Wizard101 Launches On Steam!

Hello Wizards!

Yesterday, September 6th, 2018, Kingsisle officially released Wizard101 to Steam. This was a great move by Kingsisle in the right direction in terms of promotion of the game. Wizard101 made it to the Most Popular New Release this morning and it was also charting at #1 among other categories such as Massively Multiplayer and Free-To-Play.

Wizard101 was also on the front page of the Steam Website. The current ratings are positive and the game is currently on page two of the top-selling free-to-play games! It's nice to see Wizard101 beating even new games in popularity. The game is a great game and it seems that the paywall didn't stop many people from buying the game. So a major congratulations to Kingsisle on making such an amazing game. Here's to many more new wizards joining the game!

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.
