🏝️ Poptropica Help Blog 🗺️

*TV static* We now interrupt our normal broadcast to bring you…this! A post wherein a sad boy will beg and plead for the fate of humanity!!!

…But not really. What I really need to ask is that you guys PLZZZZZZZ (notice, that’s 7 times the z’s!! THAT’S A LOT OF Z’S) take this poll!

–> TAKE THIS POLL <–

So…I’m just gonna walk off this stage here-*falls* MY SPLEEEEEEEEN

In other news, Steamworks Island will be available for non-members in about six days! 😀 To build up excitement for it, Captain Crawfish from the PCB posted a travelogue of his adventures in this new land:

Captain Crawfish’s Steamworks Island travelogue

Believe it or not, we’re only a week away from opening Steamworks Island to everyone! During the Early Access period, I’ve ventured away from Skullduggery Island to explore the mysteries of Steamworks.

Lucky for you, I took pictures! Settle in for a vacation slideshow like you’ve never seen. And no talking until I’m done.

One of the great things about Steamworks Island is how many different ways there are to get around. You might overlook this little bit of simple machinery on first glance.

But look what happens when you stand on it and start running!

It takes you all the way up the thread of the screw.

I know there’s a mystery to solve on Steamworks Island, but I was having too much fun with this. As it turns out, that was a recurring theme of my trip.

Sneak Peeks

Chatting with an SUV

September 2, 2010September 2, 2010 Shaggy Tornado

As a follow-up to the post that the Creators made yesterday, this new post by Hades concerns the SUV that we saw being oddly driven by a dog. O_o. Weird right? Who knows why a dog would be driving an SUV? Anyways….

Four-wheel drive

Yesterday you saw an overhead shot of a vehicle from a new Poptropica Island. We’ve managed to get in a little closer to show you a more detailed picture.

Looks like fans of Poptropica have some off-roading in their future! But… what will you find off the beaten path?

Answer: A muddy road, dinosaur tracks, and who knows what else! This might be an island of horrors after all… though i can’t find a relationship between dinosaur tracks and mansions, but we’ll figure it out soon enough. And now on to…

THE SECRET POPTROPICA CHAT!
Update: Seems to have stopped working. Creators fix all the good stuff. ~.~

This interesting chat was discovered by Maroon Fire from the Poptropica Help Chat! There’s five topics to choose to go to: Vacation Spots, Raising Teens, Keeping Your Family Happy, Mental Health, and TV Influences. If you go into each room, you find a multi-colored room with the name of the topic in the sign!

To chat, there must be another person in the room with you. Click on the person and click the button marked chat. They you get to type in anything. Yes, I said anything! You can spam! You can swear, though it’s not advised. 😉 The catches are that you can’t use your own Poptropica character to get into the room and the characters are girls. 😐

Obiwan2324 had a theory that the chat room was for moms to talk. 😛 It makes sense though. Check out this chat at: http://www.poptropica.com/chat !

See you guys later! 😀

BOOM!

Sneak Peeks

Hmm… Jurassic Park, anyone?

Who knows what the Creators are up to…

Top down, in more ways than one

We’ve got a sneak peek at some more development work being done on the newest Poptropica Island.

It’s a top down view, and it looks like that SUV has its top down, too! What do you suppose is happening here?

HADES

0.o Is the rex gonna eat us? If so, WE’RE DOOMED. If not, we spare no expense. 😉 But still. Very suspicious…

Aside from action movie islands, do you think there will be HORROR islands too? Vote in the poll which horror might turn out as an island. *grabs knife* Well…you creators are awesome!

P.S. There’s something disturbing about the title of the Creators’ blog post.

Steamworks Island, Store

I, ROBOT

August 31, 2010August 31, 2010 Green Boa

Robot Mix and Matcher 10,001 has hit the poptopica store! BUYZ IT NOW! ITZ AWESUM!!! Ok, that was a lie, you don’t need to blow your credits on a rusty old piece of junk like that. 😐 Because all you need is to buy the Robo suits and mix them as you please! 🙂

Spare parts

Master Mime has told you about the Steam Robot on the loose in Poptropica. Don’t forget about the other robot Costumes you can get in the Poptropica store.

The Retro Robot sports sleek wings and big yellow eyes.

The Renegade Robot makes his own rules.

Don’t forget, with the power of the Costumizer, you can mix and match costumes from the Poptropica Store!

I call this the “Retrograde Robot.”

“Steamgrade Robot.”

You don’t even have to combine similar costume parts for a cool new outfit. Here’s a Mech Pilot head on a Renegade Robot body.

This is the, er… “Renemech Pilograde Robot?” We’ll work on that one.

You can use multiple powers at once, too!

What crazy costume combinations can you come up with?

VLAD THE VIKING

Ooooooh! SHINY! As you can see, Vlad wants to leave his ignorant age of viking ships and axes and needing silly amulets to go sailing and sail to the far distant future, Roboworld. Nanobots, Holoports, supercomputers, geocra- wait a minute! if Vlad has no computer, how can he post? OMBR Vlad has been an imposter all this time! OH NOEZ we must fire him! D8< Jail him! And then… OK, I’m not that violent. 🙄

Anyway, my favourite combination is the Retrograde robot. These aren’t really updates, but who cares? *shrug*

Hey, what’s that thing over there?!

*runs and hides while everyone is looking*

House party

This week, we’ve shown you four different sketches of mansions. But only one will be able to make it into a new Poptropica Island. It’s so hard to decide which it should be. Let’s take another look:

Mansion 1

Mansion 2

Mansion 3

Mansion 4

Decisions, decisions…
