LEGENDARY SWORDS IS OUT! Scroll down for info!ย 

Lots of updates today! First up is the new Poptropica island…

Aย little late for the season maybe, but it sounds AWESOME! ๐Ÿ˜€ย Most of the sneak peeks in Daily Pop have been leading up to this moment! Wanna know the plot?

Hemlock Harbor is a town with a secret. Restless spirits are said to haunt its shores, but no one knows who they are, what they want — or how to get rid of them. Can you hunt the ghosts of Hemlock Harbor and uncover the mystery that will set them free?

Bonus Items, Membership, Store

There’s Free… and then there’s Free+.

You probably already know that the Poptropica Store includes some free stuff you can claim. But now there’s more, and it’s called Free+. Let the Creators’ Blog explain:

Free+

You might have noticed a new icon on some of the items in the Poptropica Store.

What is Free+? Free+ means that the item is free for everybody who wants it, and also has some extra-special features for Members. When you play “Shrink Shot” or “Prepare for Impact,” for example, you’ll get additional powers and prizes if you’re a Member.

So, kinda cool for the members, not so much for everyone else. ๐Ÿ˜› But still, it’s nice to have free stuff, and when an item is labeled Free+, it just means that Poptropica Members will get extra features or prizes. Nice.

In other news, Legendary Swords releases on tomorrow’s legendary date – 11/11/11! That’s not gonna happen for another thousand years. It would be pretty epic to release on 11:11am/pm, too. Plus, if it’s your 11th birthday that day, kudos! I myself will be 15 on the 15th, so that’s awesome too. xD

A week away!

Did you know?

Legendary Swords is just ONE week away! ๐Ÿ˜€ Yay! The Creators’ have posted up a Legendary Swords tutorial to help us play!

Basically, the video describes Swords, Moves, and Health Crystals.

Swords

To view swords, click on the sword on the top left hand corner. It shows the swords included in the actual game and the swords that you bought from the store, if any. You can switch between Rusty Relic, Ninja Sword, Templar Knight Sword, and lightsaber ( ๐Ÿ˜€ ), plus any other sword that you might have!

Moves

The moves depend on how you move: run, walk or jump. It will show you in the video. ๐Ÿ™‚

Health Crystals

The health meter is the big sword at the top. It goes down when you get hurt. To replenish your health, try to find a cluster of pink crystals! Swing the sword to harvest them. They go to your health crystal inventory next to the health meter. Click the crystal icon to add to your health! ๐Ÿ˜€

Where Was Dr. Hare?

A couple days ago, a new Dr. Hare travel photo was posted. The Creators have revealed that this hop-happy bunny’s location was Bueno Aires, Argentina!

And there’s another photo of our favorite carrot-nommer in front of the famousย Galileo Galilei Planetarium in Buenos Aires. Where do you think he’ll travel to next?

Cabin Fever Ad

A new ad about Jeff Kinney’s new Diary of a Wimpy Kid series Book 6: Cabin Fever has appeared in Pop! (Of course XD) Thanks LS! (Also for reminding to give you credit :P)

You have 60 seconds to hit ALL of the Whirley St. kids with snowballs to get two prizes. One is a paper costume (similar to the costume that was released for members!) and the other is ONE FREE CHAPTER of the new book! These prizes should be incentive enough for you to play this ad! ๐Ÿ˜€

Once I’m back from my travels, I’ll be sure to have some words with the other Creators about this. There’s entirely too much merriment around Poptropica these days!

Oh, Dr. Hare…. We’ll give you a carrot if you don’t say anything about this… *moves eyebrows up and down mysteriously*

Anyway, go get this quest! ๐Ÿ˜€

running out of time..

The creators gave us a heads up in their new post on the PCB. This head’s up is to inform us that the first scavenger hunt will soon be over! By 10/26/11, in just about 5 days, the first scavenger hunt will end, and the second one will start a day later on the 27th! If you haven’t bought the book yet and want it, there’s still time left to quickly make a purchase, then hunt for the answers!

But of course, the answers to all three questions have been easily figured out by some of our readers. Special thanks toย the PHB readers and commenters forย providing these answers! For those of you wh0 actually want a hunt, then don’t read this bottom part, it’s the answer to the code. Don’t read it if you want the thrill of a hunt. But for those of you seriously stuck, or who didn’t purchase the book, the code is below:

Title of Poptropica villian on page 45 = dr.Hare (it doesnt fit so you just put โ€˜DRโ€™)

rank of Poptropica villian on page 133 = captain crawfish (His rank is captain, so write โ€˜CAPTAINโ€™)

size of Poptropica villian on page 174 = BIG, LARGE (in Spanish, so you type โ€˜GRANDEโ€™)

So the final code: DRCAPTAINGRANDE

You can use this code to redeem your virtual book for your character! Nice, huh? Yep, go and use this code for your free prize!
