Counterfeit Island

Is Counterfeit Island… counterfeit?

Is Counterfeit Island… counterfeit? No, it’s now out to the public – for real, and now best of all, for FREE! But wait, it IS called Counterfeit for a reason…

The binary numbers translate to ”Beware the Black Widow!” That’s the only spoiler we’ll give here – but if you want more, check out Super De Struguri‘s CI guide by clicking here.
Here are some amazing snapshots from Counterfeit Island! Maybe you can pick up a clue or two from this:
Can you save the day in this crackling canvas caper?

Personally, we think the night-time part was one of the most thrilling and exciting moments. And the inter-island travel to Early Poptropica was awesome! =)

Good luck, and may the Force be with you! xD

Magazines, Web Development

Just cause we’re Poptropicans, yeah

Hopefully all of you were able to have a wonderful winter break – maybe you even took a relaxing vacation away from home! Before you start school again, be sure to…

My Poptropica Help
You may have noticed that we have several different Poptropica Help communities (blog, forums, chatroom, etc.) We have now gathered them on one main homepage (with our own domain!), which can be found at…

http://poptropicahelp.tk

MPH (short for My Poptropica Help; not miles per hour, silly xD) groups our many Poptropica Help sites at one spot so browsing the web can be easier for you. We’ve also listed official Poptropica links, which bring you to places like the Creators’ Blog.

Also included are Poptropica Help Tools such as The Multiverse Project or the Poptropica Help Toolbar. Best of all, little icons and short descriptions relating to each link are there to guide you in choosing which utility YOU would like to use!

After all, it is called My Poptropica Help. In fact, if MPH has really helped you, don’t forget to help spread the word with one of our banners! We hope each and every Poptropica link is a good one for you. :mrgreen:

Mythology Island, Sneak Peeks

A Greek God has entered Poptropica…

Hello fans of the Poptropica Help Blog–Neat Whale posting! Seems that there’s a new Creator, and a new island, AND the Creators are stealing Tyrian’s ideas. Here’s what new Poptropica Creator Hades posted:

HADES IN DA HOWWWOOOSSSS!!!

I decided to rise from the Underworld and see how the new island is coming along. Not quite as cool as where I’m from, but it should be fine for you living, breathing *gag* mortals.

Animadverto vos nunc 😉

HADES

Personally, I find it a little bit creepy that they’re copying Tyrian’s idea…I mean, who knows what they could do next?

Also, according to Wikipedia, Hades is the Greek God of the Underworld. (For those that think he’s Roman, you’re thinking about Pluto. 😉 ) Below the picture of the webpage, it shows that the three-headed dog, Cerberus, the Helm of Darkness, the Helmet of Invisibillity, Cypress, Narcissus, and the Key of Hades are his symbols. Also, that he’s a brother to Poesidon (God of the Sea), Demeter (‘Earth-Mother’), Hestia (Goddess of the Hearth), Hera (Goddess of Women and Marriage), and Zeus (God of the Gods), and his parents are Cronus and Rhea. This dude has a pretty big family, don’t you think? xD

From all of the history surrounding this guy and the looks of the island in the backround, it’s probably a new island the Creators are working on that is about Greek mythology, and not Reality TV. If it was RTV though…uh… well, do you think a gameshow where you have to beat Gods sounds good? I don’t. So, let’s just hope it’s a new island and that we don’t have to battle the dude that rules the Underworld, huh?

Before I wrap up this post, be sure to check out the latest Poptropican’s 911, for all your Poptropica Emergancies! 😀

I guess that means I’m out–see ya!
