Poptropican’s 911: Issue #6

Slanted Fish

Update: The Haunted House has been removed from Poptropica’s Map, but you can buy it from the Poptropica Store for FREE! Thanks for the news update, Incredible Fish.

The November edition of our blog’s monthly Poptropican’s 911 newsletter is here! A must-read for all Poptropican fans; click the link below to get started!

Read Issue #6, if you dare…

We have also changed our ‘Poptropica Poll’ widget, which you can find on the right side. The current question reads, ”Did you pay any real money for Poptropica merchandise?”

October 2009’s question was, ”Is your Poptropican all dressed up for Halloween?” The results came in as:

Option | Votes | Percentage
Yes, and my costume is so scary, you’d probably faint just at the sight of it! | 1,049 | 46%
I haven’t yet, but I’m preparing for a spooky surprise! | 846 | 37%
No, I don’t celebrate Halloween. | 226 | 10%
Halloween?! What’s the point of that? | 143 | 6%

Hope you’ll enjoy reading our 911 this month, and maybe even be inspired to submit your own entries! Congratulations to everyone who entered something for the 911, whether it made it or not.

For all you hardcore electronic gadget users out there, you’ll be pleased to know that Poptropica has teamed up with SkinIt.com! (Thanks for the news update, Pufflemon.)

Skinit sells decorative skins for all kinds of devices, like laptops, cell phones, music players, and lots more. Did I mention calculators, too? 😛

🙂 Buy ’em now! 🙂

At $14.95 US dollars each, they may seem a little expensive, but it may be well worth it to show off your love for Poptropica! On the left image below is a laptop with its cover decorated with the awesome Shark Tooth Island scene, and over on the right side is a display of an iPod with Ned Noodlehead’s Super Power Island comic shop!

 And here’s a young Aztec warrior on the Time Tangled Island skin:

Remember, buying merchandise products from Poptropica is going to help keep the game running! 🙂

The Multiverse Project, an Ad, and new Store items!

coderkid

I’m posting from my “Coderkid” account instead.

(Motionman95 has changed his WordPress account to ”Coderkid”. They’re the same person.) 😀

First of all, hello again Poptropicans! (Man, I really new to come up with better introductions for my posts… :/)

Anyway, there are 2 new developments in Poptropica:

  • New “Ice Age 3” Ads on the side of Poptropica
  • New Store items “Silly String”, “Followers: Spook Pack”, Werewolves, Creepy Countess, and Swamp Monster costumes!

Silly String, is basically a canister (like on the fire fighter costume) that sprays..well, silly string, duh! 🙂 It’s very useful for PWNing people in Multiverse rooms! 😆

The “Followers: Spook Pack” is basically a different version of the original, including pets such as a ghost, pumpkin, skull, and bat. I think it’ll probably be a “limited time” item. Meanwhile, the other Follower item has been renamed to ”Followers: Classic Pack.”

The new costumes, Swamp Monster and Werewolf Boy, are both scary. Swamp Monster is basically a fishy looking dude, whereas Werewolf Boy is doggy dude, with killer teeth. “Good boy” – I think not. 😆 Only girls get access to the Werewolf Girl and Creepy Countess costumes.

I have the Silly String, and I must say it compliments my outfit! 😛
Take a look, and tell me what you think: Clickey! I’m not sure myself, but I think I was aiming for a “tagger” type theme.

Here’s a picture from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog showing off the ‘frightening’ new items! Let us let the fun begin at the Ghoul’s Gala at the Haunted House! Throw the colorful streamers at the evil monsters and get your little floating skull friend to follow ya. 😛

And in other developments, The Multiverse Project has been released! With this awesome online tool, you’ll be able to submit your Multiverse room codes or view a list of currently open ones. Find your favorite hangout spot and rock out with friends!

Can you believe it? After all this time…it’s finally here. Be the first to try it out.

Enter The Multiverse Project.

I’d love your feedback on it! Don’t forget to look at the post below and read about the Ice Age Ad quest!

New Ad: Ice Age 3: Dawn of the Dinosaurs!

motionman95

Hello Poptropicans! Following some sad developments of this week (the resignation of Golden Eagle), it’s once again time to announce yet another Poptropica update. Recently, a new ad has appeared on Main Street of Early Poptropica, “Ice Age 3: Dawn of The Dinosaurs”. I myself saw the movie, and I thought it was pretty funny, at least at some parts. But moving on. I made a quick video to show you the ad – you can find it below. In this ad, your goal is to collect all the acorns for Scratte, Scrat’s female companion.

Before entering the ad, you’ll notice that the woman outside has horrible grammar. I’m sure most of you will easily spot it. 😉

Please excuse the laggyness of the video!

I’d also like to mention that the PHF now has a blog (no worries, it’s not a Poptropica one) that I plan to use to post about updates to the various projects I’m working on. =D

You can find it here: http://blog.thephf.com/

Feel free to drop a comment anytime. 🙂

Resignation Note of GE

Golden Eagle

Hey guys. It’s GE.

I’d just like to let you know that I’m resigning from the PHB, PHF, and PTB (Poptropical Thunder’s Blog), and Poptropica altogether. I’ve lost interest in it all, and its just become a distraction. I’m also joining track, which I’m really looking forward to. I’ve lost touch with my real life friends over the summer, too.

I’ve already made up my mind, guys. I’m sorry, but nothing will change that.

I’d like to thank all of you for making it a great time while I was here. But I have some special thanks to give out.

First, I’d like to thank Hijuyo, for letting me join this great blog.

I’d like to thank Poptropical Thunder, who was a great friend, and let me join her blog, the first one I ever worked on.

I’d also like to thank Silent Witness/ The Boot, who’s stories thoroughly entertained me, and always was there for me to talk to, even when I bet I was annoying.

I’d also like to give a big thanks to Cool Wing, who was the first great friend I made on here, and we always had a good time being silly and hyper.

Last but not least, I’d like to thank Neat Whale, who forgave me when I was the jerkiest of jerkwads, and the worst of friends. Thanks again, NW.

I might comment once in a while; I might check by and see how its going.

I’m staying on for the rest of the day and then I’m gone.

GE out.
