Quest With Us In Pirate101!

Ahoy Pirates!

I have some awesome news... Every Thursday, Autumn & I will be streaming Pirate101! We're planning on creating new pirates and questing them in the game. However, it won't be any normal questing stream. We want you to create a new pirate & join us on our questing adventures!

One amazing thing about these new Pirate101 Streams will be if you get behind and miss a stream, you'll have a week to catch up to us! We'll be questing our pirates together for each stream. We're still working out a few details, but our plans are to stream Pirate101 at least once a week. This means we'll be questing together every Thursday! Keep reading for more information.

Create A New Pirate https://www.pirate101.com/create_pirate

You'll need to create a new pirate and quest him/her through the tutorial. After you create your pirate, wait until our first stream. As I've said above, we'll be doing a little bit of everything (NXP parties, questing, helping, etc.) If you've never played Pirate101 before and want to, feel free to click on the link above.

Join Us Every Thursday https://www.twitch.tv/edwardlifegem

We'll stream Pirate101 every Thursday at 6:00 pm Central. If you miss a stream and you're behind, you can catch up that week or if you're having trouble on a fight, we'll help you. Feel free to click on the link above to access our Twitch Channel.

Schedule & Catch Up Links: Below you'll find a schedule of our upcoming Pirate101 Questing Streams. You'll also find blog post links that show where we ended up each week of questing. Feel free to read these blog posts to see where we ended up so you're able to catch up with us. All links will be in order so you can use each post as a guide for catching up. If you don't see a blog post link, that means we'll be streaming for that week! We hope to see you there.

SpiralRadio101 Birthday Event Recap!

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful Labor Day. It's forecast to rain today, so my plans are to be inside planning for events & ideas for blog posts throughout this month. Speaking of events and blog posts, I'd like to talk about a very special event that I attended yesterday, the Decaversary SpiralRadio101 Event.

SpiralRadio101 is an Official Wizard101 Podcast that streams every Wednesday at 8:45 pm Central on Twitch. The hosts, Stephen Spiritcaller and Christina Icedreamer (Icywiz), put on an amazing event stream for Wizard101's 10th Birthday. Yesterday was also Icywiz's Birthday so we got to celebrate two birthdays in one event! :D 

After a bit, we got to teleport to Icy's Massive Fantasy Palace. This castle was connected to other castles where you could run through each teleporter to access different freebies. I made my way back to the Massive Fantasy Palace after I visited all of the castles. Once I made it back, I began taking many screenshots of all of the wizards at this amazingly decorated castle. 

Everyone got to PvP, play housing games, and more while at the party. Prizes were given away to attendees in Twitch as well. This event really reminded me of an old Ravenwood Radio afterparty event. These would occur after every show they would host. They are the first streamers in this community and this year Ravenwood Radio & SpiralRadio101 turns 9 years old this October. That's 9 years of streaming! Congratulations on such an amazing podcast. I thank you for an amazing event as well. If anyone reading this post would like to follow SpiralRadio101 on Twitch, feel free to click on the link below. I hope to see you attending other fansite events as well - you'll find new fansite events every weekend this month.

Happy 10th Birthday, Wizard101!

Hello Wizards!

Today is a very special day because Wizard101 is officially 10 years old. While the game was created before this time, it wasn't until September 2nd, 2008 that Wizard101 was released to the public. It's amazing to see this amazing game has been here for 10 years. Congratulations, Kingsisle, on such a successful game.

All of us have many amazing memories of this game. Wizard101 has provided a lot of us with amazing memories - whether it's the first time you met your lifelong friend or even deciding a career path. There are many in the community that has done both of these things and more. It's a very special community! So today, I thought I'd list a few of my favorite things about this amazing game.

The release of mounts back in 2009 was a huge deal for me. It was my very first time accessing a test realm and being able to spend over 200,000 crowns (which Kingsisle allowed on the test realm at the time) on all of the new mounts. They only offered a few mounts, a few of which were the broom mounts. Many wizards zoomed to the test realm to see these mounts, which we didn't have on the live server. Mount races took place all over the place! Kingsisle adding mounts to the game was one of their best updates. Today we have so many different mounts, but this shows just how much Kingsisle is improving this game with their amazing updates.

I've mentioned this before, but I'll mention it again. The Diary of a Wizard events has been one of my favorite memories of the game. They inspired so many people, including myself, to have events of their own. There are many people today that events and this what makes Wizard101 as amazing as it is. Events throughout the community are put together to bring everyone together to celebrate the game that we love. It's nice to see all of these events whether they've been here awhile or they've just started. Memories are being made! This community is one main reason there have been 10 years of the Spiral.

There are so many wonderful memories that I'd love to share on this post that I couldn't even fit all of them. I've made so many great friends, especially when I've needed them the most. Thank you, Kingsisle, for creating such an amazing game. There are many people across different religious backgrounds, nations, and more in this amazing community. No matter who we are, what we believe, or where we are from, we'll always be one community. The Wizard101 Community. Here's to many more years of Wizard101. :)
