THE NEW GAZETTE IS HERE
By MrQB
Hey Growtopians. The moment you’ve all been waiting for is here. The new EXTENDED Growtopia Gazette is finally here! Since the devs can only fit so much in such a small amount of space in game, we’ve decided to actually create an entire newspaper with all of the latest news! Forget about knowing one or two sentences about a new event in Growtopia, now you can know EVERYTHING (well, almost everything). We’re here to help you have the best Growtopia experience possible! We’ll try to go intro as much detail as possible to understand things, but if you still don’t understand, feel free to /msg the writer! We have gotten approval from Growtopia Support to work on this project, so we will make it the best we can. Anyways, enough about this new newspaper, we know you want INFO! So why don’t you scroll down and read some AWESOME news!
An e-mail from the Growtopia Staff approving this newspaper!

They’re Here
By MrQB
That’s right, Growtopians; villains have finally
managed to stumble into Growtopia. I think
some of you were expecting it, though, because
we did have the Superhero Pack released a few
months ago. What good are superheroes with
no one to fight…except @Dr. Destructo, of
course. Anyways, the new Crime Wave pack
was released on Thursday, February 19th. The
pack grants a total of 25 cards (5 different cards
that include 5 each) and a Criminal Wave,
which summons four criminals to the world you
use it in. You can use the cards to battle each
villain. You’ll need 5 different cards to start
fighting, and you can use them unlimited times
during the fight. Each card has its own effect,
and it works similar to rock paper scissors; fire
beats strength, strength beats lightning,
lightning beats water, and water beats fire.
You can win numerous prizes from defeating a
villain, including portraits of them! For more

V-Day Quotes
By the RT Soft Forumers Valentine’s day has just passed, but here are
some awesome quotes to go with it!
“Anyone can catch your eye, but it takes
someone special to catch your heart.”
-Woshabox
“Also known as the day of love, in Growtopia it
has a special meaning to it. It is known as the
time to get rich, ha-ha *wink wink*. Well
basically, Valentine’s Day spent in Growtopia is
like spending a day in Tokyo Disney Land. By
that I mean, your friends will spam valentines,
perfumes or candy hearts on you. It is a day of
love so you can buy the Valentine’s day pack
and share the love with your friends and
buddies in Growtopia.” –Nekokun
“If you have half a million gems, you probably
still won't get a golden heart crystal.” –abt79
“All you need is love. But a little chocolate now
and then doesn't hurt.” –aqq
“Words begin with ABC, music begins with
DoReMi, numbers start with 123, but love starts
with you and me!” –Fredi
“I love bunnies k” –MrMehMeh
“Roses are red, violets are blue, you love me as
I love you!” –Mattz24
“True love is like a window, because you can
see it when it happens.” –PumpkinSeeds

Story of the Month
About Story of the Month
Story of the Month is a writing contest for all Growtopians. It
must be fictional! You’ll have up until the 25th of each month
to submit your thread at growgazette.weebly.com or on the
RT Soft Growtopia Forums. The judges will pick the best
story to publish in each month’s issue. Winner gets 3 WLs. By Packs
Once there was one world which was an
empty world. One day Seth and Hamumu
used the power of Scripting to make 2
Growtopians. The first Growtopians ever
made! He made them everything you could
imagine and couldn't imagine. Huge
towers, packs, shoes, pants, and more! The
only thing that they didn't have was a door.
They could do anything BUT break the only
tree there. The first Dirt Tree. One of the
Growtopians name was Gren. He was a
nice and kind Growtopian. He wore brown
shoes, blue pants, a green shirt, and had
red hair (The Growtopia logo). The other
Growtopian, Drow, was a selfish
Growtopian who had evil plans for the
future. He only wore Devil wings and he
mostly put devil horns on himself. One day,
Drow was thinking that if he broke the dirt
tree then he would have as much power or
possibly more than Seth and Hamumu.
Gren heard of Drow's plans and tried to
stop him. Then, a not-so-epic battle of
Drow vs Gren Started. In the end, Gren got
knocked out. As soon as Drow broke the
dirt seed he got 4 dirt blocks. Just then, he
found that a door was right on top of him.
He was curious what was in the door. So he
used the dirt blocks to get the door. When
Gren woke up, he saw that Drow was 2 dirt
places away from the door. He was
thinking that he will never get up there in
time to stop Drow. Suddenly, Gren grew
Angel wings on his back. He now had the
ability to double jump. He then took 2 big
leaps. When he got to the door, it was too
late. Drow had already gone into the door.
When Gren went into the door, he was
warped into a different world as Drow. The
world name was called "Heaven". As for
Drow, he got warped to Hell. When Drow
broke the dirt seed, he unleashed all the
bad things about growtopia (Drop Games
griefing, Etc). The Sacred land that they
were in could only be reached My
warped into a different world as Drow. The
world name was called “Heaven”. As for
Drow, he got warped to “Hell”. When Drow
broke the dirt seed, he unleashed all the bad
things about Growtopia (Drop Games
griefing, Etc). The Sacred land that they
were in could only be reached by Moderators
and Developers.
If You took the Gr from Gren and Ow from
Drow, It makes the word Grow.

1000 Gems Debate
By LEVELUPMAN
Remember those first moments of you
playing Growtopia? When you took weeks
just to get enough gems to buy your first
World Lock? I want to change that. I think
new players should start off with 1,000
gems when they join the game. This way,
they could get richer not only quicker, but
also easier. I think they would appreciate it
a lot! They can buy rare items (such as the
rare seed pack) to buy World Locks with and
become as rich as Rubie! (Maybe if they’re a
lucky winner, they could even get a chance
of 2,000 gems, instead of 1,000!) Now,
everyone who joins the game will get 1,000
free gems, and their dreams will come true!
Also, don’t make noob accounts just to get
free gems, it’s not fair.

Forum Opinions
“BAD IDEA: newbies need to learn how to
earn, if they get everything granted to them
they'll beg and beg and beg” –Dark_Heat
“Yes, I would agree with this idea to give
nubie starter gem amount, but what if the
nubie use those gem to broadcast to scam? I
think we should decrease the amount to 600
only bc 6 time and able let you buy 3 pack of
rare seed!” –iDubstep
“I think they should not, and they should
earn their own gems.” –Oscur
“I do think this is a good idea. Although it
has its disadvantages. Seth has probably
thought of this already. If everyone started
with 1000 gems, imagine all the noobs
buying useless stuff for they don’t know the
prices. Starting with 0 gems makes it a nice
challenge to come to. Also, people would
make tons of accounts and steal all the gems
that make people extremely pro in a matter
of seconds. This shouldn’t be done unless
further thought out.” –TehUnicurn
“I would but I have a farm so I don't need
the gems. Idea is gud too.” –craft3d
“YEA MAKE 1000 ACCOUNTS” –Freezing
“What if you could only get 1 free gem prize
per device? Then it might be good...” –MrQB

FORUMERCRAFT
By iReboot
Hey forumers and Growtopians.
Today I would like to talk to you
about my new hang-out world,
FORUMERCRAFT. Basically, it’s just a
world for all of the awesome
forumers to hang out in and build
in! You can build anything you want,
as long as you don’t grief other
players. We already have some pixel
arts and TWO parkours!
@mrthadawee came to the world
on February 21st! This is not a token
world for me, it is a non-profit. My
goal for this world is to bring
forumers closer together, and so
they can meet and become friends
in-game. If you are a forumer and
tell us the password, then you get
access to the world (password can
be retrieved on the RT Soft forums)!
I hope that all forumers will come to
this world and socialize. It would be
great if we had 50 residents there,
because that is my goal; to have 50
admins there each with their own
special area. Thank you for reading
this article, and be sure to stop on
by FORUMERCRAFT! It would be my
pleasure :D Stay awesome

Life in the Fast Lane: Growtopia Style
By HeartFelt
Being a “pro” in Growtopia takes work.
Or money. But mostly work. As you get
richer, your reputation grows. It’s tempting
to turn on friends. I was at a point in my
Growtopia life where I wanted to throw it all
away. All of my success wasn’t worth a penny
compared to my friends, though; I knew it. If
any of you are ever at that point, all you have
to do is think. I know the success and
admiration feels good, but sometimes
feelings deceive you.
There’s another side to the story.
Growtopia players, like yourself, are being
judged for how they look in the game.
Because I’ve recently sold my Autumn Wings
and Chick Leash, I’ve been called hurtful
names. Trust me, it gets to you. Players like
these make me want to quit. Guys, be nice.
Don’t trash the game most of you play every
day! Let’s build the Growtopia economy
instead of destroying it!
Keep Calm and Play Growtopia!

February Carnival
By MrQB
Please keep in mind, this article was
written on February 22nd, before the
carnival came. Ok guys, so on the
forums I’ve seen so many threads
saying “When is the carnival
coming?” It’s all so stupid. I’m not
exaggerating when I say I’ve seen 100
of those threads. If you truly don’t
know, look at one of the other
threads, not create more spam!
Anyways, I’ve come to tell you all
about when the carnival is coming.
The carnival WILL come, but it is
generated on a random date by the
SERVERS. Not even the almighty Seth
and Hamumu know when it’s coming.
So STOP ASKING. All I want to say is
that it’s coming on the 23rd, 24th, 25th,
or 26th of February. I don’t think it will
come on the 27th or 28th because
there are only 28 days in February,
and the carnival lasts for three days.
Anyways, on a happier note, I’m
halfway through doing 24 surgeries
for the Ring Master! What quest are
YOU on?
