Okay… the Poptropica Friends page has become a little TOO popular…

Update: Everything is back to normal; PopFriends is back up!

Before the Creators signed off (kinda) for the weekend, they released this post about this being a big week in Poptropica and all….

CAUTION: FRIDAY REFERENCE AHEAD 

Friday, May 4, 2012

Everybody’s working for the weekend

 

Whew! What a week it was at Poptropica. One day, we launched Poptropica Friends, and the next day, we opened up Twisted Thicket to everyone. Now, the weekend begins, and we plan to rest a bit — but we hope you’ll take the next few days to dive in and take advantage of all the great new stuff Poptropica has to offer!

So get out there — earn photos, make friends, and explore the tangled undergrowth of Twisted Thicket. And keep an eye out for all the other great stuff that’s coming soon to Poptropica, including Poptropolis Games!

But there’s one problem with that…

There’s that message that’s been appearing on all the profile pages.

Random Person: Aw, come on! I wanna see my pictures!

Well… the Creators were able to explain the phenomonon. (is that spelled right?)

Friends overload!

 
Whoa! We hoped that everyone would like Poptropica Friends, but even we didn’t expect it to be thispopular. The demand for all the new Friends features has been so great that it’s overloaded our servers! As a result, we’ve temporarily had to turn off some of the features to address the load.Be assured, we’re working hard behind the scenes to bring everything back up to speed. We’ll post any updates right here.Thank you for your enthusiasm!

Ah well. Patience isn’t gonna keep me down.

Poptropolis Games Island

In the underwater city of…

Poptropolis! 😀

Hey guys, BT here! The new island has been announced! Remember those Greek ruin-esque Daily Pops you saw? Well, these Creators give us something to really leave us anticipating: a trailer that doesn’t yet have island footage, but it does give us some facts about what it’s about through stuff… and even a short thing of a Poptropican throwing a javelin!

The PHB’s “Poptropolis Games” Discussion Page can be found here!

Announcing the next Poptropica Island!

 We’re pleased to announce the next Poptropica Island: Poptropolis Games!

We’ll have much more information about Poptropolis Games soon!

Poptropolis Games seems like a combonation of an Olympics event in the Atlantis-like ruins of Poptropolis. There must be a certain time every year, when Poptropolis rises from the water and the people hold an Olympic-like event. And probably each player is divided into “tribes”.
Well, we’ll just have to keep an eye out for the…. JAVELIN!
*BT ducks when the javelin passes over her head*
Random Player: Sorry! Just preparing for the Poptropolis Games!
Well, as I was saying before I was rudely interupted, we’ll have to keep an eye out for more information to come out. Alright, I’m kinda excited now. BT out! *looks at the hole caused by the javelin* Is anybody going to fix that?

Well, there hasn’t been much activity on the PCB this week. However, they leave us with two noticable clues.

Here’s the first post:

Up, up, and away!

 

Some of the inhabitants of Twisted Thicket can be pretty prickly!

We are flying again? Seems like.
 
… at least those dryads seem nice.
 
Secondly, the mysterious new tab could be introduced soon. And the Creators show it by having Bigfoot and Gretchen Grimlock try to stick their tongues to their noses.

Well. It looks like we’ll be answering random questions. Wonder what they will be. In the meantime, please enjoy this short skit based on the above PCB post:
 
Gretchen: I- I almost got it!
 
Brave Tomato: Gretchen, it’s a little late to try.
 
Gretchen: Sheesh! If this is what I have to do to be on a blog, then I will do it!
 
*Gretchen looks at Bigfoot. He shows off succeeding.*
 
Gretchen: *scoffs* Show-off. Unless… hmm… *takes out a switch*
 
Brave Tomato: Umm…. what are you doing?
 
Gretchen: What do you think? *presses the button*
 
*A cage falls. However, it surrounds Gretchen*
 
Gretchen: What?! *keeps pressing the button* No! No! No! Not me!
 
Brave Tomato: We had a feeling you were going to try something if we put you and Bigfoot in the same room. So we switched the positioning of the cage.
 
Gretchen: *groans*
 
 
Well, BT out! I just added that skit to make this dull post a little more intriging.
Daily Pop, Daily Pop Sneak Peeks

Random Person 2: Twicket…

We’re pleased to announce the next Poptropica Island: Twisted Thicket!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r5KOLUHrGs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Twisted Thicket is a journey into the heart of an enchanted forest. Who knows what dangers await? We’ll have much more information about this new adventure soon!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Twithed Thicket Island, huh? Or is there no “Island” after the name like you did with Mystery Train. Looks like this island will feature fairies, gnomes, a Nøkken, and a town and wood. Maybe we’ll encounter more woodland whimsical creatures.

In the meantime, the Creators also gave us PIE costumes! For PI day!

3.14… well, I forgot the rest although the picture is above me…

Oh well, BT out! I’m gonna practice saying Twisted Thicket.
