Great Pumpkin Island, Web Development

Open sesame… and maybe some pumpkin seeds :D

The doors [well, not really doors] of Great Pumpkin Island are now OPEN TO ALL, and we have just the right resources for you: click here for a written guide, map, video walkthrough, or the official info page! 🙂

In other rather drastic news, we recently lost our Twitter account, @PoptropicaHelp, which was deactivated by a hacker. As a result, our Poptropica Help Tweets service will be continuing on a new account: @Poptropica_Help. Since we have lost our Twitter followers in this process, we would greatly appreciate your support if those of you who use Twitter would follow us. Thank you.

Chicken alert! Chicken alert!

Don’t worry, it’s not a real chicken! XD It’s just the new PCB post! …About a chicken alarm!

You do need a good chicken alarm now and then.

Yes, you’re all thinking O_o, WTH?, and all that. XD Just what kind of island uses a stuffed, unreal chicken for an alarm?! Will we be facing a Jurassic Island? Mansion Island? We’ll have to wait and see. 😛 BTW, did anyone notice the broken egg and barbed wire on the tree? XD Some of our commenters have suggested that this could be a trap of sorts.

Hijuyo: In other news, the PHB’s Second Annual Halloween Costume Contest has just closed. The judges are excited to see the 100+ entries we have received, and we have good news for everyone: YOU get to play a role in the judging!

During the next week, the judges will get together to decide on TEN finalists. This will then go into a poll that we will post on the PHB (watch for it next Friday, October 15th!), and ANYONE can vote on who they think has the best costume.

The poll will end JUST before Halloween (which gives you 2 weeks of intense competition!) so we can announce the winners on the night of scares! 😀

Blog Hijacking & The PHF

POLL TIME!

Plesh take this poll: http://www.blog.thephf.com/2010/09/30/what-do-you-want-to-come-out-next-poll/ 🙂

HERRO!

I am hijacking this blog to make a VERY important announcement…I FINALLY GOT TO MEET ELMO!!!

*silence*

What, you’re not happy for me? Fine. Who needs you anyway.

I kid. What I really wanted to post about…has been posted on the PHF Blog. It is a post about…The POPMATRIX! (which is finally out, by the way so READ THE POST…:)). While you’re on the PHF Blog, please take the time to subscribe (right sidebar, topmost!). Thank you dear. (LOLOLO)

Oh, and just in case you were wondering why I’ve been less active on the PHB, it’s mostly because of the PHF. But hopefully I’ll be more active when my schedule frees up.

So…I’ll just be hiding in this extremely convenient manhole here…

Don’t you just love staring out the window?

Rich mansions out in the country? Only on Poptropica can you find these insanely huge houses adorned with an unnecessary large amount of windows. Check out this new update by Captain Crawfish of the Poptropica Creators’ Blog:

Takin’ it to the house

How many different ways can you imagine a big, fancy house in the country? If you were a Poptropica Creator, you’d have to imagine several. Yesterday we showed you one such sketch. Here’s another.

This isn’t even all of them! We’ll show you a couple more of these early designs as the week goes on.

Sounds like we’ll be able to look forward to more of these house sketches this week! In the meantime, check out our new Poptropica Creators’ Database – a collection of information about the team behind Poptropica – full names, aliases, pictures, and more. You can find it listed on the Cool Stuff page.

Also, any Poptropica fan is welcome to join our many networks listed on the PoptropicaHelp.net homepage if you haven’t already! We’ve got an amazing community at the PHC (Poptropica Help Chat), and great visual stuff at PHV (Poptropica Help Videos), just to name a few. Join us!

IM BAXXXX

Wheewhoot! I’m back from my vacation and had a mildly good time…. Knotts was amazing… I got some sketchbooks… And came home to a happy happy happy puppy dog. x3

(For anyone who gets the farewell message, kutos to you!)

Hobey ho, lets go.

*Hijuyo interrupts* That deserves a PARTAAYYY! Welcome back, Tsuki~!

Steamworks premiere party!

Poptropica Members have been having a blast on Steamworks Island. Besides trying to solve the mystery of what happened to the Island’s inhabitants, Poptropicans have also been spending a lot of time at the Steamworks Gear Shop — that’s this island’s common room.

It’s been fun to see Poptropica Members hanging out on a new Island, with all the zany combinations of costumes and items they can imagine. Check out this motley crew!


I dropped by, too, but nobody told me there was a dress code! I felt out of place not wearing a Mech Pilot costume.

Always a wallflower…

Keep an eye out for the Poptropica Creators in the Steamworks Island common room. Maybe we’ll see you there!

Yup, and maybe a Poptropica Creator will be nice enough to party with the PHB people. 🙂
