Exploring The Wizard101 Test Realm - Spoilers Ahead!

Hello Wizards!

Kingsisle recently released the Wizard101 Test Realm for a variety of quality of life updates. Among these various updates were new graphics for most of the remaining areas in Wizard City. The only place left out was Crab Alley. I'm sure they have a lot of plans for that area, especially after the amazing work they've already done. Speaking of that amazing work, let's have a look at some of the new areas... Reminder: This post does include spoilers of the new graphics update.



As I mentioned above, Kingsisle updated the majority of Wizard City. The newly updated areas include Colossus Boulevard, Cyclops Lane, Dark Cave, Firecat Alley, Triton Avenue, Haunted Cave, and Sunken City. It was so much fun exploring these areas that they almost felt like a new world (see my reactions below). Last year I remember my level of shock when we first saw part of the new Wizard City Graphics. I will say that Kingsisle put just as much, if not more, work into this new Spring Update.

 Fun fact: The Spring 2019 Update for Wizard is the largest Spring Update since 2014. 



I am so happy to see Kingsisle is continuing to improve the graphics beyond what I was ever expecting. I'd like to thank Kingsisle on this post for releasing such a great update. I'm already looking forward to seeing what you have planned for Crab Alley and Krokotopia. After seeing this new update, I can't imagine what Krokotopia is going to look like when it's finally updated - they've already updated the Fire Elementals, so get ready. I hope they continue updating the worlds of this game to bring in lots of new players. The game looks far better than it ever has. Keep up the great work, Kingsisle! :)

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.
