So a Lumberjerk wandered into the poptropica store and met a troll with a dryad follower and said “Hey, let’s speculate!”

I know it’s a random title but it sums up what’s happened recently on the PCB.

Post #1:

 

Twisted Thicket items now available in the Poptropica Store!

 

Poptropica Members may have another week to wait before you can play Twisted Thicket, but you can visit the Poptropica Store right now to pick up your exclusive Twisted Thicket gear! These new items include a Lumberjerk costume, a Troll look and power, and a Dryad follower.

All of these exciting Gold Cards are available for Poptropica Members, but you’ll have to act fast — the Lumberjerk costumes will only be available until the end of Early Access!

Stay tuned…

 
We’ve got some exciting news to share with all of our Poptropican Friends! Only… it’s not quite ready to show off yet.

So here’s the deal: check back in with the Poptropica Creators’ blog tomorrow for the big announcement. Until then, feel free to speculate!

 Well, that was entertaining… and for those who don’t know, this is what speculate means.
 

Speculate

[spek-yuh-leyt]
verb (used without object), -lat·ed, -lat·ing.
 
1. to engage in thought or reflection; meditate (often followed by on, upon,  or a clause).
2.to indulge in conjectural thought.
3.to engage in any business transaction involving considerable risk or the chance of large gains, especially to buy and sell commodities, stocks, etc., in the expectation of a quick or very large profit.
 
So, start speculating!

Monster Carnival Island, Uncategorized

Poptropica “nose” best!

Starting next week, your Poptropican may find a new anatomical feature sprouting…

Seeing as they look somewhat ugly, it’s most likely a joke. Why else would they post on April 1st? It’s also one of those rare times the PCB has made a Sunday post. 🙂

Not since the introduction of the Costumizer or the removal of the Monster Carnival map icon have we made an update this momentous.

Did you catch that nod in the direction of Monster Carnival? That was an island that appeared on the map as “Coming soon” many years ago, but mysteriously disappeared just to be replaced with 24 Carrot Island. This may be the first time the Creators have actually acknowledged it.

Now necks, on the other hand, may be a better innovation… gotta have something to connect the pyknic ovals together.

The Week’s Report

Well, there hasn’t been much activity on the PCB this week. However, they leave us with two noticable clues.

Here’s the first post:

Up, up, and away!

 

Some of the inhabitants of Twisted Thicket can be pretty prickly!

We are flying again? Seems like.
 
… at least those dryads seem nice.
 
Secondly, the mysterious new tab could be introduced soon. And the Creators show it by having Bigfoot and Gretchen Grimlock try to stick their tongues to their noses.

Pop quiz, hotshot

 
What awesome new features are coming to Poptropica very soon?

We’ll have the answer soon!

Well. It looks like we’ll be answering random questions. Wonder what they will be. In the meantime, please enjoy this short skit based on the above PCB post:
 
Gretchen: I- I almost got it!
 
Brave Tomato: Gretchen, it’s a little late to try.
 
Gretchen: Sheesh! If this is what I have to do to be on a blog, then I will do it!
 
*Gretchen looks at Bigfoot. He shows off succeeding.*
 
Gretchen: *scoffs* Show-off. Unless… hmm… *takes out a switch*
 
Brave Tomato: Umm…. what are you doing?
 
Gretchen: What do you think? *presses the button*
 
*A cage falls. However, it surrounds Gretchen*
 
Gretchen: What?! *keeps pressing the button* No! No! No! Not me!
 
Brave Tomato: We had a feeling you were going to try something if we put you and Bigfoot in the same room. So we switched the positioning of the cage.
 
Gretchen: *groans*
 
 
Well, BT out! I just added that skit to make this dull post a little more intriging.

Your new island pack

Can’t wait for Vampire’s Curse Island? The creators won’t just let us sit the last remaining days of the countdown in our chairs doing nothing but watching that clock. Your new Island pack/gear is here. Of course, all of these (needless to say) our members only gold items. So if you’re a member, you can directly recieve such gear for free.

Go ahead, activate some of that garlic 😀 and perhaps release some odor that will drive away vampires perhaps. Chew on some vampire bat gum and release a swarm of spooky cratures. Or dress up as a count. One can never have too much fun with store items.

Again, all of these are free to members. Have fun out there, guys. RD dashin off.

Okay, that’s great for the non-member audience out there…
 
Random Audience Member: But what about Vampire’s Curse Island???
 
Well, yesterday, the Creators released the trailer… and… let’s just say it’s different from the other trailers.
 

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Watch the trailer for Vampire’s Curse Island!

 

The trailer for Vampire’s Curse Island is here!

Pretty spooky, eh?

Vampire’s Curse Island is coming soon to Poptropica. We’ll have a lot more information soon!

Aha. So this Count Graham cracker (excuse me, Bram) guy is taking an innocent girl? One word: Dracula.
 
Well, along with the trailer yesterday, the Creators also posted the story page for Vampire’s Curse Island, with once again, an epilogue! Hey, the epilogue’s always somewhere!
 
The story page reads:
 
For centuries, a truce has existed between the people of a remote mountain village and the vampire who lives in the castle high above. Now, that truce is shattered, and Count Bram has captured a young villager. Can you rescue her from his evil clutches — and avoid being struck by the vampire’s curse?
 
Okay. The Creators gave us TWO things to worry about. One, getting this Katya girl away from Count Bram, and two, avoid Bram’s vampire curse.
 
Also, there’s going to be an epilogue bonus quest for members only after you finish the island. It reads:
 
Poptropica members can play a bonus quest after completing Vampire’s Curse Island. The vampire is gone, but his curse lives on. Prepare to discover even more secrets of Bram’s castle — if a dangerous vampire hunter doesn’t get there first!
 
 Yikes. Well, the page also shows the store items for members including a count/countess costume, vampire bat PopGum, and garlic breath. They’ll probably be released when Early Access time comes around.
 
 
There are also some screenshots, a desktop wallpaper, and a printout poster!
 
But the release date is still a mystery…
 
Audience Member: A mystery wanted to be solved!
 
Calm down… eventually, the Creators will announce more stuff about this island.
 
BT out!
