In living color!

May 31, 2012May 31, 2012 Shaggy Tornado

Remember the announcement of the Wimpy Kid that was going to make history? Well, the announcment is….

A NEW ISLAND NAMED

WIMPY BOARDWALK!

And better yet…

IN LIVING COLOR!

*coughs* It’s tiring using that big voice…. Anyway here’s the trailer for Wimpy Boardwalk, coming this summer to ~~Disney Channel~~ Poptropica!

Island Plot:

It’s summertime, but the living ain’t easy for a wimpy kid. When Greg and Rowley visit the boardwalk for a relaxing beach vacation, they never expect to run afoul of thieving teens, ravenous seagulls, and crooked carnies. Only you can clean up Greg’s mess before vacation ends!

Before you go, there’s one more task to be done. A devious gamer has left an embarrassing message about Greg on a high-score list in the arcade. Can you master the game, save Greg’s dignity, and become the boardwalk champion? Find out how to get Membership now!

Members get an additional Wimpy Boardwalk gear pack, which includes Beachgoer costume, Heat Wave power, and Beach Umbrella item. The Beachgoer is ONLY available during Early Access!

Interesting! First time a character has appeared in 2 islands, and first time Wimpy Kid is in color! History -making announcement indeed! 😀 Speaking of announcements, have you noticed the homepage has been changed?

Yeah. Also, the Creators mentioned that if Members beat the ancient warrior in the Poptropolis Games, they can get this Ancient Warriors suit!

~~~

That’s all for me! I haven’t been on lately because of school and stuff, but since summer’s rolled around, I’m finally free! 😀 Have a great summer!/ end of school!

Bonus Items, Poptropolis Games Island, Tribes

Last Legendary Tribes!

May 19, 2012December 1, 2012 Slanted Fish

Last but not least, the Creators have revealed two more of the tribes – in addition to the 5 shown this past week – to compete in the Poptropolis Games, making a total of eight victory-inspired tribes!

Please welcome:

Wildfire

Winning a competition as tough as the Poptropolis Games takes more than talent. It takes a burning desire to win. Do you have the fiery passion to join the Wildfire?

It certainly does seem to be “the hottest of them all,” because a quick poll on the PCB sidebar reveals that 45% of all voters have expressed interest in this tribe the most! The Seraphim tribe comes second at only 17%, and all the others have less than 10% of the total votes each.

Are you lost in not knowing which one to pick? Try…

Pathfinders

There’s only one route to the gold medal, and this tribe thinks they know which way to go. Maybe you’ll help them get there!

Also, more big news– the Legendary Swords mini quest is now completely FREE! Previously, it was free+, meaning that everyone could play up until a certain point, where you would need membership to continue.

Now nonmembers who have been dying to get in some more kills can rejoice! Get this adventure pack in the Poptropica Store, and if you need further tips after that step, the PHB has a guide written by our very own Brave Tomato! Click here to read it.

So, which of the eight tribes do you like most? Let us know in the comments! I personally like the Flying Squid tribe. 🙂

Poptropolis Games Island, Tribes

These Tribes have got vibe.

The poptropica creators have released some of the tribal symbols that will be on Poptropilis island. Take a look!

The tribes of Poptropica

Choosing your tribe in Poptropolis Games is no small decision. You’ll fly your tribe’s colors both in the game, and on your personality profile. Here’s your first look at a few of the tribal logos.

Pretty nice, eh? That’s only half of them. There are still four more to be revealed!

Over the next several week we’ll be bringing you even more information about Poptropolis Games, including all of the tribal names and icons!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Those are pretty awesome looking. I wonder if you restart the island that you can change your tribe.

GTG dinner calling!

*turns into the incredible hulk (RAAAWWR!!) and crashes through the wall, and runs off*

(Yep, I still can’t wait to see the Avengers!)

Poptropolis Games Island

Friends, statues, fires and babies.

May 11, 2012May 14, 2012 Green Boa

Where would you find all this in a blog post? Well, in the PHB, of course! 😉

In the real world, the olympic flame was recently lit in Greece. Looks like something similar is about to happen in the Poptropilis Games.

Is this burning an eternal flame?

Well, probably not. It’s hard for a flame to burn at the bottom of the ocean. But when the city of Poptropolis re-surfaces every 100 years, the ceremonial torch burns for as long as the competitive fires do!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Hey, I just realized something. How do the citizens of Poptropilis BREATH underwater? I mean, even I can hold my breath underwater for 2-3 minutes, but 100 years, might be a bit of a stretch.

Time for the next PCB post.

What, I’m not cool enough?

Well, I’ve had enough. Us creators can see who have friended us, even though you can’t see everyone who has friended you. But listen, I’ve been looking at the other creators’ pages. Binary Bard has 2,534 friends, Black Widow has 3,083 friends, and even that total NERD Ned Noodlehead has 1,874 friends. But me?

I have 19. NINETEEN!

What? You don’t like me? The eye-patch intimidating you? Still angry that I tried to rob and loot and steal from all those islands? That wasn’t personal or anything, you know!

Well, I quit. Bye!

It wasn’t nice not being your friend. :’-(

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Oh well. CC gone. The one we used to love nomming so much.

*tries to hold back laughter*

Haha! I’m KIDDING! CC isn’t leaving. I faked that post.

This one is the real one… or is it?

These friends of mine

I’ve been having a blast making new friends on Poptropica. I wanted to introduce you to a cool person I’m following

Tiny Crush has an awesome outfit, has never cheated on a test, and has completed 25 Poptropica Islands! (Not Vampire’s Curse, though — what’s up with that?)

It’s great to know Tiny Crush, and I’m looking forward to seeing what else he gets up to in Poptropica. Maybe you can meet Tiny Crush, or even the Poptropica Creators, by visiting the common rooms on Poptropica. No matter who is there, we guarantee you’ll be making some new friends!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Uh, yes. It is the real one. Some more info we can see about Tiny Crush is his favourite ice cream flavour is Cookies ‘n’ Cream (same as CC!), he does some sort of karate, he hasn’t been bitten by a dog, something about hair, his fav kind of ball is a soccer ball and something similar to Director D. Hmmm.

Anyway, I’d better hurry up and finish up this post. One more 100% genuine post from the PCB.

New in the Poptropica Store

We have a few new things to share this week in the Poptropica Store. First, Poptropica Members can now get their exclusive Poptropolis Games gear!

These Member-only items include a snazzy Wrestling Singlet costume, a handheld Discus that you can throw around the screen, and the incredible Plant-a-Statue power, which lets you bring a little bit of the Poptropolis Games to any Island in Poptropica.

But that’s not all! There’s also a new costume in the store, available to everyone with Membership or credits.

Now, if somebody calls you a big baby, you can tell them they’re right, and throw a fit to prove it.

Enjoy!

BLACK WIDOW

Uhhhhh, what? Who agrees that these baby costumes are the worst ones in the store? All they do is cry and shake their rattles. Seriously people, don’t waste your credits on these costumes. However the members only items look pretty cool.

Cya people! *turns into Iron Man and flies away*

(BTW, I can’t wait to see the new Avengers movie!)

Web Development

Okay… the Poptropica Friends page has become a little TOO popular…

May 6, 2012May 14, 2012 Brave Tomato

Update: Everything is back to normal; PopFriends is back up!

Before the Creators signed off (kinda) for the weekend, they released this post about this being a big week in Poptropica and all….

CAUTION: FRIDAY REFERENCE AHEAD

Friday, May 4, 2012

Everybody’s working for the weekend

Whew! What a week it was at Poptropica. One day, we launched Poptropica Friends, and the next day, we opened up Twisted Thicket to everyone. Now, the weekend begins, and we plan to rest a bit — but we hope you’ll take the next few days to dive in and take advantage of all the great new stuff Poptropica has to offer!

So get out there — earn photos, make friends, and explore the tangled undergrowth of Twisted Thicket. And keep an eye out for all the other great stuff that’s coming soon to Poptropica, including Poptropolis Games!

CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

But there’s one problem with that…

There’s that message that’s been appearing on all the profile pages.

Random Person: Aw, come on! I wanna see my pictures!

Well… the Creators were able to explain the phenomonon. (is that spelled right?)

Friends overload!

Whoa! We hoped that everyone would like Poptropica Friends, but even we didn’t expect it to be thispopular. The demand for all the new Friends features has been so great that it’s overloaded our servers! As a result, we’ve temporarily had to turn off some of the features to address the load.Be assured, we’re working hard behind the scenes to bring everything back up to speed. We’ll post any updates right here.Thank you for your enthusiasm!
