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.

PHB Sneak Peaks: Pirates Have Landed

[-CLASSIFIED-]
[POPTROPICA HELP BLOG ONLY!]

Welcome to the new posts of Poptropica Help Blog Sneak Peaks. On these new posts there will be Sneak Peaks that only we have. And only we post them. These sneak peaks are classified and are very secret.
So to kick off PHB Sneak Peaks we would like to present our first: “Pirates Have Landed.”

-Pirates Have Landed-
I’m only joking pirates haven’t landed on Poptropica…Yet.

On January 26,  Codien was slowly having a nice walk through the jungles of Shark Tooth Island. The sun was high in the air and its rays were pouring through the leaves burning his skin.  He’d been out for ages in the jungle searching for old treasures. Finding old pots, Artifacts and sculptures from lost Poptropicans of the past.  It was near the end of the day and he was about to head home when he found an old photo under a Shark statue. Looking at the old and crumpled photo he realised it was very old. It was only when he looked closer that he discovered something even more amazing:

Old Picture of Pirates

In the picture were three Poptropicans. They were wearing old shabby clothing and carried swords. Codien had never seen such strange clothing. The only thing that they could be were…Pirates.
But how on earth had Pirates gotten to Poptropica and will they ever return?
What do you think?

If your wondering how I found the “Picture”, I actually made it. But the costumes are all real. They were labeled ‘FL Pirate’.

Latest Update –  Fruity Golden Bars
Fruity Golden Bars
We think we know what the pirates are. We have just got information that Froot Loops has a new ad that involves Pirates. This would make sense because of the FL= Froot Loops. This would mean that it would be an advertisement/mission they will be bringing out. Like the Pink Panther 2.
The ad is advertising Froot Loops new cereal ‘Froot Loops: Fruity Golden Bars’. The new ad is called Treasure Island and is about the birds finding Froot Loop treasure. You can play games and find out more information on there site, here.
Thank you Graham for this information.

Well I’ve got some more Sneak Peaks in the future for you guys that only Poptropica Help Blog will get. I will post another Sneak Peak in 3 days.

Tata.

 Also, Speedy Speck sure was speedy today and managed to pop 7 balloons in a game of Paint War before Shark Boy did! This was Shark Boy’s story:

I was visiting the Fly-By-Night Airlines and had some great battles against Speedy Speck. We were really close on all of the battle games, but in the end she beat me at Paint War. Thanks Speedy Speck, that was fun!

Keep an eye out for the sneaky Shark Boy – you never know when he may turn up! 😉

Remember to look at all the other posts. There’s heaps of stuff happening all around us!

Counterfeit Island, Sneak Peeks

A truck pays a visit…

Yay – it’s the grapes again! Must be a sneak peek of the food-loving French-themed island. Thanks to Mitchell Brett for the update! In this picture we have a grape field very similar to this other sneak peek, but this time a mysterious truck seems to be driving by. Anyway, here it is:

Blog Post Title: Getting Around
Description: Look both ways before crossing the road on this island!
Image URL: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_q9BePaDQLzI/SXipfSwh8tI/AAAAAAAAACU/fWTMsxLM3p4/s1600-h/foreign_truck.jpg
Image Name: foreign_truck.jpg

Based on the information given, the Creators seem to be hinting at a lot (or they’re just random titles). The blog post title seems to say that we might use this truck as a means of transportation. The description hints that there may be some dangers on the road, and the image name points out that the truck shown in the picture is not French, but possibly from somewhere else (foreign). Or this is just a false alarm… but either way, we’ve got some new mysteries about this awesome island coming soon! 😀

Want a bear hat, or meet someone named Nice Bubbles? Check that all out in the post below. Or if you’d like another island sneak peek, why not visit this Big Nate seagull? 😛

Big Nate Island, Sneak Peeks

Boy and Seagull

What do you get when you cross a seagull and a Poptropican boy? A Big Nate sneak peek! 😀

Thanks Grumpy Wolf for keeping us informed! The setting of this sneak peek looks very familiar to this other one. The picture of the school clock is back and this time it seems that it’s flying time for the birds! The time is different from the last sneak peek, too. Blog picture and information below:

Blog Post Title: Heads up!
Description: What time is it when a seagull flies over your head? Time to get a new hat! Bwaa ha ha! This is why I prefer bunnies to birds.
(If you’re wondering about the comment of bunnies preferred over birds, it’s because this was posted by Poptropica Creator Dr. Hare.)

“…You’re on a mission to find a long-lost time capsule which, if found, can save the school from demolition…”
(Part of the Big Nate Island description from Poptropica.com)

Time: The time capsule relates to time, and so does a clock because it tells time.
School: If the time capsule is found, the school is saved. Also, the sneak peek shows a school clock.

Maybe this clock is related to that time capsule that can save the school? After all, they’re both related to time and school… 😉
