We Need Your Feedback!
Howdy, Poptropicans!
We're working a lot of new features in Poptropica (and converting old islands too!) and want to hear from YOU about what you want (aside from the old islands, haha)!
With all of us at home practicing social distancing, we all miss our friends. How do you wish you could connect with your friends in Poptropica? Let us know in the comments below!
why aren't you letting the old islands
I'd come on to poptropica so much more if they were still playable
You said it!
According to my knowledge, they are already working on adding in the old islands to the new version of Poptropica that doesn't involve Adobe Flash Player (since Adobe Flash will be shut down by the end of 2020). This will take a while though, since the dev. team might not be large enough and since there are many islands. Eventually, the old islands are planned to come back (or so we hope).
Have our character from flash go into the haxe possibly
What if you made some islands where you can connect with certain friends and complete a multiplayer island together...
I missed the create your dream island contest but what if you created a food/mission impossible type island where you are thouroughly investigating a restaurant...Classifried Island?
OOOohh i remember those features
haha! ClassiFRIED island?! I get it. good one XD
Please improve the backpack inventory! Separating the event items to the island ones! Also, improve some visual glitches on some islands. That's all and thanks for updating the game.
I don’t know if this is even possible, but perhaps a multiplayer island in the future? Maybe something that can be completed solo, but maybe has a unique prize/ending for two players. The best I can think of mechanics-wise for such a thing is a puzzle that requires two players to complete.
Honestly Poptropica is the only thing saving me from intense boredom during this pandemic. You and your dev team have created an amazing site!
Same with me
I really have to know if ur bringing back Wimpy Wonderland! thats my favorite one...and also when will the new islands start coming in?
ooh Ghost Story is actually favored by me sorry
Hi, I hope you are doing well Poptropica team. I will list 3 ideas that i believe will drastically improve the game and I do hope that they interest you.
1. CONNECTING WITH FRIENDS
For connecting with friends, I would like you guys to create a party room where the potropican may either invite or join another friend. After the 2 friends are together, they may enter islands together and earn medals together, and earn credits together!
2. STORE POWERS
In the store, you should allow the powers you guys put in the store to actually help in either the general islands or one big island specifically meant for anxious and restless poptropicans to unleash their hard earned powers. I will elaborate on this "one big island, it can be an island that is constructed differently from the usual poptropica islands. This island will consist of levels and stages with boss monsters to defeat to receive the ultimate loot! The common android/apple rpg game.
3. POPTROPICA THEMES AND PLOTS
You guys should change the way you create islands. Rather than creating islands based on your own ideas, experiences and, thoughts, you should rely on the poptropicans to come with themes and plots to create islands.
With that said, I don't know whether or not you guys are creating new islands right now, but i think rather than focusing on old islands, you guys should create new islands with new plots, new themes; based on new books new movies; based on the the ideas of you old fellow poptropicans.
I don't like number 2! common rooms should be a place to chill out and take a break from hard islands, not become one!
-White fox
But weren't they doing number 3 since 2015? They've been asking for ideas from fans but I'm not really sure tho.
-Mad Whale
Could non members get cool followers? And converting old islands sounds great! And does anyone else notice that Baby Dr. Hare looks like Baby Yoda?
Are you kidding, YES! It is SOOO adorable! And I don't know who suggested a restaurant themed island, but I think that would be an awesome island!
thx very much! i tried to send a google document that listed my idea but i guess it didnt get approval, but thx for supporting! :D
Could we get Lunar Island back?
I think realms needs some updates. Like more items to work with. And maybe you can do some sort of contest as well.
I love realms and I totally agree that it needs something new!
yesssss
Something else: Bring old features from the friend page back. Like those questions such as "Do you believe in ufos?". And yknow that feature when you get photos while playing islands and you can view them? Possibly bring that back as well. And I'm not sure when the last Poptropilos games was(probably spelled that wrong) but please make that a thing again.
That's all I have to say right now. Poptropica has a special place in my heart and I want to see this game become popular again. Good luck on your progress and stay safe.
I never had those features because I just started Poptropica in March 2020.I saw it on the Internet and it looked really fun.So yes I agree with you
I'd love to see the old layout of the friend list return, the one with the walking Poptropicans, and where you can display your photos! I also want the daily pop back, that was great.
I think we should bring back the poptropica tribes and their common rooms.
i agree
I am so glad you asked because I have a lot of stuff I want back on poptropica! I want the photo booth back on home island for starters. Second, the old school common rooms all had hoops, paint war, soupwords, and pathwise. I want those back too. Third, there is a little problem on the friends page. Im a member and even I can't put stickers on my wall! Can you fix it? Fourth, the videos in the poptropica theater used to be amazing, and now they are no good at all. Please add more videos that are actually worth watching. Fifth, there were comics we could read on the old friends page. I miss them, especially the poptropica comic strip itself. Sixth, this is another small thing, but the clubhouse hasn't been updated in a while. It would be nice to have a fifth room in there. Seventh, I keep hearing about the poptropica stickers app. I, as a die hard fan would love to try it but its only on the app store! Is there a way to get it on google play as well? Eighth, The pop store would be better if you put all of the stuff in the store and then expand from there... just like it used to work. It would be better than just taking stuff out of the store every week or month. But most of all, I reeeally want poptropica worlds to get back off the ground! There hasn't been a single new island or update in what, 2 years? This is a long list, but only because I've been on here for a really long time and it's my all time favorite website! Thank you poptropica! And congratulations on conquering club penguin and the rest of the interactive worlds!
I agree with ALL of these points!
I for one, would really a multi-player option. Especially during this quarantine, I want to be able to play with friends (maybe even video call with them as we're playing) and I think it would be a lot of fun! Some of the old islands I would like to see brought back are AstroKnights, Reality TV Island, Shark Tooth, some of the old classics!
these are awesome points!! Great job!
Let us add by username and delete friends we don't want!
yes!!!
Aside from the old inventory items that were achieved from the old store and islands, I miss the ability to have customized outfits separate from wearable items again; I dislike the fact that many new islands require some form of hat to be equipped that replaces the character customized outfits since some of them are no longer available to wear in new poptropica.
i bought many things from the store back in around 2012-ish and i've noticed a lot of the stuff i've bought are missing (like chewing gum, followers, and costumes). i assumed they disappeared because of the conversion and i'm wondering if and when i will get them back.
Bring back the maps where we could see our progress and places that we haven't unlocked yet. Bring back the old layout of the friends list. Bring back tribe common rooms and tribes. Bring back multiverse. Bring back the old games that we could play in the common rooms. And please let us non-members be able to play the islands that are now locked because we nee membership to play!
I think you guys should let out pets in the arcade because I bought accessories for my dog, and I want to show it off to others. Also please make/bring back islands...I joined the poptropica family around halloween 2019 and I didn't get to see the old islands. Everyone says how great they are and I wish I could play them. Also you guys should make it so you see all of your friends on your friends page because some of my friends I haven't seen in awhile on the page and I want to talk to them. Thanks for all that you do for us and Poptropica!!!
You guys should switch the winter theme in poptropica to spring because it has been spring for a really long time now and I love seeing all the new changes you guys make!!
Can you give us more updates on the old islands? I'd like to know and see some progress on them. I would really feel like a lot of us would understand the lack of updates if there was more communication. Also I am really excited for the new (old) islands to come out and I want to excite myself with some progress
Hi poptropica! Thanks for asking. To me I never really socialized too much in poptropica. It's already fun by itself with the islands! But I won't go on about the islands... and be one of those people who complain about them and go "Wheres the old islands!!! bRIng tHEm bACK!" I know you already hear that soooo much...
So the way we would connect with others would be so much better if you...added the old friends page back!! I know you hear people always saying they want old poptropica back,but it's so true the old friends page was great. I mean it's cool that you remade the friends page but...sorry it's kinda lame and alot people don't like it. I mean you can't even unfriend people. Also I know safety plays a big part of poptropica (That's why there's no free chat) but I don't know why you would remove the adding friends by username feature. I mean some of us have in real life have friends, and we can't all meet at a specific common room or something. That's why it's easier to just add them by user. Also another feature I miss is the little personality questions you would get when you logged in. I remember they made logging in very fun and would make me can't wait to answer another one. It was fun seeing what other people would pick and you could tell what their personality was like from those little questions. Ah and another thing,tribes. I don't know but I thought that was pretty cool. And one last thing when it comes to the old friends page. The pictures you get when you progress islands! They were very funny to me. I miss seeing and collecting them! Argh there gone! Well that's all I can think of that I and other players would wish to see. Sorry it's so long,I just really think you guys are great! Thanks for listening to your fans...
You're right! I can't believe I forgot about the tribal rooms on the friends page because I used to visit them all the time! The old friends page is awesome. And if there is a way to make that old friends page playable without changing it into what we have now, that would be the best!
you have great ideas! These all sound amazing! Also I really admire your politeness most people would start whining:
NOOO!! Bring the islands back without membership!" and it's smart to be more polite to the creators of our favorite game!
i would like to add friends by username and maybe an island to play with a friend
I agree completely with you. Please Pop Team!
can we do both username friends and not-username friends? cause I don't actually know any real players other than my sister. Thank you!
I want new islands its been so long since we had cool islands the new reality tv island was dissapointing cause it didn't have a storyline and was very short compared to other islands also I would like there to be an option where you can delete friends and add those fun quiz questions so your friends can learn more about you.
Ya we need some more islands..
Cannot stress this enough, old islands are gonna be the biggest draw for players to poptropica. I started playing this game when I was maybe 9/10 and I'm now 22 and still eager to play. My friends and I use to call eachother on on the home-phone and try to find eachother in the common rooms. The mini games in the common rooms also a big plus. The alphabet soup letter game the skydiving game all of them are well loved and remembered. Again though the old islands are what are missed the most. My favorites were astro knights, cryptids, and skulldugery. It took me over a month to finish skulldugery and I loved it. I have many friends, my age and older, that would return and regularly play the old islands. My recommendation is when poptropica decides to bring back one of these old islands, that a pole be done to see which ones are missed the most and which ones are peoples favorites. Hope this helps.
Couldn't agree more
I don't have any actual friends on poptropica but I am here to say that I tried to play today and kept getting redirected to a Flash player download screen even though I have the latest update :(. I can't wait for you guys to move to a new software :)
I don't really interact with other players. I'm mostly here to get that burst of nostalgia when I play this game. I'd love to see all the old islands again eventually. Hope y'all are doing well.
Hey Pop team,
I have been playing with this idea in my head for several months now. Imagine: Poptropica, but Splitscreen! Others have said "multiplayer, multiplayer!" but I don't know if that would be possible without changing the game hugely. Multiplayer would also not be possible on the old islands. I believe a splitscreen feature would be adaptable to the current islands and a huge playing point for players. I, personally, would play a splitscreen feature into the ground! I imagine speed trials to see who finishes an island first would be crazy fun. Being able to share island secrets and tips would be a no-brainer. I don't think you would be able to adapt chat features to this well enough to truly keep a child-friendly atmosphere, but I'm sure to even encourage children to only play with people they know, calling their friend on the phone to chat while they play is a better option for parents to monitor as well.
Thanks for all you do!
This would be super super cool, about a month ago my friend and I who had played ALOT of Poptropica were wishing there was a co-op game. Also what happened to all the club room games?
Increase the number of outfits you have without membership. And the option for shoes.
Add face masks for people to wear!! Also change it from winter to spring. It has been spring for a really long time.
First off I APPRECIATE the work that you guys have been putting into this website! Great work!
I don't ask for much, but I would love if there was more chat options so we could talk to other players more diversely. Thank you!
i would want the medal display, the photo book, the tribes, and those personality quizzes back. Multiplayer islands would also be cool
for real. i miss seeing all my medals
Yes!! Being able to customize all of that was so much fun, I really miss it and it really feels like a chunk of poptropica was broken off
being able to play with others and chatting in the common rooms would be epic!!! my older brother told me he used to play poptropica and I play it all the time now :)
I think that you as Poptropica creators are doing a great job allowing us to access all these islands Poptropica realms for free. I would really like if you can make an Ocean's 8 kind of an island which takes place in a very grand setting and in a very big event in the evening. It would be really cool to execute a heist in front of so many fancy poptropicans watching. Would be real fun!
I would like to see a chat option where we can type without using the bubbles because it feels too limited sometimes. But the chat could be moderated.
Probably a members only feature, use a strict pool of words players can use, if the word isn't in the dictionary it'll be censored, or the player simply can't send the message. Like Animal Jam, Pirate/Wizard101, Roblox, and others
Photo booths back on the home island, and let non members display them? Overall, updating the home island since it is still snowy..But thanks for asking all of our input!!
I would love it if you did more mystery islands like Scooby Doo or Nancy Drew or the Hardy boys
I agree
That would be very cool I agree
Maybe using similar mechanics to Mystery Train, interrogating npcs and aligning the clues is so much fun!
YES! That was fun to put together the clues, Alder!!
PLEASE bring back the old islands. They were so, so much fun. I really miss old Poptropica and almost all of the islands are gone right now. When will they be back? I want to relive my childhood.
i very much agree !!!
They currently have them down, due to flash no longer being supported, but the thing is, flash can still be used. Why not keep the islands up until they're converted to the new system?
It still requires you to enable flash player when playing the game, so I don't see why that can't keep the old islands up while they update them
more ad island's and non member can hold the prizes forever to and mini games comeback to when new island came and more island based on books and movies to.
I would REALLY appreciate it if we were able to delete friends! I'm always accidentally adding friends I don't want!
Monthly quests/continued storylines across all the islands would be awesome because we'd have a reason to travel back to completed islands. Thank you for keeping up the hard work! I'm excited for what's in store.
I think it would be cool to have an island about witches and wizards
please please please bring back the original customization of a new account back! the old character customization and resetting it until I liked the randomly generated name was one of my favourite things about it and I miss that beginning a lot. also the old homepage with the questions and our tribe from that olympic type of island and the running friend list
This please!
New islands with new plots and story line. :)
Of course, I'm excited for the old islands, but I'm also hyped for new islands, as well! My cousins and I used to play Poptropica religiously about 10 years ago, and we all just started playing through the islands, again, and we're itching for new content.
Everyone needs to understand they have to convert everything over since Adobe flash is shutting down! But about the friends situation I think there should be muiltplayer islands and friend button to friend people like in the original! Thx for making a great game everyone who worked on it then and now !
Old islands AND new islands PLEASE!!!!!!
Please please please revert back to the old friend page, it was much more dynamic and it was easier to add friends
Hello Poptropica group! I would like to see you add something to the Realms. I am thinking that it would be cool if we could add NPCs to give your Realm a story (don't forget the NPC wardrobe!) and to be able to share your world with friends. Not the whole wide Poptropica world, but just friends. I hope you will listen to me and will hopefully implement it into the game! :)
photo booth please
Well besides the old islands lol, I would love the personality quizzes back or being able to see your medal collection. I miss that so much!
Yes those were so nice!!
It would be cool to be able to join islands together with friends, maybe like a Poptropica version of an escape room with friends even if it's a smaller island. We could join together similar to Zoom with a passcode so we can connect with our friends.
new islands?
my poptropica game isnt the newest update. why???
I personally am a nostalgic head, so I'd like a lot of old stuff to return,
I miss the minigames and comics,
The old shop items (That shrink ray island cannon game was the best) and I wish the sponsored islands weren't all membership only,
I have fond memories of playing islands which are now strictly member-locked.
I also prefer the old map, it felt more like a map and an actual world, the current sorting system map is ok, but honestly it'd be better if we could choose between the two.
A redesigned map would also be cool, like having the islands almost connect with one-another, like pirate ship roaming around near skullduggery, or a spaceship flying overhead nearby astro-knights.
With recreating old islands you'll probably not have time for making new ones, however we haven't had a proper new island in a long time. So here's what I propose, host an island designing contest! Players could write the story for an island, draw creatures/characters, and the winner could get a cameo of their character in the new island, they'd also receive a special medal for completing said island, instead of a simple gold medal it'd appear as a shiny lightened rainbow medal with some extra fluff on the outside perhaps? It'd be awesome for players to have their own stories cemented into the world of Poptropica, runner ups in the contest could get custom items tailored to the winning island's design, and participants would get credits depending on their placement. I'd love to see something like this so I hope you'd consider!
I have a big request! I remember how there was a home island quest from years ago where you find 8 pieces of a broken medallion. That was fun but what was even more fun was the monkey wrench quest! I dont see why you had to replace it with snagglemast, especially since monkey wrench island is the reason why amelia earhart is an important person in poptropica! Please bring the monkey wrench quest back! And maybe the home island quest too, but definitely monkey wrench
Honestly, I know we've said it before, but can we please #bringbacktheoldpoptropicaislands
Good Day Poptropica Team,
Thank you so much for making Poptropica so much fun to play with. I play this game with my siblings and we can't get enough if playing these fun islands. Besides bring back old islands, is it possible to create an island or a backstory of the main character we play as in Poptropica? Maybe getting to see the photos taken while adventuring on the islands, invite friends that are available to play minigames, or make new islands?
Thank you for making Poptropica fun to play!
Make the poptropica map organized. I'd love to scroll through the map and see all the original islands next to each other again. Also please make a way to change eye color and make hair multi colored
Also if you are gonna remaster and bring back older islands, i would recommend islands like poptropolus or reality tv island since those are basically minigame islands that have minimalistic plot which will let players have more fun for a longer amount of time then such islands as shark tooth or big nate which seem repetitive after the first play through. I always remember myself going back to reality tv or poptropolus every day when i was younger because there would always be something to perfect and the mixture of games made it seem fresher then islands with a set story.
have the rest of the monkey followers come back to the store or from the island's when you had them there before because i want the whole pack please
please make water thrill island i know you were not going to make it but it would have been a lot of fun well to me probably many others to and if there are no adds don't have the extra ad space please and what will happen to our old flash account after flash ends and i am a kid so you know why I am asking these questions.
have monkey wrench island come back and more small quest's on home island like when you had the one around valentine day in 2018 and the one around thanksgiving day to in 2018 pleaqse.
Can there be a way to get credits easily (like maybe 150-200 for redoing each island) because I noticed that my credit balance was the same after restarting and completing them. I am an old player, so I have already completed most of the islands before the stores started selling more expensive items. Also I want to see the photos brought back because I want to see the pictures from when I did Charlie and the Chocolate factory. I miss that island. And is it possible to bring back the old islands? I really, really miss them, they were so rich in story.
I believe we should have more islands like monster carnival. There was a thrilling mystery and traveled through different times. P.S we also need better blast off arcade games.
please please PLEASE bring back some old stuff! Maybe the old starting screen and store items? I really miss the old poptropica
have the costume winner come onto the haxe version of poptropica for limited time
I LOVE THIS GAME CAN YOU MAKE MORE ISLANDS?
great home island update i really like the ice cream thing.
PLEASE let me be able to delete my friends! I stayed in the arcade without doing anything and I got friended by someone that I didn't know about! HELP! Also I want to get more islands! And please make the Realms available in the app as well! By the way, I love Poptropica!
I would like Poptropica even more if the mobile app had all the features the website has, like all islands and the common rooms.
Uhhuh.Exactly.
id really appreciate it if the islands which members only have access to can free for the non members too!
I really miss the old Poptropica!!! I'm anxious to play again the old islands in this quarantine...
ditto
i completely agree. i miss all the old islands i used to play when i was younger, and it makes me sad that all i see now are 24 carrot, some advertisement for American Girl dolls, an "adventure" island and the comic book island....but none of these (except 24 carrot) can even compare to how much fun the old islands were. they need to make the new ones accessible to non-members as well...
I would love the ability to use the WASD keys to move. Muscle memory, and poptropica doesn't work well with trackpads. Love the game though. been playing it for basically a decade!
i wouldl ike it if Poptropica Had old friends list, home page, and new feature for friends, put on medal straight from the list rather than going all the way to the island, also bring back skin tone balloon
oh yeah i forgot to say this bring back monkey wrench the new tutorial is stinky
I am with you on that
The thing I would like to see most is some more non-member stuff. That's like, all I see now. I can't buy anything in my style at the store, you made my favorite island (Timmy Faliure) member only, and so many of the pet stuff is member only! I understand that is how you make alot of your money, but if you could stop making more and more islands member only, and put some cool non-member clothes in the shops (for GIRLS, you only really have boy non-member clothes now, and I'm not a tom boy).
The mobile app has TF. Am NM and stuck .
I would like two things. One, let us delete friends. I people keep somehow friending me even though I don't accept their request, and I'm not alowed to be friends with strangers! Second, please let us see the username of the player before we friend request them. And I don't mean "Daring Cheetah" or "Fast Medal". I mean their log in username. I accidentally friended someone thinking that they were my brother, then I realized I had no idea who they were.
I kinda want some old islands for non members too!
What about the pets some are only for members
yes that would be nice
I think you should bring back the Daily Pop. I know it takes time and expenses to make comics, but I wouldn't mind if the old comics were available! I also miss the daily question, too! It's really fun to answer questions about yourself that you don't really think about much! Anybody else with me?
definitly
I'd love for the friends page to have the photo album accessible again. That was an incredible feature that should return !
i really want old islands. Why make it membership?!?
you'll probably get people on tiktok advertising it and get more people to play the game if its not membership. And why is the paying EACH MONTH. Most importantly the people that play your game from years ago are usually teenagers. Most of our parents will say NO. Especially because were in quarantine and it doesn't benefit them. people are losing jobs and will most likely pass on the membership.
yeah me too
I just had this cool idea about a garage sales in Poptropica and is event during the summer and you can you use credits at different garage sale's to get old costumes that are not in Quippy because Dr hare is not in the Quippy shop of 24 carrot and ad items to from the past.
make the boss battle on counterfeit island a whole lot easier please.
make the poptropolis member quest a whole lot easier please.
can you make some new ad games or videos to get some prizes please. and Lego island comeback please along with water thrill island
legendary swords come back please
Bring back the islands from 2010-12! Miss them, haven't seen them in years now and would love to revisit.
It would be a dream come true, if you could make games to play with each other, that you can chat in. So that when I play with somebody i've seen before, I can say "Hello! Remember me from that over game we played?"
Can you re-add the ability to add friends? I have a new friend who also plays poptropica, but I can't add her. Also, why do new accounts come without the friend tab in your bag?
hmm... how to connect to friends?... well, you should start with re-adding the friends page. also maybe you could make some way so you could invite your friends to the resteraunt pop's in the treehouse?
that would be awesome. my restraunt is amazing and nobody can enjoy it! Hey poptropicans who are reading this, my name is white fox and if you are friends with me, PLEASE hit the clubhouse link and check out my restaurant. I will be there like all the time to see you and you can decide where to sit and enjoy the fun stuff.
-White fox
Okay, poptropica. I am going to list the things I am happy about, then the things I wish you would add. Here we go.
THINGS I'M HAPPY ABOUT:
1. You letting us have a say about the converting process.
2. Your hard work to keep poptropica going:D
3. POPTROPICA AIRLINE!!!
THINGS I WISH YOU WOULD ADD:
1. Photo booth
2. Old friends page
3. Arabian nights 1-3
4. Get an alert symbol, like a red exclamation mark, on our friend page button every time someone gives you a note cause I always ask my friends to meet me in the arcade and like 2 weeks later they notice it.
5.An island with really old-fashioned people with mysteries like mystery train would be nice.
6. Someone mentioned a Classifried island and that or another spy themed island sounds great:D
Thank you poptropica for making poptropica great. If there's anything you want me to do in return, IF it's something small and within my ability, I'll see if I can do it. Tell my friends about poptropica so you get more clients? Fine. Get membership more often so you get more money? Fine. Also, I'd appreciate it if you would keep us posted on how the converting process is going on the blog. Would love to know more about it and what you're working on now other than the airline. Thank you soooooo much!!!
-White fox
p.s You don't have to use any of these ideas if you don't want to, I'm just putting down what I would like to see :)
p.p.s sorry it's so long I just have so much to say about my favorite game :D
Ooh, I love the photo booth idea
open source islands
So. I realize the mods might not check on this post again as it's gettin' a bit old but it'd be great to have the old friends list again! With the island pictures and the tiny pop quizzes we got everytime we logged in! I miss those things so much ��
Realms going mobile would be awesome! For all I know though, if it took a whole year to fix realms when it broke, it could take another year to make it mobile.
adding doors only the owner can open so no one else can get in in poptroica realms would be nice for safe homes and guarding poptanium so no one can take it
please make it so you don't have to buy a membership to complete islands
yes
please add pvp
bring back club houses and realms
WE have clubhouses but better I like that there are no more tree's and yes bring back realms.
Honestly, this game is almost a shell of what it used to be. As some one who's been a player since around 2010 and on I was really disappointed to see all my hardwork of completing all the islands is gone. None of my favorite islands are available to play. I truly feel what made this game special is gone. To me, the emphasis seems to be placed on customization instead of the islands themselves. I think the newer islands have really lacked in creativity and fun. The older islands were fun but also challenging enough that an older player could still enjoy it. I honestly could care less that you have to pay for island access but there should be more available for free. The fact that I can't even play Time Tangled without paying speaks volumes. If you expect to keep long time fans of the game I'd really look at island design and availability.
