Bonus Items, Great Pumpkin Island, Membership

Great Pumpkin Island is out!!

Yes, you saw that right! Great Pumpkin Island is out for members TODAY! (That was fast, wasn’t it? Sorry to all the non-members out there but you’re going to have to wait until it releases on October 14th for everyone…) So if you’re a Poptropica member, go log in NOW, YES NOW and go play Great Pumpkin Island!!

The rating for the island is “easy,” but if it’s still a challenge for you, a written walkthrough guide from the Poptropica Help Blog (PHB – that’s us!) is available here!

Trick or treat, Charlie Brown!

Looks like us members get a bonus too! (Yes, I got a member account :D) This exclusive “Woodstock Follower” gold card is available to any members who log in during the Early Access period, which lasts from now (September 30th) to October 14th, 2010 according to the official info page!

You could have Snoopy's little friend follow you everywhere and accompany you on your adventures!

The island’s plot closely follows the TV special “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” if you’re familiar with that. A fun and simple island to enjoy for October’s Halloween season – so members, go log on NOW and non-members, you get to experience the island for yourself in just TWO WEEKS! :O Sweet.

In other news (again :P): Shadoo, also from the PHC has a Poptropica band called Frost City (of which I am a part of 🙂 ) and would also like to share it with you! The link is http://frostcity.wordpress.com/ and the official chat is http://xat.com/frostcity .

The moment is almost here!

As the days go by, the moment gets closer– and that moment is the arrival of Steamworks Island on Poptropica! Two new posts by the Creators on the official blog, showing more snapshots of the long-awaited island, both by Captain Crawfish!

T-minus 2 days until Steamworks Island launches

Like a massive, steam-powered gear, the Early Access launch of Steamworks Island turns ever closer. Poptropica Members have but two days to wait before they can set foot on this vast island of metal and machines. As promised, here’s another snapshot of the danger that awaits you.

That looks like a tricky maze! You might need some help finding your way through there.

It doesn’t look that tricky to me. Thats just my opinion. Looks like we get to use the “gyro-walker legs” (thanks GA xD) on the maze!  Today’s post deals with the island map! And boy, it is huge!!

Steamworks Island available for Poptropica Members tomorrow

We’re continuing our countdown to the Early Access launch of Steamworks Island, which will be available for Poptropica Members — oh gosh, look at that — tomorrow!

If you’re going to solve the mystery of Steamworks Island, you’ll need to know where you’re going. Just between us, here’s your first look at the Steamworks Island map.

My, my. These Islands get bigger and bigger, don’t they?

This island has 19 locations on the map. Just for the record…

3rd place: Nabooti Island with 17 rooms

2nd place: Mythology Island with 18 rooms

1st place: Steamworks Island with 19 rooms!

This island looks really big and challenging, so good luck to all members tomorrow on Steamworks Island! Have fun and see you there!

The countdown has begun!

The countdown has begun for the release of Steamworks Island for members! To celebrate, the Creators have shown us some last sneak peeks of Steamworks before its release! 😀

The final countdown to Steamworks Island!

The wait is almost over. Poptropica Members will have Early Access to Steamworks Island beginning this Thursday, August 12. We think you’ll really like this one.

There are plenty of surprises in store for Poptropicans, and lots left to discover about Steamworks Island. So, as we count down to the launch of Steamworks Island, we’ll be sharing just a few more snapshots of what you have to look forward to.

This appears to be a shop of some kind. I wonder if there’s anything useful in there?

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Looks exciting! In this shop, there are some cobwebs which are an obvious sign that it hasn’t been used in a while. On the shelves are some weird and wacky inventions! What do these do? Do they help you in your quest to find out what happened to the islanders of this mysterious island? Put your opinions in the comments! On another note, we have 3,985,984 hits! Almost close to the big 4 million! 😀 See you guys later!

Steamworks Island surprise coming for y’all members out there in the Poptropica world! Just like Skullduggery last May!

A Steamworks surprise is coming

There’s a special treat coming tomorrow for Poptropica Members: a special Steamworks-related mystery item!

All will be revealed tomorrow. What could it be? The suspense is killing me!

…fortunately, I am well versed in suspenders.

COMIC KID

Wonder what it is? A teaser trailer and a costume like last time? Or maybe its something different. I guess you LUCKY members get to find out tomorrow! Catch ya later dudes! (And dudettes! xD)

Hijuyo posting:

Again thanks to Adiboy101, we’ve uncovered another Poptropica Creator! Jennifer Wood is the Managing Editor at Poptropica, according to her LinkedIn profile. Surprisingly, there are no females on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog.

Also, we believe that the other Creator we recently uncoveredMitch Krpata – is Hades on the PCB. Why? Looking at the Poptropica Assets website, you can find that the Bolas Plant SWF for Steamworks Island was posted by [email protected] – and on the PCB, the same animation was posted by Hades. 😀

Yes, we stalk. ;D
