Bonus Items, Reality TV Island, Sneak Peeks

There are many questions that need to be answered in life.

Smockers

Update: EPIC NEWSFLASH! :O The creators have updated their post with a handy link conveniently placed right beneath the membership video. Upon clicking this link, you reach this informative page (click the word page :O). It seems the creators have answered all of my questions concerning the price of membership and if the costumes, gold cards, and etc. disappear when your membership expires.

Good and bad news. For the bad news, you can’t keep the unlimited costumes and gold cards once your membership ends. 😦 For the good news, HAVE YOU SEEN THOSE PRICES? =D

THAT’S UNBEATABLE! Compared to most web games, Poptropica’s membership prices are super cheap. Seriously! One Gold Card costs $2.50 and with just $.50 more you could get the whole shebang — ALL of the Gold Cards.  O_o As a comparison, here are some other web-game membership prices:

1 Month: Poptropica ($2.99) < Free Realms ($4.99) < Club Penguin and Tootsville ($5.95) < Wiglington and Wenks ($5.99) < Chobots ($7.99)

3 Months: Poptropica ($7.99; equivalent to a 1 month membership on Chobots I might add) < Wiglington and Wenks ($16.99)

6 Months: Poptropica ($12.99) < Club Penguin and Tootsville ($29.95) < Chobots and Wiglington and Wenks ($29.99)

1 Year: Poptropica ($17.99; I’m only assuming this, because the prices seem to increase by $5 each time. Also, I know that 1 Year membership isn’t available for Poptropica; I’m just doing this for the sake of this experiment.) < Chobots ($47.99) < Club Penguin and Tootsville ($57.95; it seems Tootsville copied Club Penguin’s prices exactly o_o) < Wiglington and Wenks ($59.99)

There you have it. I hope these prices are set in stone, because if they are, I could probably give way more PHB-readers 1-month memberships then I had thought. ^o^

Are you ready? 😉

Will someone eventually find the cure for cancer? Will the 2012 doomsday event occur? WILL SCIENTISTS EVENTUALLY FIND A SOLUTION THAT MAKES EVERLASTING CHEESE?!

More importantly… will Poptropica’s community and fanbase enrage with fury once membership is confirmed to the general public?!

We can answer that one today.

Now, after what could have been absolute happiness or utmost anger (depends on who you are) for you, let us evaluate (my comments in bold):

  • GET IT ALL WITH MEMBERSHIP! (All is a very vague word. I think you can interpret it in any way. Personally, I think “IT ALL” is cheese. I hope.)
  • GET EARLY ISLAND ACCESS! (=O)
  • GET UNLIMITED COSTUMES! (=O)
  • USE EVERY GOLD CARD! (I think my mouth is gonna f all off from all of this gaping. =O)
  • COMING SOON! (More vague words. >o>)

By the way, this membership thing hasn’t been completely unaware to us. Codien’s post (CLICKEH HERE!) informed us of this imminent feature. We got quite a mixed response with some saying yay and some saying nay. Now that it’s been confirmed, what is your opinion of it now? Leave a comment below. ^_^ By the way, that post was dated January 29, 2009.  At time of posting this, it has been more or less ONE YEAR. Speedy time with creating the membership, creators (jk, jk).

It seems that buying a membership would actually be better than just buying costumes and gold cards and early island access passes — because you get all that with a handy dandy membership! Now, there are more questions. Do you get to keep the gold cards and unlimited costumes if your membership runs out? How much will it take out of my money that I could be using to pay for college? So many life-threatening questions.

Also, I noticed something else in the video. Those sneaky creators sneaked in yet another confirmation of Reality TV Island! (Psst, creators. I have kept my patience long enough for Hippie Man. MAKE MY TRIP TO REALITY TV SNAPPY! >:O)

I blame the horrible image quality on YouTube's horrible video quality 😀

Moreover, they added some useful links to the side of their blog:

That question mark block is from Super Mario! PLAGIARIZE! COPYRIGHT! SUE! SUE! SUE! Oh, and there's Raymond from Wheel of Fortune again. :O

That about wraps it up! Don’t forget to give your own thoughts about the upcoming membership! Hope you all have a good life. ^o^ Peace. Also, I’ll probably hold a contest once membership is officially released. Then again, that conniving Motion AKA Coderkid will probably find a hack for it as soon as the creators unveil it. >=P

Kickin’ it with the Creators

coderkid

Hey guys!

Coderkid here. It seems like the Creators have LOTS of free time all of a sudden…*mystery music plays* Anyway, the Creators made 2 blog posts, IN A ROW. I don’t think I’ve seen them this active before… o_O However, here are dar dem updates.

#1 – Reality TV Island Sneak Peak!

By now, we can definitely say for sure that Reality TV island has not been abandoned, and perhaps was even resurrected because of our protests. This post by Dr.Hare shows us a shot of RTV that we’ve seen before (see this post by Comic Kid), except we can see that they’ve changed the sign…here’s the new post.

Knock, Knock!

Who’s there?
Watson
Watson who?
Watson TV today?

Here’s the other post (it’s an old one, but it shows the same scene), by Comic Kid Oct. 1, 2008.

Comfortable Living

Here is a sneak peak from an upcoming island.

– Posted by Comic Kid.

So they changed the sign…why? Who knows. 😛 Probably a change in plot…

#2 – New Wallpaper!

Soon after Dr. Hare made his post with the updated sign, Shark Boy makes this post about the Counterfeit Island wallpaper!

Counterfeit Island Wallpaper

If you’re a fan of Counterfeit Island, you’ll enjoy this new Poptropica wallpaper!

– Posted by Shark Boy.

Pretty spiffy wallpaper, eh? xD Me likes…but I doubt I’d want to be spending any time with the Black Widow. Mostly simply because she’s EVIL.

So what do you make of all these updates? It seems like the Creators are working on 2 islands at the same time…Reality TV island and *gag* M-m-mythology island. Eww…

But anyway, post your interesting or creative comments and questions in the comments beloooowwwww…

Oh and Creators, I know you probably hate me, or at least have disdain for me (:P), but if you read this pleeze bring the Scavenger Hunts back. And if you don’t, just know that I know where EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU LIVE. I’m not kidding. That is all. 😀

Not Boar-ing

Sparkle Star/Green Seal

Hey people!  Green Seal here. 😀 There’s a new post on the Poptropica Creator’s Blog, posted by Hazmat Hermit (Thanks for the update, PerfectStorm57!):

Getting Boar-ed?

As a hermit I try to avoid meeting people but sometimes it’s hard to find a place to be alone. When I reached this island in the middle of the ocean, I figured I was the only person around for miles. I soon realized this place is full of some of the craziest people I’ve ever seen! Why would anyone run around with a jar of water on their head? It seems dangerous, especially when there’s an angry boar out to get you. I’m going to monitor the situation and see what I can find out.

0_o That boar is.. uh, creepy-looking.  This post is probably a sneak peek of Reality TV.  That jar looks about the same size as that poptropican. 0_o How can she carry that?  Well, remember in the when they said you will be competing or something like that?  This race is probably one of the things you will compete in, and I have to say that I would not like to be chased by a boar with a jar the size of me. xD

By the way, news in the Poptropica Help Forums say that the PHF has been featured in TV!  Could this be true? 0_o Check this thread for more info: http://thephf.com/forums/showthread.php?518-OMG-the-PHF-was-on-TV!!!!!!

This is all for now! 😀

Reality TV Island

Return of the Reality…donuts!

Mara Elisabeth

Hey guys, Neat Whale here. Seems to be that Reality is back in order–the Creators didn’t forget about it after all! All the rumors have been answered! Which is good, a lot of us were waiting for it. 😛 Well, not me entirly, but I thought the idea was cool. 😛 And thanks for the update, Seph/Deathstalker! Here’s the post info:

Back to Reality

Well after much vacationing, I have again returned to Reality TV Island. I heard the local grocery store had some good donuts, I just don’t know which kind to get.

 

As you can see, this was posted by Comic Kid. xD And there’s another one of his awesome emotions we can’t do…why must the Creators torture us so?! 😥 Lol…I think that Comic Kid should get the strawberry frosted on top, though…those are tasty. But wait…what if we have to buy a certain donut or something to do something else on Reality?And what if the donuts are BOMBS? AHHHH! SO MANY IDEAS! Now my BRAIN hurts!!!! xD
Well, that’s about all… see you later, guys! Neat Whale out!

The Return of…FRENCH ISLAND?!

coderkid

Yes, I do realize I’ve been making all the posts of late. xD *cough* 😀

Anyway, the Creators have a new blogeh posteh! And it’s about time too, since we haven’t gotten any news on islands in forever. The blog post is titled “Return of Comic Kid, and New Island?” WHY SO MYSTERIOUS CREATORS?

The post itself:

——-
Return of Comic Kid, and New Island?

Well, I’m finally back after a long trip of searching out new islands in Poptropica. I even had time to grab some hot chocolate along the way.

Interesting indeed. What island do you think this’ll be? For some reason, I think it’s French Island. Maybe it’ll just be plain “Music Island” LOL. 🙂 A member of the PHF even suggested that it’s another part of Reality TV island, however I don’t see how it would fit in. :/

The cut-off stage background says “Jazz Cafe”. As some of you might have noticed, the microphone and stool look as if they’re from Spy Island (in the Hair Club) although the one at the Hair Club is blue.

Another new update is the new addition to the “Buy Poptropica Credits” page. It now allows you to buy credits from your mobile phone! (Credit to Deathstalker of the PHF!)


Personally, I think this feature is useless – who’s going to buy credits from their phone? I just don’t see the point.

And so I end this post with 2 questions for you PHB readers (please answer them in your comments!):

  1. What island do you think the Creators are referring to? French Island maybe?
  2. Have you ever brought credits, plan to, or probably never will?

Until next time,
Coderkid
