Special Announcement: Twitch Stream Schedule

Hi there!

A few weeks ago, Autumn Dreamwalker & I announced that we had plans to do weekly streams on Twitch. We've decided to make it official and today we're announcing our new weekly streaming schedule! I hope you're able to join us on this new adventure. Keep scrolling for more information:



Official Streaming Schedule: We're proud to announce that we will be streaming Wizard101, Pirate101, and eventually other games multiple times every week! This is going to be a new adventure for us, but I'm sure it'll be amazing. Our current plans are to stream every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Our first stream is set to take place on Tuesday, September 4th at 6:00 pm Central! We hope you're able to join us! Here's our Official Twitch Streaming Schedule:

Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays
6:00 pm Central - 8:00 pm Central

Streaming Weekly/Holidays Off: We'll be streaming weekly, but the days leading up to a major Holiday or on a Holiday are off limits. I firmly believe that everyone should be hanging out with their families around this time. Either way, we'll still be streaming on Twitch every week. We may have a few Holiday surprises in addition to our events just for those who watch the stream.

Events Will Still Occur: Our Holiday-Themed events will still occur throughout the year. There will be days that we take off from our original streaming schedules for one of our Holiday Events. For example, this year's Halloween Run will take place on a Sunday. Instead of streaming at our regular time, we'll be streaming the Halloween Run instead. There is also a section on Twitch called "Upcoming Events" in which there will always be a graphic of our upcoming events. 

Subscribing To The Channel: You can now subscribe to the channel if you wish! We're still in the process of setting something up for those who do subscribe and/or follow the channel. In the meantime, keep an eye out for an announcement closer towards the end of September or early October for that. Thank you to everyone who shows support whether they're subscribed, followed, cheer, or are here chatting with us! Your support is equally amazing! Here's to a bright streaming future. :)

Skeletal Key Bosses Coming To Pirate101

Ahoy Pirates!

Kingsisle has just announced that Skeletal Bosses will be added to Pirate101. This will bring various bosses that drop "highly requested items" from the game! There will be four different skeletal key bosses for the highest level of pirates. Another round of skeletal key bosses will be added later this year for players of all levels.

There are many other updates coming as well such as an expanded friends list elixir, expanded backpack elixir, and expanded bank elixir. This is something we need in Wizard101! So I'm glad we pirates will get to get something like this first. Now some may be disappointed at this moment because we haven't received a world update yet.. However, keep in mind that this is the first time years that they're updating the game more than once within a few months! It shows that Kingsisle is not giving up on the game, so we shouldn't either. 

Pirate101's Future: My Prediction


This may not be the most popular opinion at the time, but I'm predicting that Kingsisle is preparing the game for Steam by adding features such as Skeletal Key Bosses to the game. Pirate101 is clearly an amazing game that I think would do very well on Steam. I'm sure many others believe the same thing. I also predict that Kingsisle will add a new world update along with the quality of life updates. Don't give up hope on the game just yet. Let's hope that they're still preparing for a world update.

August 2018 Producer's Letter


We're Ready For The Next World!

Ahoy Pirates!

I hope you're having a wonderful Monday. Wait... Mondays? Wonderful? I have to say that it is wonderful for me because I'm finally feeling a little bit better! I've been sick over the past few days which explains the lack of new blog posts. Today, I'm back to announce that Autumn & I have finally completed Valencia 2 on our Witchdoctors!



If you read my previous posts about our Witchdoctors, you know that we've been side questing so when we finally defeated Kane, we would be level 70 (the current level cap). Around the first few months of this year, we defeated Kane on our Musketeers, however, we were at least 3 levels behind where we needed to be when we defeated him. We were prepared this time around! We completed as many side quests as we could and both leveled up to 70 before we entered the final dungeon.



The final dungeon was not as tough on our witchdoctors as it was when we first defeated Kane on our musketeers. Autumn was able to buy a few henchmen to keep us healed up & attack when we're unable to attack. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The Henchmen Are An Amazing Pirate101 Feature! I'm so glad Kingsisle added this to the game, especially since you are in control of the henchmen's attacks or heals. 

In the end, we defeated Kane! We're now officially ready for the next world update. I'm thinking the next villain will be The Queen (above). As for the world... Well, there were three that were mentioned quite a bit in Valencia 2 and after. These three are Polaris, Grizzleheim, and Darkmoor. I'm leaning towards Polaris being the next world. I guess we'll have to see what Kingsisle has planned for us on this week's Kingsisle Live! Be sure to tune in:

Thursday, August 30th at 4:00 pm Central
Please... let it be Polaris!
