I hope you're having a great Monday. I wanted to talk about a recent event that I cohosted with, Autumn Walker, from Secrets of the Spiral. We had a gold-farming event on Saturday, where we went to farm Friar Sand in Mooshu.
Friar Sand is located in the Temple of the East Wind, North Landing. If you have a group, you can actually make a lot of extra gold all at once. We went through with Doubloons for extra Gold, and four people to get even more gold depending on how many enemies appear. If you don't feel like farming with anyone, you can always farm alone, but it's always fun to talk to everyone while you're farming.
I had a lot of fun and I want to thank everyone who was able to attend this event. We didn't promote it as much as we usually promote events, but it was nice seeing part of the Pirate101 community there. We may have more Pirate101 events soon, so make sure you check the Events Page everyday for new event announcements! Thank you Blaze, Harry, and Steven for attending this event. I hope you all stick around for a potential large Pirate101 event around the end of the year! Until next time, I'll see you around the... skyways! :D
I hope you all are having a great Summer so far, well those who are currently on Summer break. Today, I was thinking that I should provide everyone with some real thought out anti-bullying tips that the community really needs.
Ignore
If you find yourself in a situation where you're being bullied by someone (whether it be name-calling, smart remarks, etc), Ignore. It may seem too simple and too good to be true, but you can ignore those by doing the following on social media or the game - by the way, special thanks to Autumn for letting me use your account as examples below:
Mute or Block on Twitter
Block on Facebook
Ignore on Wizard101 or Pirate101
Click on a Wizard's Name, Press the X to Ignore on Wizard101
Click on a Pirate's Name, then click on Ignore to Ignore on Pirate101
Report!
If you see someone bullying someone: threats, slandering/rumors, name-calling, etc. You need to report them to the following Social Media. Remember these things are not okay. It does not make you cool to say hurtful things to people. Even if you see the most "popular" person saying these things, it's still wrong and should be dealt with accordingly. If you would like to see how to report someone for abusive/harmful behavior on the following social media, scroll over and click on the Hyperlinks below.
Remember, whatever they might say doesn't always mean it's true. People say hurtful things online and offline and it never ever means it's always true about you as a person. You know who you are, and if they say things about you. Remember not to say anything bad to these people because nobody deserves to be bullied here. I hope you all do follow this advice! I really didn't follow this advice a few months ago, but now I am! It's nice to ignore, block, and report because arguing with them won't help. They'll only think it's okay to continue. My advice to those standing up for what's right is to be you! Ignore and Report those who think bullying is okay. Remember no form of bullying is okay and I hope the community stands with me to do what's right. Ignore, Block and Report those who are bullying. The Hyperlinks above explain what is considered and not considered an abusive behavior. Please read all of them! Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral!
I hope you're having a great week so far! This past week has been an amazing week for me because, well for one it's Summer and I was able to host another event to get the community together once more! It's really nice interacting with everyone when we have these events. This event was actually one of the smaller events outside of the "Run Events" that we have during the holidays. I believe this was the largest small event we've had to date! Over 40 people showed up throughout the day to take over Wizard City!
WhiteTiger93 made an awesome Recap Video of the entire event. Please click on the link above to view that video. Be sure to leave a nice comment on that video and you might find yourself winning an Astral Unicorn Mount! You'll have to comment before tomorrow, though. Click on the Current Contests tab for more information.
Early Morning Thoughts
I woke up and found one Dark Fairy, Victoria. She was awesome for staying on so long to enjoy these events! There were also other wizards - or Dark Fairies - that logged on to wait for this event. Many of you show such dedication to events like this that I really want to host more of these and prepare some activities before the official event begins.
I'm going to work hard to make sure even before the event begins, we have a lot of fun! I'm trying to brag, but I can tell these events are getting larger as we progress. The first Santa Run we had was promoted quite a bit and had less than we had at this event. The Halloween Run and Bunny Run also grew quite a bit. I'm going to work as hard as I can to make sure almost everyone has fun. I know we can't get everyone to have fun and that's okay. But as long as you enjoy coming to these and interacting with the community, it'll always continue!
Activities During The Event
ZAP! I'm sorry, but somehow this picture was kinda hilarious, but also sad! :P I just wanted to say that no Dark Fairies were hurt during this event. I can say a storm wizard teleported and... well the picture above kinda shows what happened. I may or may not be laughing at this current moment!
The activities at this event were actually made up all at once! The first activity was a run around the commons. Well technically we were flying, but you know I call just about everything a Run Event these days! I don't think Wizards liked us flying around taking over Wizard City. The second activity was to swarm the pond and swarm around the fountain in the pond. I think that was my favorite since it really made it look like we were taking over the world! Sometimes it's fun to be the villain, but that soon changed when we went to Unicorn Way for our third activity to defeat one ghost. I feel bad for the ghosts in Unicorn Way but in a way, we were showing the wizards we weren't that bad!
The Afterparty
After swarming the Commons, we decided to give Wizard City back to the wizards.. Or the Santas since they'll be taking over on July 15th - which you can click on the events tab for more information. We Dark Fairies are nice and we love Christmas in July? :P
I teleported everyone with my Ice Wizard on my second account to the new Avalon Refuge house from the Avalon Outlaw Bundle (from gamestop for $39). When we got there, I told everyone where they could get this house and that I wasn't being paid to promote the bundle! This house is pretty cool - a bit confusing - but still cool. We had PvP and I gave away a few codes for mounts and crowns. Unfortunately, I had to leave early because I had another event to attend, this time in real life. That Birthday party was a great and had a great time with my family. This event in Wizard101 was also a great event!
A Special Thank You
I want to thank ALL of you for attending this event or if you couldn't attend, supporting events like these. The first event I attended, as many of you know, was a Diary of a Wizard event called the Ravenwood Ball. These events were very special to bring the community together and they are unlike any other event that has occurred in Wizard101. They were great people and very welcoming to everyone who attended their events.
The community has changed quite a bit since I joined Wizard101 - some are changes that I can't and will not adapt to. There are however good changes, such as many more in the community that we can reach out to. Spreading good messages such as Online Safety and respect to everyone in the community no matter who they are. I would like to think I didn't fail you all by spreading these positive messages in the community.
These events will always take place for everyone in the community even for those who we've had disagreements with. My goal has been and always will be inclusion for everyone. I love this community and I hope you all enjoy events like these! I love getting everyone together to make new friends and interact with old friends who may have not been on the game in awhile. Don't worry, these events will always continue for you! I've found I've been more excited lately about having these for you as well. :)
I'm looking forward to a great Summer with you all! I'm going to try my best to make sure everyone knows they're important to me and the community. I don't want to bring anything up that has occurred over the past few months, but I will say the best thing to do is to ignore and focus on the good. I'm glad I've finally done that because I'm happier about being here than I was! I love this community! We're going to do our best to continue spreading positive message, respecting everyone, staying safe online, and more of all being inclusive. Until next time, I'll see you around the Spiral.
Lately, I've been promoting an upcoming event, The Dark Fairy Takeover, which will take place TODAY at 3:00 pm CST. We'll be meeting in the Commons, Pixie Realm for that event. Yes, I did it again. Promotion! I've promoted this event a lot more than I thought I would, but I wanted to give you a few heads up over a few things that I thought I should talk about before the event tomorrow.
A Contest
A few of you already know, but I've announced a new contest on my contest page. I'm giving away Crowns and a few mounts for one lucky winner. This contest is a screenshot contest where you have to take a screenshot of yourself in a Dark Fairy transformation at the event. If you would like more information about this contest, click on the link below:
I will be having an afterparty tomorrow after the event itself in the Commons. The current plans are to teleport everyone to my Outlaw's Refuge house from the new Avalon Outlaw Bundle. This house isn't as decorated, but it'll be fun for those who haven't seen it in person to explore! I also have a few gauntlets and we'll have PvP as well.
However, if the event is larger than I think it will be, we'll teleport everyone else to my dorm room to choose between my Sultan's Palace and Darkmoor Manor. I'm going to try my best to be prepared so all of you can have fun. I will be online early to add everyone early so we can quickly get everyone to the afterparty when it begins.

Have Fun
I hope to see you all tomorrow at the event. I'm going to try my best to make it as entertaining as possible. These smaller events don't represent the larger events that we have, but I've been looking forward to this event for a few months. I've missed hanging out with you all and I can't wait to hang out with you again! If you're not able to attend, you can check out other events that will take place this Summer/Fall by clicking anywhere on the image below! Until next time, I'll see you around the Spiral.
