Bonus Items, Membership, S.O.S. Island

Disastrous, Wild & Free

Ahoy, sailors! Members, remember the brilliant Sea Captain costume you received? We’re reluctant to announce that’s coming to an end only one week – Thursday, February 16th. Though, anyone who gets Membership after next Thursday will still be able to get Sonar Power and Fishing Pole, but the Sea Captain costume is only available during the Early Access period.

Yep, non-members, I said it. Only available during the Early Access period. Therefore I am proud to announce that S.O.S. Island is going to be available and free for everyone Thursday, February 16th! Great belated present for Valentine’s Day, huh?

Thanks for reading and may many natural disasters be in your future – on Poptropica. Not literally, that’d be mean.

Touchdown!

Howdy! If you’re unaware, Superbowl ’12 starts off this Sunday in America. The Superbowl is one of the biggest games in America where two American football teams go head-to-head to win the grand trophy. This year, the New York Giants versus the New England Patriots! And Poptropica already had you covered before the weekend came.

In honor of this Sunday, the Poptropica Store has pushed the American Football Player costume back in front. This costume really comes in handy, especially telling every Poptropican that you’re watching this Sunday. Plus, it comes with color options!

Good luck, Giants & Patriots fans! Honestly, I’m on the West Coast so I don’t really care who wins. 😛

S.O.S. Island

Diving Suit Fashion

Bonjour, readers! Less than a week after it’s membership release, PHB posted a tip for S.O.S. Island that could really motivate you for playing it over again – if you’ve completed it, of course! Captain Crawfish, my nemesis, has updated us on another use for the Diving Suit.

But did you know that if you replay S.O.S. Island while wearing the suit, you can stay underwater for much more time? Just open your Island map and hit the “Restart Island” button. Easy peasy!

You read right, Poptropicans! You could stay underwater for much more time with the versatile suit if you replay the island. That’s a very special tip you should be glad the Creators shared – unless you already knew it, of course. And for free-playing Poptropicans, you should really jot down some notes and tips for yourself. Especially a juicy one like this!

Also, Happy Black History Month!

Good night, everybody!

The Wait Is Over

S.O.S. Island launches today for members!

Yes, that’s right! 2012’s first most-anticipated island is finally here – for members anyway. To remind you of what to expect and what you’ve been waiting for, here’s the trailer and description to refresh your memory!

When a whale-watching expedition strikes an iceberg, a pleasure cruise becomes a disaster scene. As the ship sinks deeper and deeper into the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, can you rescue everyone onboard before it’s too late?

Do I hear an after-school party at the PHC or am I just deaf? 😉

Also, with the launch of S.O.S., Black Widow informed us yesterday about three items for, yet again, members to look out for in the store: Sonar Power, Fishing Pole, and Sea Captain! Buy it, activate it, save it. It looks pretty fre$h.

S.O.S. Island

Simply Trapped

We all know about the disastrous island to premiere less than 24 hours, right? I know it, you know it. It’s the one and only Save Our Souls Island! What seems to be the most active member of the PCB, Captain Crawfish has posted a screenshot of a certain obstacle you might run into in this dangerous island.

In over your head?

Don’t let the colorful jewelry and the crystal blue water trick you, y’all. If you look to the left, you see some French. Which reminds me of when we all called Counterfeit Island “French Island” because we had no idea. Looks like it topples over your poor Poptropican, but at least you get to look at something pretty while you figure how to get out.

Tomorrow is the day, Poptropicans. Our first island of 2012 is finally gonna be here.
