Wizard101 Test Realm Is Open!

Hello Wizards,

Today Kingsisle released the test realm for wizards to test out minor updates to the game. No, Khrysalis Part 2 hasn't been released yet. They were talking about it a lot in the test realm update notes and this makes me think they will release the test realm anywhere from this week until the very first week of February. Please keep in mind I could be wrong about this guess, so lets hope for now that they will release the test realm for this soon. I'm not going to to continue blogging about the next world update, at least for this post, so I'll send you a link to the test realm to test out the new updates instead :D. If you'd like to test out all of the minor updates/bug fixes Kingsisle added to the test realm, just click the image below!

X Marks The Spot

Ahoy Pirates!

Yesterday Kingsisle released another sneak peek, which I think will be very helpful. If you didn't know, Kingsisle has a feature on Wizard101 where you can mark a spot on the game and when you mark the spot it takes away Mana (energy on Wizard101). If you teleport somewhere else because you need to go to the bazaar, you can teleport back by clicking that marked spot. I THINK Kingsisle might be adding this feature to Pirate101 soon, well at least looking at the picture itself. What do you think of the picture below? Do you think it's X Marks The Spot OR something different? I can't wait to see all of the plans Kingsisle has for us this year!

KI: "What a surprising development!" exclaimed Zeke! Meanwhile, we wonder what Marquis Mark could be recalling . . . (Hope you enjoy this latest Sneak Peek from our internal servers here at KingsIsle!)

Why Do I Love Pirate101?

Ahoy Pirates!

I decided to make a blog post today since I haven't in a few days (since I was sick and feeling better now). Today, I decided to make a post telling you exactly why I love Pirate101 and blog about the game. I started Pirate101 in 2012 when Kingsisle announced Closed Beta for the game and I, of course, accepted the Beta invitation and started testing out the game. As soon as I played the game I was on for hours even though I was going to be busy that day. I couldn't believe the graphics, fun and work Kingsisle put into this game. It's amazing, even today thinking about all of the work Kingsisle put into this game. This game has so many things to try out even if you're at level cap.

One thing I really do love about Pirate101 are the graphics. WOW. I mean if you look at the screenshot above you'll know what I'm talking about. I remember taking this screenshot for a contest long ago and I knew it would look awesome when I was preparing to take this screenshot and it does. I took this screenshot in the Witchdoctor's House which is another reason I love Pirate101. The houses on Pirate101 are epic and you explore a lot once you get one. After you're done exploring you can always PvP with another Pirate on the game.... Yeah... another thing I love doing on the game. When you PvP you also get to use your companions, LOVE THEM! If you don't want to PvP you can sail your ship around the Spiral, KI makes tons of ships for the game and that's another thing I love about the game. Lol, maybe this post should have been titled I LOVE PIRATE101 instead of Why Do I Love Pirate101? 

The reasons I love Pirate101 above aren't the only reasons I love Pirate101. I love Pirate101 because of the community and Kingsisle. I have been blogging about Pirate101 before it was even released to the public. I believe I started blogging about Pirate101 on April 25th, 2012. I can't believe that was two years ago.. Where is time going?! I still feel like Pirate101 is a new adventure, which is good. I'm so happy Kingsisle made such a great game and put all of that hard work on the game. If you haven't played Pirate101 yet, you should play the game through Aquila and come back and tell me what you think of the game by commenting on this post. If you do that challenge I bet you'll end up loving the game as much as I do. Thank you Kingsisle for creating this game and I can't wait to see what plans you have for us this year AND did you know I have two pictures from Halloween on this post? Yeah.. I do.. :P I think I'm looking forward to it or something.. Halloweentown and Pirate101 again this year? I think yes!
