Internal Error 2

Hello Wizards,

I have no idea what's happening with Wizard101 but recently I've had a lot of problems with Wizard101. I've had a problem with an Error called Internal Error 2 for about a month. Everyday I log on, I start questing and all of a sudden the game freezes for a couple of seconds and my screen turns blank and errors start popping up. Most of the time 10-15 error screens pop up telling me that there's been an internal error. I've contacted Kingsisle and they don't know what the problem is and I have no idea what's happening or why its happening. I don't think its on my side though since my computer is fine and I can still play Pirate101 with no problem at all. I've checked every single last thing, I've done a recovery, deleted and downloaded the game again and I'm still having this issue. I've never had this issue before and it just started about a month ago. I need to know if anyone else is experiencing issues like this. A wizard on Twitter told me they were and its making me wonder if its happening to anyone else that reads my blog and is having the same issue. Are you having this same issue? Here's details below of what is happening to me:

• This issue usually happens when I try switch areas or run into a different area in Avalon, but, the issue only happened once when I was in the commons just standing around. The computer blanks out and then popups show up telling me there's been an error. I play this game on my Compaq computer. I have never had this problem before this past month. 

IF you're having this same issue/Internal Error 2 please comment below and tell me, I need to know if this is happening to anyone else so I can send this post to Kingsisle to show them so they can fix the issue for us. I'm not having trouble logging onto the game so that's not the issue, this error happens when I'm the game questing. 

12 Days of Autumn- Pet Farming Recap + NXP Today!

Ahoy Pirates,

Earlier this week I attended another of Autumn Walker's great events for 12 Days of Autumn, the 10th day. This time we got to farm for pets from Tyson the Chicken guy... chicken... boxer... uh. Yeah! Anyways... We farmed him for our pets, I'm not really good with farming and winning things but I still had fun even though I could only stay five minutes since I was busy that night.

I didn't take too many pictures for this event but I'm hoping I'll get to attend the NXP Autumn has planned for her last day of 12 Days of Autumn. Lets show her how many pirates can show up today for her NXP Party! You can level your ship level a lot by coming to an event like this which is pretty awesome. I'm planning on going to her last event on my Swashbuckler, Edward Cringle. I'm hoping I can make it today. If you'd like to learn more about where to meet up and everything just click HERE.
