Hail Poptropolis!

First of all there is a gazoo of new things in the store.

New in the Poptropica Store

We have a few new things to share this week in the Poptropica Store. First, Poptropica Members can now get their exclusive Poptropolis Games gear!

These Member-only items include a snazzy Wrestling Singlet costume, a handheld Discus that you can throw around the screen, and the incredible Plant-a-Statue power, which lets you bring a little bit of the Poptropolis Games to any Island in Poptropica.

But that's not all! There's also a new costume in the store, available to everyone with Membership or credits.

Now, if somebody calls you a big baby, you can tell them they're right, and throw a fit to prove it.

Enjoy!


BLACK WIDOW

Cool beans, right?
I have to comments on this...
The first is the picture I made before the PCB post.

 The second is... look at the top of the new members only cards...

See the "Poptropolis 2012?" Will there be a new Potropolis every year? Or every 4 years like the Olympics? Will there be new Members only? Will there be multiple islands? The name on top is different for each island? Curious...
Also...

The tribes of Poptropica

Choosing your tribe in Poptropolis Games is no small decision. You'll fly your tribe's colors both in the game, and on your personality profile. Here's your first look at a few of the tribal logos.

Pretty nice, eh? That's only half of them. There are still four more to be revealed!

Over the next several week we'll be bringing you even more information about Poptropolis Games, including all of the tribal names and icons!



CAPTAIN CRAWFISH

Hydra Logo

Cool, eh? Is it just me or does the first one look like Hydra from Captain America and the Avengers (saw that last night, it was awesome!).
 There is also some more news!
In the Poptropica Friends Preview video, the sample username put in was "MonsterCarnival2012". You can still friend this person who has won three islands and answered three quiz questions. This has made a lot of speculation. First off... Monster Carnival 2012??? Is it coming back in 2012? Also the preview image for the video shows the word Monster Carnival 2012. Many people believe that this means it is defiantly coming back.
And finally..
Our Island Guide, Game Guide, and Rare Items pages have been updated. They are completely up to date so go on over and check it out! Also I have added a new page called "Poptropicans" so check it out and tell me if I should continue or delete it.

What to Expect When You Make Friends!

Over the last week there have been a LOT of posts about the new friends feature.  They let us see all of the awesome new features.

Playing through an Island on Poptropica gets you many rewards. Besides the satisfaction of a job well done, you'll also earn a gold medallion that you can wear to show off your accomplishment. But how many of you have been able to pull this off?




Medallions for every Island! Whoa, nelly. That's worth bragging about. Soon it'll be easier to show off an achievement like this.

One of the great things about Poptropica Friends is that you'll be able to see what medallions your friends have earned, and they'll be able to see the same for you. You'll even be able to show off how many times you've beaten each Island, by using Island Restart.

Poptropica Friends is launching soon. There's no better time than the present to start adding to your medallion total, before all your friends can see!

 You already know that Poptropica Friends will let you stay informed about what your friends are doing in Poptropica. What you might not know is how easy that's going to be!

Presenting the Recent Activity feed! You'll see this little box whenever you return to Poptropica, and it will show you the most up-to-date things your friends have been doing in Poptropica. You'll see when your friend has earned a photo, beaten an Island, saved a new costume, or answered a Pop Quiz. You can click through to see their full profile, or just flip through the feed to see what everyone is up to.

There's a lot more coming with Poptropica Friends. We're looking forward to sharing it with you!

One of the new features that will be coming with Poptropica Friends is the photo album. It's like your own virtual scrapbook of your adventures through Poptropica!

By playing through Islands, you'll occasionally see a message that says "New Photo Added" when you get to an important part of the story. Then, when you visit your photo album, you'll see snapshots showing you a new perspective of your character's feats. Every Island has about four different photos. There are over 100 in total!

Even better: every time you earn a new photo, the outfit you were wearing at the time is recorded in the picture. Even if you change clothes, you can costumize from your photos later!

Wait, there's more! If you're looking through a friend's photo album, you can costumize off of them, too. It's like the number of possible costumes just went to infinity!


We can admit that we're not perfect. One thing Poptropica is missing right now is an easy way to save the best costumes that you've put together. With Poptropica Friends, that will no longer be the case!

Another new feature with Poptropica Friends is the Costume Closet, which allows Members to store up to 30 unique costumes at a time. Not only that, but you can look through your friends' closets and borrow their best costume ideas, as well.

There you have it! The days of putting together a spectacular costume and then having to get rid of it are almost over.

All of these posts by Captain Crawfish let us know what to expect with friends. The only thing I can think of to make it better is that we get the photos for Islands completed before the friends feature. I guess that that wouldn't work because of cusomizing the suit from the picture. This is still really cool. There is only one way to describe this new feature... Epicness!

Happy Poptropolis Games!

More details about Poptropolis Games!

Yesterday, we showed you the trailer for the next Poptropica Island, Poptropolis Games. Now, we've got even more details!

The city of Poptropolis rises from the sea once every 100 years to host a tournament devoted to proving tribal supremacy. In Poptropolis Games, you'll choose a tribe to represent, and compete in several track and field events in pursuit of the championship. It won't be easy!

Visit the Poptropolis Games info page for even more information, and to download a free desktop wallpaper and printable poster!
