Something happened on Twitter the past few weeks that I feel I should blog about today. I don't think it's something we should let go of just yet because we need to learn from our mistakes so something like this doesn't happen again. Last week a wizard on Twitter (not naming them), had a ton of contests.. You would think a ton would mean giving a lot of little crown codes but that wasn't what happened. This wizard ending up giving more than $5,000+ worth crowns codes and bundles away! I knew something wasn't right when I kept seeing him give away 60,000 crown codes. If someone gives away that much, something isn't right and you should contact Kingsisle. Official Fansites listed on the Pirate101 & Wizard101 Fansites might give away a lot of codes but nothing worth that amount of money. Other blogs will probably even have contests but if it seems too good to be true, then don't take that chance to enter for a code. I have a few steps you should take to keep your account safe just in case something like this happens again.
- Gifts For Passwords: Don't give away your account information to anyone! You're supposed to keep your account safe so no one takes your account from you. If you give your account away, it will end up being banned and you'll have to create a new Wizard101 account if you want one. Don't give your password to someone that's promising crowns, bundles or anything. They are just lying so they can get your account that they won't have long.
- Crown Generator Codes: One thing I believe that happened on Twitter is that this person had a crowns generator or went on a site that gave away codes like this that were fake but still applied crowns to the game. Kingsisle will always find out if you have put fake crowns on your account so if you end up believing someone that's giving away thousands and thousands of dollars worth of codes and you apply the code to your account, KI will take away those crowns and probably end up suspending you (maybe worse, but I'm not a KI employee so I don't know). If you are the person that makes the crowns, you will be banned!
- Strange Websites: I mentioned above that you shouldn't give away your password for codes and I've noticed that there have been sites that ask for you passwords so they can apply the codes to your account. THEY ARE FAKE! If a site asks for your wizard/pirate password, report it to Kingsisle so they know and then they can have that site taken down. Thank you all for reading and please follow these tips so you can keep your account safe!
