Wizard101: An Awesome Wizard101 Shirt

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a great Monday. Today I wanted to share something awesome with you all. As many of you have heard that Tony Gaddis, an animator/artist at Kingsisle, designed a Ravenwood Professors t-shirt that is currently being sold on the Zazzle Store for $23.49 (extra for larger sizes/colors). By the way, this is not an advertisement, just a friendly shoutout! This shirt is awesome and I'm planning on buying one myself. If you want to buy one, click anywhere on the image below.

Wizard101: Patriotic March Recap!

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a great Monday. A few days ago, there were so many great events in the Wizard101 community: Duelist101's Birthday Party, Pet Central Day, our Patriotic March, and Spiral Radio's Graduation Party.  Each party had a special meaning - getting the community together. The community is truly thriving and it's nice to see that there are so many great people out there bringing the community closer together - whether you host the event, spread information about the event, or attend the event.



Our event, The Patriotic March, had nearly 70 in attendance! This was 40 more wizards than I thought would attend. Though the purpose of these events is not about the number of attendees, it really is great to see that all of you wanted to attend to interact and/or make new friends. We got people from so many different countries! The purpose was to get everyone together from these different countries and remind everyone that no matter where we're from, we can still get together and make the world a much better place. It was nice to do that on Saturday with all of you. Event like these remind me how much I love this community! Below I've provided awesome videos from YouTubers that could attend the event. Please give them a like/subscribe:

I want to thank all of you again for attending this event! It's great that we can get people across the world to log into the game at the same time and have fun together. The community has always been a place where many good things - like events, just not mine but all of them - happen. I had a lot of fun talking to you all and bringing everyone together once again. I hope you all are ready for the Santa Run next month! I'm going to try my best to work on making that even more fun than this event. This event was meant to be a smaller event, but the events are growing as we have them. Is that a good sign? Of course! It shows that many want to participate bringing everyone together. Thank you again for a wonderful time and I hope to see you at the Santa Run next month!

I'm inspired by all of you to continue these events. Thank you for being you!

Wizard101: Test Realm Online!

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a great First Day of Summer! Today, Kingsisle released the Wizard101 Test Realm for wizards to enjoy celebrating the first official day of Summer. If you're like me, you're most likely staying away from the heat by staying inside enjoying the ac and testing out the latest updates on the Wizard101 Test Realm. I've included a list of updates and my thoughts about them - you'll have to read the official Update Notes if you want more information about these updates. If you decide to check these updates out on the test realm - Report the Bugs!

PvP - 4th Age and Daily PvP Awards


This update was announced on the last episode of Kingsisle Live by our community manager, Tom Purdue, and Wizard101 Producer, Leah Ruben. This update was well received by a lot of of the community and may or may not improve PvP issues that many wizards have criticized Kingsisle about these past few years. It seems 4th Generation is a major upgrade from the previous 3rd Generation PvP. 

Chat - Menu Chat Improvements, Emojis, and More!


This update is my favorite update - since I love chatting. I mean, really who doesn't like chatting on the game? Everyone who knows me knows that I could talk everyone's ear off. I have to delete a lot of things I type on my posts because I know everyone wants me to get to the point - for me it's difficult to do that! Speaking of getting to the point... This Test Realm update also brings an amazing improvement of Menu Chat, inclusion of Emojis in chat (example above), and if you say "LOL" or "lol" in the chat box - your wizard will begin laughing! It's always the little things in life that make life so much better! Chat Channels were also introduced where you can click on Public or Private Chat channels where only you or your friends can read your chat - now that's awesome!

Avalon Fishing - Perfect for the first day of Summer!



There are a few names I think of when you hear of a fishing update. I am pretty sure Iridian Willowglen and Paige Moonshade are already enjoying this new fishing update on the Test Realm! Now, I know a few will be shocked when I tell you this, but I haven't done as much fishing as I should have. I'm even behind on it in real life! I really need to catch up on the simple but also relaxing things in life. I hope everyone who does fish on the game has a lot of fun catching all of the new Avalon Fish! :D -- Blogger really needs to add emojis, I know I'm too lazy to code emojis into HTML. 



If you want access to the Wizard101 Test Realm, you'll need a membership and/or have made a Crowns Purchase in the last 30 days. Remember to report those bugs when you see them so Kingsisle can improve the game for us. It's nice to have most of those bugs squashed before it reaches the Live Realm.
