The staff of Growtopia is a group of people assigned with different tasks to assist the players, engage with the community, collate feedback, and enforce the rules in the game, Discord server, and the forums. Under Ubisoft's reign, there are currently five types of staff members in Growtopia, namely: Abu Dhabi Community Team, Abu Dhabi Dev Team, Community Team - Support, Moderators, and Guardians.
However, previously, during Seth and Hamumu's reign, there were only two types of staff members: Developers and Moderators.
Original Developers
The original developers are the creators of the game. They were responsible for things implemented in the game. Like moderators, they enforced the rules in the game.
