Autumn Walker's Gold Rush Event

Ahoy Pirates!

Last night Autumn Walker had another great event! When she announced the event, 4 days ago, I didn't think I would make it and didn't have a chance to make a blog post because I was sick the entire week and still getting over it! I am glad I did make it though for all of the fun and extra gold. I went on my Witchdoctor and my Swashbuckler Edward Cringle. I didn't have a chance to take any pictures on Edward Cringle, but here are some pictures from last night with my Witchdoctor Edward! :)

Cool picture/ glitch I really wanted to take a picture of!

Gotta love heals, and have what available? lol

EPIC!

Gold Earned from Autumn's event- started at 200 gold.

Well that was a great event, thank you Autumn Walker for the event and can't wait to attend more! These events really does bring the Pirate101 community together and helps us a lot with gold or NXP. I hope to see you at the next event and really can't wait until the next one. Until then, see you around the Spiral!

Happy Community Manager Appreciation Day!

Happy Monday!

The title says it all! I just wanted to make a post to thank all three of the best community managers ever, the Pirate101 community manager, Wizard101 community manager and the Wizard101 UK community manager! This probably will sound silly but I'm actually going to make this post longer than I thought it would be showing why I appreciate all three of the community managers for all that they've done!

Tom Purdue AKA One-Eyed Jack

Pirate101 Community Manager

Tom is just about a year old community manager for Pirate101, he is new at being a community manager and really does make a great one! He helps a lot of people on the message boards if they are having trouble even if they are mad he helps them as much as he can to fix a problem. He really does make a great manager for the game Pirate101. Thanks Tom for all that you do for the Pirate101 community :)

Kiersten Samwell AKA Lydia Greyrose

Wizard101 Community Manager

Kiersten is the community manager for Wizard101. She helps so many people, can't imagine how much people have asked for help because there's millions of people that play Wizard101. Thank you for helping us, warning us about last minute maintenance no matter what time it is, and everything you do for the Wizard101 community! You rock, and Lydia is my favorite teacher :) Let it snow!

Emy Amesalok 

Wizard101 UK Community Manager

Emy is the community manager for Wizard101 UK, she is awesome! I haven't had a chance to play Wizard101 UK since last year, but I remember when there was a very important maintenance that needed to be done and it was late at night for her and she stayed up and made sure everything was okay before she even went to sleep! It was afternoon for evening for us in the USA. Thank you Emy, I'm glad to mention you on this post and can't wait to start playing Wizard101 UK again :) You rock! Oh by the way, I need a picture of your wizard! I had to use your Twitter profile picture. Lol. 

If you have a chance, you should thank them for everything they do!

Breaking: J. Todd Coleman leaving Kingsisle

Hello,

If you haven't heard by now creator J Todd Coleman, co-founder of Kingsisle, is leaving Kingsisle. He left a letter on Facebook today explaining why exactly he was leaving and wishing us luck. Here's his letter on here and a link to it so you can wish him the best! Thank you J. Todd Coleman for all that you've done for the Wizard101/ Pirate101 players!

This update is going to be one of the hardest that I have written, so please hang with me as I try and get through it. I have decided to leave Kingsisle and pursue my own course. This might sound crazy-- and, full disclosure, it probably is-- but it is something I have to do. What a fantastic experience this has been! As the creative lead of our games, and first employee hired in Austin, I was in the unique position to watch this team blossom, and watch our games grow from niche titles to mainstream popularity. Wow! A handful of dreamers got together and turned an unknown start-up into the market leader of online entertainment.. That's not something you see everyday. I am blessed to have been able to play a role, and I know that I am leaving the company in capable hands. I have no doubt that the Spiral will continue to expand for many years. What's next for me? I'm a storyteller, so I will keep doing what I do best-- dream up ideas, breathe life into characters, build worlds for you to explore... only next time, I want to do it for myself. I'm an entrepreneur at heart. A new company, a new game, a new story... I'm not ready to say, but I've got something to show, you guys will be the first to know. I want to thank you for becoming a part of this community. Your patronage has allowed me to work with my best friends, and to entertain you, for almost a decade. You gave me a chance to build something, something unique and wonderful. These are more than games to me. I see these worlds when I sleep. I greet these characters like old friends. These are the dreams that filled my childhood. I cannot tell you how fortunate I am, to have been given the chance to share them with you.
