Easter Bunny Run & Chopper Warrior Gift Run Recap!

Hello Wizards!

I want to thank each and every one of your for attending the events last night. It truly was a lot of fun and really a great way to get the community together again. I would also like to thank Kaitlyn Soulrider for getting both the Bunnies and Choppers together to have fun at the event (plus Gabby made an awesome video the other day to spread the word - HERE)! I have to thank everybody for doing what they did because it was a very busy day, yesterday. We had well over 100 people combined for both events. The Chopper Run didn't go as planned (which was my fault - I'm sorry about that) from a lot of confusion, but I'm glad that we got to still have everyone join the bunny run and have fun at the afterparty event shortly after. :D I hope I can have another event with Kaitlyn sometime again because I still think it was amazing how many wizards got together for these two events. :) I also had so much help from co-hosts Autumn Dreamwalker, Frostcaller, Ian Stormstaff, Fallon Fireblade and Paige Moonshade. Thank you all so much for your help! :D If you would like to view videos of the event, click on the videos below. Do me a favor and click on the videos below and give them a like if you enjoyed this event!








There really was a lot going on, as you can see from the videos above (and pictures in the slideshow). The main goal was to get everyone together and we did just that! I think we had over four different areas in one realm which met Autumn and I had to make sure you were able to make it to the afterparty and know what was happening. :) Codes and Prizes were also given away by the co-hosts of the Bunny Run and Chopper Warrior Gift Run at the afterparty in Frostcaller's House and Fallon Fireblade's maze! Did you know that many arrived about 5-6 hours early (sometimes even days early)! These events were a lot of fun and I'm still glad I got to work with the Choppers to get everyone together again. I hope we'll be able to get everyone in the community together again sometime! I hope all of you had fun at the event. I'm glad I could talk to you and I wish I could have spoke with all of you, but I was busy running around in circles. Literally! :P It was chaos on my part, but I don't regret this event at all! 



Events like this do take a lot of planning, especially when a lot more arrive. I really hope to have more events with the Choppers and my other co-hosts, especially this Summer after the semester is over. I love getting the community together mostly because I remember how hard everyone worked together in the past to do the same for the community. I think I took over 100 screenshots for my post too while getting everything together. I see many of the wizards who attended the event also had screenshots to share. I wanted to share many of those with you INCLUDING a few drawings during and after the event. These two events were a lot of fun and I hope you all had a lot of fun too. Here are the amazing screenshots and images that I wanted to share with you. :) I can't include everyone's names on these because of time, but I would still like to thank all of you for attend our events! :D

Wizard101's Easter 2016!

Hello Wizards!

I can't believe Easter is only a few days away! Today Wizard101's Eggbert made it to the Spiral with his original Springtime items AND new Baaterfly Pets only in the Wizard101 Crowns Shop for 3,000 Crowns! These new pets are a sheep with butterfly wings (Yellow - Blue Wings, Blue - Orange Wings, or Pink - Purple Wings). If you would like more information about these pets and other items that are now in the Wizard101 Crowns Shop, just click HERE or anywhere on the image below. By the way! I'm planning on giving some of these awesome new pets away soon. I hope to see you at my Easter Bunny Run on Friday at 3:00 P.M. CST in the Commons (Vampire Realm). :D

Are Fansite Owners Kingsisle Puppets?

Hi there,

I remember creating my ice wizard on Wizard101 back in 2009. This was the very first time I played the game after seeing a commercial on tv about it. I joined the game not knowing what fansites, the community or even blog posts were. I created my blog in 2010 after seeing Tom's amazing website "The Friendly Necromancer". So far I've made 1,300 different Wizard101 & Pirate101 related blog posts! I'm extremely proud of my website even if I wasn't a fansite owner. I have so many memories that I can search for and remember how much I have learned since a certain dungeon I might have had trouble on back in 2011.

As mentioned before, I'm a Pirate101 Fansite owner. I was very lucky to be accepted by our amazing W101 & P101 Community Managers as a Pirate101 fansite owner back in 2012 (and again last June after my break from both games - because of school). What is a fansite owner? Fansite owners are community members that should love the game just as much as you do but have a website that they have spent a lot of time and money on. They should be doing the things that they should for the love of the community and Kingsisle games and not for codes or attention.

Kingsisle has done things that I don't agree with, but I know they listen which is awesome. I've been in the community nearly five years (in a few weeks) and I know they have listened to players after many complaints. Last year, many players have complained about Kingsisle not releasing any upcoming Pirate101 teasers about updates saying the game would be shut down. Kingsisle said on the December Producer's Letter that they would release a new teaser on a Feedback Friday (which they did early last month). Pirate101 is still going to shut down according to those who said they wouldn't release a spoiler. LOL! I have to laugh about that because Kingsisle is apparently hard at work on new updates. I've been optimistic, and apparently being optimistic is not a good thing.

I've been criticized for supporting Kingsisle through tough times. I'm a fansite owner and I'm a puppet. Uh... no. I could post many blog posts from the past that prove that I'm not a "Kingsisle Puppet". I've supported Kingsisle and the community for many years and being called names is really sad. I created this blog before I even knew what a fansite was. If you read my first blog post, you'll read that I wanted everyone to play Wizard101 because I enjoy playing it. This first blog post was made nearly six years ago. I love Kingsisle games and the community even if Kingsisle emailed me today and said that they didn't want me on their fansite list. I created this blog for memories. I am NOT a puppet.

Fansite owners work hard, even if it doesn't seem like it. I don't always have time to make posts with school, but when I do, I try my best to make it the best post or event for everyone. All of the other fansite owners do too. All bloggers really work hard on their blogs just for you to read. If somebody doesn't own a website and makes tweets about how much they love a game, ruining their day because you'd rather hurt others does not mean you're right and everything you say will go. If it did, I'd ask you for the next lottery ticket numbers, really! Please, respect others. It seems that many forget the true meaning of respect. It might seem that I'm rude making this post, but I wanted to get it out and let everyone know that I'm not a Kingsisle Puppet because I love the game.
