THE SACRED MIDAS TOUCH!

February 9, 2010February 9, 2010 Smockers

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

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!*

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!

Minimizing and Bobbleheading?

September 23, 2009September 23, 2009 Golden Eagle

Its GE here. School and homework is gone for today. Today was a good day…unless you count me almost going to detention and sobbing like a maniac on the way there totally day-wrecking. Curse my fear of “utterly destroying” my permanent record. Well…i learned a lesson. Don’t follow your friends into Art class 2 minutes before Language Arts starts.

Onto a more “pleasant” subject, the Creators released the Minimizer and the Bobblehead-ifier in the Store. I decided to check it out myself, since the PHF is down and i couldn’t see if anyone noticed before me.

“Remember kids, with a little determination and hard work, you can make things from Microsoft paint look decent!”-Kevin the Whale.

And speaking of Kevin the Whale…i might post him on the PHF soon. He’s such a cute little fellow!

Away from my eye-disintegrating attempt to follow Kevin’s advice…the Creators made a post about it. This time it was by

Dr.Hare

Minimizer and Bobblehead

Make yourself tiny with Minimizer, or shake things up with Bobblehead. Head over to the Poptropica Store to check out these awesome new items!

I myself would be very delighted to meet a mini-Dr.Hare. ^_^ I never met a normal sized one anyway.

I’m out my dear associates.

(On a brighter note, i will most likely take the SAT in early December or early next year. 😀 Maybe i’m over-doing it…but i started to look at Ivy League college qualifications. =| )

Update: Thanks to some very kind people on the PHB chat, i found out that there is a new “Ye Old Poptropica Store” on Astro Knights Island (bottom picture). Its basically just a cart that shows a featured Poptropica Store item. Plus, the Poptropica Store screen has been updated to have some new categories, like “Most Popular” and “Creators’ Picks” (top picture).

Limited Edition Robin Hood! And a mask…

September 1, 2009September 1, 2009 Golden Eagle

Golden Eagle popping in from a school day. Homework, check. Read a chapter of my book, check. Study for quiz…QUIZ? Oh yeah, check. 😀

Anyway, there has been a new costume reported in the Poptropica Store. It’s another LE one (Limited Edition). This time its Robin Hood, and it comes in two colors, a first for the LE costumes.

For the post:

Attention Protectors of Sherwood Forest!

The wardrobe for the Nottingham legend has expanded! Limited supply of fabrics or the new styles has caused a shortage of costumes to distribute, so grab yours while you can!

  Vlad The Viking

Since that picture from the Creators Blog shows the black version, I’ll show the white version.

This LE costume also seems to have a Limited Number ticket onto it. Noo!!!

Not BUYERS IMPULSE!!! *faints*

I also went to a Multiverse room today, and was I lucky! I got to meet one of the Creators, Hazmat Hermit! 😀

untitled1

In the picture you can see Hazmat Hermit, of course. You can also see Shaggy Tornado (who visited the party as Tall Ice), me, Deathstalker (there as Big Bird, in the corner of the picture) and Serious Fox (Blue Ring in this picture). She’s been wanting this for a while, so I’ll give it to her. Visit her Poptropica Blog here.

I also took some other pictures with the other people at the party (I had a little trouble….).

You can see me, Shaggy Tornado, Moody Skull, Golden Butterfly (also known as Maroon Fire), Cool Fly, Eddie305, Rolling Moon, and Serious Fox’s main account.

The mask Cool Fly has may be a Lego Bionicle mask (according to Deathstalker, and I’ll believe him because it looks like he knows what he’s talking about most of the time). Or, some people say it came from the limited number Golden Pop Star outfit, which is no longer on sale.

Anyway, I’m out.

Peace!

Fire and Ice!

August 21, 2009August 21, 2009 Golden Eagle

There’s been a new Creator’s Blog post, which Dr.Hare posted, and he even added some entertainment with it, a poem by the one and only, Robert Frost! What? You don’t know who he is? Well, take a gander at this page to find out. Anyway, back to the post.

Fire and Ice

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I’ve tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

-Robert Frost

He’s showing the new items in the Poptropica Store, the Torch and the Emotaloons! You can check out our post on the Emotaloons here, and the Torch here.

I’m a credit-less deadbeat in Poptropica, so I can’t buy it. 😦

Oh well. Forget about the pain I have to go through not owning these awesome items and go buy them already, if you like them.

I leave you today with a picture of Mr.Frost.

The Store is restocking!

July 31, 2009August 1, 2009 Slanted Fish

The Poptropica Creators will be releasing new items for the Poptropica Store every week during this summer! Incredible Fish got some cool pictures of the new Astronaut outfit that is currently in the Store for 75 credits:

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)…

…and when it’s on! (Image below is from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog.)

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 as 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 teeth (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:

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 in 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!

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?

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 finish 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!
