Hello everyone! I just wanted to let you know that the island is officially out for members. Everyone else can play up to the end of the demo, and the full island will be out for non-members starting January 16, 2014. Also, the Poptropica logo on the front screen is glitching out! It’s so cool!

Be sure the check out the PHB’s Mocktropica Island Guide, now complete with pictures and a full written walkthrough! (Anyone is welcome to contribute if they want.)

Members, don’t forget to pick up the free Narf Follower Store item that just came out!

EDIT: I finished the island!

Mocktropica & Sky Island Peeks – and a hint of ‘MonsterCarniv’

In all the recent excitement on the PHB involving locating some hidden Poptropica files, the Mega Fighting Bots site not being playable (it’s back up now!), and the mysterious “Gamer Guy” (who turned out to just be a regular commenter having a bit of fun, not a Creator), you may or may not remember that Mocktropica is due to be released tomorrow for members!

There’s a couple of recent Daily Pop sneak peeks that look like they’ll belong on the new Poptropica-parody island. The rest look like they might be part of a separate “sky island” – more on that in this post. Anyway, check ’em out (click to enlarge):

There’s even a spot for the Mocktropica trailer video on Main Street of Poptropolis Games! (thanks, ayman351) Look how happy my character is to see that cow go all haywire.

Check back tomorrow for more Mocktropica goodness! We’ll have a written walkthrough up as soon as possible, but in the meantime, you’re welcome to exchange tips in the comments and contribute to our guide.

Also, the PoptropicaCreators channel on YouTube recently uploaded a new Poptropica Tour video. Note especially at around the 1:10 mark, where they show the process of saving your game – by typing in monstercarniv in the username box! It’s been a while since they’ve hinted at Monster Carnival…

Oh, and one more thing: in case you missed the memo, the PHB is having a Christmas party this Saturday and we’d love to have you come! Tough Icicle (Samwow5) will be hosting, so check out his post for more details. The more the merrier!

Poptropican Portraits Round 2

Hi Gs,

Everyone’s been waiting for em, here are the new Poptropican Portraits! –

Just a couple notes for you guys,

First, I just started using a new art program.  It’s free, and amazing, and you can find it here.  Can you tell the difference?

Remember to leave your requests on THIS POST, and then check back next week (Tuesday or Wednesday) to obtain them!  Any requests not on this post will not be accepted.

Also, a few of the Pop bloggers have been working on a blog Hats with Hearts, a charity site with St. Jude’s hospital. 🙂 Be sure to check that out.

Now, for all you sneak peek hunters —

I’m going to analyze Gamer Guy’s room from Zomberry Island; it’s got some MAJOR craziness!

Poptropica

Mega Fighting Bots is anime… what does this mean?  Here’s the strange part though…

Translated to English, this poster says “War of the Islands”… what?!  What do you think?  Tell me in the comments. 🙂

Mega Fighting Bots (among other things)

Hey Poptropicans, guess who? Yeah, it’s me, Angry Wing. I know you all want to get up and give me a standing ovation, but please, fight the urge and hold it in for now. Aw, I’m just kidding with you. I’m not here for applause, I’m here to tell you stuff. Stuff other than talking about applause. ANYWAY!

All the talk is about Gamer Guy, Gamer Guy’s firing, Mocktropica, glitches, and Mega Fighting Bots. A little background: Gamer Guy was first introduced a long time ago, when his character began appearing in some Daily Pop Sneak Peeks. Remember, everyone wanted to know when Poptropicans would be getting iPhones? Gamer Guy then was a character on Zomberry Island. Most likely, you played video games in his house. Then, last Tuesday, Captain Crawfish handed over the helm of the Creator’s blog to him. (Get the pun there?)

Finally, what’s gotten him fired is his promotion of a rival website. This is where we arrive at Mega Fighting Bots. Still with me so far?

The Mega Fighting Bots website is empty except for this:

megafightingbots

Definitely not much to get from this, although the game was previously playable…

I have come to one conclusion. It’s all just another promotion for Poptropica’s newest island. A fun one, more elaborate than we have seen in the past. Kudos to the Creators for reeling us in on this adventure.

One more thing: this shouldn’t really have come as too much of a surprise, as this Sneak Peek was posted weeks ago.

Just sayin’.

That’s it, Poptropicans! This has been a story recap/update from your favorite friendly neighborhood Angry Wing. 😉

Full Effect — not yet here…

Hi Gs,

Today, I logged into my pop account, clicked on return to your game, which was Time Tangled (yes, still enjoying the update).

Poptropica Creators' Blog

I was surprised to see not Time Tangled at all, but in fact MEGA FIGHTING BOTS!  And once the screen was loaded, I couldn’t get out!  If I went back to the home page, it would redirect to MFB!  Not only that, but it wasn’t the normal MFB site; it was the new Poptropica format/player with Mega Fighting Bots inside it!

The first effect of Gamer Guy’s ploy, I believe.  You can still make a new player, and you can still go to recent islands through the homepage… but this is just  the beginning, I think.  In the next couple days, I believe Poptropica will start to fall apart!

Edit: Due to comments, I wonder really if this is intentional, or just a weird glitch… jumping-to-conclusionitis is a condition I suffer from. 😉
