My favorite Wizard101 year entry.

My favorite year/s - Do I have to pick just one?

This was the year housing came to Wizard101, although I like all parts of Wizard101 housing has become my passion. I love to decorate them, show them off and tour them. I have done housing in many games and none stand up to the standards of Wizard101. My very first house was the Royal Playhouse from there it was history. I wont go into how many houses I have but I will say allot? My all time favorite houses are the Winter Winds Tower and The Build-a-Castles where you can build anything from amazing castles to how about a football Stadium? Wizard101 still to this day brings out some of the most amazing houses and decorations. Cannot wait to see what the future of Wizaard101 housing brings.

In 2009 I became really fascinated with other ways to bring Wizard101 into my life. I saw a Scavenger Hunt on Wizard101 Central and joined this amazing site and met so many great friends, Jester and Olivia took me in like family, I'm there to stay. I actually won a autographed Malistaire poster from that contest. Its still framed on my wall along with so many other things I have gotten throughout all my years in KingsIsle games. 

From 2009 I grew with more and more love of this game and wanted more ways to give others information I learned . So a friend told me about blogging. I know its not in 2009 but it was in 2010 I started blogging and in that year I became an official fansite. I am so honored to talk about Wizard101 and now Pirate101 for many years to come. 2011 was a whirlwind and getting to go and meet some of KingsIsle and being part of something special, so honored. My life has never had so many great people in it. I'm so truly honored to be a part of the KingsIsle Community and meeting all the wonderful players has truly gave me the biggest gift of all.

Here's to many more years to come!

Yours truly
Paige MoonShade

Dear Someone, HELP!

I and me crew be stranded on an island. me ship was on a voyage t' Skull Island. Very soon it started t' rain and a storm began. I steered t' ship t' t' nearest land. T' ship was called Bstarboard Griffin. IT docked was near rocks, when it sank half way. I eat coconuts and edible seaweeds. I have been prisoner o' t' Cutthroats! I Need your HELP!I heard from t' sharks t' place be called Cutthroat Bay.HURRY 'UP Or We be Doomed.

Ambitious Christina

Ahoy thar! Please read me message. Don't throw it away. I be seriously in dire need for help. Me ship was capsized durin' a tempest and I landed on a deserted island, which be home t' several mighty Cutthroats. They stole all me valuables and I now be a pitiful vagrant. I mis' me home dearly. I'm afraid that I might die o' hunger or Cutthroats will kill me. I feel like bein' Robinson Crusoe, but I really don't want t' be him.

Could you please come with your pirate mateys t' rescue me? It's very simple actually. I be near Skull Island. From north-east, I can see t' big skull on t' main island. I be on this island with hardly any vegetation on. Sometimes those Cutthroats will dock onto t' island. I believe you know how their ships look like. I be now hidin' in an abandoned shack near t' coast. Make aye that you sneak in, or else they might hear you.

If you rescue me, I will definitely reward you with lots o' gold, however much you want! Forgive me that some words be smudged because I be writin' with a small piece o' charcoal. Once again, thank ye!

Captain Dark Samuel Walker

T' who ever finds this im Captain Dark Samuel Walker and im stuck on this island with no treaaye, no loved one, no parrot, and thar's termites eatin' up me peg leg. If you still find this before im went t' Davy Jones' locker chances be im still alive. But i dont care t' be remembered, so i ask you read t' last line o' this letter and then destroy it. Why? Because only a fool would get stuck on an island, huntin' treaaye that dont exist. But then again, only a fool would read this letter all t' way through.,If your gonna want t' find me im currently in cutthroat bay on t' shore beside my broken moquistan ship, but if you were t' find me im hidin' behind a giant rock. For goodness sakes, even if i were still alive how would you save me from all these cutthroats? What would i do after i was found? But get lost again and fail t' find even t' easiest treaayes, So do yourself a favor and stop readin' unless you'd really like t' know what t' last line o' this letter is. So do you want t' know? I bet your ready t' skip down and just read it already. BUT DONT! Well you really can't Why? Because im runnin' out o' paper needed t' write t' darn thin'!

KingsIsle First live Stream- Sept 2014

Yesterday was the very first of many I would hope where  both community managers Leala (Professor Greyrose) and Tom (Dworgyn better known as One Eyed Jack from Pirate101 ) talked about Wizard101 6th birthday year.  They took a closer look at the Arcane Bundle and answered some player questions and gave out prizes. If you missed it you can catch the video HERE.

During the live stream many of us players partied in the commons. We talked about what was being said , laughed with Leala and Tom and everyone agreed that I need to use piggles and wraiths for my football players, Thanks Tom. I have all the piggles and I might have all the wraiths already . Great idea by the way. ;) liam's house( above) is one that I really really loved and want to see. There were many more including my football stadium I am still working on to this date.

Paige Gives the KingsIsle one great big field goal , Touch down Winner!

What I can tell you this was a added pleasure to see KingsIsle in a new way and bravo to Leala and Tom. You both were spectacular! Can't wait to see more of these and Thank you for taking the time out of your very busy day to give us this.  ((((hugs)))) from Paige

Wizard101 Guest Poster -Alric Mist

I am all too familiar with the many hobbies a wizard can do after they've finished their last quest, being both PvP and Pet Warlords as well as catching every fish available so far. Recently however, I have found decorating to be something truly magical, offering a sense of accomplishment and joy that, for me, has yet to be rivaled. 

Early this month i finished work on my very first house, a Red Farm Barn, and in the months that it took to complete, I feel as if going through the trials and hassles of decorating have truly inspired me to become a more creative and thought provoking person. For a very long time i never cared to delve into decorating, as I figured it most likely wasn't an enjoyable and probably mundane undertaking. My brother, Edward Mist, has always been a big fan of decorating, and he never fails to impress me with his dedication as well as his ingenuity. Eventually this inspired me to give decorating a shot, as I realized there had to be something to love in it. After my brother taught me a few box and rug glitches i set off on my own to learn what it takes to be a truly great decorator. Using my Farm Barn, which I initially bought for solely gardening purposes, I used a nice wide open area to create a miniature village, using primarily Zafarian decor. When I completed it i felt a very strong sense of pride and fulfillment. It was then that I knew that I needed to give decorating a serious chance, and before i knew it, my garden was evicted and i was a full-time decorator.

After months of hard work and experimentation, i finally completed my first home and decorating became my new favorite past-time, and with my new house being a Celestial Observatory, I hope to go more grand and ambitious than I ever thought possible before. This entire experience has taught me something extremely valuable, that passion and enjoyment go hand in hand, and so long as you have a passion for what you are doing, you will find joy in what you do and will always strive to ascend to a higher place than where you started and perhaps even discover new passion along the way.  You can find my house under the decorated category in Castle Tours, look for Red Farm Barn by Alric Mist, and I do implore you to make a visit, as sharing the culmination of this grand experience with my fellow decorators is a huge part of what makes decorating such a pleasant and rewarding adventure :)

Pirate101 Sept 2014 Update Brings a Special Surprise.

Along with the September game updates Pirate101 introduces  the new Grizzly Beast Pack! This is one pack I have been waiting for because it brings with it my favorite looking pet I have been asking for since I saw it in the pet morphing tent. The Heck Kitty fits me so well , after all I am the black cat of the entire Pirate101 fleet. ;)

Not only does this pack bring new and exciting pets but new companions too? There are Beastmaster companions for every class.  Beastmasters can summon the new pets into battle with you and I was so excited to receive the Witchdoctor companion.  Khord summons the heck kitty,  I was so excited the first time I saw the kitty summoned and boy can this kitty fight. I couldn't wait for him to summon the kitty again.

Did I mention this was a pack? The grizzly pack also comes with furniture! Not only furniture but pet furniture! All the tents around Circus Maximus, pet toys, interactive pet items, pet food dishes and cat trees/scratchers. There's even habitrail set up,  these pieces connect together. I do wish the pets went inside them though.

This pack even comes with energy gear, check out the yarn ball I have equipped. This update also brings: new masks , face paintings, hair styles and  so much more to the crown shop. Don't forget to check out the vendors you never know what new and exciting accessories they may have. See ya in the Skyways!
