Will There Be A Greek Olympic Games Island ? Part 1

Hey everybody!I have seen some sneak peeks showing about the Olympics And I was STARTLED.
Will there be an Island about Olympics?Not sure but I have Interviewed and seen what Poptropicans said about this.


Busy Seagull: Wow, noticing the Olympic style sneak peeks, I'm REALLY looking forward to this island! The Olympics, as mentioned in the thread "Twisted Thicket," is coming up this summer. How better to celebrate such a world-renowned event on Poptropica than to create an island for it?




The Olympics first got it's start in Ancient Greece-it has nothing to do with Roman gladiators. The Origin of the Olympic Games
Also, the famous Marathon also has it's origins in Ancient Greece. Battle of Marathon How did the ancient olympics transpire into the modern Olympics? It was all do to a man named Pierre de Coubertin. Pierre de Coubertin, Founder of the Modern Olympics.


So, what are your thoughts? Are you excited? Do you think it will be the next island after Twisted Thicket?


Dangerous Leaf: Yeah, looking at the sneak peeks, this'll probably be after Twisted Thicket. Well, the Olympics originally were supposed to be to honor Zeus and the other gods. There was only one event back then, the foot races.


Im excited for this island though, because as it originated in Greece, we might be traveling to Greece again, like for Mythology Island! Oh, and for those that don't know, I love Greek mythology.




So Poptropicans What are your thoughts about This ? Read Part 2 To Find Out the Sneak Peeks.

Poptropica Friends

Poptropica will be releasing a new feature soon called Poptropica Friends. They haven’t provided very many details, but the basics are that you will be able to maintain a friends list of people that you meet or know in the game. You can add them as friends, share costumes and something they’re calling “game photos.”


You can share costumes and see profiles of your friends in the game. There’s also something called “personality pieces” which you get by answering quizzes each day. It looks really interesting. They did not announce when it will be available but there is a trailer video about the new feature here:

No matter how it works, being able to maintain a friends list in Poptropica will add a lot to the game and definitely make it more fun to hang out.


I noticed that the video was uploaded to YouTube over a month ago: March 7, 2012 but just went “live” today. So this is something that Poptropica has been planning for a long time but for whatever reason wasn’t ready to announce until now.


There is already a Friends feature on the top toolbar, but it is limited to adding a multiverse code. Based on sneak peeks and screenshots we’ve seen, it looks like this will be replaced with a new avatar icon and will have a lot more features.
