The first rollback was due to a glitch where items in the gem store was at [[Rarity]] 999 and you can recycle it to get alot of gems, thus making a rollback to where it has no rarity and could not be recycled. Another rollback was to set the gems to recycle 10% of gems the original price. Setting back to the first rollback they started.
In addition, an [[Apology Week]] has been held once, on July 14, 2020 after Rollback VII. [[Rollback Plaque VII]] was made available during the week.


The other rollback was due to a bug found in the game. When you use a Harvest Moon Blast a null tree might spawn, when harvested you get a nullitem_****(number). Which recycling get you ranging millions of gems down to negative millions of gems.

The newest one, the 4th one. One hacker was able to hack into the Growtopia Admin Controls which was in growtopiagame.com. He got the passwords of @Seth and @Hamumu and was said to spawn Emerald Locks or even Da Vinci Wings and Phoenix Wings. A server restart was to make them untradeable at the moment. The Emerald Locks could not be recycled which needed to be fixed. Their accounts were demoted including their wives account. A rollback was issued to 24 hours due to this.[[Category:Events]]
