goodbye 2010. hello 2011.

Although not exactly Poptropica-related, we here at the Poptropica Help Blog would like to celebrate the fact that it’s 2011 (or will be, anyway, if you happen to live in a different time zone) – and the PHB is still here after all this time to bring you Poptropica goodness! ๐Ÿ˜€

~Two Zero One One~

So, happy new year from the entire PHB team! Hope 2010 was a great year for you, but 2011 might just be better! ;D

Daily Pop, Store

Little firebreathing dragons!

Scroll down or click here for Green Boa’s notice.

There’s a new gold card item in the Poptropica Store, and it’s part of the Followers series! This one’s called Dragons, and it features three tiny, cute little dragon followers which blow out substances from their noses every so often, which is pretty neat.

The yellow one blows small clouds with smilie faces, the blue one seems to spit a trail of blue little circles, and the red one breathes fire. Which one do you like? ๐Ÿ˜€

In other news:

  • If you haven’t already, please welcome RavenClawGurl, the PHB’s newest author of awesomeness! :]
  • Our improved Cryptids Island guide, written by Super Thunder, is not only helpful with its instructions, but also has pictures too! Check it out!
  • There’s a whole bunch of sneak peeks on the Daily Pop the PHB hasn’t mentioned yet, and which I’m not bothered to take pictures of here, but do remember to check them out on Poptropica. They’re called ‘Sizing Chart – We use visual aids to communicate the scale of new objects and scenes,’ ‘Wireframed – Before the art is finished, we use outlines to visualize our scenes,’ ‘Go Go Robot – Just some of the ideas that would eventually become the steam robot costume in the Poptropica Store,’ ‘Publick House – This place on Cryptids Island could use some customers. Come right in!’, and ‘Newfangled Technology – The wonders of the twentieth century!’
  • Read Escape From The North Pole, the holiday special episode from our sponsor, the comedy known as Party With Hobos, which is irrelevant to partying with hobos because it’s too awesome like that. ;D
  • Thanks to Metsfan21 for providing the Christmas header we had up from December 24th to 26th.

I will travel across the land, searching far and wide. Each cryptid, to understand the power that’s inside. Every challenge along the way, with courage I will face.

Cryptids!
It’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny
Gotta catch ’em all

Gotta catch ’em all
