Shrink Ray Island

The top 10 and an away notice

elmopwns

Hello everyone, it’s EP back again for another new post based on the..*drumroll*…TOP 10 FINISHERS OF SHRINK RAY ISLAND! Let’s give it up for the top 10 people! The new PCB post details the first people to finish. Personally, I think they should include an exact amount of time for us. Just an idea to keep track on how long it took to finish each island. 😉 Anyways, here goes the new PCB post:

Congratulations to the first 10 finishers of Shrink Ray Island!

Finishing Shrink Ray Island is no small task. These 10 Poptropicans went above and beyond, becoming the first to complete the quest!

1. Funny Lobster

2. Super Fox

3. Curious Popper

4. Squeezy Hamburger

5. Prickly Spider

6. Crazy Dolphin

7. Fearless Tornado

8. Sleepy Horse

9. Silver Foot

10. Grey Icicle

We can’t wait to see many more of you solving the mystery of the Shrink Ray gun and earning that Island Medallion.

Finished…already?! Boy, it t0ok me 30 minutes just to find out how to get shrinked to miniature size 0.0…a fail, I know :D. I was walking around and didn’t know what to do. I heard it took most people HOURS if not more than a day to figure it out. Luckily, I had help finishing the island and writing out my guide along the way (special thanks to Hijuyo for her amazing edits and publishing).

But the top 10 finished this fast?! Someone could’ve finished in an hour and still not be top 10. A lot of my friends woke up at 7 or 6 in the morning just to get on before the servers were flooded with people. These people must’ve finished less than my buddies’ times. Some people just work fast I guess ;). The top 10 people of epicness are:Funny Lobster, Super Fox, Curious Popper, Squeezy Hamburger, Prickly Spider, Crazy Dolphin, Fearless Tornado, Sleepy Horse, Silver Foot, and finally, Grey Icicle. Job well done :D.

On another note to all the awesome readers of this Poptropica blog: I will be leaving on Sunday at 5:00 PM to catch a 7:00 PM flight back to China to visit relatives and such. I really do hope the flight won’t be that boring and monotonous like last time. I had to be in a seat all night with a 10 year old telling me at least a dozen stories :/ about how “he liked squirrels.”

I’ll be on vacation there for some time enjoying the hot weather, enjoying the food and cuisine, visiting some people, and visiting some historical sights. Unfortunately, there are drawbacks of going to a communist country :(. The Chinese government doesn’t like “freedom of speech” so they’ve pretty much banned all religious sites, all email communication, like gmail and yahoo, unless approved by the government. So yeah, a really bad thing about visiting.

I’m telling you this because I may be inactive on posting for this blog for part of my stay because of sight seeing and such. But fear not, readers, I’ve installed a private proxy server to hide my IP so I can surf the web in an anonymous proxy location and visit sites that I normally can’t visit there like Gmail or Blogger or even WordPress (phew).

So I can still post time to time and be on the chat, although your morning is my night in the USA so no one will be on at the chat room..except maybe Hijuyo, since we’ll be living in the same region :D, so yeah. That’s pretty much it. I’ll post time to time on the blog and make sure all posts are updated each day when I come back from wherever I’m going. I’m still able to surf the web with a private proxy. I’ll be there for 2 weeks and be back in about 16 days to be active again. Wish me a good voyage, people! Thanx.

-EP signing out until I get to China.

The Official Guide to Poptropica!

elmopwns

It’s EP here for a new post. How’s everyone doing? Cruising? Enjoying the summer? That’s nice! I’m almost too lazy today to get out of my video game lounge playing meh xbox to type up a new post :P. But here it goes, the creators have announced the official guide to Poptropica.

Merchandising for the game was hinted some time ago, around a year, in a post on this blog about future products like backpacks and books. I don’t remember who posted it or how they got to it, but I remember the clue was inside a post about a news article on the web interviewing someone that worked on Poptropica. Well, now it’s finally here! Check it out:

Announcing the Poptropica guidebook!

It’s true: Poptropica: The Official Guideis coming! This full-color guidebook contains walkthroughs for most Poptropica Islands, behind-the-scenes looks at how an Island is made, and quotes from the Poptropica Creators. Poptropica: The Official Guide will be released on October 13. For a special sneak preview, visit the Poptropica guidebook page on Amazon.com for a special preview: an interview with Jeff Kinney, Poptropica creator and Diary of a Wimpy Kid author!

October 13th??? Whatttttt? Are they not done editing it or publishing it or something? We’ll have to wait months before we can get an actual copy of this book. I can’t wait to find out what’s inside. I don’t know if they’d include island guides, but maybe only tips and info on the islands. A guide might spoil the fun and surprise perhaps.

On the cover of the book is a Poptropican swinging on a rope…don’t fall. I just felt like saying that ;). The cover also shows various Poptropica characters and a location situated on Mythology Island. You can get read an exclusive interview with Jeff Kinney on the amazon webpage. Cannot wait to obtain my own copy of this book now :). What do you think? Will you buy it? Comment below.

20 rarest items: The Finale

elmopwns

This is it, people! It’s the grand finale for the 20 rarest items of Poptropica history (so far at least)! We’re down to the top 5 rarest items of all time now. Here’s a new creators post detailing the big 5:

The 20 rarest items in Poptropica, part 5

This is it. To celebrate the launch of our 20th Island, Shrink Ray Island, today we conclude our list of the 20 rarest items in Poptropica history.

4. Hypnotic

This dazzling costume was available for a short time by clicking on an otherwise unremarkable window in Early Poptropica.

3. Cryptids Nessie Hat

One of the hardest items to acquire in Poptropica’s history was the Nessie Hat during the sneak preview of Cryptids Island. Players could look through a viewfinder on the shores of Loch Ness, and those who spotted Nessie won this item!

2. Wunder Bubble Tonic

Unlike the Loch Ness viewfinder, roping cattle in the Wild West sneak preview wasn’t about luck. But it was incredibly difficult, and not many Poptropicans were able to wrangle all of the prizes from that game, including the final prize, Wunder Bubble Tonic.

1. 3rd Birthday Hat

To win the 3rd birthday hat, a Poptropican had to be incredibly lucky. First of all, you had to be in a common room during our 3rd birthday celebration last September. Next, you needed to see a special balloon appear, which most Poptropicans never did. And finally, you had to click on the balloon before you left the room! Those who made it were rewarded with the 3rd birthday hat, the rarest item in the history of Poptropica.

If you missed any of these rare items over the past 20 Poptropica Islands, never fear: there will be a lot more costumes and powers to come from the next 20 Islands — and beyond!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

 For number 5 is that weird looking hypnotic costume from a hunt on Early Poptropica. An image revealed clicking on a window for the hunt, posted in the creators blog. They gave us picture clues. Clicking on the right window gave you a special costume! Too bad I didn’t get it, thought it was weird :/.
Next up is the Nessie hat! Remember that loch ness sneak peek we had before Cryptids Island offically launched? That’s right, some seconds on the view finder to find nessie. Members got more time, though. But the PHB did it again! They found a way to get more time, just log out and log back in again! Many people probably used this effecient method. Some might’ve seen all sorts of stuff like a flying balloon, a dog, Skullduggery Island ships (captain c’s ship was there…hmmmm, yummm…lobster :D), but if you were really lucky, the chance of probability shined upon you and you would see…Nessie! That unlocks this special hat (wonder if coderkid or codien could hack into that to put it on MAP or something, modify a poptropican 😉 ).
The wonder bubble tonic was the final and most difficult prize to recieve. One had to wrangle all the cows/herd them in order to recieve it. When you drink it you immediately turn blue, and blue bubbles escape from your mouth. Finally, remember Poptropica’s 3rd Birthday? Ahhh, 3 years of fun, fun, and more fun. The servers were swarmed with players trying to find special balloons in Multiplayer Rooms. Upon clicking on the balloon got you the rarest prize of all, 3rd bday hat! Of youcrse, I bet it would’ve taken hours and hours of finding to actually spot the balloon.
So that’s the conclusion! The 20 rarest items have come to a stop, people!

20 rarest items, part 4

elmopwns

Ep back again for a new post! It hasn’t been done in 12 hours, so I’m glad to say I’m straight on it! We’re coming up with part 4 of the epic new series of rare items on Poptropica, although in my own opinion they don’t seem so rare. Rare determines how many are left, but not entirely the difficulty to obtain them :/. So up next, we’re coming up with part 4: all gold items! You may have been familiar with gold items throughout the Poptropica Store. Gold ninjas, gold robin hoods, gold aliens…ftw, and special followers. But these were limited edition items, and one was members only! Most of them can no longer be obtained.

The 20 rarest items in Poptropica, part 4

We’re continuing our countdown of the 20 rarest items in Poptropica.
8. Woodstock Follower

This special item was available to Poptropica Members during the launch of Great Pumpkin Island. Snoopy’s pal, Woodstock, will follow you around anywhere you go!

7. Robin Hood Limited Edition

You can still find the standard-issue Robin Hood costume in the Poptropica store, but this limited edition was available for only a short time back in 2009.

6. Renegade Robot Limited Edition

Like the limited edition Robin Hood costume, the Renegade Robot was available in the Poptropica Store for one short week back in August of 2009.

5. Light Ninja

The most sought-after costume from those heady days of summer 2009, the Light Ninja lives on in the hearts and minds of Poptropicans everywhere.

Tomorrow: the 4 rarest Poptropica items!

avatar image

There we have it! The woodstock stalker follower is a members only, the light ninja was limited edition, and renegade robot alien, brainish…dude…yeah…as well as Robin Hood can no longer be obtained. Nice marketing, creators ;). Way to get us to buy something, trying to startle us with the fact that it will no longer be up for future uses, really, good marketing. All of these except the Woodstock follower cannot be obtained. Isn’t it kind of weird having someone follow you the whole time…watching your every move? Even in bed when your Poptropican sleeps? 0.0. They were limited edition, that’s that. Thanks for reading this new post!

On a quick note: I shall be heading  back to my China for relative visiting in one and a quarter weeks! I will give you more detail as to how long my stay will be. It won’t be too long, btw. Probaly a week or so…they make good Chao Mien :)…(noodles). And the bad thing is that the police will probaly beat the living heck out of you if you insult “our glorius communist leaders.” -_-…

The 20 rarest things

elmopwns

It’s Elmopwns here. How’s everyone doing during the Summer? I know I’m enjoying it :D.  Anyways, enough about my personal small sentence of blogging, people. I’ll tak a break for posting to let some other author post, but here’s the new post, people!

The 20 rarest items in Poptropica

Good news, everyone: Shrink Ray Island launches on June 30!It’s hard to believe, but Shrink Ray Island will be the 20th Poptropica Island. That’s a lot of adventures — lots of characters to meet, foes to battle, and items to collect.In the time since we introduced Early Poptropica, some items have been harder to find than others. To celebrate our 20th Island, we’ll be counting down the 20 rarest items in Poptropica. How many of these rare items do you have in your inventory?

20. Brain Hat

The cell phone on Nabooti Island holds many secrets. If you dial 411 and then make a call, you’ll find yourself with all the information you could ever need!

19. Viking Suit

The Viking Suit is tucked away in the upper righthand corner of the Viking time period on Time Tangled Island. It’s not necessary to complete the quest, so some Poptropicans missed it. To get the Viking Suit, equip the glider from Leonardo’s workshop, and then glide from the Viking mountain until you land on the ledge with the suit.

18. Multiverse

It’s the priciest item in the Poptropica Store, but the most versatile. With the Multiverse, you can create your own room and invite your real-life friends to chat and battle.

17. Nabooti Mask

To celebrate the launch of Nabooti Island, we hid this mask somewhere on Spy Island for a short period of time. This isn’t the only treasure hunt item that will show up on this countdown!

Tomorrow, we’ll count down the next four items!

 Couple of big things are announced here. The first and most exciting one is that Shrink Ray Island kicks off on June 30th! :D. Members will be able to play the sheer awesomeness of this new science island! You get to turn small, make your way across a giant world, and stop evil masterminds from taking the shrink ray…sounds fun :D. I can’t wait to play the epicness of this new island!

In the meantime, it is also noted that it is de 20TH ISLAND!!! To celebrate that, the top 20 rare list has begun. Get ready to view four rare items every day, all starting from top 20 to the number one! Many of these items might even be leaks from islands like Monster Carnival, a never released island that came off the map. I wonder if they’ll post any leaked items like the bat wings or unicorn horns and such.

The 20th, 19th, 18th, and 17th items on the top rare list! Number 20 is the Brain helmet. Veteran players will remember the phone on Nabooti island. Type 411 to get the brain helmet. There are also other phone codes, which can be found on the cheat codes page.

Number 19 is the Viking Suit. Arm yourself with axe, chainmail, and helm to look just like a medieval viking! This can be obtained after several attempts of getting the suit on Time Tangled island. You just have to get a good positioning and glide over to where it’s located. Again, not neccessary to complete the island, but it is a cool edition to your costume collection :).

Number 18 is the multiverse. Sure, it might cost the most, at 350 credits. But you can create your own rooms for friends and such to party in. It’s like a private multiplayer room, also why it costs so much.

Number 17. was the nabooti tribe mask! This ancient helmet can be obtained actually in TWO ways. You could’ve gotten it during that short period of time on Spy Island. You could also costumize the group of nabooti hunter ghosts that appear on Nabooti Island before you talk to them!

Thanks for reading this. Again, if the kick off of Shrink Ray island is Jun 30th. We’re getting a top 20 list of rare items to obtain, possibly complete with leaked items. To add to that, we got free time…for three months. It’s summer and all. If none of that can get you hyped up, there’s just nothing to please you…jk.
