Note from the Admin

Hi, Poptropicans!

As I am now in Secondary School, I do have less time to update this blog which I built from scratch when I was in Primary 4 in 2009. Hence, I will not be posting updates quite so frequently as I used to before PSLE. I will however continue to post walkthroughs on YouTube and this blog, as though Poptropica has taken a back seat in my life right now, it has not disappeared.

Soon, I will be making a walkthrough for Ghost Story Island, since I am a non-member and cannot access it yet. If you are a member, you can try Poptropica Secrets’ walkthrough to guide you. Conversely, why not try the island on your own first? My walkthrough will be ready in about a week or so after the island is released, depending on how busy my schedule is, so please bear with me. Thank you for reading this blog and see you soon!

Update on Steam Vent Game Glitch (Steamworks Island)

(As shown on The Poptropican’s Facebook Page)

For those of you with problems with the steam vent game (there are quite a few right now), I have asked Fierce Moon of Poptropica Secrets for advice. Hopefully I will get a reply, and when I do, it will be published on the blog.

________________________________________________________________

Yeah, I know it’s still the weekend, but I check back every day for comments and site stats and it appears that many of you have this problem. I have not experienced this glitch before so I’m not in a position to help. Hence, I asked the admin of Poptropica Secrets how to solve this problem.

Alright, now I’m really going off for what’s left of the weekend (about 11 hours) so see you on Monday!

Monster Carnival Island (never finished) mentioned on Poptropica Secrets

When I first started playing poptropica, 24 Carrot Island had already been released, hence I knew nothing about Monster Carnival Island. Recently, Poptropica Secrets (Yes, I do read their blog from time to time ) featured Monster Carnival Island. Read the full post here. Before Time Tangled Island (then known as Time Twisted Island) was released, Monster Carnival Island was announced for 2008. However, it never made it to the full list. Instead, without any explanation, 24 Carrot Island replaced it on the map.

The map showing Monster Carnival Island’s icon along with Time Twisted Island, before its name was changed.

Also mentioned on Poptropica Secrets is an early sketch of Monster Carnival Island, which appeared in Daily Pop some time back. Click here to view the full-sized image.

Since I don’t want to put this in another post, I’ll just post this here. This week has been the week with the highest ever average blog hits in The Poptropican’s entire history, averaging 109 hits per day (which may seem extremely little compared to Poptropica Secrets but I never thought this blog would have reached over 100 hits per day). Furthermore, this month has been the month with the most hits in the history of The Poptropican, and it isn’t even over yet! So, thank you for supporting the blog so much. I’m going to break for the weekend, but I’ll see you back on Monday. Good luck with Poptropica, and have fun playing!

Wallpaper and Walkthrough

Greetings, everyone! So, right now Game Show Island is available to non-members, so I’m going to make a walkthrough and it should be posted in a few hours. In the meantime,  I made a walkthrough for everyone to refer to if they are lost and need help. Do enjoy a wallpaper as well, that I just created with Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, with the help of Poptropica’s Avatar Studio and Google Images.

Also, do vote in the poll that I posted yesterday, it’s in the post right below this one. And if you want snappy updates or you just want to support the blog, like its Facebook Page by clicking like in the widget on the right! Thank you!

The wallpaper’s resolution is 1366 by 768, a common resolution for most laptop displays today. To view the full size image, just click on it. To set it as your wallpaper, just right-click it and choose ’Set as background’. This is free to distribute! I hope you like it.

EDIT: Here is the walkthrough that I just uploaded on YouTube a few minutes ago.

Poll

Recently, my full-length videos on YouTube haven’t been as popular as videos in part. So I’m going to conduct a poll on which format you prefer. Please make a vote, as I would really like to know whether I should just upload one long video or not. Thank you!

The Poptropican is back…TODAY!!!

Sorry for the long intermission, guys. But since the school holidays have started, I’m back to posting Poptropica stuff. I’ve just made a walkthrough on Mystery Train Island and since I’m not a member, I won’t be able to upload a video for Game Show Island yet but I’ll make one as soon as I can.

Once again, for updates about the blog, like The Poptropican’s Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Poptropican/184433581607312. Thanks for your continuous support of the blog!

Back after PSLE!

Hi, everyone! I’m pleasantly surprised that I am still getting views on my blog. Let me announce that I will continue posting on this blog, not immediately, but let me catch up with Poptropica first, since I haven’t been able to do any Poptropicaning for quite a long time. Once I have caught up, hopefully by next week, I will continue posting on the blog to delight you die-hard Poptropica fanatics.

I will try to update as much as possible in the month of October, but I will have to move out for a couple of months for renovation, and I may not have internet access until I move back at the end of December, so please bear with me, guys.

Thank you for your continuous support for this blog!

Hiatus! (But I assure you, I’ll be back)

Apparently right now Facebook is down. I actually planned on posting something on the page for today, but since it’s down I can’t access the Facebook page. When it’s up, however, I do appreciate it if you do like the blog’s Facebook page (the ‘like’ button is just on the sidebar).

Also, I know I planned on doing a Mythology Island Walkthrough some months back, which I probably will soon, but PSLE is in less than two months so I actually have a lot to prepare (including in my head, since nervousness and anxiety makes me mess things up). Hence, When the new island is released I probably won’t be updating the blog until PSLE is over. Although there will be a hiatus, I will definitely come back after my PSLE, which ends on 5 October (That’s my higher Chinese paper), so do visit the blog. If you want to keep track easily, click on the button nest to the search box where it says RSS, so you can subscribe to The Poptropican’s feed to get updates as they come along. (On advice on how to use this feature, I’m afraid you have to Google it as I’m not familiar with that.)

The hiatus starts from tomorrow. Remember! I’ll be back! So don’t abandon this blog, please, since every kid in my country of my age has to take PSLE, so I hope you can be understanding. Oh, and I must now show my appreciation. For today and yesterday (so far), my blog hits is 60. Thank you readers, you have really been very supportive of The Poptropican.

I hope to see you again, after I overcome this obstacle lying ahead of me at this current time.

Over and Out.

New Sections

To show my appreciation for you readers, I have come up with 2 new sections. First is the PCB Section, where content from the Poptropica Creators’ Blog is uploaded for all to see. But you know about that. Nest is the Ask the Experts page. There aren’t any experts working on this site, but I could answer your questions! So what you need to do is to comment on that page or go to http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Poptropican/184433581607312?ref=ts#!/pages/The-Poptropican/184433581607312 and write it on the wall. I will then answer your question (on the wall if you post it on the wall, otherwise I will just post it on the blog’s page) by posting your question and my answer on the page, so others who also have this question in mind can also read the question.

I hope that you can help me make this blog a better one!

Do introduce your friends to Poptropica, seeing how much fun it is, and tell them about this blog if they need any help solving the islands.

To show my appreciation, I shall spend more time updating the blog and I will add a new page – PCB Section. I will also put in the links for the walkthrough section right now. Good luck with solving the islands!
