Ahoy, sailors! Members, remember the brilliant Sea Captain costume you received? We’re reluctant to announce that’s coming to an end only one week – Thursday, February 16th. Though, anyone who gets Membership after next Thursday will still be able to get Sonar Power and Fishing Pole, but the Sea Captain costume is only available during the Early Access period.
Yep, non-members, I said it. Only available during the Early Access period. Therefore I am proud to announce that S.O.S. Island is going to be available and free for everyoneThursday, February 16th! Great belated present for Valentine’s Day, huh?
Thanks for reading and may many natural disasters be in your future – on Poptropica. Not literally, that’d be mean.
Remember the SOS Island Members-only gear pack in the Poptropica Store that comes with awesome stuff like the sonar power?
Our favorite sea captain, Crawfish himself, wants to let you know that you can find the gear in your “Store Items” inventory… at the end of the line. He signs off with “happy fishing!”
Thanks CC, we’ll be sure to go fishing for crawfish! Mmmm.
In other news, Loud Shark has created a video tutorial for a new ad game in Poptropica called “Monster High Sweet 1600”! Check it out:
The prizes are Draculaura’s dress and a Count Fabulous follower.
Bonjour, readers! Less than a week after it’s membership release, PHB posted a tip for S.O.S. Island that could really motivate you for playing it over again – if you’ve completed it, of course! Captain Crawfish, my nemesis, has updated us on another use for the Diving Suit.
But did you know that if you replay S.O.S. Island while wearing the suit, you can stay underwater for much more time? Just open your Island map and hit the “Restart Island” button. Easy peasy!
You read right, Poptropicans! You could stay underwater for much more time with the versatile suit if you replay the island. That’s a very special tip you should be glad the Creators shared – unless you already knew it, of course. And for free-playing Poptropicans, you should really jot down some notes and tips for yourself. Especially a juicy one like this!
SOS Island has already been out for about 24 hours and these 10 people have already saved their souls! 😀 So let’s give a big hearty congratulations to…
1. Sneaky Foot!
2. Silver Runner!
3. Smart Berry!
4. Nervous Thunder!
5. Slippery Beetle!
6. Slippery Spider!
7. Small Sponge!
8. Zippy Leopard!
9. Wild Cheetah!
and 10. Sticky Peanut!
Kudos to you!!! 🙂 You have to give us some tips!

For us nonmembers, there is a demo for us to play! When you log in, you might see this screen… (Thanks Alice!) 🙂
Afterwards, you land on the sinking ship itself! This is certainly different, isn’t it? Once you talk to the captain, you get a screen saying: (Thanks SG!) 🙂
Looks more like a quest, don’t you think? This island certainly is different! After you save your first passenger in Room 6 and take him to the rescue camp, the demo ends and tells you the release date for all is 2/16/12! 😀
And just in case you were wondering about the map, it looks like this: (Thanks Super Thunder!) 🙂
Rescue camp from SOS: (Thanks MH!) 🙂
And as you know, members get an exclusive after quest where they get to stop an oil leak! Super Thunder, one of our walkthrough writers, has given us screenshots! Thanks! 😀
They also got a member pack! Here’s a video from LS showing us! 🙂

Well, that’s all the SOS Info for now! Have fun playing! 😀 Oh, and one more thing:
Yes, that’s right! 2012’s first most-anticipated island is finally here – for members anyway. To remind you of what to expect and what you’ve been waiting for, here’s the trailer and description to refresh your memory!
When a whale-watching expedition strikes an iceberg, a pleasure cruise becomes a disaster scene. As the ship sinks deeper and deeper into the frigid waters of the North Atlantic, can you rescue everyone onboard before it’s too late?
Do I hear an after-school party at the PHC or am I just deaf? 😉

Also, with the launch of S.O.S., Black Widow informed us yesterday about three items for, yet again, members to look out for in the store: Sonar Power, Fishing Pole, and Sea Captain! Buy it, activate it, save it. It looks pretty fre$h.
