Horrors! There is an impostor loose in Grophland! Some wily Groph is pretending to be our own Dear Mayor Amadeus! If you should see a Groph looking like our Mayor please post the suspect in the Lineup thread in the General forum. Hopefully we can apprehend the miscreant before Mayor Amadeus' Birthday.

New Clothing! (posted 6:29)

Yes, features is finally closed, and the first batch of your new creations is even now rushing it's way to the Grophland shops! More will follow!

Updates (posted 2:32)

There have been a number of look and feel updates in the last day or two. There are also a few bugs associated with them (aren't there always) that we are working on now.

• The site menus have been updated to a slightly new look and position. This caused a few problems with IE7 and IE8 which I think are now fixed. In addition they do not appear to be working on the AOL browser, we will make an attempt to fix this if we can.
• Your newest four subscribed threads now appear in a section at the top of the forum list.
• Amadeus' shop now shows a stock list if visited by a non-paid user
• Games that offer radiant coins now have a small radiant coin icon in the House of Games.

Radiant Coins and the Radiant Store (posted 4:35)

Today we are proud to announce the brand new Radiant Coins and the Radiance Store. Radiant Coins are ultra-rare coins that can be used to buy items in the Radiance Store in Grophtown.

Radiant Coins can be obtained by doing well at the games in the House of Games. Any game with a score list can award a Radiant Coin if you get a good enough score (each game will tell you the score needed), but only one every two days. You can also trade six golden coins at the Golden Brotherhood once every five days to get a single coin.

So what can you do with them when you have them? You can buy these wonderful items!

Be aware, however, that the Radiant shop is only open when Ellyria appears, so only a few days a month. The rest of the time, however, the shopkeeper will be happy to show you what you could be buying.

Goodbye Easter, Hello Leaptide! (posted 4:42)

The contest results are in, and Easter is now officially renamed Leaptide on Grophland. Many thanks to everyone who contributed their suggestions to the story of Leaptide. I've taken bits from lots of your tales to construct our newly renamed holiday, especially Tiermann, Redwater, megamegaman342, gemma and wafflez, but all your stories had an influence. For that reason I've given everyone who contributed a unique avatar as thanks! Wear it with pride.

High Scores (posted 8:39)

High Score tables have been added to a number of our games. So far we have High Scores for Grophtet, Grophamun's Tomb, Bubble Pyramid, Ivory Tiles, The Archer and Dairy Snail Herding. Can you grab a spot on the table for your favorite game? Can you beat the number one?

Note that games with multiple modes have a score table for each mode.

The Golden Brotherhood (posted 2:23)

The Golden Brotherhood has undergone a facelift. Purchasing a coin is no longer a two-click operation, and the Golden Brothers have dumped their old look for a stylish new outfit.

Grophland Facebook App (posted 8:03)

Love Grophland? Love Facebook? Now your Grophs can come with you to Facebook, and you can chat to them, and show them off on your profile, all within Facebook!

How? Just visit http://apps.facebook.com/grophland, approve the application, and follow the onscreen instructions, which will let you add a Groph tab to your profile and display your favorite Groph on it.

Don't worry, other than linking your Groph to your Facebook profile nothing else will happen when you sign up, and you can always use the Facebook privacy options to keep the tab to yourself.

The Fire Festival is here! (posted 8:48)

Yes it's Fire Festival day on Grophland, when Grophs go out into the night to leap bonfires, wear masks, and cause trouble. Lock up your little ones and take care, there is no law tonight! Nevertheless many Grophs want to go out to play tonight, and those that do may bring back precious items so it might be worth the risk. Don't forget to come on and play!

Fire Festival Flame (posted 8:46)

Some Grophs may bring this back from playing this year
