Houses for Poptropicans?

rrburner

Well, it’s about time! Recently, Captain Crawfish released this exciting news on the PCB!

Poll position

We’ve got a new poll running in the sidebar that we’d like you to answer. This is a simple one: would you want to have your own space in Poptropica, which you could decorate however you like and invite friends to come visit?

We’re always looking for ways to make Poptropica even better. Your opinion can help!

I always wanted a Poptropica house! With a red wall and a desk spray painted black! That’d be awesome. So be sure to vote yes on the poll! Oh, and he also released this redundant news.

You talk the talk…

Have you had a chance to check out the sneak preview of Red Dragon Island? Lots of Poptropicans have already battled their way to Yokozuna status. Whether or not you’ve joined their status, you may have noticed something interesting about your opponents: they’re a mouthy bunch.

Yes, your Sumo opponents talk a lot of trash before the matches. Let them talk the talk — but if you can walk the walk, then you’ll be a Yokozuna in no time!

Chubby McChubby’s got a potty mouth. Oh, and there’s a new ad on main street sponsoring PBS’ two new shows, Noah Comprende (rip off of Dora the Explorer) and Chuck VanderChuck’s something something EXPLOSION! (A man who is a bit TOO nonsensical.) You watch the video and get two costumes. They’re pretty lame though. Peace!

THE SACRED MIDAS TOUCH!

Smockers

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!*

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!

Counterfeit Island

Counterfeit Credits!

Mara Elisabeth

Hey guys, Neat Whale posting. It seems that the Creators are getting ready to launch Counterfeit island, so start saving your credits to buy an early access ticket! Oh, and speaking of credits… the Poptropica Creators are actually saying they will give not 100 but 200 credits if anyone finishes the island while it’s still in early access, and thanks for the update, Goldenbutterfly/Maroonfire23! Well, here’s the post…

Early Access = Bonus Credits!

Counterfeit Island is almost here! We are offering 200 FREE CREDITS for all the Poptropicans that complete Counterfeit Island during the Early Access period. More details to follow!

Until then, please enjoy the world premiere of the new Counterfeit Island video!

The post also said that it was posted by Director D., but then says ‘posted by the one and only Shark Boy’ under it. (Thanks for the notice, Blue Dragon!)  XP, I think the Creators are either getting mixed up or are putting on a ‘Counterfeit’ name, eh? 😛
That video is seriously creeping me out… I have no clue if I want to play Counterfeit anymore… well, okay, maybe I do, but if there is a possible way that you can go without the lights going dark an someone attacking you I’m going that way… lol… well, I have nothing left to say, so, Neat Whale out!

Big Nate Island Video Sneak Peek and Comic!

Smockers

Yay, another sneak peek! IIRC, this is our second video sneak peek of Big Nate Island! It shows the main street of Big Nate Island. Apparently, Nate follows you around during your journey on Big Nate Island. Um.. stalker much? LOL! Anyways, enough words! Video below!

Also, we receive another funny comic of Big Nate courtesy of the Poptropica Creators’ Blog!

There’s a new advertisement in between places on most islands. It’s advertising a Speak Out on PBS Kids. Clicking on the top of this ad will bring you to this webpage: http://pbskids.org/speakout/. Here’s what it looks like:

pbs-speakout-ad

There is also a new poll on the Poptropica Creators’ Blog! It asks you what your favorite island is so far. Presumably, Nabooti is winning by a landslide. And good reason, too; it’s a fun and challenging island!

Check out our Nabooti Island guide (made by the wonderful Codien) to learn how to complete it fast and easily! =) The Nabooti Map is now available for viewing!

Treasure Hunt: Nabooti Mask!

Slanted Fish

It’s Treasure Hunt time again! This time, the hidden treasure is an exclusive mask from the upcoming Nabooti Island. (Note: You do not have to have this mask to play Nabooti Island.) Here’s the link to a clue of where the mask is located: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AkTCxo8C1Ys/SN1WfhAuxWI/AAAAAAAAACg/4fgG10K6OUk/s1600-h/treasurehunt.jpg.

Here’s a video to help you out:

Written Walkthrough: The mask is located in the rooftops of Spy Island (the place above Balding Avenue). You know that building where the electrical tower is? Jump down below it, but don’t leave the Rooftop area. The Nabooti mask is located floating in the tall brown building there. You probably will need to use your Grappling Bowtie to get to it. If you don’t have one, read this: https://poptropica.wordpress.com/spy-island-quest to find out how to get one! Once you see it, click on it and the words “BONUS” will appear for a second, in gold letters. Your character will be wearing the mask! Use the Costumizer on somebody to remove the bonus item from your character.

There’s also a LEGO Bionicles advertisement in between places.

I’ve also added a new poll: Don’t forget to check it out!
