New Years Resolutions

Hello again,

I wanted to thank all of you and Kingsisle for a great year last year. It was the best year I've had on the game and I'm ready to make this year the best year too! I can't believe everything that happened last year, from Around the Spiral becoming a Pirate101 Fansite to reaching 200 members and 100k views. Its crazy all of this happened in a short amount of time and I'm ready to make this year epic. I have huge plans that I plan to accomplish and I hope you're ready for them because you're involved more than you know :). I hope all of you stick around with me another year to see all of the surprises I have planned for you...

1. Wizard101 UK- I plan to start blogging about Wizard101 UK again and hopefully level my character through the game. I haven't had a chance to level on Wizard101 UK since the beginning of last year and I would love to level on there once again. I would also like to try to submit for fansite for UK after awhile, I'll have to see how that goes! 
2. Updates to Site- This is another main goal that I hope to accomplish. Its not only updates, its more of an improvement. Right now the site isn't doing too good on graphics with the background, I am hoping to fix that soon though. I am also going to add more information to the pages on the bottom of this blog, I haven't had a chance to do that yet! 
3. One last one- My last new years resolution is to impress you with all of the other surprises I have for you! I am hoping you like everything I have planned even though there's some things I haven't told you yet. 2013 will be the biggest year for Around the Spiral. I'm hoping it beats last year, if it doesn't it'll tie with last year! I hope you enjoy everything. :)

What are your New Years Resolutions? 

Some wizards/pirates may not make new years resolutions but I think its good to make them! Its like goals you have for yourself and sometimes it does help.. Well last year I think it did more than help because I've completed all of my goals for my blog in a matter of a few months! If you have any goals you should try for yourself, you never know what might happen if you do. Good luck with your goals and I hope you enjoy Around the Spiral 2013! Futuristic... wow.. x stops typing x

What was the best MMO launched in 2012?

Hi there!

Welcome to a new year of blogging! My first post of the year is going to be about the game of the year, Pirate101! Pirate101 has received many nominations lately and may not receive the attention it deserves. I'm not saying that in a bad way :) It has so much attention or it wouldn't be nominated. If you don't like Pirate101 after.. lets say 10 levels.. then you've missed out on a lot more. At the moment I have a level 50 Witchdoctor and a level 6 Swashbuckler. I noticed this game is a lot of fun and it will keep you busy :) It has interesting story lines, awesome music, great companions/pets, this list will grow. I can't mention all of the things I love about Pirate101 or there won't even be a post. I'll have to say to anyone who thinks Pirate101 is a bad game, you'll need to try it out! Its the best game ever! For anyone that loves Pirate101 already I have an easy quest for you. Massively has nominated Pirate101 for best MMO launched in 2012. You'll see that we're just about tied with Guild Wars 2, if you vote we could win this along with the Game of the Year(MMORPG). I hope you vote for the best game ever and sorry if this post is confusing-- Tired! Lol Happy New Year everyone :) I hope you had a great night and don't forget to vote, click the link!

BEST MMO LAUNCHED IN 2012! 

2012: The best of Around the Spiral?

Hi there!

Well, this is the last day/ hours of 2012. I've had such a great year with all of you and I can't believe I'm saying it but I'll be gone until 2013. Yeah... Its awhile.. Okay maybe I should say next month, or.. tomorrow! Lol! :) I would never make a post like that. Today I'm going to make a great post of all of my favorite adventures on Around the Spiral and my favorite things about this year in blogging.

The beginning of 2012- Jan-May

I started off at a rough start on Around the Spiral due to personal issues but everything started to get better and I had my first huge contest! If you don't remember, I had my 10x10x10 contest  and that had to be the biggest contest I had this year. I was planning on having another contest which was supposed to be right about now. I decided to reschedule that until the beginning of next year though! I'll explain more in a little.. My other favorite thing about this time period was when Pirate101 was released. I was very excited and I had to start blogging about the announcement and all! I couldn't wait to start playing that. I found out about Pirate101 in April and I had to wait awhile until my ship arrived so I could finally experience my Pirate adventure. Around the Spiral had 150 members/50,000 views during this time period.

Middle Of 2012- June-September

Wow, this was a crazy time period. I loved every single moment of it though! In June I found out about the Pirate101 Fansite submission and was trying for that a few times. August was my favorite month, I couldn't blog about my adventures on Pirate101, but I really loved being accepted to Beta and really thank Kingsisle for that! I always wanted to join Wizard101 beta but I arrived to late and I'm glad I had a chance to participate in Pirate101 Beta! I think its made me a better player and its weird but I think its made me a better player in Pirate101 and Wizard101! Around the Spiral had about 175 members during this time period/ 80,000 views!

*End of 2012- October- December*

Yeah.. This time period.. It had to be the best Around the Spiral has ever had! In October I was trying my best to level and I didn't focus on blogging much. I was trying to figure out what my blog could be like at the end of the year if I made official Pirate101 fansite, this brings me to November 2012. On November 8th I finally made Pirate101 Official Fansite within an hour after submitting my blog. This was the third time and I couldn't believe it. I had a lot of hope that I would make it though :) This was a huge goal accomplished including 100,000 views on blog and 200 members. In December, this month, I had a chance to talk about my Pirate101 character, explain more about myself to my new members. I also had a chance to think about how great 2013 is going to be. I have a lot of goals, and I'm planning on completing them. Maybe I could have some help from you! I hope you stick around with me and continue your adventure Around the Spiral!
