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!’

Poptropica Membership? / Sneak Peak

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.
