In living color!

May 31, 2012May 31, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

Remember the announcement of the Wimpy Kid that was going to make history? Well, the announcment is….

A NEW ISLAND NAMED

WIMPY BOARDWALK!

And better yet…

IN LIVING COLOR!

*coughs* It’s tiring using that big voice…. Anyway here’s the trailer for Wimpy Boardwalk, coming this summer to ~~Disney Channel~~ Poptropica!

Island Plot:

It’s summertime, but the living ain’t easy for a wimpy kid. When Greg and Rowley visit the boardwalk for a relaxing beach vacation, they never expect to run afoul of thieving teens, ravenous seagulls, and crooked carnies. Only you can clean up Greg’s mess before vacation ends!

Before you go, there’s one more task to be done. A devious gamer has left an embarrassing message about Greg on a high-score list in the arcade. Can you master the game, save Greg’s dignity, and become the boardwalk champion? Find out how to get Membership now!

Members get an additional Wimpy Boardwalk gear pack, which includes Beachgoer costume, Heat Wave power, and Beach Umbrella item. The Beachgoer is ONLY available during Early Access!

Interesting! First time a character has appeared in 2 islands, and first time Wimpy Kid is in color! History -making announcement indeed! 😀 Speaking of announcements, have you noticed the homepage has been changed?

Yeah. Also, the Creators mentioned that if Members beat the ancient warrior in the Poptropolis Games, they can get this Ancient Warriors suit!

~~~

That’s all for me! I haven’t been on lately because of school and stuff, but since summer’s rolled around, I’m finally free! 😀 Have a great summer!/ end of school!

Introducing the New Feature!!

April 7, 2012January 2, 2013 Shaggy Tornado

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:

Friends ~ If 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. 😉

BREAKING NEWS!

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.

April 12! That’s about a week away! So get ready for this adventure! 🙂

~~~

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. 😮

http://www.poptropica.com/avatarstudio/avatar.html?a=bV3g5ZU5RYzIxaGMyaHRiM1YwYUE9PQ%3D%3D

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! 😀

What’s a lumberjerk?

March 17, 2012March 17, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

Since it’s St. Patricks Day on March 17th, let’s get into the spirit of St. Patricks Day with this green colored font! So, what the heck is a lumberjerk you ask? Only the creators know as they released the info page for the new island, Twisted Thicket!! will it answer your questions? (Taken from the blog and info page)

What’s the storyline?

A quiet seaside village has been attacked by mysterious beings that dwell nearby. You are chosen to enter the dark woods and confront the creatures. But beyond the forest’s edge lies a world of magic and danger, where the only thing more twisted than the tree trunks is the truth.

What are some awesome bonuses for Members?

Poptropica Members can play a bonus quest after completing Twisted Thicket. The woodland’s magical essence has scattered across the land. It’s up to you to use your newfound powers to collect the missing shards and return them to their source. Not a Member? Find out how to get Membership now!

There’s also some bonus prizes for Members too!

Dryad Follower
Troll (Special power to turn people to stone!)
What the heck is a “Lumberjerk“? Only available during Early Access!

A lumberjerk is a tree cutter?! Isn’t that a LUMBERJACK?! OR maybe they’re jerks for cutting down the trees? What do you think? Release date to follow! Also, wallpapers are available for download on the info page! 😀

~~~

On a side note, I’ve noticed “island generations” in the game. Have you? Listed below:

1st generation: No special promos (Early Pop – Big Nate)
