Happy 4th Birth-O-Ween, Pirate101!

Ahoy Pirates!

It's officially Pirate101's 4th Birthday! I can't believe 2012 was four years ago.. Time is flying by! Today marks FOUR years since Pirate101 was released to the public after Alpha and Beta testing. I was lucky enough to be part of the last few days of Alpha Testing and started Beta Testing Pirate101 with a few lucky Pirates that were given Beta keys.

Shortly after Beta and the NDA, we were allowed to share screenshots and videos. You know I love taking screenshots of the game, so I had plenty to share with the community! This game is just as amazing now as it was four years ago. The storyline is my favorite part of this game, with the graphics coming in at a second favorite. IF you haven't played this game yet, you really should download it and try it out. At the end of the day, it's helping Kingsisle continue to be the amazing company that they've always been! 

2012:  Pirate101 Super Beta Bash!

Thank you, Kingsisle for such an amazing game! I want this game to continue it's storyline and I hope more players will join the game once again. This game has so much to do, there's really no way you could get bored with Pirate101 since there is so much to do. This is an amazing game and everyone (including wizards) should really think about trying it out. Happy 4th Birth-O-Ween, Pirate101!

Wizard101: Mirage Confirmed!

Hello Wizards!

Tom and Leah announced a new world for Wizard101 on Kingsisle Live today!  They gave a concept art teaser on this episode! I was able to take a few screenshots so I thought I'd share them with you. :D

The talk is that Mirage is expected to be released sometime next month in the Test Realm and hopefully we'll have the new world by Christmas! This is going to be a lot of fun. I can't wait to see if we get new spells OR new pets. If we get new pets, I want my Frost Giant pet on my ice wizard and Storm Lord pet on my storm wizard! :P Well... Here's the concept art teaser. Thank you for the amazing episode of KI Live, Tom and Leah!

Am I A Wizard101 Fansite Owner?

Hello Wizards,

To answer that question right away, No. I wanted to clarify this in a new post after I made my new blog post and all of the new Wizards that has found out about this website after the Contests that I've announced.

Are The Contest Codes Official?

Yes. The codes that I receive are from our awesome Kingsisle community manager, Tom Purdue, and I'm extremely lucky to be able to give these codes away to the community. I really do love giving these away and these recent codes have helped out a lot to promote the Halloween Run.

- I will NEVER ask for personal information in return for codes, only that you follow the rules of my contests.

- As I said before, these codes are from Kingsisle, so there's no need to worry about them being fake.


Not Pretending To Be A Wizard101 Fansite Owner

I've had this website since May of 2010. I love making blog posts about the game because I love the game. I'm not doing this for codes, fame or anything else. I genuinely love Wizard101 and Pirate101. I wouldn't care if I was a Wizard101 fansite owner or not. The only way I'd care is if I wasn't able to blog anymore - which I hope will never happen. :P

I promise I'll never pretend to be something I'm not, but I'll still be making posts and having special events on the game. I mean, they're fun! It takes a lot of work to do all of that, but I don't mind, because this game and the community helped me through a lot more than you know. I also love having these events for everyone to make new friends! Everyone deserves to have a friend. I can't tell you the number of great people I have met through Wizard101 events!


I am a Pirate101 Fansite Owner

I've been a Pirate101 Fansite owner since November of 2012. I also love Pirate101! I was accepted to be a fansite owner for my Pirate101 blog (which you can read by clicking on the Pirate101 Label on the sidebar). I don't make as many blog posts as I did due to school and life, but I'm still a huge fan of both games! These games and the community mean a lot to me and that's the only reason I'm still here after 7 (going on 8) years of Wizard101 and over 4 years of Pirate101. I hope this post clarified everything for you.

If you are worried, don't be afraid to email community@wizard101.com or community@pirate101.com to ask. It's always good to do that if there is a website that gives away codes because you never know if they could be lying. But I'll assure you, if I was, this website would have been taken down years ago! Thank you all for reading. Until next time, I'll see you around the Spiral.

Wizard101: Is The New Halloween Pack Worth The Money?

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a great week. I know I am because Kingsisle has surprised us with another game card pack, the Gloomthorn Nightmare Pack, which costs 299 crowns in the Wizard101 Crowns Shop. A lot of wizards have either said this pack is one of the most amazing packs, or it isn't worth the crowns. I decided to give you my take on this new pack!

From new moon staffs, a Jack-O-Lantern Pet that has the card (Headless Horseman), to the Gloomthorn Vine and Bat Swarm Mounts, I'll have to say that this new pack is pretty awesome! I know many of you will think that I'm only saying this because I'm a fansite owner, but that's not the reason at all. 

• Halloween in '09: In 2009, and a few years after that, we didn't have all of these special items on the game. I actually loved Halloween on Wizard101 in 2009 because of the quests that Jack Hallow gave us and of course Spooky Bob provided us with the Black Cat.
• Halloween Today: Today, we have new quests from Dworgyn, transformations, new mounts, packs, spells, new Halloween-themed housing decorations, and much more. Any additional Halloween-themed features, such as this new pack, is pretty cool. So as a long-time player of Wizard101, I will say that this new pack is AWESOME. Thank you, Kingsisle!
