Poptropica Credits, Stats, Store, Stuff and More!

Slanted Fish

A big WOW!!!

Poptropica Creator Shark Boy has just revealed a major update that will be coming soon. We don’t know a whole lot about it, but here’s what Shark Boy said on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog:

 We’ve been working on a bunch of “super-special” outfits, new abilities, and some other awesome stuff that we will be offering for Poptropica credits. You can earn FREE credits for each island you beat, or you can purchase more credits. Poptropica credits can be used to get some cool stuff from our store. Stay tuned, coming soon!

Looks cool. From SB’s post, we gather this info:

Stats
There will be a new interface called “Stats”. This will have/show:

  • Your character’s Poptropica name (such as Invisible Foot in the picture)
  • A picture of your character’s current look
  • Your battle ranking from playing multiplayer games in chat rooms
  • The number of “Poptropica Credits” you have, and a button to be able to purchase more of these credits.
  • An option to change your account’s password
  • Which island medallions you have
  • Your recent Poptropica activities – whether it’s just logging in or winning/losing a multiplayer game
  • A box telling you what’s happening around Poptropica: the example talks about Astro-Knights coming up!
  • Poptropica Store: you’ll get to spend your credits on cool rock star outfits and more!

Store
There’s also going to be a “Store” tab. So far, this is what we know:

  • Poptropica will be having a store for buying in-game items and powers. The “super-special” costumes they are working on can be bought here, as well as some new abilities (possibly Comic Kid’s new emotes from the many previous sneak peeks?) and other awesome stuff!
  • To shop at the store, you need “Poptropica Credits”, which are going to be Poptropica’s “money”, or their type of currency.
  • Some free credits can be gained from completing island quests.
  • You can purchase more credits, most likely with real-world money, such as American dollars.

Stuff
Lastly, there will be an interface titled “Stuff”. We don’t really know what this is, but maybe it’s a new type of inventory. Maybe all your equipment from Time Tangled, 24 Carrot or whatever island will be moved to this tab. (Just a guess.)

So now we know what the “super-special” outfits were for. At least we get credits for finishing an island too, so even if you aren’t allowed to buy stuff off the Internet, you’ll still get a chance to spend a few. Magic Monster suggests that maybe winning multiplayer games might also get you credits, because they mention winning and losing Soupwords and Balloons in the “Recent Activity” section. However, that could mean we could get credits just for logging in – which is a bit unlikely, but we don’t know for sure. What do you think?

Also, as Incredible Fish noted, you will soon be able to change your Poptropican’s password! So when this update comes, please don’t give away accounts on the Poptropica Talk page (or anywhere else on this site) to the public, or it may become out-of-date very quickly because there are people out there who like to mess up accounts. Other people won’t be able to use most of our Poptropica Talk accounts soon, so enjoy them while you can!

Snapshot Sagas
Vlad encounters a “visitor of mysterious origin” in this next episode of Snapshot Sagas! Check it out:

I had such a relaxing week! I was sipping some coconut milk at the Coconut Cafe and taking in some sun on the tropical Shark Tooth Island beach. My relaxing time didn’t last long however, because I ran into something out of this world on my latest trip to the Coconut Cafe! It was a Poptropican named Striped Hero, but I couldn’t be sure if he was really from Poptropica because I had never seen anything like him before! He was just as friendly as any other Poptropican that I have met, and I was able to take a photo with him, but his origins are still a great mystery to me!

Congratulations Striped Hero! You have been the latest visitor of mysterious origin featured on Snapshot Sagas!

Keep looking for me anytime you visit an island! You could be the next Poptropican (or mysterious visitor) featured on Snapshot Sagas!

Congratulations from the PHB, Striped Hero! And as Cheerful Claw said, we definitely won’t have to worry about them delaying Astro-Knights any longer because they’re acknowledging the fact that the cyborg-face is out. Take a look at The Mechanical Fever news post to learn more about this metallic mask!

Shark Boy = Nate Greenwall???

Grumpy Wolf

I’m sure all of you remember the post about Nate Greenwall right? Well I think Nate is actually Shark Boy! Take a look at this new post from the PCB:

meinoffice11

And I found this image on another one of Nate’s blogs:

nateOffice1

And yes, that is Nate Greenwall himself. Notice that both offices are the same. Even though some obects were moved, taken away, or added, it is still the same office.

Now that raises another question, who is Comic Kid? The comments on this post contained some possible answers to this question:

Rachel said:
I think that Comic kid = Jeff Kinney, because you know how Jeff Kinney wrote “Diary of a Wimpy Kid”? Well its very cartoony, which makes me think of comics. It’s just a guess, but who knows?

Grey Flame said:
Also, it’s kind of funny that Jeff Kinney’s (Comic Kid?)series is ‘Diary of a Wimpy KID’ and his (maybe) name is Comic KID.
I found that cool 😀

Update! We also have evidence that the Poptropica Creators view this site! Thanks for finding this, Cheerful Claw! A post titled “Poptropica” on Nate’s blog says:

As some of you know or have found out I, along with a lot of other awesome people, work for Poptropica; however, I am NOT the one to email or ask questions about Poptropica. I am like crazy busy – I hardly have time to even look at my blog or even post.

If you do have Poptropica questions here are some good sites to check out:

Wow, that’s awesome – if you click on the words “The Poptropica Help Blog”, it links to the PHB! Hi, Poptropica Creators! 😀

Interesting! Any more ideas and investigations? Comment below and tell us!

What an interesting toungue that words of mystery flow through. Yes, we all know that Hazmat is a bit loopy but this is just weird.

But don’t panic. The languge he is using is a type of Programing language used in computers and preferably games e.g. Poptropica.

If you don’t know, Poptropica is developed with a program called ‘Adobe Flash’. It is a program where anyone can make games and movies with it (I use it too. 😀 I might make a poptropica movie with it too oneday?). The text in the speech bubble below is probably ‘Action Script’ which is from Flash. From Action Script you can run commands and make things happen in the game.
E.g. When you click on this button here. It will make this explode here. WHY DID YOU PRESS IT!

Whether or not this coding is actually from Poptropica or its just Hazmat…being Hazmat, we don’t know. 😛
What do you think?

What we can tell from the script: 
It has something to do with a Bomb that will explode at any moment because of some kind of  CD-o-Matic 10,000, but it appears it can be dropped. Phew! BUT MAJORLY ITS HAZMATS SECRET PLAN!
What on earth could that possibly be about. An evil island ruled by Hazmat Hermit? An island covered with toxic waste? What do you think? Comment what you think?

ST posting:
There’s also a new poll on the Creators’ Blog asking, “What is your all-time favorite island?” I voted for Nabooti Island, although Time Tangled comes a close second and Big Nate third in my mind. The majority of Poptropica’s players think a little differently, though. Here are the current results:

Island Name | Percentage
Early Poptropica | 2%
Shark Tooth | 2%
Time Tangled | 5%
24 Carrot | 3%
Super Power | 12%
Spy | 39%
Nabooti | 12%
Big Nate | 22%

Don’t get mad, Mr. Glove.

Slanted Fish

“Hello, sir. I hope you’re not feeling mad at anybody today,” laughed Vlad the Viking as he stepped into the Hair Club of Spy Island. He’d found another new friend to make as usual.

“Good day, Vlad! Nope, that’s just my name: Mad Glove. Would you like to go out to the BAD Bistro for lunch after a quick game of Soupwords?” replied the spiky, orange-haired boy standing near the entrance of the building. He put his hand to his chin, as if he were about to challenge Vlad to a game. This would make a great picture!, thought the Viking, as he raised his camera. FLASH! Vlad laughed again as he tucked his new photo into an album, to put into his blog later.

“Cool camera,” commented Mad Glove. “Thanks,” replied Vlad, “And yes, I’d love to go to the bistro with you. Spaghetti for the win!” 

When Vlad got back home, he took out the photo he’d taken of his new friend and smiled. Then he booted up his computer and typed in a new entry into his blog:

In this installment of Snapshot Sagas, I went on a trip to the Hair Club on Spy Island. While wandering around near the entrance I met another great Poptropican named Mad Glove! Congratulations Mad Glove, you are the newest Poptropican featured on Snapshot Sagas!

Keep watching for my viking hat and beard, you may be the next Poptropican featured on Snapshot Sagas!

And that ends another Snapshot Saga with Vlad the Viking. Remember to check out thy King’s announcement below, too.

And in honor of Earth Day, Poptropica’s Creators have designed a wonderful poster that encourages us to protect the planet! There goes the AK Island rocket, zooming round Earth!
