Hey folks, Cobalt here!

Today, I’m going to be making a discussion post for you Poptropicanos to converse about. I’ve been noticing the community is more art-bent than anything lately (not like that’s a bad thing! 😛 ). I love all the artists and musicians here, but I feel as if we should talk about the actual game features and the problem I’ve been noticing with them as well. 😀

More specifically, the so-called Daily Pop.

If you’re like me, it’s your favorite feature. If you like theorizing over the sneak peeks, it definitely is. Though, are they really keeping up with their name?

The Daily Pop isn’t daily anymore. To me, it feels as if they just upload a sneak peek when they have a sneak peek to upload. That isn’t daily at all! Also, the Celebrity Clips haven’t been updated in years, along with the side games they have to offer. What’s up with that?

The infamous Poptropica comic was from Monday to Friday weekly, and I give it that. Though, it did come to its temporary end in November while Kory Merrit is working on the novels. Hate to be harsh, but not daily.

And yes, while I understand they’re busy and whatnot, and they do have our best interests at heart with other things like rad items and groovy islands, (yes, I just said groovy), I do feel as if the Daily Pop should either step up its game, or reinvent itself and give it a different name. 😛

What they have to offer to us is truly great, but maybe they shouldn’t be called the Daily Pop anymore. What do you think? Discuss in the comments! 🙂

This is your favorite chemical element, armor in Terraria, or shade of blue signing off!

Update: Skinny Moon from Poptropica has commented on this PHB post with the following:

Hey everyone! A little update of sorts for you: Things are SUPER busy at Poptropica HQ. We are working, working, working on so many things. Updating the Daily Pop isn’t always possible when we’re working on a lot of stuff we can’t quite talk about. I would love to say more, but I can’t — I will as soon as I’m able! 😀

Let’s keep the discussion going in the comments!

Sorry, it’s not poptanium. But it is a new author.

Hey folks, I’m Spencer! Upon joining the PHB, I’ve created a new alias, “Cobalt Spinner.” You can call Cobalt, however. 😛 I’ve contributed to the Poptropica Help Network many times over the years, and I’m so happy to finally be able to contribute as an author here on the PHB! As cliché as this is, it really is a dream come true.

spencerpixel I can’t wait to post updates and announcements for you guys, it really is going to be a blast, and something I’ve thought about immensely and for a long, long time. 😀

I work for Orb Legend as a game developer, but more specifically, I code and work with sprites. I dabble with a bit of everything, including the story, but those are really my priorities. Giant Hawk is also planning to have me in his adventurously brilliant new series, the GHA! (Considering they take place in the same timeline. 😉 )

If you’d like to know more about my journey on Poptropica and in the community specifically, click here! Also, my username is CaptainSpencer if you’d like to friend me.

I’ll be hosting a little Q&A in the comments so you all can get to know me better! 🙂

Anyway, I’m trying to keep this post short and sweet – so I’d just like to thank The Keystone, Slanted Fish, UIPE, Blake, Giant Hawk and the entire Orb Legend crew for getting me this far. ❤ you guys.

I’ll see you Poptropicanos soon, with my first Poptropica informative post!
