Where Are All the New Islands?

There’s been a lot of cool stuff in Poptropica this year. We’ve seen some recent announcements like the Legendary Swords mini-game and some earlier hints about improving the backpack and costume interface. But one thing we haven’t seen a lot of this year is islands. Yes, Poptropica is up to 22 announced islands, and that’s quite a bit, but after they introduced paid membership last year and promised more islands, I would have thought that they’d be releasing a lot more.

So far, there have been five public island releases this year, starting with Cryptids Island. The last public release was Shrink Ray Island on July 28, a full two months ago! Yes, Mystery Train Island is out for members, but the creators haven’t announced when non-members will get to play. I’m guessing sometime around October 9, which would be a month since it came out for paid members. We just got an announcement that Game Show Island will be coming out, but there’s no dates available for the members-only or the public release.

Update: The launch date for Game Show Island (for paid members) was just revealed: October 20!

Once Mystery Train does finally come out for everyone, it will have been at least two months since non-members got to play a new island.

So it is at least possible we’ll see seven public releases in 2011 if Game Show Island comes out by the end of the year. And to be totally fair, that’s above the average since Poptropica has been running for four years now. But I kind of expected more. What do you think? Is seven enough? Should Poptropica be releasing even more islands, or are you happy enough with the ones they’ve released? Post your thoughts in the comments below or join us in the Forum!

  8. Woah Wild Monster. Chill out! There are little kids on this website that might read your STUPID comment. I bet people would say love to say “****” to you.

    I think that there should definitely be more islands. That way, it keeps us entertained. We can always find something else but I like islands the most.

    (Please join the forum and post often! We need more people!!)

  9. they should really post more

  10. I agree with petpet you should really chillax and i can name one child…….ME!!!!!!!!!!!! i personally think you should be banned from this site

  11. do you really think that they’d stop making islands by september? 2 moar islands would be satisfactory πŸ˜€

  12. why is !WILD MONSTER! so mad at Fierce Moon?

  13. I think WildMonster wrote a very nice post about me. Well, after I edited it.

    P.S. WildMonster, you are officially on probation. That kind of language is not acceptable here.

  14. I WANT MORE ISLANDS FOR NON-MEMBERS!

    and here are some of my island ideas:

    WHAT I WANT: i think they should have……
    some sort of mermaid island. or fairy island. (not to sound all 10-year-old-girl-ish)
    BMX bike, extreme sports, or the olympics island. (that would be so cool)
    wizard/magic island
    some sort of island where you create a hit TV show or movie.
    some sort of island where you have to be a TV news anchor. (i do that at my school!)

    WHAT THE CREATORS WILL PROBABLY MAKE: (if i know them…)
    caveman island
    dinosaur island
    soccer island

  15. maybe an Atlantis island that goes along with Neat Hopper’s mermaid island idea

  16. wow, WM i’m sorry you got banned, but you chose to post that. it was your decision. i think we can all learn a lesson. watch what you post. no cussing.

    thank you PoptropicaSecrets for setting this example.

    (wow, i am such a peacemaker)

  17. okay guys, i wasn’t here yesterday at all, so i actually have no idea about what Wild Monster said. but i dont want to know. (well, maybe someone can explain it without all the bad words…..)

  34. firce moon are you secretscp?

  35. *cough cough*
    Anyway…. lol πŸ™‚

    AND i have a great cheat on Money Ladder for NON-members… shall i tell you?…

    Ok, well basically, if you get to a question you don’t know, or are not sure of, then click on the circle where you’re supposed to get help from the experts. HOWEVER if you are a non-member you don’t get to use them, so it will come up with a box saying something along the lines of ‘you have to be a member to use this feature. Do you want to become one?’ And when this box is up, it will give you enough time to go search the internet and find out the answers to the questions.
    Then you just click on ‘No thanks’ and click the right answer.

    It really works! (well it did for me anyway…)

    Hope i helped! πŸ™‚

    P.S. It’s nice that for once there is something NON-MEMBERS can do that MEMBERS can’t. πŸ˜›

    P.P.S. Did you ever notice that OK is like a stick-man on his side? The O is like a head and the K is the body lol πŸ™‚

  36. oops i just realised how long that post was…… lolz

    sorry x

  37. P.S. I actually quite like my name – i mean the name on Poptropica: Brave Bones πŸ™‚

  38. I cant WAIT! Til Game show island comes out for non members. It will prob be so easy and fun. ( except for money ladder since i tried it for the trial thingy). And your’ totally right, Fierce Moon. It should be out already. AND I cant wait till mystery train island comes! I love the game train thing! Love u Fierce moon love love love u! BTW I am Golden Catfish on Pop tr o p i c a. And one more time. LOVE U AND ALSO POP TR O P I C A! Okay. This is getting LONG. Better Go and find a text written walk through for a island. ( one time on cry pi d island i was this close before getting to the end of the LONG movie walk through and i was MAD. So I do text written now. I am working on Shrink Ray for the moment.) If u notice this is a long comment, your’ right. Since this is kinda the first comment i put on this website. But like the Twentieth time I’ve been on here. Talk to you soon ( Hopefully) Golden Catfish.

  39. I love islands, I could always use more islands, but…I guess I can wait.
    For island ideas, try taking a trip to Colonial Williamsburg at the end of next June and gather info for a historical “Town is taken by the redcoats, see what you can do to help the patriots” island or at the beginning of October for ideas on a “Continentals are in Williamsburg, be a spy for Washington and spy on Cornwallis in Yorktown” island :). I love Williamsburg and that would be really cool! (Btw, if the idea for a Williamsburg island isn’t that bad, “Under the Redcoat” and “Prelude to Victory” are the events that will provide easy reseach.)
    I would especially like to get more colonial costumes, even if the island idea never gets past here :). I love my current costume, but what’s next??? (See avatar studio: “Busy Seagull!” to see what I chose.)
    P.S. Brave Bones, I think I wrote an even longer post, sorry if I talk too much lol.

  40. ALL OF US HAVE LEARNT FROM WILD MONSTER SO NEVER SAY A BAD WORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  41. Busy Seagull – oh okay lol I think I spaced mine out more so it looks like more… oh well, i don’t mind – you don’t talk too much!!

    Brave Bones xxx
