I quit- kinda

Ya, anyone who could be reading this would think by the title that I'm quitting. Well- kinda. Here are the reasons:
1. Wizard101 is fun and all but after a while it gets boring.
2. Nobody even reads this blog, even though I've only had like 11 or 12 posts.
3. I could give this blog to my brother in the future, maybe even my character, but it can be hard to maintain a blog about a game.
4. I have to admit this game is a little bit immature just the tiniest bit, mostly because of spending large amounts of money(60 or 39 dollars) on stuff like in-game money and gift cards.
Don't worry, I'll still post and everything, and if I give it to my brother, he can take it to the next level.
Well. I guess that's why I'm kinda quitting.

Here is your PigSwick Academy Tip for the day:
There is a Piswick School for every RavenWood School:
Fire: Ember
Storm: Tempest
Ice: Frost
Myth: Chaos
Death: Spirit
Life: Earth

The new Update also features a level 60 area HARDER THAN THE WATERWORKS called Tower of the Helephant.
Now, most people know KIFreeGames is on Fire this month, so I tried out a game of Doodle Doug, and I didn't do so good, but I still won a pet snack, an Evil Snowman pet, and 250 gold. Thank you KI! Then my brother tried out some Sorcery Stones and got two awesome Pet Snacks and 100 gold. I went ahead and tried Doodle Doug out again. I got an Eye of Bartleby, a Damage Elixer, and 250 gold! KingSisle is amazing, and a few months after WinterTusk, They release a brand new world and a level 60 area, and say they are already working on another thing, plus the new project. Every One loves KI and Wizard101, See:

  This is a real fun game. I love to play it with the family. The only thing I see that needs to be fixed is the players level. They need to make it where we can get above level 60.

  I started playing this W101 a year and a half ago (stumbled across it on accident) and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Don't knock it until you try it and get your wizard at least to a level 30 (everything prior to that is a little monotonous). I am anxious to see what Wysteria is like, and would love to eventually see some new schools introduced. I also agree that there should be more that 60 levels, I have 2 legendaries just sitting around unused because I have maxed on exp. and don’t want to keep questing with them. Anyways, if you are thinking about joining but are concerned that it is a children’s game you should know that I am a 26 year old woman (with a life!) and this remains to be my guilty pleasure haha.

  I still play this game, so do my kids, and have for over two and a half years. I enjoy the card based aspect, collecting pets, the fully voiced NPC's, and the customization of characters that is available. KingsIsle has put so much detail into the game, and yet continues to make their game accessible and enjoyable to both older computers and those who live in remote areas with internet only slightly faster than dial-up. I give the kudos for that. This is the one MMORPG my kids can actually play without the lack of speed being an instant death sentence.
  Looking forward to the new content.

  The appeal of this is the wizard stuff. The card game, the family aspects, no one cares about those. It is the Harry Potter like feel of being a wizard, going through wizarding school, specializing in a type of magic. If one were to make a game like that, but without the card game aspect or dependance on being a family game, it would be hugely successfull. Thats why the Harry Potter games that actually took place in Hogworts were actually pretty fun games and are regarded as some of the best movie tie-ins. People want to be wizards, few games give them that opportunity though

Test Realm

The Test Realm is online. Here's what there is to test:

A general rundown of what the expansion will contain includes the expected listing of new equipment, quests, plants, and enemy creatures (Goblins, Hobgoblins, Green Men, and Rabbit Guards). Higher-level player wizards should also be pleased by the addition of a new level 60 gauntlet: The Tower of the Helephant.

Additionally, the starting zone's Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, to which player characters belong, will see the appearance of a rival magic school named Pigswick Academy. Wysteria, in addition to housing the city area with the rival school, will play host to two adventuring streets (Pegasus Place, and Tanglewood Way), as well as a magical tournament that will draw competitors from across the Spiral (the world in which Wizard101 is set). If players are good enough, they may even be able to win the magical tournament and take home the coveted Spiral Cup.

With the basic update details out of the way, KingsIsle further hints that this content update has more surprises in store for Wizard101 players, to be revealed in the coming days.

In the meantime, the new content should start showing up on the player test realm shortly, with release to the live servers occurring a few weeks thereafter, at which point each new zone will be available for purchase at the price of 1,000 in-game Crowns each, or free for those that hold subscriber accounts.

Though all this new content should keep players occupied for a while, KingsIsle isn't missing a step. "Over the last year, we've made a commitment to continually add fun and innovative new content for our incredible Wizard101 community," says KingsIsle's Fred Howard. "We're already hard at work on the update that will follow Wysteria, and we'll provide more details on that major update later this year."

Big Post...

KingsIsle's "2nd Project"

    

  

KingsIsle is coming out with a second project soon! The creator of amazing family online games like Wizard101 is rolling out a brand new kid safe game. From an award winning family entertainment gaming company, our second project is sure to delight gamers of all ages

A lot of people know about  the 2nd project KingsIsle is working on. They have completely redone their Products Page, and added WizardBlox and Ki Free Games. Also on their Products Page is some blurred pictures of the new game:

Here's what the Evil Theurgist said:

Ever since March of 2010 J. Todd Coleman has been the executive manager of what we only know as Kingsisle's Second Project. Very little information was known back when I first made a post about their project but fortunately that has changed somewhat. Now we have even more room for speculation and some cold hard facts about the 2nd project. Before we dive into the speculation lets take a look at the facts.

• J. Todd Coleman is the executive manager (source)
• AAA game (source)
• Family Focused MMO... (source)
• "...keep making games like we've done right now..."- J. Todd Coleman (source)
• "...(Kingsisle is) coming out with a second project soon!" (source) 
• "...Wizard101 is probably the 1 Triple A fantasy oriented game... so I think our is strategy to continuing doing that" - J. Todd Coleman (source)

So as you can see we've learned a lot more since I first posted about the 2nd project. So all of this has been brought up recently because between now and last Thursday Kingsisle has completely changed their products page. This now shows Kingsisle Free Games, Wizard101, WizardBlox and of course their 2nd project. Scrolling through the products you will now see a few pictures of the product, luckily for us the same goes for each product. So yes we do have blurred pictures of Kingsisle's 2nd project, while they do not show much they show us what looks to be a part of a the UI and some of the locations we might come to expect in the 2nd project. So before you rush off to Kingsisle.com and look at the Products page take a look below at a much better picture without that pesky red label across one of the images.

Luckily the red label is not apart of the real picture but sadly we still have that big yellow question mark. Oh and if you were wondering where you can find the picture without the label it's in the source code for the website.

So now begins the wild speculation. In the first picture we can see what looks like an arctic area, perhaps this is some concept art for one of the locations in game or maybe, if we are lucky, it is a in game picture. Though it could very well be some clouds that have nothing to do with the 2nd project and was just put in as a place holder. The 2nd picture shows off a lush field with perhaps mountains in the background, again this could just be a placeholder. The last picture, and perhaps the most interesting of the 3, has the least amount of "blurage" of the other 2 but sadly it is the most covered up. There are 2 things we can pull from the last picture:

1. The UI, looking at the bottom of the picture you can see what appears to be the UI or User Interface. While it is not much it can tell us that at least in this stage of development there is a "utility belt" as I call it, think of it as all the pages in your spell book laid out horizontally at the bottom of your screen. 
2. If you zoom in towards the top left and the top right of the picture you will see a light reddish color. It could just be a maple tree or something of the world. The reason I even brought it up is it could be something of the world (like the sky). Because of the implication that the next game will be fantasy orientated. We all know that earth unfortunately does not have red skies so maybe the setting is indeed some far away land.

As time goes on we keep getting more and more information and eventually it will lead up to the reveal whether it be some random day or at a large event, such as PAX or GDC we do know that it will be "soon" and whether or not that goes by "Valve Time" is entirely up to even more speculation. For now all we can do is speculate off of wild guesses or from the very few facts we have, only time will tell if our speculations were correct or absurd, well speculations :)

I can't wait. Hopefully it comes out soon.

Sorcerer 101: Episode 1: The Dryad's Blade

     I reached level 12 on Jesse Wild, my Balance Wizard, and was immediately summoned by Arthur Wethersfield.

     He said I must defeat a Storm Kraken, Fire Crow, and Ice Colossus, to get a new spell. After defeating all 3 elemental beasts, I went to Arthur with reports of my victory and findings. He said I did well, and told me the next step would be summoning a mysterious Balance Minion in Triton Avenue, next to the Overlook Teleporter, that would qive me necessary information to mastering the spell. So I headed to the teleporter.
