🏝️ Poptropica Help Blog 🗺️

Heyyo Poptropicans, it’s Ultimate iPad Expert here! Yesterday the PHB brought some saddening news (yesterday for me, at least – time zones are confusing). Slanted Fish is taking a break from the blog, but there’s good news as well, and that’s what this announcement post is all about!

HPuterpop, Giant Hawk, and I (UiPE) have been placed in charge, and we’re ready for something new. Everyone knows how YouTube is this amazing platform for all sorts of people to create all sorts of video content. Well, we believe that video is the future of entertainment and news. Blogging is so old school. We’re moving on to better things…

And so, we’d like to proudly announce the Poptropica Help Vlogs!

The PHV is a YouTube channel dedicated to videos about Poptropica, with a focus on helping out players. Essentially, we’re shifting from the PHB to the PHV. From here on out, we’re not delivering the latest Poptropica news by blog post anymore. We’ll be vlogging (video blogging) instead!

Consequently, we’ll be closing down the PHB. Once we get into the swing of vlogging, there will be no need for this place we know as the PHB anymore. We know some of you may be saddened by this, so we’re giving you a week to enjoy the blog before everything is completely gone. Goodbyes are difficult, but this is what’s best for the future of Poptropica news. We must take advantage of the superior medium of our time, and that’s why Poptropica Help Blog will soon be Poptropica Help Vlogs.

To kick things off, we’ve uploaded a pilot vlog (which is really several things rolled into one) on our channel (which has been in use by the PHB before, though the vlogging is a first). Hopefully, this introduction welcomes you to the future of the PHV by showing the kinds of content we’re excited to produce for you guys. You can check it out right here (and on our channel as well):

We’re using our prior Poptropica Help Videos channel for the new PHV in order to keep our precious subs. Check it out here! So cool, right? Be sure to like, rate, and of course, subscriiiiibe!

Red Dragon and April Not-Madness!

April 1, 2016April 1, 2016 Spencer

Hey folks, Cobalt here! So, while the PHB is still working on bringing you some grand-scale changes around here, over on Poptropica we’ve got a winner for March Madness!

Crazy, right? Anyway – I just dropped on in to let you all know which members-only island is finally open to all again! It’s…

2016-04-01

Red Dragon Island! The month-long voting chaos is over! But I am a bit sad Nabooti isn’t playable to non-members for sure now… Team Nabooti, let’s riot!

No, I’m kidding. Don’t.

So, non-members can once again enjoy traveling to ancient Japan via magic tree house! Be sure to check out our Red Dragon Island Guide for a walkthrough.

Well, that about wraps this post up! Make sure to smash that like button, and drop a comment down below! Cobalt out!

Stay popping, Poptropicans.

Hey Poptropicans, it’s Slanted Fish here – and guess what, something BIG is popping!

But first, the bad news… how shall I put it? It’s not you, it’s me. I just need some space. I think we should see other people, and I think it’s for the best. In case you couldn’t tell by my cliché breakup lines – I, Slanted Fish, will be leaving the Poptropica Help Blog indefinitely.

I’m sorry this comes so soon and sudden after the departure of our beloved Blake and Samwow5, but with all the busyness of the oh-so-~POPular~ life I lead, I feel like I need to take a break from this wonderful place for a while. I may return, though, so don’t cry just yet.

Here’s where the great popping news comes in! I’m leaving PHB in good hands – the hands of my fellow coworkers. Taking on the leadership are the dynamic trio of UiPE, HPuterpop, and Giant Hawk. With the help of the rest of the PHB team, they’ve already got some exciting ideas up their sleeves and are eager to share them with you. Now, I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I can offer this teaser image:

Check back on the PHB tomorrow to find out what this is all about – it’s super grand and you won’t want to miss it! In fact… you may not even recognize the PHB after this. That’s how big this is.

Until we meet again, stay popping, Poptropicans.

Home Island, Sneak Peeks

PHB Sneak Peeks: Skydock and Christmas Stock

March 29, 2016March 31, 2016 Spencer

Hey folks, Cobalt here!

So, remember the sneak peeks we saw of Skydock Island? Some say it is just an extension of the Home Island, some say its just a brand new version of Home Island. Point is, there is a lot of discussion and mystery surrounding it. Hopefully today I can give you a more solid answer, despite me sometimes being liquid. 😀 Anyway, on with the post…

Thanks for these insights go to Entrippy and another anonymous ‘glitcher’ from the PHC!

We’ve seen these sneak peeks before, some on the Daily Pop, and some on the PHB’s original Skydock post. But it doesn’t hurt to look at them again with new perspective! Let’s take a look:

Beached: Your ship has come in.

Trading Post: Exotic treasures from all around the world.

Join the Club: Looking for adventure? Look no further.

Under Construction: Open during renovations.

In its full glory, this three-places-in-one is shaped as a pirate ship. It appears to be a small hub for all of the current buildings on Home Island. The weirdest thing about all of these are the Christmas decorations. Are they planning really, really ahead, or has development on this slowed down?

This is definitely Christmas themed, which I find really odd. Hate to be a Popspiracy theorist, but I definitely think they stopped working on this. These pictures are live as of 3/28/16. Though, there is more to it than Christmas stuff, which gives me hope this’ll happen with different seasons, too.

These are just a few of the descriptions up close – you can see the full pictures on the PHB’s original Skydock post. Hopefully you can get the main idea, though. Also, the picture at the top left has an elevator, and it’s a second platform. Pretty nifty stuff! 🙂

We’ve seen snow on Home Island before, but there’s another feature that’s only shown up behind-the-scenes: the ability to throw snowballs! Kind of like Club Penguin. Now that’s cool!

Anyway folks, that about wraps this post up. Hopefully we’ll see this update soon? Reporting off,

your favorite author

Edit 3/30/16: The Creators have announced March Madness voting ends 3/31/16! (That was kinda self explanatory, though.) That is tomorrow, make sure to vote and if you have vote some more!

Just a note: You do not need to re-comment on newer posts if you haven’t gotten yours yet. Once I reply to your comment mentioning “You being added to the list,” then I have seen your comment and added it to my literal list, so yours will be made after each one before is made.
