Introducing the New Feature!!

Seems like most of our speculations in GB’s post below were correct!! The new feature that’s coming soon is Poptropica Friends!!

It’s a combination of friending people, the Pop quiz, the photos, and the Costume Closet in one! So if you guessed one, or even most, of these items, you were correct! 😀

Soon you’ll be able to make friends with the people you meet in Poptropica! You can follow their adventures in the game, and show off your own accomplishments. You’ll create a unique personality profile to share with the world. When you play through Islands, you’ll earn photos that mark your achievements in the game. Members will have access to a costume closet that lets you store as many as 30 individual costumes!

You’ll find all this and more with Poptropica friends. Keep an eye out here for more information, including when you can start using these new features!

Recap of the Video:

  • FriendsIf you want to add friends, click on the person, and then the friend button! (It also shows the country they’re from) Or if you know your friend’s username, you can add that! Ex: Monstercarnival2012, this yields a character named Monster Carnival wearing a chicken suit! (pictured below, thanks Flamez) I wonder….

It also occurred to me, if we can add usernames, we can add the Creators as our friends! 😀

  • Costume Closet ~ It’s a scroll on your Profile page that, based on the post, is available for members. It can store up to 30 costumes, and to costumize it, just click on it! You can also share your costumes with friends!
  • Photo Album ~ As you play the islands, once you get to an important milestone, you get a picture!
  • Pop Quiz~ When you log in, you can answer questions that match your personality. You’ll see more of your personality on your profile the more you answer!  You can also see what your friends answered in the same window under “Recent Activity”

Poptropica Friends:  coming soon!! One more thing: That video was posted onto Youtube on March 7. 😉

Inquiring Poptropicans want to know, and now we’re happy to announce that Twisted Thicket will be available for Poptropica Members starting next Thursday, April 12.

PHC chatter Max has taken screenies of the sneak peeks from Daily Pop and has a theory that they could all be from the same island! What do you think?

Another PHC chatgoer, Hawk/Rough Raptor was cruising the Avatar Studio and discovered a Poptropican….that was holding….SURPRISE! A DOG. YES, A DOG! See for yourself. 😮

The character does look like a diva anyway, but how did she get the dog? EDIT: Barbie ad!Interesting…. Leave your thoughts about this in the comments!

~~~

And lastly, LS has notified us 2 new ads in Poptropica! The first one is an Adventure Time video advertisement. If you watch the video, you can get the Finn costume!

The second ad is also an Adventure Time ad, but it’s a quest! You have to get to the top of the treehouse before the fire burns it down! Your prizes are the Fire Monster Power and the Flambo follower! I found it on one of my younger accounts on Great Pumpkin. LS found it on Early Pop.

~~~

One last thing: Have you guys noticed the loss of the Costume Collector in the Store? Do you think they’re replacing this with the Costume Closets? Leave ideas in the comments! Well, this has been the end of Poptropica News for tonight! This has been ST! 😀

Monster Carnival Island, Uncategorized

Poptropica “nose” best!

Starting next week, your Poptropican may find a new anatomical feature sprouting…

Seeing as they look somewhat ugly, it’s most likely a joke. Why else would they post on April 1st? It’s also one of those rare times the PCB has made a Sunday post. 🙂

Not since the introduction of the Costumizer or the removal of the Monster Carnival map icon have we made an update this momentous.

Did you catch that nod in the direction of Monster Carnival? That was an island that appeared on the map as “Coming soon” many years ago, but mysteriously disappeared just to be replaced with 24 Carrot Island. This may be the first time the Creators have actually acknowledged it.

Now necks, on the other hand, may be a better innovation… gotta have something to connect the pyknic ovals together.
