View Grophland your way! (posted 5:00)

They said we couldn't do it (well one person said we wouldn't, which is almost the same), but they were wrong. Today we are proud to release a new feature allowing you to see Grophland in a variety of different graphical themes, as well as the traditional Maroon and White. If all goes well we will continue to refine these themes, and add new ones, as time goes on.

Cool Blue

Minty

Stained Glass

To change theme just go to your My menu and look for the 'themes' sub-menu.

Harvest Ball This Saturday (posted 13:24)

With the Harvest King and Queen now chosen, along with their courts, plans are well underway for this Saturday's Grand Harvest Ball. Dance Cards are available at the Harvest Shop now. The announced schedule includes the introduction of the Court and assorted Dignitaries around 20:00 GMT on Friday the 15th. The Grand Harvest Ball will officially open at 9:00 GMT Saturday in the General Forum and will run for a full 24 hours. Much dancing, entertainment and assorted merriment will occur.

Rules Changes (posted 2:56)

We have added some new rules clarifying the situation surrounding Paid users who create free accounts, whether to sell, to play secretly, or to use from some other computer. This is now officially against the rules. It was always against the spirit of the rules (that people should only get one account each unless they pay for them all), but now it's against the letter too. If you want a second account, pay for it. If you want to buy an account for someone else, use the comments on the payment page to say who you are buying for, rather than creating an account first and then trying to pay later.

As part of this change we will be deleting extra free accounts that paid users may hold, even if they created them from a computer other than their normal one. However since we've let things slide before we won't be doing it instantly, and we will warn you first, so if you want to remove items, or pay for the accounts, you'll have a chance.

Tiny Groph in a Vase (posted 4:07)

Expensive beyond belief? Pointless? It's art you skinflints!

Amadeus back in place, all is well! (posted 8:29)

Never fear, the Mayor is here!

Responding to popular demand the Mayor has returned to Grophtown. The Town Hall has re-opened, bank interest rates have returned to normal, and all is well.

Amadeus come home! (posted 1:46)

Do you want Amadeus back as Mayor? Do you want him to stay in exile and never return? Either way you should head west along the beaches of the Jungle Island till you find him and cast your vote!
