The Mechanical Flu Outbreak!

robotflu

Large outbreaks of a new flu, only recently discovered have been spreading everywhere over Poptropica. The new flu known as Mechanical Fever, Two Face Plague, Robot Monster and The Terminator Germ was only just recently discovered on a newly found island by the name of Astro-Knights Island. Certain cases of the flu were found on multiple Poptropicans on the island and was spreading fast. 

It is suspected that a certain type of mechanical owl found on Astro-Knights is the cause for this plague. These robots have been known to fly near areas containing traces of hay, so it is recommended that you stay away from such places until the coast is clear.

Yesterday all access routes to and from the island were closed off to try and isolate the outbreak. Although i must mention that no such access has been given to Poptropicans as of yet to be able to get to the Island. The island was to be opened in early fall as a holiday destination for any Poptropicans wishing to take a break. But this holidays destinations opening seems will be delayed due to this rare flu.

Not long after highly qualified scientists from Super-Power island (these scientists were recently studying the mysterious powers given to escaped convicts when a radio-active asteroid hit the cell) were sent in to study the cases and find a cure. Authorities on the case were sure that they had kept the problem isolated and main islanders of Poptropica did not have to worry about catching the flu.  This is what the chief constable of Super Power island had to say about the matter;
“Do not panic. While this rare case of the flu could potentially be deadly, and there is no cure as of yet. We have hard working scientist on the case for that. The Poptropicans with the flu have been isolated on the island and we a sure the threat will not reach your waters. Thank-you.”

Unfortunately latter that day an urgent call from a scientist on Astro-Knights island informed the head of Police that an seriously infected Poptropican (the poptropican even had his eye turned to metal) had escaped from isolation and was making his way over to The main island via a blimp.

He managed to get off the island by putting the guards to sleep by doing a dance. Not long after the report came in that he had fled the island bystanders on the Main Poptropican island state they saw a half robotic poptropican, with strange yellow and purple clothing float down in a parachute and land on the outskirts of Early Poptropica island.

We recently found out that the first suspect to come into to contact with Binary Bard and catch the flu was White Foot. In under 24 hours after his landing, large cases of mechanic skin rashes have been appearing all over the island. All we have to say is stay indoors. Do NOT go into multiplayer rooms. You can only obtain the flu by touching someone in the Multiplayer Rooms.  Look out for people with strange metal like parts on there face.

There have been no cases of the flu spreading onto different islands yet. But it wont be long till it does.
I hope this doesn’t get as serious as the swine flu (H1N1)!

This report could not of been done without the help of Cool Wing. She was the first to tell me that there was a new flu going round. She is such a brave kid, she even had the flu when she informed me. Poor kid.

For any of you fearing that AK Island will not come out because of this you are more then likely wrong. Somebody, most likely White Foot, copied the face when Binary Bard came to visit Cap’n Salty’s multiplayer room on Big Nate Island, Poptropica. I’m sure the creators do not mind that everybody has it. Its pretty cool.

Go out into multiplayer rooms and see if you can find it!
Have fun.

Astro-Knights Island, Sneak Peeks

Astro-Knights Island Gets a Name!

To all island-loving Poptropicans out there:
Breaking News!

The mysterious “Mechanical/Medieval” island has a name now – Astro-Knights Island! Thanks Legodude12 for this piece of exciting information. According to the Poptropica Creators, this island is expected to be released this spring!

Astro-Knights

The cool banner above can also be found on the homepage of Poptropica.com. If you click on it, it’ll bring you to a page where it tells you all about the quest plot for the upcoming Astro-Knights Island! Here’s what it says:

Astro_Knights Island Coming Soon!

ASTRO-KNIGHTS
Launch thyself into a new adventure on Poptropica! The fair princess King and Queen hath been kidnapped and taken to the far reaches of space. Thou must assemble a space vessel and fly among the stars on an inter-galactic quest to rescue her.

Taken from http://www.poptropica.com/astro_island.html.
If you were wondering why “the fair princess” is crossed out, it’s because Poptropica changed the description to “King and Queen”. Thanks Penguin Girl!

Now does that sound cool or what. We’re so excited. Look at all the places. You can see the ‘Mechanical Jungle’ there, and there’s the Spaceship. We assume we will be flying the spacecraft, like the plane in Nabooti, to different regions in space to collect items. The different regions will be like a Fire Place, Snowy Mountain Place, that mysterious Jungle.
Looks like we’ll be taking a long ride through space to rescue the royal couple! Awesome! :mrgreen:

But what does that mean for Reality TV Island? They started making that island ages ago.

Tomorrow Codien will be posting another ‘PHB Sneak Peak’. It will have some more info on the FL Pirates and also some new stuff coming out. He has promised to get some sneak peaks of the costumes from the latest island Astro-Knights.
STAY TUNED…remember it’s ‘CLASSIFIED!’

Astro-Knights Island, Sneak Peeks

For all your rocket needs…

Yay – another sneak peek! Thanks, Neat Whale for the reminder. This time it seems to be showing the mysterious Mechanical/Medieval island again. From the looks of it, it seems to be a repair shop (or something along those lines) for mechanical equipment, like rockets! The rocket in the sneak peek looks very similar to this previous post of a spacecraft from the Creators: could it be related? Anyway, here’s the blog picture:

Description: So where do you go when the nueroplasmic space calibrator breaks down on your VXS-4001 LX spacecraft?

Based on the description, it seems that part of your rocket, called the “nueroplasmic space calibrator” is going to break down, and you might need to go to AstroZone to fix your spacecraft model VXS-4001!

Also, the flying cheat code (Ctrl + Shift + F5) has been fixed by the Poptropica Creators. Sadly, that means we can’t use it anymore. 😦

By the way, remember to check out these two other Poptropica sneak peeks below if you didn’t do so yet – The Old Captain (Big Nate) and France in Poptropica? (French?).

Astro-Knights Island, Sneak Peeks

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a… bird plane?

Yet another sneak peek of the announced Mechanical/Medieval Island! At least, that’s what I think it’s of. Anyways, depicted in the sneak peek is some sort of majestic, robotic, flaming, missile-firing bird. Looks pretty sleek! I’d like to see this bird in action! Maybe you have to fight it like you did with the villains on Super Power Island. Perhaps it could be like fighting Betty Jetty. Anyways, the blog picture is below:

Again, this sneak peek is kind of going on the theme of mechanical and medieval.

Mechanical = Robot Bird, Missles

Medieval = If you look at the picture carefully, you can kind of see what I mean by when I say it looks medieval.

Don’t forget to check out the post below about the mysterious Mancala coming to Poptropica soon! 😀 There’s also a new Games page: https://poptropica.wordpress.com/games/.

Also, I know for some of you, Thanksgiving is coming soon! The Poptropica Help Blog hopes you all have a happy and joyful Thanksgiving! I for one know that I’m thankful for the guy who invented the Internet because if he wasn’t here, this blog wouldn’t even exist!

Astro-Knights Island, Sneak Peeks

Would you rather ride a spacecraft or go on Trix’s roller coaster?

There’s a new sneak peek on the Creators’ Blog! The information:

Blog Post Title: Spacecraft
Description: Have you ever dreamed of designing your own spacecraft?

Thanks to Friendly Club for telling us! Here it is:

I wonder which island this is going to be in. It seems there is a mechanical theme going on! Could this be related to this sneak peek, or maybe this one? Also, the description hints that we may be designing our own spacecraft in whatever island this is going to be on. This is one big mystery! I wonder what the spacecraft will do? We’ll have to wait and see! 😉

There’s also a Trix advertisement in between places. Thanks again Friendly Club for the information!

That’s all for now – and let’s hope Nabooti Island will come out real soon! 😀
