    I did some digging myself because of this video and yes, the old islands were removed because of flash. They were/are updating the islands. There doesn't seem to be an exact date of when the islands will be back though. However, if anyone is interested, there does seem to be a backdoor method of playing the old islands using "flashpoint" which is a project that aims to archive old flash games.

      @@mypointisinvalidbut7010 you can log on every so many weeks to see what's on the map. They're *probably* recoding the easier ones first. It's obviously going to be slow and tedious but a bunch of stuff is slowly coming back. They have new stuff but it doesn't look like a ton.
      Also, if you still have it you should keep logging on your old account every once in a while so it won't get deleted. Membership is added so most of the stuff in the store that was recoded is under membership, so what you didn't get previously you most likely can't get without membership.
      The old islands that are up so far seem to be accessible to old players without the membership but are apparently membership required for newer accounts.

    I have extremely fond memories playing Astrokinghts Island, it really does feel like the best island they ever made. The setting, story, and scope were far greater than anything we had seen or would ever see again.
    As you mentioned in your playthough, the medieval setting crossed with robotics was an exceptionally cool aesthetic and the mystery of who Mordred was was extremely interesting. Like who was this guy? He's clearly behind all these advancements (which is good) but he also seems to have been cast out (which is bad). He supposedly created crimes against nature (which is bad) but we meet one of his creations (the owl) who seems helpful and nice.
    Is Mordred good or is he evil? Is he alive or is he dead? It's so fascinating how he's the most important character in the story, yet you don't even know it he's alive until the very end. He's an impressively complex character that is so well incorporated into the mystery and aesthetic of the Island and was critical to the plot even though you don't actually meet him until the very end.
    And the setting does a great job of foreshadowing his return without even letting you know 100%. Like his experiments with combing living things with robots explain how he survived and you are fighting all these weirdly robotic creatures before you get to him. I always suspected he was connected to the great evil we were fighting but I never knew for sure. It's a great example of the setting informing the story and that's hard to pull off in any game let alone an internet flash game for kids!
    And on top of all of this, Astroknights was one the hardest islands to complete gameplay wise. You were always mentally puzzled and challenged by what to do next. This combined with the greater scope (you were literally traveling to different planets!), fantastic story, and intriguing aesthetic really solidified Astroknight as the best Island ever made! Bravo Jeff Kinney, bravo!

We didn't get much time, but it was better than nothing. I even remember helping people out, since I was far into the game. I had a friend outside of school, who helped me. So it kinda went a full circle. I even remember this one time: a girl I had a crush on asked for help in the game. She gave me her account info and told me to play for her. Later that same day, she changed her mind. I went back home, still with the slip of paper with the info on it. I didn't open and read it at all. I decided I would honor her wishes and just throw it away. And I did.
    I don't remember what the last island I played was, since they kept releasing new stuff. But I will say that the first few islands were my favorite, since those were there from the beginning. I have long since forgotten the account details. But it was very fun while it lasted.

      There's a few times in my life where my world suddenly felt bigger, exciting and filled with potential, like getting my own computer, my driver's license, and I'm sure I'll get it again when I move out soon. But the first time I remember it was when I created a Poptropica account

    I know this is an old video, but I just wanted to let people know that the old islands are still playable! Flashpoint archive has the old poptropica islands available to play, so if you're like me and this video sparked your desire to relive them, you can! Seriously amazing video though, sent me back to elementary school real quick haha

    The only thing I can remember when I played poptropica is that like time piece. So you’d travel between different time periods and you would have to go between them in order to solve riddles and puzzles. It was honestly a really good idea because you’d have to keep track of different items and people in different time periods and travel through like 12 mini worlds with different little side quests

    This is giving me such a weird version of nostalgia. I remember a lot of this, but so much of it is new and different, and some things I remember are even missing. At least they seem to still have Cryptids, which traumatized me as a kid because of the part where the Jersey Devil pops up in front of the window.
