There comes a time in every Poptropican’s life that a special kind of challenge faces them. Tyranny may try to rule, but it is our sacred duty to protect the world no matter the cost.

Reign of Omegon, PoptropiCon’s epic final chapter is now available for members! The guide for this episode isn’t avaliable yet, but stay tuned for it coming soon! In the meantime, if you’re having trouble with the previous two episodes, check out our PopCon guide here! (Reign of Omegon’s guide will be there too when it’s complete!) 

Non-members, the prediction according to Poptropica is that Reign of Omegon will release for all April 19th. Think of it as more time to prepare your battle gear. 😉

As for members, go ahead and join the resistance! A hero is needed! And after your done, don’t forget to see your ranking on the world champion map!

BT out, and have fun! 🙂

Advertisements, Mocktropica Island

Mega Fighting Squirrels ?

What’s up guys? While cruising through Night Watch Island, I found a new advertisement building for the upcoming movie The Nut Job. You can also find the building on some other islands including Back Lot, Virus Hunter, and Mocktropica.

Once you enter the building talk to the grey squirrel, Surly, standing beside the door. He will tell you that he has a new sure fire plan to get the nuts. Your instructions are to use a nut catapult to shoot the nuts over to Surly the squirrel. This can get really tricky, but do your best to launch the nuts while the catapult is just perfectly in the green area of the base.

Once you launch ten nuts into the bag you win! You receive two prizes, the Surly Power and the Pistachio Costume!

NutsPrizes

The Surly Power shows a little cut screen of Surly dropping down to steal a nut on ropes and pulleys Mission: Impossible style! The Pistachio Costume is just what it looks like, a big Pistachio that you can walk around in all day PSY style.

Lastly, there is a new piece of news on the PCB. They realize that we may have seen through their little Mega Fighting Bot ruse pretty quickly, but that doesn’t mean that they love those little bots any less! You can now find some Mega Fighting Bots extras on the Mocktropica Info page, their very own wallpaper and poster! You can find the wallpaper here and the printable poster here.

They also promised that the Mega Fighting Bots themed Members Only Bonus Quest is coming soon, so stay on the look out for a new bonus quest featuring some fighting robots!

Daily Pop, Zomberry Island

Warning: Zombie Invasion in T-Minus 5 Days

Hey, you’re going to need some protection from the zombies, Jack.

There are only five days left until Zomberry Island is available to all, so tell me, what do you think is going to help you get through the apocalypse? (Even if it isn’t actually necessary…)

One week left to get your ZMB Unit costume!

We’re kicking the new year off right when we launch Zomberry Island for everyone next Thursday, January 10. But you know what that means: the exclusive, Members-only “ZMB Unit” costume will also be coming out of the store on that date!

If you’re already a Poptropica Member, make sure you grab the ZMB Unit costume before it’s gone. If you’re not a Member, get Membership today so that you can get all the great Members-only gear, and play Zomberry Island before the general public!

BLACK WIDOW

So, are you going to wait and play with the “general public” or be a ZMB Member and play now?

In other news, there is an interesting new Daily Pop post that caught my attention.

FatTuesday

The caption reads “Mardi Gras: These folks are ready for Fat Tuesday”.

Mardi Gras is coming up on Tuesday, February 12 here in the United States, what are the creators planning with these fancy costumes? Could it be related to the new Mall Island which could or couldn’t have something to do with Monster Carnival?

Good news – RTV. Bad news – Membership.

Why hello there, fans of Poptropica! Neat Whale posting about one of the best–and worst–things that have ever happened on Poptropica… And yes, the worst part IS the worst thing that ever happened. Don’t deny it when I tell you… now, today the PHB got an e-mail from the Creators, announcing this:

Our newest island, Reality TV Island, premieres on Poptropica on Wednesday, February 24!

Join the quest to star in a reality television show and compete with other television-obsessed contestants to win a spot on the hit TV show Reality Island.

-The Poptropica Creators

Play next WEDNESDAY—For Members Only!

Early island access is available exclusively with Poptropica membership. Be among the first to compete for fame on Reality TV Island—become a member today!

Please note: Early access to islands is now only available with membership, and cannot be purchased with credits. Reality TV Island will be open to all on March 24, 2010.

Can’t you see why I’m really mad at the Creators now? I mean, seriously… ONE MONTH LATER?! Ridonkulous! (That means ridiculous to a very, very high level.) Again, if you don’t mind, can we throw an angry mod here? Please? Please? No? Aw, c’mon, you guys are no fun… can’t we at least just kill the Creators? Seriously, yeah, you guys ARE no fun… -_-

Anyway, GAH!! OMIGAWD!!! RTV, PEOPLE!!! The fame! The TV! The Hippie Men! The pop singer girls with nasty attitudes! But mostly, the Island we’ve been waiting for for… uh… let’s see now… erg… testing. Testing. Testing. Tesssssting! TESTING. **Excuse me, NW is busy trying to figure out when the hev the Creators said they were going to make RTV. Please enjoy this snazzy ringtone while you wait.** AHA SEPTEMBER 24, 2008! Jeez Creators, that was totally annoying… Don’t do this on the next Island, will yah? XD At least it’s gonna be out now though… wooohooo! Oh, and yeah… Guess that means your Hippie Man will be ready in a week, Smockers. 🙂

Well, I guess there’s nothing left to say, so I’m just gonna say bye to you guys… later, peeps!

THE SACRED MIDAS TOUCH!

Have you ever wanted to channel King Midas’ famous power — turning everything into GOLD?

Of course! It's my biggest dream to have that power albeit the detrimental side effects that would render me uncapable of communicating as I couldn't touch anything or anybody!

You do?  Well, that works out handsomely, because you can just waddle into the Poptropica Store right now, and pick up your very own Midas Touch for the low price of 250 credits. Of course, if you’re wise like myself, you can get it for absolutely FREE!*

*membership required

Speaking of Poptropican membership, here’s a video of me testing it out:

Pretty sweet, eh?  After you’ve seen this video, does your opinion change about membership in Poptropica at all? Do you find yourself on the verge of insanity unless you get your membership? Or, are you not impressed, thinking that you could spend your money on something more useful?  Let us know in the comments! ^_^

I know this doesn’t have much to do with Poptropica, but I would appreciate it if you guys took the time to vote in the Best Virtual World for Kids poll on About.com.

http://familyinternet.about.com/od/resources/ss/readerschoice10-voting_4.htm

Shamefully, Poptropica isn’t on there, but another great virtual world, The Travels of Wiglington & Wenks, is!  Hijuyo, Coderkid, and I all have accounts on there… so it’s bound to be good, right? 😀 I urge you guys to check it out for yourself (CLICK HERE! You know you want to move your cursor over here. ;D) and to vote for it!  We’re in 2nd place right now only bested by… *thunder crashes* WEBKINZ WORLD! UGH (no offense to Webkinz World players)! Of course, I don’t want to force you to vote for The Travels of Wiglington & Wenks; make your best judgment on what virtual world you want to pick (hint: The Travels of Wiglington & Wenks ;)).

Thanks again, everybody!
