New Login Restrictions (posted 14:56)

In the hope of preventing banned users from going to a friend's house, making a new account, and then logging in from home we have changed the login to stop people logging in from banned addresses, as well as not making accounts from them. Sadly this has affected a few people who are not banned, because they have ahost (like AOL) that gives out random addresses, and they can end up with a banned one. We are very sorry if this has happened to you.

Aquarian Mysteries (posted 14:54)

Look out for this book, only available on Aquaria Day.

New Wizard item (posted 7:32)

Oh we added a new Wizard item as well ... but we aren't going to tell you what, hah!

Forest items (posted 6:22)

The first nine forest items have now been chosen. The other five will follow soon.

FEATURES : Closed (posted 8:38)

The Features contest to design 14 forest items is now closed! Thanks to all the contributers. We will try and pick the winners soon

Staff stepping down (posted 7:48)

It is with great saddness that I have to annouce that two of our beloved staff have left the halls of wizards and moderators today. KatrinaZ has stepped down as a Moderator to concentrate on her upcomming University course, while long time Wizard (and original playtester) Duckiemonster has been put on official sabbatical. She will of course be welcome back if she ever comes back!

Thanks to both of you! A new ex-staff trophy is on its way

Grophland Shop on Cafepress (posted 10:49)

We'd just like to take the time to remind everyone about our shop on Cafepress. We have a variety of t-shirts, mouse mats, mugs and so forth available for you to buy there today.

Sadly the shop has not done well, in fact it has cost more to keep open than we have ever made from it. We are not closing it yet, but if it keeps on not being used then we may have to give up on it in time.

Contest Change (posted 2:27)

Some of you may have noticed that, in our ongoing attempts to make Grophland perfect, we have tinkered with the contests again. There are now more divisions between ranks at the low end, where most Grophs are, so look out for some rank 2 and 3 contests appearing.

Features Forum (posted 2:26)

Just a reminder, we are into the last week of the features theme (forest). If you want a chance at one of those 14 item spots then now is the time!

Account Reminder (posted 9:26)

Grophland Rules clearly state- Users may only have one free account. Paid users may have additional accounts, but they must all be paid. You may not have both a free account and a paid account.

Each account takes up valuable space in our database for all its items and grophs. The more space taken up the slower the whole site becomes. To cope with that we have to pay for more space and a faster server. The more unpaid accounts we have the more everyone else has to pay to cope with the demand. For this reason we restrict free accounts to one per person, while letting the people who are paying for the whole service have more.

For this week only, we are offering an Amnesty program for multiple account holders. If you report your multiple accounts to a Wizard this week, we will let you keep one of the accounts without any penalty or warning.

If anyone has 2 or more unpaid accounts, or a paid account and an unpaid account, you should gmail a Wizard with the names of all accounts. Clearly state which account you would like to keep and which should be deleted. Active Wizards at this time include David, Victoria, Tiermann, Diana, and MamaZ.

You Grophland users are the best, and make us happy to do the best job we can to keep Grophland nice and fun for all users.

Very Slow (posted 8:41)

The site is suddenly very slow (for me at least) I suspect this is still something to do with our host, I am trying to get an answer from them about it.

Update a generator in our datacenter caught fire! This was the cause of the sudden outage a few minutes ago!

New Recipes (posted 7:36)

Six new recipies have been added to the wizard today .... but they all make the same thing ...

Contests Reopened (posted 11:00)

Okay, changes to the contests have been made ... for more details see the thread on Groph Stats on General

Ruins bug (posted 7:49)

The ruins bug is finally fixed! Your grophs should no longer appear to be bored of it when you have not even been there.

Contests Closing (posted 2:13)

As announced recently contests are going to have yet another upgrade (we will get it right soon we promise). As this upgrade will change the way in which contest XP is calculated, as well as the price to open them, we are suspending the opening of new contests.

New Item (posted 14:56)

Some of you may be pleased to see this ...

New Page (posted 14:56)

Another link has been added to a Groph's lookup page. This lists all their items (except weapons) and their bonuses, and allows you to sort them by bonus.

Forest prize (posted 15:15)

This item goes to Pearl for solving the forest puzzle first

Alchemical Notebook (posted 7:09)

I've been working away on the Alchemical Notebook today. It can now go in a crate without losing it's contents, and it also records any successful recipies you make with the Wizard as you make them.

I have also been working hard on adding more clues for you to find, hidden around the site as usual.

Wizards and Mods Still Here (posted 20:33)

Even though David and Victoria are off on holiday the rest of the Wizards and Moderators are still here, so feel free to contact them as always for help.
