Chain Letters (posted 8:11)

While chain letters may seem innocent enough, they are pretty annoying as the Halloween Chain Letter that has been making its way around Grophland has demonstrated. We would like to remind users that chain letters are considered spam and, as such, sending them to other users is against the rules and users will be warned for spamming others.

Owners away next week (posted 2:13)

This is just to let you know that the owners will be away next week. Amongst other things this will probably mean that account payments do not get processed, though we will try to get online and check them at some point during the week.

Internet Safety (posted 8:00)

Although the mods and wizards work to make this site a safe place for you all to play with your grophs and enjoy being friends, it's come to our attention that some of you are giving away personal information that your Mums and Dads might not be happy about you revealing, and that you probably shouldn't put in public areas for your own safety.Here's a list of the things that you should not post on your look-ups or in the forums:

Please remember that if a stranger on Grophland asks you for personal information that you're not happy revealing, you should tell a Wizard or Moderator straight away.

The Wizards and Mods will be looking at your look-ups over the next few days and keeping an eye on forum posts, and will be asking you to remove any information that we feel might be putting you at risk.

New Wizard Recipies (posted 6:33)

New Style User Shops (posted 7:10)

As from today the user shops have had a big restyling. There are a number of changes

1. The items in the shop are now broken into groups, by type, with all the items of the same type together. This will make them much easier to browse
2. When you follow a link from the shop search to a user shop you will go directly to the item you searched for
3. When you update your shop prices you can now update multiple prices (or all prices) at once. Change as many prices as you like and then either press enter while the cursor is in a price field, or click the nearest 'update prices' button (there is one at the start of every section

These changes should make the shops far easier to use

New Forum (posted 9:57)

New Forest Items (posted 2:45)

Single Player Combat (posted 14:57)

As of today your grophs can fight a single-player combat against a computer opponent! These fights follow the same rules as a normal battle, and all normal items can be used in them, but they only need one player. A number of monsterous opponents are already waiting to fight you, and more will come.

At the moment the single-player combat system is still in testing. We have opened it to all players, but there may still be some bugs. Also (for now) the combat is free, and doesn't give a prize at the end. We may charge in the future (not sure) and there may be prizes as well. Note that you do not need to be on full hits to enter a one-player combat, and that your groph will be healed back to its starting hits at the end of the combat, or if you withdraw.

To try the single player combat now just go to the arena and follow the link to The Pit
