeding challenge but it is there for everyone, so enjoy!

Breeding Info (posted 1:33)

The Breeding info page has now been updated with eye colours

Eye Colours (posted 3:51)

After a week or so of testing, and a lot of voting, the new eye colours have been introduced properly today. All existing Grophs now have an eye colour based on their body image (as they have done for the past week), while new Grophs will have eye colours based on their parents just like with body colours. Cheap eye drops to turn Grophs's eyes black (i.e. the old style) will be available soon.

As with any new feature there is a chance that some part of the system will not work as expected. If you see any odd problems with eye colours when using the breeding or hatchery features, please let us know.

Account Renewals (posted 5:23)

We have now added a facility for people to renew their paid accounts up to 150 days before they expire! Yes we really have had paid accounts long enough for that to be needed now :) Renewing an account early has no effect on how long it stays paid for, you still get your full time. You can renew from the payments page, of course, and a reminder will appear when you log in if your account has 50 days or less to go.
