Wizard101 Tour

Before I explain my idea of Wizard101 Tour, let's get a better start of how I come up with this idea in the first place. Some of you have probably heard of GenCon, a gaming convention in Indianapolis, Indiana. According to some members, you will get to chat with some people of the KI team. I wish I could have been there so I can chat with those people also. I mean, how cool is it that you get to meet people who desgin a game that you like to play so much?

Anyway, if any of you know Webkinz, they are having a "Webkinz Tour." According to the site, the Webkinz Road team will travel to more than 10 different states (which they are already doing right now). "There will be exciting activities, games, prizes and a feature code card for an exclusive Webkinz van for your account."

When I read this, I thought, why don't Wizard101 have a similar thing? I live far away from Indiana so I didn't get to go to the convention, which was a real shame as if I could, I would go right away. I think this "Wizard101 Tour" might be a very nice thing for KI to do. We will get the chance to meet them, and ask questions in person. In return, they might even be able to expand and reach more players.

What do you guys think?

So many things to do, so little time

My subscription is ending on August 10. That means 7 days from today. Here's a list of what I need to do before subscription ends:

Crafting: I need so many black pearls. Both on Ashley (part of her quest - I want her to be a Master Artisan too) and Stephanie (I want to craft mannequin, bamboo fountain, and most importantly=carousel: they all need black pearls...)

Questing: Seeing that I couldn't really possibly level up my ice to grand with all the stuff I need to do, I am just focusing on fire - Ashley WillowWhisper: she's level 47 right now [getting ready with Crystal Grove-yay, spiders.]

PvP: Now that both Ellie and Ashley have full gear, that leaves me. I currently have around 400 tickets, yay, let's try to get about 600 more. And if I can, an addition 200 more tickets for Warlord Trophy :D

House: I am still in the process of decorating my house. I have spent over 100,000 gold redecorating my house already... What I really need are more books for my Library... That means more ravens-JOY to the world. Let's just hope the house is ready for the Twin Party :D

To wrap up for the day, check out the pictures I attached. Weird glitch >.<

Two Warlords :D

It's definitely starting to get more and more good everyday. Ellie finally made Warlord, and I'm just a bit close to be Overlord (1000+). I tried taking a picture earlier but our friend, Blaze MoonMender, had to get off unexpectedly so I will update this blog entry later with picture :D

Our team is Life (me), Ellie (storm), and Blaze (death). Apparently, some people really had problems with beguile. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it. They have their advantage of whoever they are dueling with. For example, if you have a myth - they can earthquake and stun, if you have a balance - they can buff up. Therefore, we have a death and beguile is one of the many things death can use, why is it that people consider us noobs then? One team even complained about infection!

Anyway, I am so so so so close on completing the final crafting quest. I probably spent around 30 minutes, stalking the bazaar for red madrakes. I was able to buy enough (more than 100) and spent somewhere around 3000+ gold. It was not that bad really, about three raven battles. [I would stop farming them if they would just drop the pet for me...]

I'm extremely happy at the moment because I'm finally done transmuting and got all 20 blood moss. Life is good. Now, I only need 6 more black pearls. Blaze and I will be turning the quest in together, probably by tomorrow? Can't wait! >.<

Last but not least, I was able to get on Test Realm today and hang around for fun. I decided to use the free crowns and stitch my clothes to ice gears... I am personally still looking for the "perfect" shoes but until then, I'm not going to reveal what I look like. Btw, KI lowered the pet price! :D I hatched satyr with orthrus but ended up with a myth tree walking thing... Oh well, maybe I will try again for a jade hound :D

THE EPIC TRIO



Here's my friend Nick and I, flying on our awesome wings:




Night night everyone!


Sidenote: Jenna (aka Moonthorn) has finally reached Grandmaster! Please take the time to congratulate her on this awesome achievement!

What's up with this game?

I just feel like typing something for the day. As many of you probably now, there are people having trouble logging in. If you don't, well, you are probably a subscriber. However, there are people out there who just fail to connect. /shrug

Anyway, here's what Andrew WildFlame have to say that pretty much sum it up all that I want to say:


First off, let me get this straight, and please correct me if I am wrong:
1) KI has now set a ceiling limit to the number of free-to-play players on their servers (which I am ok with).
2) KI allows all monthly subscriber players immediate server access (which I am ok with).
3) If you are an access pass player and have purchased crowns in the past month, you are lumped in with the monthly subscriber group, and allowed immediate server access.
4) If you are an access pass player and have not purchased crowns in the past month, you are lumped in with the free-to-play players, and have to wait in the queue/keep attempting to log on to gain access to the game.
If any of the above is wrong, please address, as I am basing this knowledge on what I am seeing here on Central.

If the above is correct, are there any other access pass players that have spent hundreds of dollars on this game that are just a bit incensed at being cast down with the free-to-play players? I know I am. If KI doesn't care about access pass players, then why in the world did they create that payment option at all in the first place? KI is talking out of both sides of their mouth when they offer a sale on bulk purchasing of crowns, but then if you go that route, you will be penalized the month after that purchase because you have not bought anything more recently.

I'm sorry, but this is just ridiculous. I understand that over the long haul an access pass player will not spend as much as a monthly subscriber. But how hard would it be for KI to create 3 levels instead of just 2? I have mentioned before that KI should easily be able to identify accounts that have purchased over a certain threshold of crowns (say $60 or $100 - whatever). Why not create a mid-level for access for all accounts that are not monthly subscriptions, but have eclipsed a certain spending level?

KI, I am getting quite tired of you continually kicking sand in the face of us access pass players. I have spent hundreds of dollars on my 2 accounts, and here you are, making me pony up more (on a monthly basis no less), just to get "premium" access.
You won't allow us to get open chat (even via a crowns purchase).
You won't allow us to trade wizards between linked family accounts (even via a crowns purchase).
And now you won't allow us premium server access, and consider us free-to-play players, even though some of us have spent hundreds of dollars on this game?!?

Wow, just wow...


Yes, what I bold and put in red is the most important. As a crowns player who have spent over ($50+), I do not feel like waiting for the game to connect after a very tiring day. Come on KI, we pay too!

Anyway, I'm subscribing soon so I will be on streak of dueling, farming, and crafting all in probably 2 months. Think I can do it? Just follow my blog! :D

Happy farming everyone!

It's finally over! - Wizard101 Central

School is now officially over for me, it is hard to describe the joy in my heart right now lol. Grades haven't posted yet but I know I did a great job on my biology final so that makes me really happy. The strange thing is, yesterday, as I went to sleep, I was thinking of whether I have any homework. School must be really stressful for me to think that right?

Anyway, today is a very special day. It's my sister's birthday, Ellie. What I can tell you is that even though she is annoying and mean sometimes, I can practically talk to her about anything. That's how great of a sister she is. To make this day special, we are throwing a party at her house on Wizard101. For more information, please click here.

Now, before I move on, I have a little treat for you guys! Look at this picture!





Talk about feeding flaming soup, they sure work well!


If anyone read my last blog entry, you will remember I mentioned something about a big surprise this weekend. Unfortunately, with school over and all those family stuff, I never get to finish it. Hopefully, by next week, I will be able to complete it and present it to you guys, just wait!


Last but not least is one of the most important things of my announcement. The pet update is here! I do believe this update came to live a bit too fast. There are still many bugs around. For example, what's up with the satyr dancing when we cast the spell? Or why when I play cannon game; it said I missed when I even made a bull eye?!! It is somewhat frustrating but also fun at the same time. Leveling your pet can take forever but I think that's the point. This update is supposed to keep us busy until they release Celestia. I'm just happy they made an update at all.


So anyway, if you have been elsewhere, then I guess you might be missing one of the coolest wizard101 give-away ever! For anyone who know Santa Allan, and for those who don't, he is hosting a wonderful contest! It is unusual because... Well, you have to find it out yourself! Click here!


For those of you who are already out of school, I wish you guys a wonderful summer, enjoy it and remember to be safe! As for those who still have school, pay attention and finish this school year to the fullest!


HAVE A GREAT SUMMER EVERYONE!

Skater Girl - Wizard101 Central

I was extremely bored in my class and with so much time in hand, I decided to draw. I was thinking of freedom because I pretty much find skateboarding fun, even though I have never actually skate. I name her Alexa.



I will possibly add more details and might even color it. What do you think?
