Throwback Thursday: Christmas In July - Santa Run

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful Thursday. Did you know that in previous years, we had two Santa Runs? We had one during July and another in December. This year, we've decided not to have a Santa Run and have a Holiday Mashup event in its place! However, that doesn't mean we're done talking about Christmas in July!

The Santa Run was an event where we got everyone together to celebrate Christmas and Santa. It's pretty self explanatory! The Santa Run itself is the event that started all of the events. The first Santa Run took place back in December of 2012. A few years passed and I decided to have another one in December of 2015. Since then, we've had events for nearly every Holiday. 

Since then, our events have evolved to be amazing events. At one point, we would only run around the commons a few times. Now we're running around Wizard City and have activities that lead up to events. The Santa Run holds a very special place in my heart. This is why I wanted to make it once a year - during December. Anyway, I want to thank all of you for all of the support you've shown us since our first event. It's been amazing and we look forward to hosting many more events for the community. Merry Christmas in July!

Wizard101: Decaversary Hoard Pack

Hello Wizards!

Kingsisle released a new hoard pack in the game, called the Decaversary Hoard Pack. This pack is full of special items that celebrate Wizard101's 10th Birthday. You can now buy this new pack in the Crowns Shop for 399 Crowns!

This pack will be a permanent item in Wizard101, so there's no need to worry about rushing to buy it. However, I'd personally rate this pack the best since they have so many epic items in it. Want a full list of all of the amazing items that is included in this new pack? You can read more about this new pack by clicking on the link below:

Check Out New Wizard City!

Hello Wizards!

This morning, Kingsisle added all of the new updates from the Test Realm to the Live Realm. Many of you already know about all of the updates, but today I'm mostly going to focus on Photomancy and the new Wizard City Graphics!

If you use the Z key on your keyboard, you can access a new feature called Photomancy. This awesome new feature allows you to take screenshots to the next level. If you're in a full realm and there are many people around, you have the option to hide other wizards (including your own). I took the picture above near the rainbow bridge in the Commons today during a very busy time! This feature will be such an amazing feature for events and blog posts. 

Now I never say Selfie, but today I will. The Selfie (Picture) option on Wizard101 is another part of Photomancy. You can take pictures of your character, or just NPCs, without worrying about other wizards getting in your shot. This will be such an amazing feature for blogging. We bloggers are sure Kingsisle was thinking about us when they were working on this feature! ;) The new Graphics and Photomancy are going to be very popular! I've already heard great reviews from people who were unable to access the Test Realm before. Here's to a new successful beginning.
