Poptropolis Games Island

In the underwater city of…

Brave Tomato

Poptropolis! 😀

Hey guys, BT here! The new island has been announced! Remember those Greek ruin-esque Daily Pops you saw? Well, these Creators give us something to really leave us anticipating: a trailer that doesn’t yet have island footage, but it does give us some facts about what it’s about through stuff… and even a short thing of a Poptropican throwing a javelin!

The PHB’s “Poptropolis Games” Discussion Page can be found here!

Announcing the next Poptropica Island!

 We’re pleased to announce the next Poptropica Island: Poptropolis Games!

We’ll have much more information about Poptropolis Games soon!

Poptropolis Games seems like a combonation of an Olympics event in the Atlantis-like ruins of Poptropolis. There must be a certain time every year, when Poptropolis rises from the water and the people hold an Olympic-like event. And probably each player is divided into “tribes”.
Well, we’ll just have to keep an eye out for the…. JAVELIN!
*BT ducks when the javelin passes over her head*
Random Player: Sorry! Just preparing for the Poptropolis Games!
Well, as I was saying before I was rudely interupted, we’ll have to keep an eye out for more information to come out. Alright, I’m kinda excited now. BT out! *looks at the hole caused by the javelin* Is anybody going to fix that?

Everything about this week was about Twisted Thicket! One of the things the Creators revealed this week was the Twisted map!

Looks like a twisting turning path through the forest you’ll take!  So for you members, take care with surviving! And these 10 members have survived to tell the tale of their journeys! So say a hearty congratulations (and a welcome back!) to…

1. Happy Walker!!!

2. Prickly Cheetah!

3. Bronze Owl!

4. Angry Knuckle!

5. Neat Gamer!

6. Shiny Bones!

7. Zany Bear!

8. White Beetle!

9. Smart Shark!

and 10. Lone Ghost!

So for members, it’s already been released. But there’s no demo for us! Surprising. (Thanks to Flamez for all the pics from here on out!)

So when is the release date for non-members you may ask? It’s May 2!

And if you login to Poptropica, you might see these screens:

And you will get this ad card when you get onto your account!

That’s all for this week, folks! Have a great weekend! 😀

Introducing the New Feature!!

Shaggy Tornado

Seems like most of our speculations in GB’s post below were correct!! The new feature that’s coming soon is Poptropica Friends!!

It’s a combination of friending people, the Pop quiz, the photos, and the Costume Closet in one! So if you guessed one, or even most, of these items, you were correct! 😀

Soon you’ll be able to make friends with the people you meet in Poptropica! You can follow their adventures in the game, and show off your own accomplishments. You’ll create a unique personality profile to share with the world. When you play through Islands, you’ll earn photos that mark your achievements in the game. Members will have access to a costume closet that lets you store as many as 30 individual costumes!

You’ll find all this and more with Poptropica friends. Keep an eye out here for more information, including when you can start using these new features!

Recap of the Video:

  • Friends ~  If you want to add friends, click on the person, and then the friend button! (It also shows the country they’re from) Or if you know your friend’s username, you can add that! Ex: Monstercarnival2012, this yields a character named Monster Carnival wearing a chicken suit! (pictured below, thanks Flamez) I wonder….

It also occurred to me, if we can add usernames, we can add the Creators as our friends! 😀

  • Costume Closet ~ It’s a scroll on your Profile page that, based on the post, is available for members. It can store up to 30 costumes, and to costumize it, just click on it! You can also share your costumes with friends!
  • Photo Album ~ As you play the islands, once you get to an important milestone, you get a picture!
  • Pop Quiz~ When you log in, you can answer questions that match your personality. You’ll see more of your personality on your profile the more you answer!  You can also see what your friends answered in the same window under “Recent Activity”

Poptropica Friends:  coming soon!! One more thing: That video was posted onto Youtube on March 7. 😉

BREAKING NEWS!

The Twisted Thicket release date has been announced! So when can you play Twisted Thicket?

Inquiring Poptropicans want to know, and now we’re happy to announce that Twisted Thicket will be available for Poptropica Members starting next Thursday, April 12.

You can follow along with the countdown on the Poptropica homepage, or check right here for the latest updates. You’ll be in the thick of things before you know it!

April 12! That’s about a week away! So get ready for this adventure! 🙂

PHC chatter Max has taken screenies of the sneak peeks from Daily Pop and has a theory that they could all be from the same island! What do you think?

~~~

Another PHC chatgoer, Hawk/Rough Raptor was cruising the Avatar Studio and discovered a Poptropican….that was holding….SURPRISE! A DOG. YES, A DOG! See for yourself. 😮

The character does look like a diva anyway, but how did she get the dog? EDIT: Barbie ad!Interesting…. Leave your thoughts about this in the comments!

~~~

And lastly, LS has notified us 2 new ads in Poptropica! The first one is an Adventure Time video advertisement. If you watch the video, you can get the Finn costume!

The second ad is also an Adventure Time ad, but it’s a quest! You have to get to the top of the treehouse before the fire burns it down! Your prizes are the Fire Monster Power and the Flambo follower! I found it on one of my younger accounts on Great Pumpkin. LS found it on Early Pop.

~~~

One last thing: Have you guys noticed the loss of the Costume Collector in the Store? Do you think they’re replacing this with the Costume Closets? Leave ideas in the comments! Well, this has been the end of Poptropica News for tonight! This has been ST! 😀

Dat Nose

About those noses.. thankfully, that was just an April Fool’s prank. 

This goofy prank, which probably scared most of you, is not a mandatory thing. In fact, you have the power to make it optional. These hideous fake noses could now be found in the store, so you could look silly the entire year – not just April 1st. That day is just an excuse to be prankful ( which is not a real word ).

What could the next April Fools prank be? Maybe we could have ears, or turn into super villains, or they make our Poptropican the opposite gender or something. Anyway it is, the Creators have proved that they still have their childish side.

By the way, if you want something funny to read, Party with Hobos is in the middle of its ninth season and so far it’s great!
