March 2014 Pirate101 Newsletter

Ahoy Pirates!

Kingsisle release their March 2014 P101 Newsletter today with lots of great news, information and a great recap of what happened last month! I think this newsletter is one of my favorite newsletter they've released. I think one of my favorite things about this month's Newsletter is the Rogue's Gallery. Kingsisle finally release a video about Blind Mew, the blind cat in Skull Island, yeah.. believe it or not, he is a cat! I can't post the video since its early but you can still check it out on the newsletter. I'll post it to my blog once blogger finds it. :) Another thing that caught my eye was the last section of the newsletter. NEW TEASER! I'm so excited about the spoilers Kingsisle has release in the past few months. This spoiler has something to do with Completely Barmy just like many of the spoilers in the past!

Kingsisle : Avast, Pirate101 fans! This here be an interesting and (also “completely barmy”) concept art of a Skull Island character you’ve never seen before!

Isn't that an epic concept teaser image? I don't think I'm the only one excited about this next Pirate101 update. I have that feeling there will be another skyway in Skull Island that we'll have to explore with the new update. I don't really know, sometimes I think it's a new world but it could be a little something for everyone. Maybe it's a new Pirate101 school? I know Wizard101 added a new school (not so new now, balance) in the past when it was still a new game. I don't know if that Skull Island character has anything to do with a new school, but you never know! I think KI is going to release more than just a new world. I do think they'll release a new world with the next update since a lot of pirates are already level 65, at least the pirates I know and have seen. What do you think will happen? Well I think that's enough chat for the newsletter. I'm guessing it'll be released to the test realm by next month's newsletter, if not, it'll be released during May or June. Anyways, if you'd like to read more great information about this month's P101 Newsletter such as: NXP Parties, Pirate101 Vines and Books For The Cultured Pirate, just click HERE

Farewell Autumn Dreamwalker

Ahoy Pirates,

Sad news today... Autumn from Secrets Of The Spiral announced today that she will no longer be a Pirate101 Fansite owner and can't be a part of not only the Pirate101 community but also the Wizard101 community. I knew Autumn since 2010 and feel so bad that she has to leave the community. I'm sure you've read many blogs that had Autumn included on this blog and have read her site, Secrets Of The Spiral. It's so sad to blog about this, but I am because she's a great person and deserves better. I'm praying that everything she's going through stops soon so she can enjoy life. I know how it is to have real life complications and it does affect not only your gaming life but also your blogging. I've had problems like these in the past and it isn't easy. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I WILL MISS YOU AUTUMN! I know I won't forget you and I'm pretty sure all of the people who know you won't forget you because you're the best! *Secrets Of The Spiral- Goodbye*

It's Going To Snow!

Hello Wizards,

I apologize for not having as many Wizard101 posts last month. I promise this month will be different for blogging! I will try to publish as many Wizard101 blogs as I can before going on vacation and then after I get back I will have plenty of blogs, contests and events. :D Yesterday I had a chance to level my ice character, Edward Wintergem, with Autumn Winterbreeze. We haven't leveled our ice wizards since October or November, before my last computer started acting up. I am happy we can level our ice wizards again, we're at the end of Avalon and should be entering Azteca soon. I'm also happy we can level through these worlds after the last update where they made it a little easier to defeat the mobs.

I know we're at the end of Azteca but just like my myth wizard, I had no idea what we were doing. I knew we had to defeat the death seraphs and collect something from them that is hard to collect. There's a few quests in the spiral  that I remember because of their difficulty.. One is another quest in Zafaria where you have to defeat these fire lions and collect something but it takes forever to collect and another is the quest we had to quest on yesterday. I'm glad I can remember what happens on those few hard quests because it really prepares me for the next time I level through. OH, did I tell you I change my robes? I look like such an ice wizard with them. Wait... I'm an ice wizard even if I don't have ice symbols on my robes right? Of course. I just love the symbols because my ice wizard was my first school and I love Winter! 

I don't think I ever told anyone why I named my character's last name Wintergem. You should know since I love Winter and thought gem would be a great 2nd part to my ice wizard's last name. I'm so happy I have a wizard that I created nearly 5 years ago and remember why I gave him the name I gave him. :D Anyways.. Enough of me.. Time to talk about what Autumn and I did yesterday. We defeated the death seraphs for about 5 fights. At first we collected 2/4 of the things we needed to collect and I ended up collecting all of the items a few fights after. Autumn didn't collect the round I collected but she did after! I don't know if Kingsisle updated this quest or not but it did seem a lot easier than it did in the past when I quest through on my other wizards.. Maybe it's because we were working together and had to defeat 3 each round? I'm starting to think it makes a difference when you have friends you're questing with/ join a battle with other wizards to soloing the quest. I remember soloing and it is not fun! Okay.. it is, after I collect. I think the last time I had a party? No.. I'm kidding! :D Anyways.. we quest through a few quests and defeat a boss in the Caliburn. I thought I took a screenshot, at least a few of them but I think I was pressing the delete button right next to my screenshot button. I don't have a picture to end the post.. so... yeah. That's it! :D I'll let you know how everything goes when we quest through Azteca (and of course I'll let you know how everything goes on Edward Firegem and Autumn's Life and Balance when questing through Khrysalis Pt 1. and 2 when released). Thanks for reading everyone! Wait... wait.. don't leave!! I want to tell you that it's going to snow tonight-tomorrow where I live. Maybe it has something to do with questing on our ice wizards yesterday? Or maybe the ice wizards are having a party?! You didn't invite us!!! It's okay, I'll be busy playing in the snow. :D Until later, I'll see you around the spiral.
