New Laptop!

Ahoy Pirates,

After months of waiting, and tons of errors and lag, I finally have my new laptop and I'm ready to plan tons of fun and events for this month! Today I test out my new laptop to see if I would have any problems on the game, not only for Pirate101, also for Wizard101. I had no trouble at all and the best of it was that I had no lag at all. :D I'm happy I can finally blog again each time I level on the game. Today I was on Pirate101 for 6 hours because I wanted to see if I'd have lag in the skyway or anywhere else on the game. I also leveled on a companion quest I needed to complete on my Witchdoctor.

I decided to take my first screenshot of the game on this laptop today and Hawkules really did a good job defeating Typhoon (Typhoon is the boss I had to defeat and then  promote Bat Masterson after I defeat him and turn the quest in). This was the longest companion quest I've ever leveled through! It took me a few hours, but I was a little busy in between leveling. I'm happy I decided to level through this quest because it proved this new laptop I have can handle the game. I don't really want to type up the posts I was planning on making today but I'm happy I made this one. I will type up the posts I was planning on making today and publish them tomorrow. Thank you for reading and I'm planning on hosting my first event on Pirate101 soon so make sure to keep an eye on my blog for details about the event I'm planning on hosting later this week! Until then, I'll see you around the Spiral!

900th Blog Post!

Hi there!

Wow.. I can't believe this is my 900th blog post. Okay.. I've made 900 blog posts on this blog so far! For me, that's a crazy amount of posting.. I started blogging in May 2010, and I'm still making blog posts. I was only expecting to blog a few years but blogging has actually become a fun hobby of mine. On this post, I really wanted to ask a few questions that I think you might be asking but not really, maybe, maybe not. Well.. we'll see! I want all of you to know more about why I blog about Pirate101 and Wizard101 and why I've kept at it for so long!

I'm sure many of you know that I started blogging about Wizard101 with my friend, Mary Dreamshade. Mary created a blog called Pie Loving Necromancer and I created a blog called... Wizard101! No.. I'm not lying to you, it's the truth. I didn't know what the name my blog and just named it Wizard101 only. LOL. I created this blog because The Friendly Necromancer, Thomas Lionblood, inspired me to blog. I continued to blog again in April 2011, after a hiatus. I didn't think I was doing a good job at blogging in 2010 (when I first created this blog) and didn't really know when to post or what to post about. In 2012, I started to blog about Pirate101 and enjoyed every single last moment of blogging, just like I did when I started to blog about Wizard101. I decided to submit my blog to Pirate101 for Official Blog status and was accepted after a few times. I know it took a few times for my blog to be accepted but never gave up. When I was accepted, I was proud, not that I wasn't before, I already had so much to be thankful for and this happened and it added to the list of things I'm really thankful for. I'm so happy this blog is official and I do plan on submitting for Wizard101 this year if they open applications again. I'm not submitting for any fame, codes, or anything like that. I'm submitting because I want to bring the community together this year (and the next few years). I have plans starting this year for doing the same thing for Pirate101. I had so many computer issues and couldn't really talk to anyone on the game, have events, or attend events since I had the computer issues. I know this year is going to be fun and I bet you by post #1000 you'll be surprised. :) I have so many plans this year (of my own, not going to give any hints) and can't wait to share them with you! Thank you all so much for reading this blog, and if you're new to the blog, please know you're important to me not because of the view or follow, because you're part of the community that I love and I want to blog my adventures and have events for everyone to enjoy. If you have a question about something on the game or need help, let me know, I have a contact page below the followers of this blog. I always answer direct messages and emails! Okay, before I make this post longer than it needs to be, I'm going to stop typing now. Now! No... NOW! Wait.. I need to say one more thing.. Thank You

Official Wizard101 Fansites

Hello Wizards,

I've been thinking about something that's been bothering me lately.. The wizard101 fansites.. Do they deserve it? No, that's not the question that's bothering me. All fansites deserve their status, so do blogs, youtubers, wizards, pirates, well maybe not the Armada or Morganthe.. What's bothering me is that a few wizards in the community think official sites don't deserve official status. I have to disagree! I'm not an official wizard101 blog but I do agree that every single blogger even if they're not official *counting those who don't own a blog and are part of the community* do not deserve to be bullied for being notice by Kingsisle or by the community. If you ask me, everyone deserves the spotlight but don't if all they do is bully someone for being accepted as an Official Blog. I'm not going to mention names, but every single fansite on the wizard101 fansite List is awesome and do a lot of work. I don't have an official wizard101 blog but I do have a pirate101 blog and know it's hard work to prepare all of the contests and send out codes, make blog posts, and try to quest at the same time. It takes hard work but I love doing it! I remember one time I tried to stop blogging when questing on the game and I kept taking pictures because I love taking pictures to share with you all on my blog posts! If someone enjoys something they do with all of their heart and take their time to share what they love to do with you, you should be happy for them! If you don't like them, you're not being forced to view their blog. This post isn't just about official fansites, it's also about everyone in the community. We have so many people in the community and everyone should be accepted for who they are/ what they are doing in the community. If you tried to submit for wizard101 fansite and you're mad about Kingsisle being accepted, then maybe you don't really deserve the status. I've been trying for a long time, about 4 years now but I'm not giving up that easy, but that may not mean I deserve the status. If I don't, I'm still going to blog about the game because I love to. Please try your best, don't give up on something just because of something like that. I would like to thank Kingsisle for adding a link to your fansite list and I appreciate what every single fansite owner does and everyone that uses/views their site. You do so much for the community and I'm thankful for you! I'm happy for all of you and hope you get this message. THANK YOU!

Witchdoctor's Lab

Ahoy Pirates,

I'm sure you've heard by now that Kingsisle release a Vine Video of a Witchdoctor's Lab. Lately, Kingsisle has released a lot of spoilers of things that will be released on this game and this makes me think of all of the other spoilers they released in the past few months. Could this recent spoiler be related to the other released, Completely Barmy, or just something on it's own? I have that feeling a new main world is going to be released soon but it makes me think that all of the spoilers Kingsisle has been releasing are spoilers that will be released with a main world.

I'm really wondering what the Witchdoctor's Lab could be. A few pirates around the spiral think it could have something to do with crafting or housing (if that's so, all schools might have a lab or house- maybe). I'm thinking it could have something to do with crafting but we won't know until it's released. I guess we'll have to keep looking at that vine until it's released.. Ah! I can't wait until Kingsisle releases all of the spoilers. I love spoilers, they always excite me for the next update to the game. What do you think KI is planning on releasing? Do you think this Witchdoctor's Lab could have something to do with all schools for crafting? Or could it be something more, like new additions to Avery's Court? Let me know what you think.

Edward the Vampire OR Edward the Pirate?

Ahoy Pirates,

I'm sorry I haven't made a Swashbuckler post in awhile. I have been busy in real life and haven't really been able to blog. I'm back now and ready to blog. Before I begin with today's quest I would like to remind you on what happened the last time I quest on my swashbuckler, Edward Cringle. On my last blog post I had to defeat Three Scars for Brother Wolf's one last quest he wanted me to complete. The first thing I had to do before defeating Three Scars was sinking Black Storm Raider ships. That wasn't difficult at all, I ended up having help from another pirate! After I was done sinking the ships I had to sail to a vortex to defeat Three Scars, hopefully once and forever. I didn't have much trouble defeating him since I hired a minion from the crowns shop. Sometimes you have to hire minions from the crowns shop, they are so helpful (since you get to command the minions what attacks to attack with and all) and don't even cost that much crowns! After I was done defeating Three Scars, I had to sail back to Bison Village to tell Raven Eyes the good news. I ended up finally restoring peace to the spirit world! After all of the month's of work I finally completed that part of the quest.. Keep reading this post to see what will happen next!

Raven Eyes was grateful that I completed all of the quests to restore peace not only to the Spirit World but for the Bison. Raven Eyes wasn't the only one pleased, Thunderbird was too! Raven Eyes told me that I needed to return to her totem and she'd end up answering all of my questions. I have one question.. I've been on this certain quest for awhile now and I don't really remember the main question. Is that bad?! Eh. She didn't really remind me when I talk to her but I guess I'll find out one of these days! Hey, I'm only a pirate, sometimes we pirates forget things (maybe I'm the only pirate that forgets). Wait.. no... I can't forget. I'm the strongest pirate on the game! You're a level 65 Swashbuckler? So what! I can sink your ship and I'm only kidding around right now. Here I am talking to myself again, well when I'm typing this it's like I'm talking to myself and I really need to stop before you question if I'm okay or not. Where was I? Oh yeah.. After I finished talking to Raven Eyes, I ended up talking to Thunderbird again!

When I summoned Thunderbird she did answer a few of my questions, the I don't really remember but I'm sure I will once I'm done with this blog post questions. Thunderbird reminded me that I had to seek English Bill, an enemy of mine, but the only way I could harm English Bill is by finding silver bullets. Thunderbird also told me I can find English Bill on the Hill of Boots once I find the silver bullets. She told me I needed to find Silver first, well if I'm sure if I don't I'll just end up being defeated so it's time to find some silver! I had to talk to Silver Horn to see if he knew where I could find silver for the bullets and he told me that I can find silver in a Mine in Cooper's Roost. Now it's time to tell you why this post is named Edward the Vampire or Edward the Pirate?! Don't worry I'm not having neck pain, well I will if I'm bitten and I better not be bitten. I know my name is Edward but I WILL NOT be bitten by a vampire, I'm Edward the Pirate! Once I arrived to the Mine, I met up with a vampire bat, Bat Masterson. From there I have to end this post since I already made a long enough post today. I have to stop now but don't worry, I will have plenty more posts this month! Until then, read the dialog in the picture below and I'll see you next time. No... I'm not going to laugh about the dialog.. Edward the Vampire or Edward the Pirate?
