Around the Spiral's Social Networks to like and follow!

Hi there!

Recently I've been busy with contests and leveling on Wizard101/Pirate101 that I didn't have time to make this post. For some time I have had social networks that I share my new blog posts on when published a few minutes after and I tell everyone when I'm having contests or when I'm going to hide codes (like I am on my find-a-code contest). IF you would like to, I have an official Facebook and Twitter you can follow for any updates on my blog. Click on the pictures to the right for a link to Around the Spiral's Facebook and Twitter. If you click the top one that'll lead you to Around the Spiral's FB, and the bottom Around the Spiral's Twitter!

Ahoy Pirates,

Yesterday I made a new pirate on Pirate101. Before I actually made the new pirate I had to ask Twitter which school they think I should make. All of the schools on Pirate101 are all great and that made it difficult for me to choose. About three pirates said Musketeer so that's the school I chose!

That's a nice view of Skull Island.

My Uh..... First Ship??

I'm glad I made a new pirate to quest on when I'm not blogging with Edward Cringle. I might make a few posts of his leveling but I don't have any plans to make any posts as of yet. I really wanted to show you where I am on the game so you know me a little better! I hope to see you in the skyways and if you do see me, make sure to say ahoy! I'll add you as a friend. - Edward Hawkins, Level 5 Musketeer.

Wizard101 and Pirate101 aren't free because....?

Hi there,

There's always questions floating around the spiral and I decided to pick one that I've seen a lot lately. Why aren't the games Wizard101 & Pirate101 free? We have to remember they are free-to-play which means free to download and play a bit. This is awesome because you get to try it out before you even have to pay for it. If you've ever bought video games, you can look at it on the internet but you can't really try it out yourself until you buy it. Sometimes after someone buys a video game (anything actually), sometimes they don't like it and that means they have to return it or deal with it. With the Kingsisle games, you get to try it out before you buy it; I'm sure everyone loves the games once they try it out because that's why this certain question is floating around because they are very nice games. I am glad they aren't free! If they were free... well they wouldn't even last a minute because they have to pay bills (I'm pretty sure the electricity bill is HIGH), they have to buy computers/hardware, all employees have to be payed so they can continue to help and improve the games. Its going to be like this for the rest of our lives because nothing will be free... well sometimes there are free things but not always! We want Kingsisle to continue many years.. decades... centuries? Millenniums? LOL Well however long it lasts... which I'm sure will last quite sometime... I'm sure one day everyone will realize why we had to pay in the first place.
