RAWR! Poptropica Homepage Edits!

Smockers

UPDATE: Thanks to Blue Robot, we now know a 4th creator and their username! Justin Lacy is confirmed to be Hazmat Hermit! Click this link to see PROOF. For more details and speculation of the “who’s who” mystery of the Poptropica Creators, you can check out the post under this one by Gazek and this thread by ÐéåᶵҤșɫΔᶩҝƩƦ.

Not much real exciting news in the world of Poptropica! However, there is a new advertisement in between locations. It’s for the new PBS Kids show Dinosaur Train. It is (from a quick look at Wikipedia) created by Craig Bartlett who also made the television series Hey Arnold!, a show that I loved. 😀 It premieres September 7th. Check it out!

Sorry, there’s no sound. =( Also, this ad only shows up for 6-8 year-olds. So, if you want to see this in Poptropica and you’re older, just create a new account.

Next, there have been some minor edits to the Poptropica website itself.  As you know, the avatar studio was recently unveiled, and the creators added a button for it.

Just wave to the camera, Raymond! ;D
Just wave to the camera, Raymond! =D

Also, the little yellow button/spiky balloon thing that was next to Astro Knights that provided a link to the trailer is gone! I suppose it wasn’t really new anymore. =P You can find it and other videos at this link: CLICK ME =D

We also have discovered a news site that gives more confirmation that RTV Island is still coming out! This article also details that there will be Poptropica books releasing soon, too! Cool! It also details that Poptropica has (at the time the article was written) made it to the list of the 300 top viewed websites! Be sure to read this whole article below:

This next article also gives some neat achievements Poptropica has managed to achieve. DId you know that more than 120 MILLION characters have been created on the website? THAT’S OVER 9000! They also periodically get 7.5 million kids visiting their site a month. They all come from over 70 different countries! Did you know that Poptropica even comes in over 90 different languages to accommodate all of those visitors from all of those countries? Awesome! Article:

Wow. Looking back on Poptropica, I have to say it has come a long way. From day one, it has continued to entertain and impress many with its engaging islands to play and more ways to hang with your buddies than you can imagine. All I have to say is… THREE CHEERS FOR POPTROPICA! YAY!

Also, please do not forget to check out the posts below! Get in the know about the new devilish and angelic costumes in the Poptropica store, the newly released Avatar Studio, and the name change of your favorite Poptropican! Hope you all have a cookie-filled, Poptropicariffic day! ^_^

      1. I know! At first it was okay. Now its even better! With the POtropica Store, avater studio, new collio islands, the poptropica creators blog. And i bet there is going to be even more cooler stuff! 😆 :mrgreen:

  6. Cool, a book series! Although it says they are only looking at a book series. I hope they will, it would be cool!

  14. Awesome!
    Personally, I think my mom watches Dinosaur Train. 😆
    LOL! Seriously… It’s some weird kid channel… And I have no idea…
    But I’m pretty sure it’s Dinosaur Train.

    Yep. My mom can be a little (a lot) weird sometimes.

      1. I do too! I thought I was just child-like… ALTHOUGH Dinosaur Train is on at that pre-school PBS time… Fetch! is on PBSkidsgo which is for older kids…

  18. *Off Topic*
    If you go to the Frequently Asked Questions page on Poptropica there is a box at the top asking about Poptropica purchases. I’m not sure if it means about orders where you bought credits, or if they are possibly selling Poptropica.

  19. i think he got the name from the whiteboard sneak peek. it had 3 names. Jordan, Chris, and Justin. Then i think he used Google to find the last name and tried it in the Avatar Studio

  20. 2 or 3 islands by the end of the year? Awesome! I hope its true. A moment of silence for RTV. ———- OK, French Island, and Virtual/Color Island, I hope they didn’t trash those ideas.

    1. True!

      Man, We’ve got Shark Boy’s, Comic Kid’s, Dr.Hare, and Hazmat the Hermit!

      Now we just need to get Vlad,
      Director D!

    2. We don’t know FOR SURE that Jeff Kinney is Comic Kid, though. We only based this guess on the fact that he is the creator of the Wimpy Kid stories, and Comic Kid also has ‘kid’ at the end. That’s not definite proof yet. 😉

      2. If you think further, he wrote about a Wimpy kid, I’m not sure but that character sounds nerdy, and comic kid looks a bit like a nerd.

      3. Actually, nerds are people that are very intelligent and proficient in a certain area (Ex: Math nerd). Geeks are people that are very interested in a certain topic (Ex: Halo geek). So technically, Comic Kid would be a comic geek. 😀
        I researched this stuff so people would stop confusing nerds and geeks together. You can be a nerd and a geek, but it gets annoying when you are called a nerd and you’re called a geek, or vice versa. 😀

  23. Hey There is a limited edition Robin hood outfit, anyway on topic I thought Poptropica was only in English! That shows what I know.
