Poptropica Creators’ Blog Update 12/30/09: Rise from the Dead Edition (Plus, a New Poll!)

Hello again Poptropicans,

 

So, today, the Creators have given us yet another update after this extended 1 week absence. This time, it’s about the island we all have been begging for: Reality TV! Dr. Hare did promise updates on the island, so apparently it hasn’t been abandoned after all. Besides, it was decided by a poll, so we’d feel kind of ripped off that our choice of an island never happened. Anyway, this post is titled “Back to Reality”.

Well after much vacationing, I have again returned to Reality TV Island. I heard the local grocery store had some good donuts, I just don’t know which kind to get.

So, some randomness regarding TV this time around. Also, if you haven’t noticed, this is the first Reality TV post not involving either reality show contestants or TVs. We’re going through right now the same randomness as when we first heard of Counterfeit a month ago right now, so maybe we’ll even be able to play Reality TV Island before March. I’m hopeful, although my expectations are a bit lowered for this island after seeing how great Counterfeit Island is.

 

Also, there’s a poll on what your favorite game on Poptropica is, so be sure to vote in that.

 

So, until next time,

Poptropica Creators’ Blog Update 10/22/09

Today, the Poptropica Creators released another update to their blog, along with the results to the last poll.

 

The update is regarding the Poptropica Store with some new items. Here’s the blog post:

 

Let the fun begin!

Head on over to the store to check out the new Silly Streams and Followers Spook Pack! Now you have everything you need to get the party started!

I am personally sick of the creators making 90% of their posts today about the Poptropica store. I think we’ve all probably spent all our Poptropica Points already. Now, we all just want Reality TV Island. The island was officially announced on September 23rd, 2008. That’s right, over a year ago, this island was announced. That day was also 11 days before Big Nate Island was announced, and 53 days after Nabooti Island was announced. Nabooti Island was released on December 10th, 2008, and Big Nate was released on February 12th, 2009. That’s right, the island that was announced 11 days before Reality TV Island, the island that might not even be coming out, was released over 8 months ago. We’re in a recession, Poptropica. Most parents today wouldn’t be willing to put out any money at all for virtual items such as the ones in the Poptropica Store. In a nutshell? WE DON’T CARE ABOUT THE POPTROPICA STORE. WE WANT MORE ISLANDS ALREADY!

 

Also, the results to the Poptropica Creators’ Blog poll are in. I expected the results to be something like this. Here they are:

 

Early Poptropica: 446 (2%)

Shark Tooth: 433 (1%)

Time Tangled: 652 (3%)

24 Carrot: 455 (2%)

Super Power: 1247 (5%)

Spy: 2042 (9%)

Nabooti: 464 (2%)

Big Nate: 440 (2%)

Astro-Knights: 3216 (14%)

Haunted House: 12281 (56%)

 

I’m happy that Spy did still get 9%. I still don’t get why people feel the need to always vote for the newest island, but that doesn’t really matter. The poll’s just for fun anyways.

 

Anyway, now that I’m done ranting, comment on this, and get your own opinion into the actual post. If you’re going to curse in your comment, that’s okay, but just be aware that I’ll either asterisk (****) out the words, or change the word to something more appropriate. If I decide to post your comment on here, I may edit it a bit if I feel it is necessary, but I will not remove anything from your comment except for curses. It’s okay to argue with me; I love arguing with people. 🙂

 

Until next time,

Poptropica Creator’s Blog Island Poll

Hello Poptropicans,

 

As you hopefully know by now, the creators of Poptropica have their own blog where they post updates and polls quite frequently. From this point forward, I’ll repost all their posts, and put my own commentary in it. If you comment on one of the posts, and I like your comment, I’ll add your comment to the post with your commentary, and my commentary on your commentary. So, if you check the blog frequently, you’ve probably already noticed that there’s a poll up on the right-hand side of the page.

The question is:

What is your favorite island or quest on Poptropica?

 

The choices are all the islands, or, if you forget them all, here they are:

Early Poptropica

Shark Tooth

Time Tangled

24 Carrot

Super Power

Spy

Nabooti

Big Nate

Astro-Knights

Haunted House

Obviously, Haunted House is winning, due to the constant pattern of the newest always seeming to be the best. Spy Island is still my favorite, as I believe they put the most effort into it besides Astro-Knights, but unlike Astro-Knights, it has much better of a story. I like how Big Nate only has 1% right now, while they got 22% soon after it first came out. The poll ends tomorrow, so if you haven’t voted yet, vote!

What do you think is the worthy winner? Make a good comment, and I’ll post you!

 

Until next time,

 

-Fierce Sky
