Poptropolis Games Island, Sneak Peeks

Underwater Olympics Emerge

With the arrival of the upcoming Olympics-inspired island Poptropolis Games, the Creators spread more details about the anticipated island.

Click for the official wallpaper!

The city of Poptropolis rises from the sea once every 100 years to host a tournament devoted to proving tribal supremacy. In Poptropolis Games, you’ll choose a tribe to represent, and compete in several track and field events in pursuit of the championship. It won’t be easy!

I’m not sure about you, but I sure am excited about it!

BTW, It’s my birthday. 😀

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.

You can follow along with the countdown on the Poptropica homepage, or check right here for the latest updates. You’ll be in the thick of things before you know it!

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. 😮

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?

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!

  1. Dryad Follower
  2. Troll (Special power to turn people to stone!)
  3. 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)

We’re pleased to announce the next Poptropica Island: Twisted Thicket!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r5KOLUHrGs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Twisted Thicket is a journey into the heart of an enchanted forest. Who knows what dangers await? We’ll have much more information about this new adventure soon!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Twithed Thicket Island, huh? Or is there no “Island” after the name like you did with Mystery Train. Looks like this island will feature fairies, gnomes, a Nøkken, and a town and wood. Maybe we’ll encounter more woodland whimsical creatures.

In the meantime, the Creators also gave us PIE costumes! For PI day!
