New Wizard101 Content (Test Realm)

Hello Wizards!

As you may have heard, Kingsisle released another new area/world on the test realm. There's not a new level cap just yet (which is great- can't wait to talk about this).. This new world comes with Gods such as Zeus! I got to fight him today. Now before I give out anymore detail.. If you would like to access the test realm so you can test out the new features that are planned to be released to the test realm.. Make sure you have bought a $10 worth of crowns or a Membership in the past 30 days so you can have access to the Wizard101 Test Realm. Once you log onto the test realm if you're level 30 or higher, speak to Cyrus Drake in the Myth Classroom for a new quest called "Quest For Glory". There are three dungeons you can participate in and they are pretty long. You'll get to participate and win nice new awards (such as wands), at levels 30+, 70+ and 90+.  Not only are there dungeons... they are also new minions for wizards higher than level 75. You can check out the test realm updates notes of the new minions and all of the other great updates by clicking on the image to the right!

Hi there!

Recently I've been busy with contests and leveling on Wizard101/Pirate101 that I didn't have time to make this post. For some time I have had social networks that I share my new blog posts on when published a few minutes after and I tell everyone when I'm having contests or when I'm going to hide codes (like I am on my find-a-code contest). IF you would like to, I have an official Facebook and Twitter you can follow for any updates on my blog. Click on the pictures to the right for a link to Around the Spiral's Facebook and Twitter.

Captain Edward Hawkins

Ahoy Pirates,

Yesterday I made a new pirate on Pirate101. Before I actually made the new pirate I had to ask Twitter which school they think I should make. All of the schools on Pirate101 are all great and that made it difficult for me to choose. About three pirates said Musketeer so that's the school I chose!

That's a nice view of Skull Island.
My Uh..... First Ship??
I'm glad I made a new pirate to quest on when I'm not blogging with Edward Cringle. I might make a few posts of his leveling but I don't have any plans to make any posts as of yet. I really wanted to show you where I am on the game so you know me a little better! I hope to see you in the skyways and if you do see me, make sure to say ahoy! I'll add you as a friend. - Edward Hawkins, Level 5 Musketeer.

Wizard101 and Pirate101 aren't free because....?

Hi there,

There's always questions floating around the spiral and I decided to pick one that I've seen a lot lately. Why aren't the games Wizard101 & Pirate101 free? We have to remember they are free-to-play which means free to download and play a bit. This is awesome because you get to try it out before you even have to pay for it. If you've ever bought video games, you can look at it on the internet but you can't really try it out yourself until you buy it. Sometimes after someone buys a video game (anything actually), sometimes they don't like it and that means they have to return it or deal with it. With the Kingsisle games, you get to try it out before you buy it; I'm sure everyone loves the games once they try it out because that's why this certain question is floating around because they are very nice games. I am glad they aren't free! If they were free... well they wouldn't even last a minute because they have to pay bills (I'm pretty sure the electricity bill is HIGH), they have to buy computers/hardware, all employees have to be payed so they can continue to help and improve the games. Its going to be like this for the rest of our lives because nothing will be free... well sometimes there are free things but not always! We want Kingsisle to continue many years.. decades... centuries? Millenniums? LOL Well however long it lasts... which I'm sure will last quite sometime... I'm sure one day everyone will realize why we had to pay in the first place.

Will Wizard101 Continue releasing new worlds?

Hello Wizards!

Recently there's been questions about Wizard101's new main world and once the level cap goes up it'll be level 100! That's quite a lot of levels, and we have a lot of worlds we've had so far. We've had a lot of new pets, spells, mounts and much more since the beginning of the game. I believe Kingsisle will still release many more main worlds with a lot of levels. Why do I think that? Well.. W101 is still releasing new commercials. Kingsisle is a very successful game company and they will continue to make new content/worlds for the game as long as we play. I've seen this many times in the past few years. I can't wait to see what W101 has to offer us with the next world though. They have been taking their time which is great! I'm waiting for some new gear. I can't speak for Kingsisle but if they stop releasing new worlds for Wizard101 it'll be the biggest mistake they could make, the same with Pirate101. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Kingsisle makes a lot of money and that can help with all of their other games they have released or plan to release... There's really a lot of reasons I believe Wizard101 will continue and I can't name all of them since this post would go on forever and you'd probably get tired of reading, but I have a few more reasons. When J Todd Coleman resigned the end of January I noticed everyone started to worry a bit more about the future worlds and if the level 90-100 world would be the last one. I don't think so at all! Lets bring Pirate101 into this. Recently P101 released two new worlds and the level cap raised from 50-65. If they keep doing that every 6 months with 15 levels and two new worlds in a matter of a year from now the level cap will be level 90. Pirate101 hasn't been here long and it has a 101 after it also. There's no way it'll end that quick with all of the work they put into the game. I believe the same thing with Wizard101, 5 years just to end the game? I don't think so. This game has over 30 million players alone! There's no way they'll end the content with that many players. I'm only a Pirate101 Fansite owner and I'm not speaking for Kingsisle, but if you ask me.. I know this game will continue for many more years. If I'm wrong and they do end the game I'll be one upset wizard and I'm sure 30 million other wizards will be upset also. Do you think the game will end this year? Or do you think it'll continue? Comment below I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks for reading!
