Wizard101: Test Realm Live with Empyrea!

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful day. It might be a Wednesday, but it seems like many wizards across the spiral are having a great time. Why? Well, Kingsisle released the Test Realm for all of us wizards to test. If you have purchased Crowns or a Membership in the past month, you'll be able to test the new upcoming update, Empyrea Part One!

Empyrea Part One increases the Level Cap to 125, with a new Shadow Spell (The Shadow Trixter), Updated Crafting, New Member Benefits, Increased Backpack Space - which you can buy from the Crowns Shop, Castle Magic, new companions, and so much more! My favorite part of this update so far is the very beginning, the Great Sky Ark aka for us Star Trek AND Star Wars Fans, the Enterprise! I had to record a video and so that I could post it to this blog post.

I would like to thank Kingsisle for all of their hard work in creating this amazing update. I look forward to questing through this world when it's released to the live realm. If you would like to access the Test Realm Update Notes, including the Official Test Realm Schedule, click anywhere on the image below. Don't forget to report those bugs so it's near perfect when it's released to the live realm!

Pirate101 Questing Stream Recap

Ahoy Pirates!

I would like to thank all of those pirates out there that came by to watch our very first Pirate101 stream. I wasn't as nervous yesterday, which is great! I had a fun time talking and questing with you all. It was great to hang out with you and I thank you so much for spending time out of your day to view the stream.

Suri Skullshard Returns

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're ready for a new week. I know it's Monday, but you can start today off by telling yourself that it will be a great week. Go ahead and say it now: This week will be a great week and if I face struggles, I will get through them - You can do it!

Anyway, yesterday I had a chance to do something different - quest! I couldn't believe that I was able to log on in the morning and quest my new death wizard, Suri Skullshard, through a few Halloween Quests and a few other side quests to level up to level 48. My plan was to train my Scarecrow spell, but I forgot I had another spell quest that I needed to complete. I made my way through these side quests by using scarecrow treasure cards. I was able to stream the event but didn't share it with everyone because I'm still a bit uncomfortable. But here's the stream if you would like to watch a bit of it: 

Happy 5th Birthday, Pirate101!

Ahoy Pirates!

I know it's crazy, but today is actually Pirate101's 5th Birthday! Time is flying by! I can't believe it was five years ago when Kingsisle first let pirates venture Skull Island. I remember standing with other Beta Players waiting for everyone to show up as the time neared - as we had a One Week Headstart. It was amazing to see so many people wanting to try out Kingsisle's newest game, at the time!

The year 2012 doesn't seem like it was that long ago because of how fast time seems to be flying. I really do enjoy my time here so much in the community and I think that's why it flys by so fast! 2012 once was a modern time and now even that year is becoming an old year. I never thought I'd have a nostalgic feeling about this year, but today I do. I'm sure I'll have a nostalgic feeling about this year as well in the year 2023. If you're reading from that time, Hello from 2017! :D

Pirate101 will always hold a special place in my heart! It really brought me closer to the community than I thought it ever would. I love this game and I'm glad Kingsisle is spending more time on it again. I look forward to many more years of Pirate101. If you haven't tried this amazing game out, you should. Some might say, oh it's not Wizard101, and it's not. It's Pirate101! Never judge a book by its cover, you might be surprised if you don't. Thank you, Kingsisle, for so many wonderful memories! I wish you a very Happy 5th Birth-O-Ween!
