Turns out I was wrong about my prediction. Survival Island is the upcoming island, not Deep Dive (although Deep Dive is still coming soon). Both, and all future islands, are going to be released in episodes rather than all at once. That means that we'll get less islands in the entire year, but they'll be spread out. I protest this change because of a few reasons:
- We'll get less islands in the whole year! Which means less fun! Already the Creators have slowed down from the golden years (2009 to 2011).
- We'll have to play stop-and-go. I mean, you leave off the story and come back a few days later... just boring.
- Members will get less bang for the buck. Before, a one-month membership would let you play a whole island early; now, you'll get choked off in the middle or have to buy a longer membership.
Anyway, the first episode comes out on the 20th. In it, you crash-land in the Yukon and have to make a fire as it gets colder and colder at night. Next episode, you have to fish for food under ice. Also, you have a guidebook that you (my guess) have to rip pages out of to light the fire. As you can guess, that will complicate things...
More Advertising! Boo-hoo!
First of all, the ads on the sides of the screen that have always been there are different. They're animated now! A small step, but still disturbing.
Even worse! Go to any Old Pop island (like Night Watch) and go left of Main Street. There's a new ad space! This one is much wider, and you have to walk through it rather than click the sign to continue. Soon it'll have more ads on it... oh, no.
Does anybody realize what's happening? Mocktropica is coming true!

All Islands to Be Updated
 | The Creators recently announced that Poptropica is going to be playable on iPads. They said, The initial iPad release will include the new-and-improved versions of two of our most popular Islands, 24 Carrot Island and Time Tangled Island. Soon after, you'll be able to download the bigger and better editions of more classic Islands... Ah-ha! That means that all islands, including Mythology, Spy, Twisted Thicket, etc., are going to be upgraded to have music and the bigger screen. I suppose that's a good thing, now that the bugs are being squashed out of New Pop. |
