Reality TV Island, Sneak Peeks

Not Boar-ing

Sparkle Star/Green Seal

Hey people!  Green Seal here. 😀 There’s a new post on the Poptropica Creator’s Blog, posted by Hazmat Hermit (Thanks for the update, PerfectStorm57!):

Getting Boar-ed?

As a hermit I try to avoid meeting people but sometimes it’s hard to find a place to be alone. When I reached this island in the middle of the ocean, I figured I was the only person around for miles. I soon realized this place is full of some of the craziest people I’ve ever seen! Why would anyone run around with a jar of water on their head? It seems dangerous, especially when there’s an angry boar out to get you. I’m going to monitor the situation and see what I can find out.

0_o That boar is.. uh, creepy-looking.  This post is probably a sneak peek of Reality TV.  That jar looks about the same size as that poptropican. 0_o How can she carry that?  Well, remember in the when they said you will be competing or something like that?  This race is probably one of the things you will compete in, and I have to say that I would not like to be chased by a boar with a jar the size of me. xD

By the way, news in the Poptropica Help Forums say that the PHF has been featured in TV!  Could this be true? 0_o Check this thread for more info: http://thephf.com/forums/showthread.php?518-OMG-the-PHF-was-on-TV!!!!!!

This is all for now! 😀

Counterfeit Island

Is Counterfeit Island… counterfeit?

Is Counterfeit Island… counterfeit? No, it’s now out to the public – for real, and now best of all, for FREE! But wait, it IS called Counterfeit for a reason…

The binary numbers translate to ”Beware the Black Widow!” That’s the only spoiler we’ll give here – but if you want more, check out Super De Struguri‘s CI guide by clicking here.
Here are some amazing snapshots from Counterfeit Island! Maybe you can pick up a clue or two from this:
Can you save the day in this crackling canvas caper?

Personally, we think the night-time part was one of the most thrilling and exciting moments. And the inter-island travel to Early Poptropica was awesome! =)

Good luck, and may the Force be with you! xD

Hopefully all of you were able to have a wonderful winter break – maybe you even took a relaxing vacation away from home! Before you start school again, be sure to…

^Yes! 2010’s first edition of the Poptropican’s 911 is out for your reading pleasure. Kick-start the new year with some never-before-seen Pop content! This is an issue you won’t want to miss!

Our ‘Poptropica Poll’ widget to the right side has been updated! The current question asks, ”How long have you been playing Poptropica?” (Well, how long? Tell us by submitting your vote!)

December 2009’s poll question read, ”What do you think of the upcoming Counterfeit Island?” Here are the results:

Sounds like it’ll be the best one yet! | 842 | 47%
It should be fun to play. | 532 | 29%
Interesting, but the Poptropica Creators might cancel it again… | 290 | 16%
BO-RING! | 47 | 3%
What’s Counterfeit Island? | 99 | 5%

Total votes: 1,810
(*To those who voted on the third options – your doubts proved wrong!) xD

My Poptropica Help
You may have noticed that we have several different Poptropica Help communities (blog, forums, chatroom, etc.) We have now gathered them on one main homepage (with our own domain!), which can be found at…

http://poptropicahelp.tk

MPH (short for My Poptropica Help; not miles per hour, silly xD) groups our many Poptropica Help sites at one spot so browsing the web can be easier for you. We’ve also listed official Poptropica links, which bring you to places like the Creators’ Blog.

Also included are Poptropica Help Tools such as The Multiverse Project or the Poptropica Help Toolbar. Best of all, little icons and short descriptions relating to each link are there to guide you in choosing which utility YOU would like to use!

After all, it is called My Poptropica Help. In fact, if MPH has really helped you, don’t forget to help spread the word with one of our banners! We hope each and every Poptropica link is a good one for you. :mrgreen:
