New Community Manager: Mathew Anderson

Hello Wizards & Ahoy Pirates!

Today, our awesome community manager, Tom Purdue, announced that he would be leaving the community manager position to fulfill an awesome new promotion as Game Designer on a Kingsisle Mobile Game, Animal Cove. He also announced that we will now have a new community manager, named Mathew Anderson. He will be known on the Wizard101 Message Boards as Sparck and the Pirate101 Message Boards as Bat Masterson.

Tom has been a very great help to this community from the very start. He started blogging about Wizard101 nearly 10 years ago! Since then, he's brought the community closer together in various ways - Blogging, YouTube, streaming, etc. I know he'll be a Game Designer on Animal Cove, but I am glad I got to know him as both a Fansite Owner & a Community Manager. He's given many people, including myself, chances to bring this amazing community together. Thank you so much for being an awesome community manager. The entire community appreciates everything you have done for this game. Thank you so much for all of the support you've shown my website & the events that we throw for the community. You're the Grandfather of Blogging and Community Management!

It's now the time to welcome our new community manager, Mathew Anderson! We're happy to welcome you into this community. I look forward to working with you for many years to come. As I've stated in my email, I know you'll do a great job! Thank you for everything that you will do in the future.

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:
