Labs (Land) – Page 7 – 🏝 Poptropica Help Blog 🗺

Hey Poptropicans! So apparently it’s “Shark Week” on Discovery Channel, but of course when the Creators bring that up on their blog, what they’re really trying to do is shamelessly promote one of their islands. 😉 However, this note may be of interest for those who remember the Shark Boy scandal:

The second Island we ever released, way back in 2007, was Shark Tooth Island, which featured the massive Booga Shark, a helpful medicine man, and one very special boy whose name we no longer recall.

At least good old Captain Crawfish, Shark Boy’s successor, afforded him one last shoutout… 😦 #momentofsilence (and if you have no idea what I’m talking about, these posts should catch you up) Shark Boy was truly an icon of Poptropica’s earlier days, a name we won’t so easily forget!

(this and more awesome art can be found in the PHB magazine, POPCORN.)

Moving on to newer things, the second evolution of Poptropica Land was recently released to members, and as promised, the PHB’s Poptropica Labs page has been updated to give you guys a more in-depth look at this cool new feature. Click here to view our Land walkthrough, which speaks of how to get the Svadilfari, materials you can unlock, and more! Here’s the Land trailer:

Poptropica’s official Twitter has already gotten right into it by showcasing some of their favorite creations so far! Here’s a look at a treehouse (made by Spotted Dragon of the ATP), submarine, and garden. Pretty creative stuff! 😀

If that’s not enough of a look at Land alpha version 2, check out this review by Spotted Dragon on her blog, or this video tour from Captain Spencer (below) — plus, stay tuned for HP’s video walkthrough!

Lastly, some Poptropicans have noticed that the World Cup costumes are no longer to be found in the inventory. Brave Dolphin recently investigated this and got the following reply from Poptropica:

These are limited time expired items which are no longer available in the store or in the player inventory.

While the Creators did say the costumes wouldn’t be around forever, what’s weird is that they usually never take away Store-obtained item cards from players’ inventories (they only do it for ads, which this wasn’t). Strange, isn’t it? Share your thoughts in the comments! 😛

Ahoy, Poptropicans! Members who have played the final chapter of Mission Atlantis may have picked up the Atlantis Captain costume towards the end — but everyone can get it from the Store for free! When you press space bar, the helmet will either reveal or hide your face.

In addition to recently being released to everyone online, Survival 4 (Cabin Fever) is also now on the Poptropica iOS app! Click here for the PHB’s Survival walkthrough. Tally ho!

Meanwhile on Poptropica’s Tips & Tricks app, they’ve added guides for Survival 2 through 4, and it’s 99 cents for each episode. If it’s a walkthrough you need, though, I’d advise saving your money and using the PHB’s free Survival Island Guide instead! Sure, we’re not official, but we’re still here to help. 😛

Speaking of Survival, there’s just one more episode left, and from what we know, you’re on the run from MVB, but you have a friend waiting for you in the woods. He’s the mysterious character who left you notes on the tapestry in Episode 4 (allowing your escape), and signed it “M.M.” So who is M.M.?

Remember the Manifest from the plane in Episode 3? There was a name for the coin-collecting passenger: Max McGullicutty… M.M.! And this Daily Pop sneak peek might just be giving us a look at him, disheveled from life in the woods, and more importantly, with an “M” on his belt buckle:

If you remember from one of HP’s Survival Files on the PHB, there’s some dialogue with what appears to be a superstitious fisherman… and as we haven’t encountered this character yet, perhaps it’s Max.

Also, we haven’t forgotten about Poptropica Land, now in alpha version 2 and still only available to members (get the Labs card from the Store). It’s a big step up from the first prototype of Poptropica Labs, and new features include: the magical blue hammer of creation and destruction (Svadilfari), “Poptanium” mining instead of coins, the ability to save, and more!

Stay tuned to the PHB for a more in-depth look as well as a community event coming soon, involving this updated feature! In the meantime, don’t forget to be awesome. 🙂

Poptropica Lands next week & Atlantis drone for members!

August 1, 2014August 2, 2014 Samwow5

Hey everyone! Are you excited? I am, because two big updates are happening next week! As you may have heard earlier, Mission Atlantis Ep. 3 will be out for members next Thursday (Aug 7), and you can read my theories about what’s coming here.

The earth-shaking announcement we predicted has now been confirmed, too: the next version of Poptropica Lands will also be coming out for members next week too! Here’s the trailer video:

HP said in a recent post that he thought the blue hammer above was from Poptropica Lands, and boy was he right! With the hammer, we can now destroy and rebuild in Poptropica Lands (formerly known as Poptropica Labs). I can’t wait to start playing it next week! By the way, if you visit the link shown in the trailer (poptropica.com/land), you’ll just see a static ‘coming soon’ image for now:

In other news, the Creators also released the Atlantis Drone Follower for Mission Atlantis: Ep. 3! This follower is actually pretty cool in my opinion, but it’s only available to members, who can pick it up for free in the Store. The Creators also added in their post that “you can get psyched for the concluding chapter of the Mission Atlantis trilogy” – implying that there will only be 3 episodes in total.

Anyway, that’s it for now! Too bad these updates are only for members – but if you are one, I hope you have a fun time exploring under the sea and building on Poptropica Lands next week! 🙂

Mission Atlantis Ep. 3 release date, and something else?

July 30, 2014July 31, 2014 HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

Quick post to alert you that Mission Atlantis: Out of the Blue, the 3rd installment in the series, is coming out on the 7th of August. If you so desire, check out Samwow5’s post revealing some major secrets in the episode. 😀

But that’s not all — the PCB post mentioned something else as seen below.

That’s not all you’ll have to look forward to next week on Poptropica, but we can’t give it all away now! You’ll just have to keep checking back.

Why do I have a feeling that it has something to do with Poptropica Lands? Maybe it’s the title of the post, “Earthshaking announcements”… 😛 Tell me what you think in the comments.

TAFN.

Rethinking Thor

July 24, 2014September 25, 2016 HPuterpop

Hi Gs,

The topic of discussion lately has been Legendary Swords and Poptropica Lands, but I’m going to bring up something else this time around. A while back I made a “Missing Link” post about a Norse mythology based island. I was using evidence from the DPs (Daily Pops) of the time.

However, that theory fell by the wayside when the DPs were confirmed to be for the Poptropica App as a starting tutorial. I thought that I was wrong.

But, just like the recent cropping up of underground themed sneak peeks, this theme has re-immersed. If you’ve been following along with recent PHB posts, you’ll know that mysterious Norse themed traces have been coming from the yet-to-be-updated Lands. A blue glowing hammer can be found listed in the SUI Poptropica Lands files — and this could go two ways.

hammerLands

First, it may not be meant to be there — it’s just a mistake. That is possible considering that it is the only item listed. If this is true, it means that a separate Norse themed island may be coming soon.

It also could be that they’re making Poptropica’s default theme into a Norse sort of thing. This would also make sense because of Poptropica’s floating blimp and the start tutorial for the Poptropica app. Since Poptropica Lands is not necessarily themed after anything specific, the default theme would be Norse mythology.

And check out this image from Twisted Thicket Island, which contains the same symbol as the hammer mentioned above. As you may know, Twisted Thicket has its roots in Norse mythology, such as the naming of the runes you have to collect, so this further emphasizes the theme. (thanks to ayman351 for the pic!)
