<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey guys!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m hoping everyone is enjoying this time of giving thanks.
I wanted to take this opportunity to thank anyone who reads this blog and anyone
who supports KingsIsle’s community in general. Everyone is always so kind and generous
and I’m proud to be a part of it. :)</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In other news, the results from my last poll are in! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The question was “Which world had the best story line?” The
results are as follows: <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One vote for Wizard City</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Zero votes for both Celestia and Grizzleheim</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">TWO votes for Marleybone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My vote goes to Grizzleheim but that’s probably a bit biased
as I am an ice wizard. :) I do love Marleybone as well though. I adore the Sherlock
Holmes theme. I own the entire Sherlock Holmes collection and I love to catch
the references as I journey through that world. And Wizard City is a classic.
It’s the world where we first discover our powers as a wizard and our destiny
to defeat Malistaire. It doesn’t surprise me one bit that it would be someone’s
favorite. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The next poll is about something rather new and exciting. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“What is your opinion on shadow magic?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I gave a few potential answers but if my suggestions
do not express the excitement (or lack thereof) you have for shadow magic, then
leave your own opinion in the comments below! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Again, thank you for reading this blog; I hope you enjoy it.
And thank you KingsIsle for creating these wonderful games that we all share a passion
in playing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">See ya in the game!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">P.S. KI says thank you too but they say it in the form of
free stuff! Be sure to check the launchers in Wizard101 and Pirate101 for KI’s
thank you gifts! :) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">School has started… so during the week I won’t be as
involved with the 101 games as I was during the summer. But this morning I checked
my e-mail and found out it was Wizard101’s 5<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> birthday!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m so excited! Why? Because I got some awesome presents! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So it looks like the presents that players receive depend on
when they created their account. This made me very excited because I had
created my account in July of 2009 which was less than a year since the game
had been released! I had to wait to receive all my gifts though. So I patiently
waited and when I checked back I found this in my gift box. (The hatching elixir
was from something else)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A permanent mount!?!? How did they know I wanted a new
mount? :) It looks really cool too! Mounts usually run
anywhere from $10 to $30 in real world cash in the crowns shop and to get one
for free!?!? </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I did some research and found this page. <a href="https://www.wizard101.com/game/5th-birthday-items" target="_blank">Ta da!</a> It looks like a very
select group of players got these mounts which I think is cool!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So band camp has started and my posts will become less frequent but
I will continue to do my best and keep this blog as up to date as possible. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First off is a “more in-depth look at Ryan "The
Relentless" Tucker's Make-a-Wish visit to KingsIsle to be an Honorary
Producer for the day at KingsIsle Entertainment” <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">–KI post on Facebook</i>. Here is the link to the YouTube video. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JemzsxoVcvs" target="_blank">Ta da!</a>
Ryan looks so happy and near the end I was holding back tears. Words cannot express what a wonderful thing KingsIsle did for Ryan. Watch this video everyone, it is very touching and will make your day! :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Second is the August producer’s letter. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now here is my usual
reaction to the monthly producer’s letter:</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Oh, another producer’s letter… Do I want to read it this
month? I don’t know… Usually it just recaps everything and I already know all
that happened this month…” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well this month I read it and I’m glad I did!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></o:p> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here are some quotes from the letter:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;"></span></span></em> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<em><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">“</span>Want to change up your ‘do? We’ve
released some new Hairstyles! You can find even more new (but familiar) ones as
rewards from boss duels, which will be coming soon to the Crown Shop! We’ve got
lots of fun and funky ideas for future ones, so stay tuned if you’re looking
for a particular style.”<o:p></o:p></span></em></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love the new hairstyle feature! I personally
pay attention to the art and story of the game more than anything else so
having hairstyles is a great addition! Also if you really read that quote, it
says there are new hairstyles already! But they are only drops right now. I
wonder which bosses drop them…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><em><span style="mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri;">“</span>New world themed furniture sets
(there are more of these to come)!”<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This new feature wiped out all of my wizard's banks and they are
still recovering! :) It sounds like I need to start saving up again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Near the end of the letter are some hints as to what is to
come.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hey everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My thoughts on Aquila? It’s awesome! I have next to no negative
things to say about this new expansion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The artwork is awesome!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The storyline is awesome!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The rewards I’m sure are awesome! (If they ever drop for me)
:)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Seeing tons of players in one area again with a single goal
in mind is definitely awesome!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The hidden bosses are awesome!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Did I mention that the artwork is awesome?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Personally the artwork in Atlantea isn't as fantastic but I was able to snap this neat picture at the end of the dungeon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm not quite level 90 yet so Tartarus will have to wait for now but I have seen pictures and watched videos and the dungeon looks epic! </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other updates such as deck renaming and item locking are very useful updates that I enjoy having. Remember that to use item lock you have to turn it on from the options tab in your spell book!</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Personally I’m a fan of the sun school because of the
increased damage cards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I noticed that the Moon school got no votes! I can see why
but I do have a few friends who like to use Polymorph Treant every now and then
(very useful if there’s no life wizard in a group).<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Maria… Sophia? Time for dinner!” I called. No response. I
hadn’t heard Maria throw a fit for half an hour so something was either very
good or very bad. “Maria?” I tried again. I headed up the stairs. “Please tell
me that you didn’t try to stuff your sister down the laundry chute again. I
thought you two grew out of that kind of-”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I expected something to be wrong, but not to this extent.
The ladder that unfolds and leads into the attic was down and I saw a faint
light coming from it. I climbed the ladder quickly and found a flashlight
shining onto an empty cardboard box… and no girls. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I picked up the flashlight and used it to search the attic
for any evidence as to where my nieces were hiding. But once the light found my
spell book open on the floor I knew the girls weren’t hiding at all.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> It had been years since I had let myself look at the
yellowed pages of the spell book that Headmaster Ambrose had given me when I
was my nieces’ age. The spiral on the front still glowed with the magic that
enchanted the book. I flipped through the pages that still told me my school,
level, health, accuracy, etc. When I flipped to the page that contained a map
of Wizard City I saw that the commons button had been recently used as the
timer was still counting down from sixty. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Dread filled me. I closed my eyes and tried hard not to
panic. I should have never of kept my spell book. Especially since I had two
curious kids in my house. I waited for the timer to finish counting down to
zero and without a moment’s hesitation I touched the commons button and felt
myself plunge through the spiral.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> I landed on my feet with no problem. Like riding a bike I
thought to myself. To say that something had changed would be an
understatement. Of course things were just as bright and happy as they had been
when I left but if you asked me there were at least twice as many kids and
adults running around the commons. Wizard City had become popular. It wasn’t
just that though. When I looked out across the pond I saw a new tunnel leading
to who knows where. Before I could try to make out the words that were written
above the tunnel I was almost run over by a lamb with a… was that a rickshaw? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> “Sorry!” The wizard who was in the rickshaw yelled back at
me as he disappeared into the Ravenwood tunnel. What had happened around here
when I was gone? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></div>
<div align="center" class="ecxmsonormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Maria and Sofia were still my priority and thankfully
Headmaster Ambrose’s office hadn’t seemed to have moved since I’d left. I made
my way past shouting wizards and vendors who had spilled out from the Shopping
District looking for some poor wizard to sell their cheap goods to (everyone
knew that if they wanted to find anything good they went to the Bazaar). The
noise was familiar and yet completely strange. The sounds of pet dragons and
piggles reminded me of mid-day classes when our pets would get hungry and
didn’t want to listen to Professor Greyrose drone on about the different types
of snowflakes. But the increased noise threw me off. This wasn’t the home I had
lived in for a year when I was a kid. When I approached the door to Headmaster
Ambrose’s office I didn’t hesitate to open the door and much to my relief when
I opened the door I found not only Headmaster Ambrose and my old ice professor
but also Sofia and Maria.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hello everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In my most recent poll I asked if you played Wizard101 with
your real life friends and family. The results came back with the answer “I
love to play with my family but my friends have no interest” having the
majority of the votes. I was surprised that no one had both their friends <em>and</em>
family playing the game. Personally though I just play with friends and whomever else I happen to
meet in the spiral. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">For the next poll question I’m wondering what the best astral
school is and why? It’s always fun to hear the debates about which school is
better. You can answer the second part of the question in the comments below. If
I get comments from each point of view I’ll mention them in the results post
and maybe then we can see which school is the best!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></o:p></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On to more depressing news. Vanessa or any of her relatives cannot
venture into Aquila right now. My computer decided to be difficult and won’t download the
test realm. :( Thankfully KI is looking for the root of the problem as we speak. Hopefully I can post about this new expansion in the near future, but right now
all I can comment on is the <a href="https://www.wizard101.com/game/update-notes/testrealm" target="_blank">update notes.<o:p></o:p></a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></o:p> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">First is the featured update, Aquila. I’m really glad there isn’t
another level cap raise so I don’t have to rush Vanessa through the rest of
Azteca. It's not fun to play the game when your only goal is to rush through content only to be met with more content.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Second, new minions! I’m not sure how I feel about this. I was never
a fan of minions in the first place so I wonder if these are supposed to be
super sophisticated minions like the henchmen.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Third, you can now lock your items. Yay! This was never a huge
problem for me but I know it was for a lot of wizards out there and so it’s
nice to see that KI has a solution.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">And now for my favorite update… You can name your decks! I’ve
wanted something like this for a while now. I would always forget which deck
was which, especially if it was a wizard I hadn’t played for a while. I’m also a
fan a labeling so it’s nice that my decks can be a little more organized now.
:)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are also lots of miscellaneous updates including something that's going on in the Dragonspyre library...</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I hope everyone had a fantastic week and enjoys the new expansion
once it goes live!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

Since then I've made so many different friends, made a blog, and have been able to enjoy the game along with literally millions of other players. :)<br />
<br />
In other news I wanted to share some screen shots that I took that each have their own story. <br />

<br />
Here's the pic of the first pvp tournament that I watched. There was <em>a lot</em> of people. The next day I decided to try out tournaments for myself but there was a problem. What was the problem you ask?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5dMlmCImDR49QgBYiOAwFOBpzHXxg6BdXBYAXNz_KaSTuitekKTM0kab58U6Ys1r6ydgAeJwyxLv2p6lfdc8uun9WbLDFcAgx2Y5PlcRfEa2HsFJ9aNDjRyDdEapuUPIUW5mMMG5W0vfc/s1600/Picture+2013-06-20+14-38-58.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5dMlmCImDR49QgBYiOAwFOBpzHXxg6BdXBYAXNz_KaSTuitekKTM0kab58U6Ys1r6ydgAeJwyxLv2p6lfdc8uun9WbLDFcAgx2Y5PlcRfEa2HsFJ9aNDjRyDdEapuUPIUW5mMMG5W0vfc/s400/Picture+2013-06-20+14-38-58.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Yeah, I'm supposed to be <em>in</em> that battle. My internet connection decided to disconnect <em>right</em> when the tournament started. On the bright side the other team was also down to two so it was a fair match (but my team still lost that round). Thankfully I was able to jump into the next round. :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPe4mmquFNLnL095-i1KmiYIhR5z4caOGC99Q8ljUAaCc_wuyhXZ7QII6ahsBeer52A84Jicz_d9G38oBUoZ_O2qTgj0oVb17Cg4b1ws-yJ-m3aqr-oyw92zoSp4k0GFg3ALhU4oSSM3Tj/s1600/Picture+2013-06-20+15-32-49.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="233" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPe4mmquFNLnL095-i1KmiYIhR5z4caOGC99Q8ljUAaCc_wuyhXZ7QII6ahsBeer52A84Jicz_d9G38oBUoZ_O2qTgj0oVb17Cg4b1ws-yJ-m3aqr-oyw92zoSp4k0GFg3ALhU4oSSM3Tj/s400/Picture+2013-06-20+15-32-49.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Unfortunately the other team had only two players so we won by a landslide and the same thing happened in the next round. Out fourth round we were put up against three other players and were beaten before we could say "oh no". That tournament landed my team and I in 6th place. I tried again a couple days later and was a bit luckier.<br />

I believe the trophy could use a little work KI. I imagined it being a little... bigger. It's smaller than some of my gold bought trophies that I put no effort into getting and I don't know about the rest of you but I think the trophies (1st, 2nd, and 3rd) should be at least a little bit bigger than the crowns shop trophies. What do you think?</div>

At fist I thought, maybe its a monster from Avalon that I didn't remember or maybe it's from Wysteria. The thing is the picture in the background doesn't look like either of those worlds as far as I remember. I haven't finished Azteca yet but I'm pretty sure that picture has nothing to do with Azteca. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Is this a picture from a world that I'm forgetting? If so, please tell me in the comments.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If it's not form any world that we know, then is this a hint from KI as to what is to come?</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hey everyone! So I was leveling my balance wizard, Scarlet,
in Celestia when I happened upon a forgotten bit of knowledge that brightened
up my day! Over the next few weeks I kept picking up lost bits of knowledge that
I either didn’t know about or had learned and then forgotten. I’m going to start
posting these bits of knowledge so everyone can be smart and save some time and
maybe even some money. I might also post things that can just keep you safe
around the spiral.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">#1. You can craft teleporters!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you want a brand new shiny teleporter then you probably
only think of the teleporters in the crowns shop but there is another option. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Teleporters in the crowns shop cost 2500 crowns each or 9995
for six of them. That’s about $5 a teleporter! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But if you go to Gearwise in the
Celestia Base Camp you can buy a teleporter recipe for 26880 gold! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ll tell you why! It’s because the gold is fake in-game
money! When you spend $5 dollars on crowns to buy a teleporter it’s like taking
a $5 bill out of your wallet and handing it to KingsIsle. But when you spend
gold you are not taking anything out of your pocket. Granted, you do have to be
the right crafting level and either have a subscription or pay with crowns to
get to Celestia. But if you are a wizard who has the ability to do this I say
take advantage of the opportunity to save money! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hey everyone! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I hope everybody is taking up the opportunity to win some
crowns and other goodies over on the official Wizard101 sites (there are also
some contests on Pirate101 official sites as well).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I do not have a subscription at the moment and am leveling
up some of my lower level alts such as my life wizard Sophia Lifeblood. She’s
in that weird transition stage where she’s in between the worlds of Krokotopia
and Marleybone. Side quests have seemed to last forever but she is finally on
her last one and will finally be able to move on to Marleybone!</span></div>

content and barley being able to play through old content, I wondered what
other people do in game that they really enjoy the most. Is it gardening (not
so much for me, I believe it’s rather dangerous sometimes), or do you prefer
leveling your pet (if you have the patience to do that for more than five
minutes then I salute you sir or ma’am), or are you like me and questing is
your wizards life? I put a poll up on the right hand side of this blog. Let it
be known what you love to do in Wizard101! I didn't give what you like to do as an option? Then leave it in the comments, I'd love to hear from other players!</span></div>

There is so much to talk about today including things I've ever noticed before.<br /> <br />First off, I don't know about you but I <em>do not</em> think the first day of summer break should include cleaning your room. If you agree please leave a comment, I can not be the only one who thinks that.<br /> <br />Second, now that I'm not working on three to five page essays every night, I can work on my Wizard101 story as well as the Diary of Two-Faced Esmeralda Jackson over on my Pirate101 blog.<br /> <br />Third, there is something that I noticed today that I have never noticed before. Check out the stone symbols of the magic schools in Ravenwood.<br /> <br />

All you have to do is take a screenshot of your favorite mount. Remember this
can be from either Pirate101 or Wizard101. Also remember to press CTRL+G so
there isn’t anything in the way between your mount and your chances of winning
some crowns!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I’ve been gone for a while and when I say a while I mean
three months. This is all due to four words: AP World History. Not. fun. So
those four words also mean that I will be gone for a little while longer before
I fully become a part of the 101 community again. But I will try my best to
keep posting updates to my stories. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">While I was looking around trying to find out what I missed I
stumbled upon some update notes in Wizard 101. I don’t know how long they have
been up but I am so excited for hairstyles! This has been a subject that I have
paid close attention too ever since I ended up with three wizards with the same
style and color of hair. I can’t wait! Unstitching also caught my attention as
well. It will be very nice to have around. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There will also be a second age of PVP. I’ve never been one
to PVP because of all the problems that occur in the arena but if things really
do get fixed I may just pay a visit to Unicorn Way. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I hope everyone has enjoyed the 101 games in these past
three months unlike I was able to do. Good luck to all in completing your next
great adventure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> We haven’t completely lost J. Todd Coleman today but it sure
feels like we have. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> When I first read the post on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/J-Todd-Coleman/121012684593256" target="_blank">Facebook</a> announcing that J.
Todd Coleman was leaving KingsIsle I had to take a moment to think about what
this could mean for the future. Will we notice when the updates haven’t been influenced
by Mr. Coleman? I don’t have an answer. KingsIsle employs many people who work
hard to improve the games Wizard101 and Pirate101 every day. I would imagine
that it becomes hard to tell whose idea is whose after a while. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> It is clear though that Mr. Coleman was one of the great
masterminds behind these games. Without him, none of us would be able to play
and interact with our kids (or even our inner kid) the way we can today. I
personally never even imagined I would play an MMO until I discovered Wizard101.
Now families can share challenges, laughs, victories, and be <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">a</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">family
</i>(even if they are miles apart). J. Todd Coleman will be sincerely missed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> On the bright side of things Mr. Coleman mentions many times
that he will be wanting to explore new ideas and embark on new adventures. I look
forward to whatever new ideas Mr. Coleman comes up with. I hope we hear from
him soon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">See ya in the game.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Chapter 2 - <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Maria</i></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The page I opened up to was a map.
It showed what looked like a floating island. At the top of the map were the
words Wizard City. But the weird part was that the map lifted off the page like
a hologram and expanded so it was 3D. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Cool,” I said and put my hand
through the map. I laughed at my sisters face, she looked like she was going to
faint. “Oh, lighten up Sophie, it’s not going to reach out and grab you.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Aunt Vanessa will be here soon,
let’s go.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Wait,” I said. I looked at the
bottom corner of the map, there were two different pictures, one of four
arrows, and another of a house. I reached out to touch the one that had the
arrows. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Wait,” Sophie said grabbing my
arm, but it was too late. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The arrows glowed and I was
literally sucked into the book. Swirling colors were all around me as I went at
light speed until it all stopped at once and I fell onto a cobblestone floor.
Well a road to be more specific. I had landed in what looked like a small
courtyard. There were small buildings that looked like houses around me. Off to
my left was a small pond. And to my right was a dark tunnel leading to who
knows where. The area was swarming with people running back in fourth or just
strolling along. Most of them looked my age or a little older. I stood up carefully
not realizing that there was a flying sparkle barreling towards me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Watch out dear!” It shouted. I
didn’t have time to react. I was too stunned that the thing could talk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">SMACK! I fell to the ground with a
thud. I felt like someone had thrown a doge ball at my head. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Ouch,” I murmured. I looked up to
see who (or what would be more like it) ran into me. “Grandma?” I asked.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Oh dear, I’m so sorry. I must have
hit you hard.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">In front of me was what must have
been a replica of a stereotypical American grandma only ten times smaller. And
she had… wings? “What are you, the tooth fairy?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Grandma’s sweet and apologetic
smile melted into a deep frown. “Excuse me? Everyone knows not to compare me to
my half sister!” She looked me over. “What on Wizard City are you wearing?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Wizard… City?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“I’m taking you straight to
Ambrose,” Grandma grabbed my ear with her tiny hand and yanked it hard.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Ow!” She started pulling me
towards one of the bigger houses. This one even had its own courtyard. I was
dragged through some gates and up to the door. Just as Grandma pulled me
through the doorway I heard my sister’s voice. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Maria! Where are you?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Sophie, help!” A wooden door shut
in my face, shutting me out from my sister.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Good Morning! I hope you enjoy chapter one – part 2 of Wizard101 Story.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Chapter one (part two) - <em>Sophia<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Ow!” I shouted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Shh!” Maria put her hand over my mouth. “Do you want us both to get
caught?” she hissed. I shook my head and Maria pulled her hand away. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“So if you say it’s ok to be up here, then how can we get caught?” I
asked. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maria sighed and said, “Fine, we’re not supposed to be up here, ya happy?
But I still want to look around, so be quiet.” </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I did what she said, I always did what she said, I didn’t like it but
what else was I going to do, yell for Aunt Vanessa and then we both get in
trouble? No way, so I just stayed quiet and looked around. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Hey, look at this,” I heard Maria on the other side of the attic. I ran
over to her again and saw another box. </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“So?” I said looking around, we had been up here for a while and Aunt
Vanessa would start looking for us soon. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Have you noticed the dust up here? It’s all over the boxes, but not this
one, it’s like she opened it recently or something,” Maria said like it was the
most interesting thing in the world, but I had a bit more logic than her.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Or, she could have put the box up here not to long ago and it’s nothing
important. What did you expect to find anyway?” Maria rolled her eyes (she did
that a lot in case you haven’t noticed). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Ya know you always ruin my fun. Why can’t you just have an adventure every
once in a while and what I expect to find up here is something to entertain me
so I don’t have to listen to you get all ‘as a matter of fact’ on me,”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maria was so short tempered.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“So what’s in the box?” I asked. Maria opened the box and the only thing
that was in there was… </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“It’s just an old book” Maria said, clearly disappointed. I felt like
saying ‘I told you so’ but then I noticed something. The book didn’t have a
title on it but instead there was a big spiral on the front. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Hey Maria, doesn’t that book look like the spell book that Aunt Vanessa

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Yeah, so?” Maria asked. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I shrugged, “Just thought I’d mention it. Now can we get back downstairs?

stories.</span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello fellow wizards and pirates! </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So more than a year ago I made a small (well not really small… it was
rather long actually) post that contained a new story I was writing. I never
posted more of the story afterwards because of timing issues and I never got
around to it. I have a relatively light homework load this weekend and I was
able to revise the next few chapters that I wrote in the story. Over the next
few days I’ll slowly be posting the chapters in parts. So if you get bored
often and like to read stories for fun (or just like to read stories for fun)
then you have come to the right place! I’m just calling it Wizard101 Story
right now for lack of a better title. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Leave a comment if you like the story or
if you have some constructive criticism for me. It would be greatly appreciated.
:) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Happy holidays and enjoy!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> </span></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: center; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Chapter 1 (part one) - <em>Sophia<o:p></o:p></em></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I looked around the attic nervously. “Maria, are you sure?” I said, I
noticed my voice was shaky and I tried to sound braver, “W-we shouldn’t b-be up
here.” so much for sounding brave. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was talking to my twin sister, Maria, she looked the same as me except
for our hair, and hers was black while mine was blond, but other than that we
looked the same. Our personalities were a whole different story. Maria was bold
and brave, she didn’t care what other people thought and she always did stuff
she wasn’t supposed to do… and she never got caught. I was not like my sister,
the opposite really, I was shy and I was always wondering what people thought,
and I never did anything I wasn’t supposed to do. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maria rolled her eyes, “I’m sure Aunt Vanessa doesn’t mind, she said we
could look around a little.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Yeah, but I just think she meant the bedrooms we’re going to be staying
in.” <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Our parents were going on a vacation for the month and they left us with
our loving aunt. Aunt Vanessa was cool, seriously cool. She let us stay up
late, let us eat almost whatever we wanted and she always told us some made up
stories about a magical place called The Spiral where talking dogs,
salamanders, cows, bears, and many more creatures lived. There were also
wizards, aunt Vanessa claimed that she once was a wizard but we all knew she
was just kidding around. She talked about going around the spiral with all her
friends working together to defeat the most evil person of all, Malistaire.
When she had finally told us she and her friends had defeated him we had jumped
up for joy and started running around screaming in excitement, Aunt Vanessa had
gotten a kick out of that one. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But that had been years ago when we had been about six or seven years
old, now we were 13 and we still liked staying up late listening to her stories
but we stayed just a bit calmer whenever something exciting happened.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">But either way, I thought it was just a little rude to be snooping around
in Aunt Vanessa’s attic without her knowing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“We w-won’t touch anything t-though, right?” I asked nervously. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Maria rolled her eyes again and sighed, “No miss perfect! I will not
touch any of this really dusty junk.” Maria was using her high pitched little
girl voice which basically meant she was going to do whatever she wanted, which
is what she did already so it didn’t really make a difference. I sighed in
defeat. Maria was dead on about the attic being dusty though. I knew Aunt
Vanessa hadn’t lived in this house long but judging by the amount of dust I
could tell she didn’t come up to her atic very often.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">There was mostly moving boxes and that was about it. The only light we
had though was coming from the door that was in the floor of the attic where
there had been a ladder that had unfolded and we climbed up from the hallway. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;"> “Hey, I found something,” Maria said and I
rushed over to my sister but then she made a noise. “Ugh, it’s just a
flashlight, well, at least we can see now.” My sister turned the flashlight on…
and it shined right in my eyes.</span>Vanessahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12038834996599074293noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1726409804593309553.post-32162139728295608862012-12-09T17:35:00.000-06:002012-12-09T17:35:16.405-06:00Catch Up and Contests<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hello Everyone!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A lot has happened to me in the Wizard101 world since I last
posted. For one, I reached level 80! Those last few Avalon dungeons could really
drain you. I thankfully met some really nice wizards along the way and we were
able to help each other get through those last dungeons.</span></div>

</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">That Young Morganthe battle was particularly difficult with
only two wizards. If you did any damage at all it was a small victory. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve only just started Azteca and I can tell that it will be
much more difficult than Avalon from a soloist’s point of view. I’ve had a
couple of friends ask me to help them with some Azteca bosses and their heath
is crazy! The first mob fight in Azteca has over 3,000 health! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">After Avalon and before I started Azteca I began probably
one of the most challenging quests that KingsIsle ever made (without meaning
to). I am on a quest for the perfect pet. I’m starting from scratch and I’ve
narrowed down my most desirable pet abilities to spell-proof, spritely, unicorn, pain
giver, and Sharp shoot. I swapped the more desired “spell defying” for “sharp
shoot” as spell defy was the only talent that one of my pets hasn’t manifested
yet. I haven’t had too much luck yet getting a pet with at least two of my
desired abilities but I’m working on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Last I would like to bring to your attention all the
contests and giveaways that KingsIsle and their fan sites are having.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I hope everyone is having a fantastic Thanksgiving! If you
are going out for Back Friday shopping then I wish you luck in getting the best
deals. Stay safe out there because it’s been foggy around the country this week and
driving can get dangerous.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To end this short and sweet post I took some pictures from
the Ravenwood Radio after party last night. Christina Icedreamer let everyone
see her new Azteca themed house. It’s Huge!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’m loving KingsIsle right now. Just last week I got a
letter in the mail (well more like a map) and received a free companion, it was
totally free on my part. Now everyone over the age of 13 is getting a chance of
receiving a new computer! All one has to do is write a story and writing is my favorite
thing to do. Unfortunately I cannot enter this week’s contest as I don’t play this
game very often with my family. But I encourage anyone who does to write about
it and submit it to KI. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Again I cannot stress enough, FREE COMPUTER… if you
just write a little story. I know I will have plenty to write about for weeks
three and four. I wish everyone luck and congrats to the future lucky winners
of this contest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Here’s the link to the contest page, <a href="https://www.wizard101.com/free-game/show-tell-contest" target="_blank">Ta Da</a>.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Again, good luck to all. :)<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
With my obsession of Pirate101 taking over this blog
recently, I haven’t been writing any posts that are Wizard101 related. Well here’s
one!<o:p></o:p></div>

I know I’m a little late on this but the test realm is up right
now and it seems their primary concern among many others is the “behind the
scenes” changes. What I got from that was I should probably notice a positive
difference in some things, though they didn’t mention specifically what.<o:p></o:p></div>

They have also made an "expanded decorating elixir" called the
"Bric-a-Brac Elixir". If you purchase one of these elixirs from the crowns shop
while standing either inside or outside of your house then you gain fifty more
spaces for decorating items. You can purchase this elixir more than once. This elixir
also works in dorm rooms. :)<o:p></o:p></div>

The friend finder is back and there are a few miscellaneous
updates. Finally they ask you to be kind… and gift some people some items out
of the crown shop with your free test realm crowns. :)</div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Hey everyone! I just made an all new blog that I can post
all of my Pirate101 related stuff on. I noticed that a lot of bloggers just
kept the same blog they had and used it for both games but My Wizard101 blog
title is very “wizardy” and I didn't want to change the title (and truth be told, I also just wanted to make a new blog). :) So now let me introduce you to…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I’ve made a similar post on the site and if you’re ever
looking for the blog it will be the link on the top right hand corner of this
blog.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
