Hellos & Goodbyes

Time To Move On

MT

Hey, everyone. You could probably tell by the title of this post that I am resigning, only for my own personal reasons.

It was a pleasure to add my contributions to this helpful blog. I’d like to thank Hijuyo for giving me this opportunity, but I believe it’s time for me to leave to let someone else’s dreams come true. I’ll still promise myself to be writing Party with Hobos , but I will no longer be on the PHC. Good luck in future islands, Poptropicans! I was pleased to help you & this blog. I’m just kind of out of words right now, so I apologize that this is so short. But yeah..

Farewell,

MT.

‘Wheel’ now know about the next book.

Green Boa

Hey guys. 🙂 (update: see below for “Photastic” post!)

The Creators have posted the cover of the next Wimpy Kid book. Here it is…

The third wheel? I didn’t even know that we had two to start with!

From what I’ve heard from the news (Jeff Kinney was at a childrens books writers’ expo in Sydney, NSW, Australia) it’s basically about Greg trying to find a date to the valentines day dance. My guess is, he’ll say that he’s got a great chance of going with Holly Hills or something, but he’ll end up just going with his best friend, Rowley.

EDIT (Hijuyo):

We’ve recently heard from a PHB reader, Lucas, that his Poptropican jaramillo14 (Lone Heart) is the one featured in the PCB’s “Photastic” post. Congratulations, Lone Heart, for earning all 109 photos currently available in Poptropica’s photo album! Hard work does pay off. 🙂

How many photos have YOU earned on Poptropica Friends? Do you have more or less than your friends? Let us know in the comments below!

Membership, Sneak Peeks

In living color!

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!

Wimpy Boardwalk Bonus QuestIsland Bonus Quest

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 Only Items

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!

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. 🙂

These Tribes have got vibe.

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!

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