About Me (W101 UK)

Hello Wizards!

This is my very first post only about Wizard101 UK! So I just made a character a few weeks ago and I am sure everyone knows what the character's name is. If not, its Edward Lifegem! Now Edward Lifegem is on the Uk server and on the Us server! I will be giving the link to my blog to some of my new friends on wizard101 uk so if you guys want to know more about me and when I joined Wizard101 click on the read more option!




I first joined wizard101 ( us) on August of 2009. Ever since I started playing wizard101 I have been very addicted to the game. I am sure anyone can agree with that if they play wizard101 :) Well I have been so addicted to the game that I have already made a lot of characters at high levels. Here is a list of my characters on the us server..

Edward Lifegem- Level 60 Life
Edward Wintergem- Level 61 Ice
Edward Firegem- Level 70 Fire
Edward Stormgem- Level 70 Storm
Edward Legendgem- Level 60 Balance
Edward Mythgem- Level 60 Myth
Edward Deathgem- Level 60 Death
Edward- Level 60 Death
Edward Winterbreeze- Level 32 Ice

It took forever to level all of these characters, but all of them are my favorite school. Even though I started not liking balance when I first started the game, its now part of my favorites along with the other schools. So other than being on Wizard101 the game, lets talk about this blog!


This blog was made May of 2010. I started blogging a little bit during that year, not much though. I only made about 18 posts that year and then I quit because I didn't really enjoy it. Then I started blogging again last April and I started to love blogging! I had contests on my blog for the us server and really enjoyed having others read my sometimes weird posts :) Other times I have made very long posts like this one should be after I am done. I hope all of you can read through without getting too bored :) My posts are sometimes about pets on the game, or leveling on the game and showing everyone where I am at. I also post about never giving away your passwords if you do, you will lose your account. I  usually post about that to warn all of my readers that your account can be stolen if you do decide to give your password away. Even though this post isn't about that, NEVER give your password away. Just a little first post warning. So let me tell you some of my favorite spells and more about myself down below.



First of all, I usually don't give away my age to everyone, but I will this time. Giving another warning about giving your age to everyone, make sure not tell anyone on the game your age or personal information about yourself. Well I am 18 years old, and I am from the United States! The first time I found out about Wizard101 was when I was watching t.v. and before I turned the channel I was watching a wizard101 commercial. I thought it was very cool so I decided to play the game. I created an account and I loved it! That goes along with my post about myself up above :) So after I started playing the game, my first favorite spell was frost giant, still is my favorite spell! My other favorites are storm lord, snow angel, and one that didn't come out which I will not mention until its released in Wizard101 Uk.


Well, It looks like you made it to the end of the post! Congrats :D It took forever to type for me and almost made me tired- still morning here- I hope you guys enjoyed my first post about wizard101 uk and myself. Thanks for reading everyone!

Big Plans!

Hello Wizards,

This Summer is going to be big for Atswel! I am planning a lot of things for my blog and wizard101. I know I haven't been on much to start off a bunch of posts for the end of 2011 or the beginning of 2012, don't worry its going to chance soon, my big plans aren't just for Summer!




Goals and Plans from now until Summer
Some of my goals for Summer would be to reach 150 followers before May, that would be very great goal for me :) Every time I get a new follower I just want to keep blogging a lot more than I should, which is a great thing for me! Another goal would be to score some great interviews with some of the community leaders, that would be a very fun thing to do and I am sure the people who are fans of the community leaders- including me- would enjoy reading interviews from them- that will be soon, I am hoping. - One last goal would be to have more contests like I did when I first started blogging again, I love having contests and showing those who follow that I am appreciative  that they are following. Oh and I will be having a big contest very soon, I said that a week ago, but lately I have had a lot more going on. Don't worry I will still have it :)



My plans for this blog are very good, and I hope that you guys will stick along with my spelling skills.. I mean blogging :D - If you have added me on the game, you know exactly what I am talking about.. So on with the plans.. I am planning on having just like I said above, more contests, great interviews with community leaders, maybe an interview with Kingsisle, I don't know if that will happen or not though since they are very busy and don't really know who I am :P  Oh I also have a big plan for my youtube account. I am planning on uploading more videos of strong hits and new things that are released in Wizard101, I will be putting every new video I have on blog posts and my youtube page located here: http://edwardwintergem.blogspot.com/p/my-youtube-videos.html  Another plan I have kept to myself lately, I have also thought about blogging for Wizard101 Uk and Wizard101 US :) This goes along with my read more option I just added to my blog recently. On a new post for Wizard101 US I will put the name of the post and (w101usa). A new blog post for wizard101uk will be labeled (w101uk) I think this is a great idea for my blog and I hope everyone thinks its a great idea :) Well I am finally done with this post! It actually took forever for me to write, I am hoping it doesn't take too long for you all to read! Have fun, hopefully :)



See you in the Spiral!

UPDATE- Sopa & Pipa

Hello everyone,



This post is about what's going on so far with these new bills. Click on the read more tab to read updates of whats going on so far..




Washington Post just announced that Google has exceeded 7 million signatures on the petition against the Sopa & Pipa acts which will mess up most of the internet. If you would like to sign the petition and you haven't yet, go to this link: https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/

This is very important that Google gets as much signatures as possible, because if they pass the bill, I am sure my blog along with many others- not just wizard101- will be taken down. That would be terrible to see all of the bloggers not getting to blog anymore :( This will not only mess up blogger, it will also mess up Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Wikipedia, and thousands of other sites.. Make sure to tell Congress no, we need to show them that we are part of this too, its not only them. So sign the petition and I am sure if they see 10 million + people signed the petition against these bills they will understand.. hopefully.


Another update from Wikipedia is that 162 million+ had a chance to see their blackout yesterday. Hopefully that means 162 million people don't agree with this bill and will say no to congress. If you want more information from Wikipedia go to this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more



Okay that's it for this post, until at least next week if they vote no, I won't be blogging about Wizard101. I am hoping they do vote no, so everyone can blog. Its very important, if you think its not, It really is and you will see if they do vote yes. Thanks for reading everyone and make sure to check out those links. See you guys later!

SOPA & PIPA

Hello,


Today this blog post about something very important that might- if passed- shut down every single blogger- not just Wizard101 bloggers all of them- and it will also make the internet different than it is today. Click the read more tab if you want to see more about this..




Ditto made a blog post about this act, and I think its very important you all do go to his site and read everything on his recent blog post: http://www.ditto.p101/2012/01/18/ditto-talks-about-sopa-and-pipa/#more-1994

In his blog post he mentions everything about these 2 acts, and everyone needs to read his post and watch his new video.


If you don't want any of the blogs shut down, including a lot of other sites millions of people suggest you go to this link and tell congress NO on sopa and pipa. https://www.google.com/landing/takeaction/
Google and Wikipedia and a lot of other sites are against this act, and I am too- along with millions of people. Please sign it, tell Congress no, and maybe they won't pass this new act. Lets get a million more people to say no about this.

Everyone who blogs about Wizard101 or anything else, make sure to make a blog post about this and show the google link up. It will help!





Thanks for reading,
