You probably already know that the Poptropica Store includes some free stuff you can claim. But now there’s more, and it’s called Free+. Let the Creators’ Blog explain:
You might have noticed a new icon on some of the items in the Poptropica Store.
What is Free+? Free+ means that the item is free for everybody who wants it, and also has some extra-special features for Members. When you play “Shrink Shot” or “Prepare for Impact,” for example, you’ll get additional powers and prizes if you’re a Member.
So, kinda cool for the members, not so much for everyone else. 😛 But still, it’s nice to have free stuff, and when an item is labeled Free+, it just means that Poptropica Members will get extra features or prizes. Nice.
In other news, Legendary Swords releases on tomorrow’s legendary date – 11/11/11! That’s not gonna happen for another thousand years. It would be pretty epic to release on 11:11am/pm, too. Plus, if it’s your 11th birthday that day, kudos! I myself will be 15 on the 15th, so that’s awesome too. xD
Hey, guys, poptropicans, fans, gamers, or however you’d like to call yourself. It’s EP posting, and thanks to anyone that supported me in my last post detailing my current condition and status. Well, I’m feeling much better, and am glad to be back and to say that I can indeed continuing posting for the PHB. Though I will be posting a bit less often due to complications, I will try to at least post once in some time or be active on thephc.
The PCB announced a new book being released just recently. Remember that Choose Your Own Adventure Store on Nabooti Island? It’s a place where they advertise new books and such just like the Magic Treehouse Store on Red Dragon Island. Well, a new book has come out, and it’s been added to the store.
The book is titled The Trail of Lost Time. They say there are many other new books added as well into the selection. To check them out, visit the store.
Well, looks like Captain Crawfish sure enjoys these new books.
Finally, the creators gave us a neat shiny poster advertising Legendary Swords Island, released on 11/11/11
Actually, it’s available in 3 now! Epic bannder/poster, huh?
A quick note: 11/11/11 is also Veterans Day. Please be sure to remember soldiers who died and who are still living that fought in past wars. In Europe they actually call it Armistice Day, and at 11/11 on 11:00 there the Big Ben actually rings 11 times to remember the day. 11/11 is actually the day they had a cease fire during World War 1 ending the wars. Just a quick reminder/history lesson.
ANYONE WHO SUBSCRIBES GETS THEIR NAME AND YOUTUBE CHANNEL IN THE CREDITS OF THE FIRST EPISODE AND ON THE PHB! 😀
Hey there PHB brethernen!
Now you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been horribly inactive on this site lately. This doesn’t mean I don’t love poptropica or you guys any less. Well, not that I love you guys… some of you are dudes.
*awkward silence*
Anyway… my absence has been due to two main reasons. One, high school. Going into high school really changed my life because I need to make sure I get good grades to ensure myself a good future. I’ve been spending more time studying and less time on the computer because I know it will pay off later.
That doesn’t mean however, that I haven’t had any free time at all. But most of that time has been spent on projects with my friends. None of them really like poptropica at all. On thing thats thrown a lot of my time out the window is Grim and Jake. Yah, you remember that thing me and my friend announced a while back that was hoplessly delayed again, and again, and again? Well it hasn’t been forgotten but it has undergone some major changes. Instead of being a webseries, it will now be a collection of comedic short films ranging anywhere from exploding computers to manic world olympics.
If you want to check it out you can always find us at youtube.com/grimandjake . I’ve told him that I want more time for poptropica stuff but he insists we get this done first, so we made a deal. If we get 30 subscribers or more by next Friday, I promise you fingers double crossed stamp my heart or whatever you crazy kids do to swear these days that I will do whatever in my power to post some poptropica stuff. Atleast once a week.
Well, I guess that’s all I really needed to say, just wanted make you sure you knew I was “still alive”.
Legendary Swords is just ONE week away! 😀 Yay! The Creators’ have posted up a Legendary Swords tutorial to help us play!
Basically, the video describes Swords, Moves, and Health Crystals.
Swords
To view swords, click on the sword on the top left hand corner. It shows the swords included in the actual game and the swords that you bought from the store, if any. You can switch between Rusty Relic, Ninja Sword, Templar Knight Sword, and lightsaber ( 😀 ), plus any other sword that you might have!
Moves
The moves depend on how you move: run, walk or jump. It will show you in the video. 🙂
Health Crystals
The health meter is the big sword at the top. It goes down when you get hurt. To replenish your health, try to find a cluster of pink crystals! Swing the sword to harvest them. They go to your health crystal inventory next to the health meter. Click the crystal icon to add to your health! 😀

Where Was Dr. Hare?
A couple days ago, a new Dr. Hare travel photo was posted. The Creators have revealed that this hop-happy bunny’s location was Bueno Aires, Argentina!
And there’s another photo of our favorite carrot-nommer in front of the famous Galileo Galilei Planetarium in Buenos Aires. Where do you think he’ll travel to next?

Cabin Fever Ad
A new ad about Jeff Kinney’s new Diary of a Wimpy Kid series Book 6: Cabin Fever has appeared in Pop! (Of course XD) Thanks LS! (Also for reminding to give you credit :P)
You have 60 seconds to hit ALL of the Whirley St. kids with snowballs to get two prizes. One is a paper costume (similar to the costume that was released for members!) and the other is ONE FREE CHAPTER of the new book! These prizes should be incentive enough for you to play this ad! 😀
Hi guys! Slightly long time no see. I’d first like to say I hope you all had a great Halloween and you didn’t worsen your cold like I did. Or get any rocks for candy, which I can’t quite admit happened to me.
Second, let’s congratulate the first ten finishers of Game Show Island! w00t!
Many Poptropicans have already defeated the robots at their own game (shows), and made Poptropica safe for humans again. As we usually do, we want to take a minute to recognize the first 10 players to complete Game Show Island — starting with a familiar face in the first spot.
1. Grumpy Icicle
2. Maroon Seal
3. Zany Speck
4. Sleepy Wing
5. Thirsty Sword
6. Young Joker
7. Small Hero
8. Mighty Tummy
9. Sleepy Ant
10. Striped Fire
Congratulations to all the winners so far, and to those yet to come!
It’s Halloween, and while most people are thinking about treats, Dr. Hare is thinking about how to trick the world into submitting to his fuzzy-fisted rule. Here is, once again in a new city.
Where do you think he is this time?
SHARK BOY
My first thought was to associate the clock in the background with Big Ben, but in truth, Dr. Hare would never make it to London without me. I’d force him to take me with him even if it meant dealing with an evil pink bunny, because if there’s any place I want to go, it’s London!
(but what do you mean he’s already been to London?!)
Hmm, where do you think he is this time?
Well, luckily I won’t be feeling incredibly jealous, ’cause this time he’s in Buenos Aires! (Thanks to Shaggy Tornado for letting me know!)
