EMERGENCY! Oh wait, it’s just 911.

Slanted Fish

In just about a week, Valentine’s Day – February 14th – will come by. But you don’t have to wait to show your love for the Poptropica Help Blog! All you have to do to show your appreciation right now is…

Stop by for Issue #9!

…and check out the amazing talent that Poptropicans all over the planet have put out there for the rest of our community. Awesome. 😛

Our ‘Poptropica Poll’ widget to the right side has been updated! The current question asks, ”What do you think of Poptropica’s membership?” (Now’s your chance to let the Poptropica Creators know just what you think of this major game update!)

January 2010’s poll question read, ”How long have you been playing Poptropica?” Here are the results:

Option | Votes | Percentage
2+ years – Experienced | 1,264 | 47%
Almost 2 years! | 420 |
Almost a year! | 281 |
2 – 5 months | 168 |
12 – 15 months | 167 |
16 – 19 months | 114 |
6 – 9 months | 100 |
Just Joined Recently – Newbie | 93 |
Less than a month. | 76 |

Wow, looks like the vast majority of us are old-timers here! According to the poll, around half of those who voted have been around Poptropica for over 2 years. Nice. 🙂

Live. Laugh. Love.
Because life is cheesy!

Mythology Island, Sneak Peeks

Myth…ology Island?

Slanted Fish

The latest PCB post by Shark Boy is hinting that the Creators are working on a completely new island… and they want us to guess what it will be! What can you gather from this sneak peek?

The title of the image sneak peek is ”mythologyChars”, which seems to mean that this mysterious new island will be known as Mythology Island! Therefore the image title is probably short for ”Mythology Island Characters”.

Most of you have probably noticed Hades (a new Poptropica Creator making posts around the PCB) in the sneak peek, with white skin, skull sceptre, skull tiara, and green robes! Looks strangely suspicious… do you think he’s a hero or villain?

To the right of Hades is a Greek/Roman female warrior equipped with a pointy golden spear and golden battle helmet with pink fluffy feathers on top. Her robes are white with a hint of pink. Who do you think she is?

We’re excited to see this ‘Mythology Island’ release in the future – share your opinions about what it might be like in the comments below!

Counterfeit Island

Is Counterfeit Island… counterfeit?

Slanted Fish
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…

Counterfeit Island is now online!

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

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…

Pop in to Issue #8!

^Yes! 2010’s first edition of the Poptropican’s 911 is out for your reading pleasure. Kick-start the new year with some never-before-seen Pop content! This is an issue you won’t want to miss!

Our ‘Poptropica Poll’ widget to the right side has been updated! The current question asks, ”How long have you been playing Poptropica?” (Well, how long? Tell us by submitting your vote!)

December 2009’s poll question read, ”What do you think of the upcoming Counterfeit Island?” Here are the results:

Option | Votes | Percentage
Sounds like it’ll be the best one yet! | 842 | 47%
It should be fun to play. | 532 | 29%
Interesting, but the Poptropica Creators might cancel it again… | 290 | 16%
BO-RING! | 47 | 3%
What’s Counterfeit Island? | 99 | 5%

Total votes: 1,810
(*To those who voted on the third options – your doubts proved wrong!) xD

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:
