  • Server Reset:
    • The Seed of Gonzo is now Gardens of Gonzo
    • Due to massive changes in vital game systems many items became obsolete. Those you will not see again. On the other hand many new items made it into the game.
    • Some estates and worlds have been deleted. All items of all players (except for doors and labels) have been deleted.
    • All players have been reset to level 0 and teleported back to the Newbie Hut.
    • Due to some inconsistencies while importing the old homepage, the forum content is lost. Sorry for that.

If you like this game a lot, please consider upgrading your account to premium. This will boost the development and will give you more features at a faster pace.

Check out the new features and please give us feedback in the forums. If you find a bug, please send me an ingame message.

Please note, that the homepage is not nearly complete, multiple sections like the features page or the guide need thorough enhancements. It’ll do for now.

Above all, have a nice Christmas!

See ya ingame,
-Rammy
