Closing the book, but opening a new page

Poptropica’s Facebook fan club, one of our resources for Poptropica sneak peeks and updates, will be closing. This message was left on their chat wall:

Well, fans, at the end of this week, we’re closing up shop here on the Poptropica Facebook page. The good news: You can continue to get sneak peeks and breaking news over at the official Poptropica blog (http://blog.poptropica.com)! And keep an eye out for one more special treat for our Facebook fans before we go.

There’s also a new Froot Loops quest for younger Poptropicans, on Main Street (see picture below). For older players, you’ll be playing Monster High.

Creepy, or cool? Check out this costume sneak peek from the Creators’ Blog:

In other news…

  • Some of you may have voted in the poll on Hyper Star’s Let’s Hang 10! post. We’re excited to say that the Poptropica Help Blog will soon be changing to a new website layout theme called Ocean Mist – to honor Poptropica’s theme color, blue!
  • Two of our Poptropica Help Team staffers, Neat Whale/WhispersSecret and Coskit – have decided to leave the PHB and move on with their lives. We will miss them, but please respect their decisions. For those wondering, 2 new staff members may soon join us.
  • Firefox users, check out this awesome Poptropica Help community persona for your web browser, created by Frostdragon! Click here to wear the persona.

  1. Blue Header- It seems nice, but I’ll miss the old one. Aww! I’ll really, really REALLY miss Coskit and NW. I have a few words to say:

    Coskit- I’ve seen you a lot on Poptropica Chat… You were funny and awesome and always let your grammar skills shine. I’ll miss you…

    Neat Whale- I’ve seen you at Poptropica Chat too, but not as often. Either way, you were great. I guess this really will be good-bye.

    Both of you pwn!!!

    Sincerely,
    Silverwolf1 (aka Max aka Jenna aka Alice)

  2. !!! YAY! I luv the blue theme. :3 I don’t really care about the Facebook page closing cuz it’s similar to the things on the blog. I’m nawt allowed on Facebook anyway. XP Well, can’t wait for the new whatever the come up with! Oh, and the girl’s ad thing isn’t available anymore. Nao, for younger players, it’s only the Froot Loops ad. 😉

    1. I still don’t understand the point of Poptropica opening a Facebook page in the first place…Facebook is known to be only for 16-ups but the age limit on Poptropica is 6-15…

      -Meeeeeeeee

      Hijuyo: They might have been trying to target a teen audience. Also, the minimum age requirement for Facebook is 13 – but some people will lie about their age to make an account there. x)

  3. where can you get the monster high outfit??

    Hijuyo: From the Monster High advertisement building..

  4. WHat do they mean”a suprise for our facebook friends”?

    Hijuyo: Maybe we’ll find out soon.

  5. A few of the outfits were kinda stupid, no offense. But I liked the Frankenstein one with the bolts, green shirt w/ blue heart, etc.
    xD

  6. What “Special treat?” It would be cool if the people who have facebook all got free membership…

    Hijuyo: They never announced their ‘special treat’… D:

What's popping, Poptropicans?
