Vlad’s Sleepy Friend and Poptropica Links is Open!

Slanted Fish

Who’s that drinking their soda? It looks like… Vlad the Viking and Sleepy Whale!

Congratulations to Sleepy Whale on being featured for Snapshot Sagas! Thanks for this news, Mousyblack. It looks like Vlad has another big tale, too:

Soaring among the clouds was amazing! The friendly pilot from Nabooti was kind enough to aid me in my search for more Poptropicans to photograph, and we took to the skies. The noisy contraption, called an “airplane”, took us swiftly through the air, and for the first time I was silent with awe. My bliss did not last long, however, as the pilot shouted for me to put on a pack containing a “parachute”. I didn’t hesitate to don this parachute once the flying machine started making sickly sputtering noises while it sped toward the earth. I jumped and pulled the parachute’s rope.

Landing on the clouds, I came across a purple giant with a golden egg. I found my way to the ground by following directions given to me by the giant, and was overcome with a terrible thirst!

“The Soda Pop Shop is the best place on Early Poptropica to find a soda!” A friendly Poptropican informed me.

I was soon sipping a soda and chatting with a talkative fellow named Sleepy Whale. We spoke of the weather and of all things ice cream. It came time for me to go, but before I left I took a photo of my new friend! Thanks Sleepy Whale!

Remember to keep your eyes peeled, you may be the next one featured on Snapshot Sagas!

Poptropica Membership? / Sneak Peak

Codien

Membership?
While searching the Internet for Poptropica. I came across a page from the creators of Potropica, Pearson Education, with some interesting information.
The page was talking all about whats good about Poptropica. But we all know that 😛
It gave opinions from children who play, the knowledge you learn but it was only near the bottom of the page that my eyes opened wide.
This is what it said:

In early 2009, Poptropica will begin to charge for premium services – early access to new islands, for example.  This will provide an additional revenue source while keeping the core of the site free, assuring that Poptropica will publish to even more kids while also strengthening its brand and licensing value.

But what does this mean. Obviously we will still be able to do everything as a free player, but what don’t we get, not being a member.
Members getting access to islands first. Maybe this will come out before Big Nate comes out.
In my opinion i dont like the idea of Poptropica getting memberships. But sometimes games have to do this.
Ill get the membership if it comes out though :D.

Whats your opinion?

Sneak Peak Hotel
Today Poptropica posted another sneak peak. We don’t know what its of but it might be either Reality TV Island, a new island or the French Themed one. Thank you Shiny Leaf for telling us. This Sneak Peak was posted on the Poptropica Creator’s Blog:

Blog Post Title: Checking In
Description: This looks like a nice place to stay. Hopefully the rooms are as nice as the lobby.

By what the picture can show us it that its seems to be a Hotel. Maybe a rich Hotel because of the marble columns. This is why it could be from the French Themed Island.

What do you think?

If your into Pirates, or Pink Panthers, or maybe even cool movies. Check out all the other posts. Theres been some good ones.

PHB Sneak Peaks: Pirates Have Landed

Codien

[-CLASSIFIED-]
[POPTROPICA HELP BLOG ONLY!]

Welcome to the new posts of Poptropica Help Blog Sneak Peaks. On these new posts there will be Sneak Peaks that only we have. And only we post them. These sneak peaks are classified and are very secret.
So to kick off PHB Sneak Peaks we would like to present our first: “Pirates Have Landed.”

-Pirates Have Landed-
I’m only joking pirates haven’t landed on Poptropica…Yet.

On January 26,  Codien was slowly having a nice walk through the jungles of Shark Tooth Island. The sun was high in the air and its rays were pouring through the leaves burning his skin.  He’d been out for ages in the jungle searching for old treasures. Finding old pots, Artifacts and sculptures from lost Poptropicans of the past.  It was near the end of the day and he was about to head home when he found an old photo under a Shark statue. Looking at the old and crumpled photo he realised it was very old. It was only when he looked closer that he discovered something even more amazing:

Old Picture of Pirates

In the picture were three Poptropicans. They were wearing old shabby clothing and carried swords. Codien had never seen such strange clothing. The only thing that they could be were…Pirates.
But how on earth had Pirates gotten to Poptropica and will they ever return?
What do you think?

If your wondering how I found the “Picture”, I actually made it. But the costumes are all real. They were labeled ‘FL Pirate’.

Latest Update –  Fruity Golden Bars
Fruity Golden Bars
We think we know what the pirates are. We have just got information that Froot Loops has a new ad that involves Pirates. This would make sense because of the FL= Froot Loops. This would mean that it would be an advertisement/mission they will be bringing out. Like the Pink Panther 2.
The ad is advertising Froot Loops new cereal ‘Froot Loops: Fruity Golden Bars’. The new ad is called Treasure Island and is about the birds finding Froot Loop treasure. You can play games and find out more information on there site, here.
Thank you Graham for this information.

Well I’ve got some more Sneak Peaks in the future for you guys that only Poptropica Help Blog will get. I will post another Sneak Peak in 3 days.

Tata.

 Also, Speedy Speck sure was speedy today and managed to pop 7 balloons in a game of Paint War before Shark Boy did! This was Shark Boy’s story:

I was visiting the Fly-By-Night Airlines and had some great battles against Speedy Speck. We were really close on all of the battle games, but in the end she beat me at Paint War. Thanks Speedy Speck, that was fun!

Keep an eye out for the sneaky Shark Boy – you never know when he may turn up! 😉

Remember to look at all the other posts. There’s heaps of stuff happening all around us!

Another Big Nate Comic and Pink Panther 2 Mission!

Smockers

Hello all; Smockers here! It’s been quite a long time since I have posted (my last post was on New Years Day, in fact)! I was very busy with school stuff, but enough about me. To start, we get a new comic from the PCB! Hopefully, Big Nate Island will be released soon. Anyways, comic below (go to the Poptopica Creators’ Blog to view it full size!):

bignate_detention1

Thanks to Shiny Leaf for the above and below news! What could be under this text? Why, a Pink Panther 2 mission, of course! That’s right; on Spy Island, you can find this building:

pinkpanther2

When you go inside, you will be present with a mission to find the stolen Pink Painter. You have an inventory at the bottom of the screen. You will receive and find items that will ultimately let you find out who the criminal is. I don’t want to spoil it for people who want to just solve it by themselves; click on the “m0re…” button below if you want to see a walk-through. 🙂 Continue reading “Another Big Nate Comic and Pink Panther 2 Mission!” →

Vlad Survives a Storm

Snapshot Sagas: Giant Brain

Today Poptropica Creator Vlad the Viking has met up with yet another Poptropican. This time it was Giant Brain who ecountered the strange viking on Nabooti Island. Thanks Neat Whale for this information. Vlad promises to visit Poptropica and take pictures of some players and feature them on the Creators’ Blog – and he calls it ‘Snapshot Sagas’. This is his story:

The storm hit when I was about 5 hours at sea, sailing from Shark Tooth Island. I thought I was done for, and worse, I was sad that my camera’s battery ran out when I attempted to take a photo of the huge wave that almost swallowed my small coconut tree raft! After the storm, I drifted for what seemed like ages until I finally fell asleep from exhaustion. When I awoke, I found myself on the shore of a strange and wonderful land.

Venturing around, I soon found myself in the Village of Nabooti, where I was able to charge up my camera (luckily it still works) and search for another unique and friendly Poptropican to feature in Snapshot Sagas! In Fly By Night Airlines I ran into Giant Brain. He was a fairly sociable lad, and was kind enough to let me take a photo of him before he hopped off to chat with his other Poptropican friends. Thanks Giant Brain!

Congratulations Giant Brain on being featured on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog!
And to everyone else out there – watch out for Vlad’s camera, who knows when you may meet him on Poptropica!

Codiens Opinion on Crediting:
I believe that crediting is great. Everyone is helping us get the latest knowledge. But i don’t think we should have to say thanks to the first person who says it. Because not only is it that person who helped out but theres lots of people that are continuously trying to be the first to say theres a new post. I love it that you  guys really want to help us but, is not that hard for us to just check for ourselves.
That’s just my opinion.
