Yay! Good-bye 2008 and hello to 2009! Happy New Year from the Poptropica Help Blog! Hopefully, the new year will bring many new, exciting islands to venture on! And as always, we, the Poptropica Help Blog, will always provide up-to-date news and helpful guides! (In fact, we just added another game guide: Balloons! Check it out here: http:poptropica.wordpress.com/games/balloons/)
Happy New Year, everybody!

We also reached 300,000 hits! =O OMG! Thanks to everybody who visit our site! It’s only been, like, a month since our 200,000 hits mark! Woo! What a great way to start the new year of 2009! =D Once again, thanks so much, everybody!

Winter Wallpapers!

Smockers

Well, it looks like the Poptropica Creators’ Blog has released their 3rd wallpaper! This time around it is winter-themed!

Also, the poll on the Creators’ Blog asking you what your favorite island was is closed. Nabooti came 1st (with a whopping 75% of the vote!), Spy came 2nd, Super Power came 3rd, Time Tangled came 4th, Early Poptropica came 5th, 24 Carrot came 6th, and finally comes Shark Tooth with 7th.

New guides have came out for Hoops and Sky Dive! Please check them out!

Also, I know Christmas is tomorrow! We hope you all get great gifts and presents! I probably won’t have access to Internet because I’m going over to my cousin’s house to celebrate Christmas. So, I wish you all a merry Christmas in advance! =D

Whoops! Apparently, they added another wallpaper to their post after I made this blog post. Thanks Shaggy Tornado for letting me know!

By the way, they added a new poll asking you what you think is the best thing about the holidays. Having no school is so far leading. LOL!

And finally, we’ve also got a new poll:
Which Poptropica wallpaper do you think looks best on your desktop?

Some of you may remember the other 2 wallpapers the Poptropica Creators had also released earlier this year: the Shark Tooth Island one and the classic blue! We also had this poll when the Shark Tooth wallpaper was released, so you could say this is an “updated” version!

For those of you who like numbers, our previous poll, Who is your favorite Poptropica Creator?, had exactly 2,400 votes! Here’s the results:

They’re all cool!
1,133 47%
I don’t have a favorite…
361 15%
Director D.
208 9%
Shark Boy
196 8%
Comic Kid

Happy Holidays!

Smockers

If you missed it earlier, you are again able to get the Red and Green elf outfits! Along with that, you also get a special candy cane to hold in your hand! Sadly, no Blue elf outfit is present. =( This is on all islands, so dress up and show your holiday spirit! =D Picture below:

No matter what holiday you celebrate, be it Christmas, Hanukkah, New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year, Vietnamese New Year (me!), Ramadan, Kwanzaa, or some other holiday I can’t think of, the people at Poptropica Help Blog hope you have a WONDERFUL winter break and a GREAT holiday!

Two more game guides are now available on Poptropica Help Blog: Hoops and Sky Dive!

Also, we have hit the 250k and 260k hit mark! Yay! Special home-made sugar cookies for all of you! Yay! =D

Also… they added a reindeer outfit, too! Thanks for bringing it to my attention, Tall Horse! Picture below:

Also, we reached the 270k hit mark in between yesterday and today. o_o Cookies for everyone — and not the Internet kind! 😉

Big Nate Island, Comics, Sneak Peeks

Big Nate Island Video Sneak Peek and Comic!

Smockers

Yay, another sneak peek! IIRC, this is our second video sneak peek of Big Nate Island! It shows the main street of Big Nate Island. Apparently, Nate follows you around during your journey on Big Nate Island. Um.. stalker much? LOL! Anyways, enough words! Video below!

Also, we receive another funny comic of Big Nate courtesy of the Poptropica Creators’ Blog!

There’s a new advertisement in between places on most islands. It’s advertising a Speak Out on PBS Kids. Clicking on the top of this ad will bring you to this webpage: http://pbskids.org/speakout/. Here’s what it looks like:

There is also a new poll on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog! It asks you what your favorite island is so far. Presumably, Nabooti is winning by a landslide. And good reason, too; it’s a fun and challenging island!

Check out our Nabooti Island guide (made by the wonderful Codien) to learn how to complete it fast and easily! =) The Nabooti Map is now available for viewing!

Missing Items Have Returned!

Codien

The problem of the disappearing items has been solved. It was a bug in the game. This is what Poptropica had to say:

During the surge of traffic on Poptropica over the weekend, some of you had a problem with items disappearing from your inventory… so I sent my Giant Rabbot to squash this evil bug! Please check your inventory again.

For more information, see:

Also, if you want to see some more cool sneak peeks, check out the post below. 😉

Have fun guys.
