11/18/09 - The Man On The Moon

You know that face on the moon above the two-headed dog Orthrus.



Well I was just wondering....why? Ya know?

Kings Isle likes to make things look cool or exaggerated, or possible even 'cuter'. Though, in all honesty, this moon kind of creeps me out. It's like an evil stalker face printed on the moon that stares down on all who summon the mighty beast, Orthrus.

I mean maybe if they made a happy face that makes you smile at its ecstatic mood, and take your mind off the dog below crawling out from the depths of the earth. But no, they decided to go with a creepy face that's cracking a half smile and staring you down with dead eyes.....yikes...

I just ask why King Isle decided to do this. Maybe to exaggerate the whole "man on the moon" thing. How the craters on the moon, some what resemble a face. So maybe they just exaggerated it, and actually put a face? So then I ask....were they making the face based off of a real person?

So what are your thoughts?

Do you find the moon creepy? Why do you think Kings Isle would add this? Do you think I am crazy and you don't really care about the subject at all? Well? Am I crazy? IS THAT WHAT YOU THINK?!?!

Wizard101: 5 Million and Counting

A few weeks ago, King Isle placed the new (and some what pretty) fountain statue, in the pond, in the commons. The purpose of it was to show thanks to us, for playing the game. Wizard101 has passed the 5,000,000 registrations mark. So there are over 5 million wizard accounts. That's just incredible. September was also a celebration of their 1 year anniversary. So basically that means in one year they gained 5 million players.

Congratulations Kings Isle! You have made an amazing game, and as it continues to grow and get better so does the community.

Lots of people complain. Such as you take to long to add new worlds. Or something is wrong with this, or this needs to be changed, or this is stupid. Though in reality, you update the game almost every month. That's faster then nearly every other MMO I have seen. Your a very talented organization. No matter what people say, or complain about, this game is very well made, and the community is amazing.

Unlike some games, you actually listen to your players. Your updates come from our ideas, and our feedback actually is read.

Mounts are coming next month, and I can't wait. I am sure it will bring a lot of joy to all the people complaining of boredom. Seriously I don't think it's possible to be bored while leaping through town on a tiger!

I mean come on....IT'S TIGER FOR GOODNESS SAKE!

Or a dragon....or horse...or broom....either way it will be awesome.

King Isle has done a very good job with this game so far. I can't wait to see how it evolves.

Again, congrats on hitting the 5 million mark. And thank you for making such an entertaining game.

Sincerely,
A happy player and fellow wizard
