The helmet’s lights will light up when you press the space bar. This is what the astronaut looks like when the lights are off (see left Poptropican)…

Blog Post Title: Summer Store Fun!
Description: We will be releasing new store items every week during the summer!
For this week we’ve added two new items: Multiverse and a new Astronaut outfit.
As many of you know the Creators visted some or your Multiverse rooms. It was really cool chatting and battling with many of you, but sadly a few of you totally destroyed us at some of the games…Ouch!

Check out the post below to learn more about the Multiverse, a new dimension of Poptropica. Once again, I visited some more Multiverse rooms from PHB and PHF users! In Graham’s (Spotted Bubbles’s) Enchanted Forest room, I met Spotted Bubbles (Graham), and Curious Fang (known asย Trusty Hawk on PHB). Graham left after awhile, but Curious Fang and I were still chatting with eachother when Dr. Hare, a Poptropica Creator, showed up!

Dr. Hare is the first Creator I’ve met so far, and I’m hoping to meet the rest soon enough! Hare has a 4-star battle ranking, and according to Curious Fang (who was dressed up in Binary Bard’s jester outfit but carrying a sword), Dr. Hare beat her in Soupwords and Paint War (but she beat him in Sudoku twice!). When I tried to Costumize him, it turned out only his teethย (with the big tooth sticking out) could be copied.We also chatted with the Creator, and he in turn asked us some questions. After some time, Dr. Hare Curious Fang had to leave.

Soon, however, someone else came in. I got to meet Green Seal (known as Sparkle Star on PHB and on her Poptropica Updates Blog!), and we had fun chatting and playing games like Paint War, which she won. Congratulations! When we met, Green Seal was wearing her pink Electrify, which you can recognize in the photos I compiled from my Enchanted Forest Multiverse adventure here:

Met Dr. Hare

I also met some other guys from the PHF chatroom in some Crystal Cavern Multiverses. (One of the pics below shows Graham, Curious Fang, and I inย his Enchanted Forest, which I mentioned above.) Yesterday, I saw Zany Glove, Lucky Spider (MonkeyTacoz), Squeezy Monster (and his clone, Skinny Chicken). Maroon Fly, another one of Monkey’s accounts, also joined in later, and so did a jovial fellow named Happy Spider. (I also found out that Invisible Bean, who I mentioned in the post below, was also another one of Taco’s accounts!)

Today I met Shoeless Runner, Silly Owl (known as Incredible Fish), Short Sun (or Technonerd), Shy Turtle (”Anti SG”), and a few others at Incredible Fish’s Multiverse. Maroon Fly wandered in again, this time dressed as Pinocchio. We later all met up at the top floor to take a jumping snapshot – speaking of which, did you know there’s a glitch up there which lets you jump up and down nonstop? Try it!

Multiverse Crystal Cavern

Update: A few hours later, I met some more PHB readers in Skinny Snowball’s Enchanted Forest room! Congratulations to Speedy Hawk (who also tried to Costumize me!), Moody Wolf, Young Skunk, Trusty Bubbles, Green Sword (known as Bashful Octo on the PHB), Zany Thunder (also known as Poptropicalthunder), Dangerous Shark (accidentally got covered in the first picture, but I left some space for you on the side!), Friendly Hopper, Skinny Snowball (owner of this Multiverse room), and Nice Turtle! Here’s everyone I saw gathered at the cool room:

Also, the bottom part of the Poptropica.com homepage has gotten a makeover! Thanks for the news, Lazy Feather. And apparently, Reality TV Island is missing from the game’s map now! Some think that the island is being abandoned like Monster Carnival Island was, and others think it means that RTV is close to completion, which would mean that this is temporary. We still don’t know for sure what’s up, but we all hope for the second option!

But part of the homepage update shows that instead of the RTV hippie asking you to sign up to be informed of TV Island’s release, it just says ”next Poptropica island”, and the picture has changed to an envelope. It looks like the Creators are ignoring the existence of Reality TV Island, which had been set to come out in summer 2009. What do you think is going on?

RTV Missing, Homepage Update

There has recently been a rumor about the caterpillar on Shark Tooth Island being gone. (For those who have completed the island’s quest, you’ll know what ‘caterpillar’ I’m talking about.) This caterpillar was formerly on one of the statues in the Temple Dungeon, and if you bumped into it, it would knock you over.

We can now confirm that this obstacle has been removed from the game, making it much easier to finishย the island. Our Shark Tooth Guide has been updated to suit this change.

You may have noticed a change in one of our Poptropica Help Blog sidebar widgets. The ”Recent Comments” section has been updated, and now it will show the Wavatar of the commenter. We’re hoping that this feature will make it easier to recognize the person, since you might often remember a blog commenter by their picture. A Wavatar is the WordPress avatar of a commenter here, and it is usually randomly generated.

In other news: The competition for Grumpy Wolf’s Poptropica account will be hosted soon. More details will soon follow. By the way, we might be making a Multiverse room for the PHB!

The New Dimension

The latest and one of the greatest updates is the new Multiverse item.

What is the Multiverse. The Multiverse is an item card that lets you create your own Multiplayer room where you can invite friends to join by sending them a specialย 5 letter code.The Multiverse card can beย purchased from the Poptropica Store for 350 credits.

This is a preview of how you access rooms with codes. ^The code is just a sample.

If you buy a multiverse card you will be able choose from many different themes for your room.
Big Brain Factory, Enchanted Forest, Techno Room, Sweet Tooth, Crystal Cavern.

Also there have been many reports of Creators such as Dr. Hare, Vlad the Viking, Binary Bard and Shark Boy roaming the new rooms. How awesome! Except we can’t customize any of the clothing but i would love to see one of them.

Keep in mind that the codes do not ”expire”. When the owner of a Multiverse room leaves his or her room, the room is no longer available to others until the owner returns to it.

I’ve been thinking and maybe The PHB can have a party in its own room.ย  We could try get the creators to join.

So without futher adiue,

Creators. If you are viewing this post we would like to invite you to one of our rooms or your rooms to party and play games. I’d love to take some pics with you guys.

*Scary Tomato takes over the second half of the post*

With the release of this awesome feature, I spent the day hanging out with many good friends from both the PHB and PHF! First, Codien (Massive Eel) and I visited Blue Bee in his Sweet Tooth room. We were also at the PHF chatroom at the same time, and Lazy Feather and MonkeyTacoz (Lucky Spider) invited us to a Techno Room. Lazy Feather tried to make his head look half Codien-like and half-ST (Scary Tomato)-like! We were going to make a group picture of everyone jumping, but it was too tricky to manage. After a while, we found Shy Turtle lurking in the room. He was, apparently, also known as the evil ”Anti SG”!

Super Grape (SG) soon joined in with us, where he found his ‘other self’, Anti SG. Anti SG stayed, and SG thought it was best to exit. We also met a friendly green-skinned guy by the name of Dizzy Catfish jumping here and there, making our eyes go dizzy. Creepy Kid and Invisible Bean dropped by (thanks for letting me Costumize your whiskers, Invisible Bean!).

After some time, we headed over to an enchanted forest, full of translucent glowing butterflies fluttering by. There we met a very fast-moving Poptropican carrying a sword and wearing a nice jacket, Speedy Ice. Everyone who was left grouped together for a photo on the top branch. Later on, we moved into yet another green Techno room where I met Incredible Fish. Take a look at the big picture below to see all I’ve gathered:

Hanging Out in ARU44

Hope you guys have fun meeting up with your buddies! We hope to see you around!
