11/16/09 - The New Earthstrider

As a Grandmaster Myth wizard, I decided to have myth colors so I have had blue and yellow clothes (Blue as the main, yellow as the trim).

Though, since I dyed my clothes I have seen a ton of myth people with those same colors. Therefore, I finally decided to change it again. I liked the blue, but decided to change the yellow to black, and I have to say, it looks really nice :)


Also, I managed to download Xfire, and figured out how to stream live. So I will start doing that daily probably. Unless I am doing something boring :D

Oh and I would like to say thanks to Fallon, from diaryofawizard.com. She added my blog to her toolbar.....so....

Thanks Fallon! :D

10/1/09 - Strange Pets and Global Warming in Wizard101

Kings Isle Has now released even more gift card pets. These gift cards as before give crowns and a pet. This pet gives either a card, or some sort of boost to health, attack, etc. But some of them are ridiculous.

You should all be familiar with the cute little piggles from the wizard city pet shop. The pig that has wings and flies by your side with it's tongue swaying in the breeze. But no. Kings Isle didn't think that was enough....there was only one way to make it even cooler......

.......fuse it with a zebra.....

I know, I know, that sounds awesome and all. But don't get your hopes up. It doesn't come with a zebra spell.....what a disappointment.

Instead it comes with a storm shark spell, which isn't bad, but it's no zebra either.





In Other News:

As October finally arrives the world of Wizard city has begun to fall apart. People are hopelessly confused. Everything is spinning into chaos......the culprit you ask?

Global Warming is your answer. That's right. The spiral in it's entirety is experiencing global warming due to marleybone. It's balloon rides may seem fun, but they use a lot of toxic and hazardous gases to power those things. These fumes are finnally building up enough to cause havoc in the streets of even Wizard City!

People are losing their minds



They don't know the difference between a boy and a girl. It's madness! Beware of these fumes!

These toxic gases could turn your brain inside out. Or make your pet shoot out spaghetti. Or even cause you to believe your a ballerina!

The residents of marleybone are being sued for there actions and things should return to normal in a few years. Until then.....don't die.

9/29/09 - Almost October Celebration

October is only 2 days away. This month not only is the month containing the release of the mounts, but also Halloween. Kings Isle has already started a poetry contest regarding this special holiday. Not to mention there will almost definitely be spooky decorations like last year!

So now we can prance around the spooky streets of wizard city on a brand new mount. What more could you want!

Then of course they are adding the school specific houses. So now each school has will have it's own unique house just in time for the holiday. So now your chillin at your myth based bachelor pad. Handing out candy to the boys in girls. Then running away on a tiger to scare everyone. The ultimate plan.

Plus, with the contest we can win the black cat pet, ninja pig costume, or Halloween costume. I guess pigs are related to Halloween.....but either way that's pretty cool.

Ninja pigs love trick or treating too I guess

So get your poetic caps on (ok that was kind of lame) and start writing! Of course to do this you have to be a fan on facebook. So, don't forget that.

Trick or Treat
Smell my Feet
I just got a brand new spell this week
When I use it you will die
Just promise me that you won't cry

Yah I am so talented. (No that is not an actual entry.....)

Well anyway good luck to people who plan to enter. Also, I hope to see tons of mounts running around in the next couple weeks, so save up!

Hope everyone has a happy October

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
