Rollback plaque and its tree

The Rollback Plaque is an item that was only obtainable 48 hours after the Rollback occurred. It is yellow in color, and has a gloomy face depicted on the block.

It has a rarity of 1, and was made by splicing a Cave Background seed with a Door seed. It was originally released as a "Perma-item" but the latest server update removed that. Now they can be destroyed without dropping a plaque unlike earlier. They do not drop seeds. Although rollback seeds were available for a short period of time in the store bought seed packs until it was patched. Now these seeds are very uncommon.

  • A Rollback occurred on the 23rd of Febuary, 2013.

This meant that Seth and Hamumu had to restore the game 24 hours back in time. (Twice actually!) Everyone's save progress was lost (from the 24 hour time period). The second rollback occurred only a few hours after the first, and sent us back to the same place we were rolled back to the first time.

For this error, players were rewarded with "Apology Weekend" to make up for their loss of time, which allowed players to splice the rollback plaque, gave players x3 the gem drops from broken blocks, plus every in-app purchase you were awarded 25% extra gems. This event lasted about 36 hours before ending, along with the disappearance of the rollback plaque.

The entire debacle happened because of a glitch in a server update which caused store items with a rarity of 999 to recycle at a higher rate than purchase price. People caught onto the glitch and used it to their advantage to clone huge amounts of gems and buy unlimited world locks. This would have ruined the economy greatly. Luckily the problem was fixed and had an outcome that is best to secure the future of growtopia. Store bought items no longer display a rarity.

The rollback plaque recipe Cave Background seed + Door seed can now be used to splice a Happy Joy plaque instead. (Pretty much the same shape as the Rollback Plaque, only green, and depicts a happy face instead.
