The most important thing about the wizzy101 Christmas to me are the charity mounts , mainly because they go to charity . I think that that's a really good thing on behalf of KingsIsle so yeah & mainly because its a fun time to spend with friends. Oh & the most Christmas-Like place to me is Grizzleheim . . . But sadly they don't decorate it , they should though !"

2nd Place:
Cody FireSword
"I think Wizard101 Christmas is one day where everyone are happy and friendly .For me is special because I will be with my friends in the game.I don't know where is the most Christmast-ly place for me because if I am with my friends everywhere will be fun and it will be the most christmast-ly place for me."

Kane
"Dear Terri, honestly for me Wizard101 Christmas is not very special because I like spending that special holiday with my family, but that don't mean that I don't like it, I love all the Christmas themed mounts, pets, housing items, etc. For most Christmast-ly place I chose GrizzleHeim because it is full of bears, ravens, wolves, ice, snowy hills and much, much more."

December!!!

Hey wizards and pirates!

Haven't post lately, but I want say Happy December :)!
This month is full of holidays so wish you to enjoy them all to the max!
Other thing is that the amazing Official Wizard101 Fansites(Blogs) such as Paige's Page, Stars of the Spiral, etc. have ALLOT contests for you to enter in!
The sad part of all is that I wasn't accepted for official blog since free made blogs aren't allowed to be (which is a bit discriminating requirement but I won't argue), and well the world didn't end :P!

Have fun all around the Spiral and cya there,
Terri and Scarlet.

Interview with...

Hey wizards and pirates!
Today we interviewed the Decorating Queen... Paige MoonShade!!!
(Hope you don't mind I took it from your blog :)!)

We are very happy she accepted to answer us some questions :).

Well like I said on the interview with Edward LifeGem I love starting from the very beginning, and I was going to ask how did she learn about Wizard101, but I remembered that her very very first post on her blog was exactly about that, if you want to read it head to here .
So other thing about the beginning was:
What made you decide death to be your first school of magics and how many Paige MoonShade wizards you have? 
Paige:
This is actually very simple, I did the test when you first start Wizard101. The very first Paige MoonShade is a Necormancer. She was created way back in 2008. The name came about because I have always loved the name Paige, pretty name isn't it? Reminds me of pages of a good book. Moon because I love the shimmering moonlight. Shade because me and the sun do not get along, I love the cold. There are now 7 Paige MoonShades , one for each school.
~~ Yup Paige is a very nice name :)!
In my country your name will be written like this: ÐŸÐµÐ¹Ð´Ð¶ МунШейд

Next I asked my favorite question you know:
What did make you start a blog about W101, and which is the best thing about having and going a blog?
Paige:
Friday, April 23, 2010 was my very first blog post, wow I had to look that up. I wanted to talk about Wizard101, a friend had told me about blogging. All I could think of is I am not the best of writers. You know what you do not have to be, you just need passion about what you like to do. I saw The Friendly Necormancers blog and said I want one like that. I began writing about my passion housing within Wizard101 the very next day.
~~ This is nice story, but there is one question I want to ask, but will leave it a mystery and will ask other time :).

Next one was a bit magical question:
If you had a magic wand what would you add or remove from Wizard101?
Paige:
Nothing , I think every aspect of Wizard101 has it's place. There are things I do not care for though I know other players do.
~~ I liked this answer. And yes there are ALLOT of players that would change much, but well everyone have to have opinion :)!

That question was specially for her passion :) :
We all know that you are "master" of dorm/house decorating so can you give our viewers some advices to make their houses/dorms more amazing?
Paige:
Wow very honored and thank you. Best advice I can give any player is, details, details, details. It is those little details that can make or break any decorating.
~~ Sometime I will have to take you to my house to say what need to be removed or added :)!

The last question I love to ask is:
What do you think about our blog, can you give us some advices about how to be more attractive and please be honest :)
Paige:
I was reading it this morning. You are off to a very good start. Show what makes up happy within the game Wizard101 or even Pirate101. Let us never forget Kingsisle newest game. Always show your own work/images unless you ask the owner of another site to use them.
~~ I love writing about what I like and what I "recently" found in the game. And yes let us don't forget about Pirate101, another great game from KingsIsle :)!

At the end she asked me:
What makes you happy when you play Wizard101 or Pirate101?
Well first of all the thing that make me most happy in both games is meeting new people!
I love finding new friends and enemies(jk :D)!
Other thing I like is learning something new, you know I am long away from USA and my English is not the best, and I learn allot new things in the game.
Third but not last is that the questline, the characters and all other things make you just take a break from all that in our life and to take us to another magical world full of spells, magics, monsters and even GOBBLERS :)!

Well I want to say thank you one more time for giving us some of your free time!

Thank you once again,
Terri and Scarlet

Thanksgiving and mailbox :)

Hey wizard and pirates!

I want to say Happy Thanksgiving Day to everyone who celebrate it!
Sadly no Thanksgiving Day in my country, like no Halloween, but well we have ours :)!

Other thing I want to say is that I got 2 messages from viewers!!!, for which I am very very happy :)

The first one is from Samantha Rose, in which she writes that she has an amazing idea (for me and hope for you :)). Her idea is KingsIsle to go back to the old world of Krokotopia and to expand it with some more areas and to make more quests based on the Egyptian mythology, including the balance spell Ra and some other things.
I want to say that I will do what I can to visualize some of her ideas, but of course I am not that good in drawing so hope she and you all like them :).

 The second message is from Anthony DragonBlade, who asked: Why not all the fansites and blogs are accepted as official, and  why I don't send my blog to see if it is accepted as official or not?
Well I can't say why not all the fansites and blogs are accepted as official cause is not my work. For that question feel free to ask Pr. Greyrose I am sure that she will find some time to answer that question :).
For the question why I don't send my blog as official is that free made sites like those from blogspot.com are not anymore accepted from KingsIsle, well though I think is a bit discriminating that this requirement wasn't there before time.

Well cya around,
Terri and Scarlet.

Sorry all...

Hey wizards and pirates!
Sorry for not much posting lately, but working and kids get your time indeed (not that is bad of course!)!
Well if ya haven't seen from where come the T-Rex mount and the new amazing Azteca themed house is from the Dino Bundle!!! 
Here's a pic I found on Google but later found out that is from the amazing site called Stars of the Spiral :)

Hope they don't mind I took it.

Sorry again!
Oh and between I am working on one fan idea and soon will post it so open your eyes :)

Have fun, Terri and Scarlet! :)

Our very, very first interview!

We made our very first interview with one of the best Wizard101 and Pirate101 bloggers, Edward Lifegem!
It was our first so we decided to be a bit easy to assimilate, cause we aren't very good at taking interviews since it's our first LOL.
We were very happy that he accepted and let us ask him some questions and we weren't surprised from the awesome answers that he gave us! So here it is with some comments from me and our redactor Scarlet (hope he don't mind of course :)):

We decided to start from the very beginning and our first question was:
"Where did you heard about Wizard101 and  what made you start playing it?"
Edward:
"I found out about Wizard101 on a commercial on T.V. more than three years ago. Cartoon Network. Before seeing the commercial I was looking for a great video game to start playing. To my surprise I noticed Wizard101 and I created an account a few minutes after seeing the commercial. My first Wizard was Edward Wintergem (My Ice Wizard) I loved the game ever since then and couldn't believe the graphics and fun on the game!"

Next we asked:
"How did you decide to make blog about Wizard101 and the amazing time you have in the game?"
Edward:
"I started my blog May 10th 2010 with a wizard named Mary Dreamshade, she own Pie Loving Necromancer (Which has been taken down). We started our blogs to see how fun it would be, she is one of my inspirations to start blogging another is Friendly from : friendlynecromancer.blogspot.com This blog is the best blog in the world and I'm glad I had a chance to see it, Tom's Blog is one of the reasons I enjoy blogging about Wizard101 and Pirate101 so much, His blog just shows that he really loves what he does, and well.. I do too! :)" ~~I loved that answer! I have to say that we decided to start the blog for the same reason to see how fun it would be! And yes The Friendly Necros blog is awesome!

Our third question was a bit funny for me so:
"How do you feel like a creator of an amazing blog that have become famous and have allot of viewers?"
Edward:
"I wouldn't say famous :) I am glad people do like my site though. It makes me feel great each time I gain one follower, I just want to make a thank you post to each follower! That would be a lot of posts though! I am glad to have friends that like my blog :) I love blogging for all of them!"
~~ Well if ya ask me I SHOULD say famous and if you don't trust me ask all your viewers! And yes if ya decide to make a "thank you" post for all of your followers, you will have to find ALLOT of time LOL!

 One of the best answers(like all others! :)) was for that question:
"What is the best thing you can say about having and going a fansite?"
Edward:
"My advice to anyone planning on starting a blog would do it for fun! And your fans of course! Blogging is something that should be enjoyed if planning on creating a blog or site. You may notice you can submit your site for Official status for Wizard101 or Pirate101, if you plan on doing that, think it over. Don't join because you want fame, fortune, or anything else. You should do it for your fans and never forget about them. Another thing you could do by submitting your site and show everyone how much you're glad you're an official site. Show them your support, they are the ones that will get you to that point, Along with your blogging skills of course ;) For advertising, ask people nicely to follow your blog! You can post if you have a Facebook (Make sure you over 13 if not ask your parents!) your new blog posts each time you have one. You may noticing me do that :) NEVER give up! Don't think your blog isn't good enough, it is! Good luck on your new blog or site :)"
~~ This is one amazing answer! And I am so with you about the fame and the fun about the fansites! I am not going to submit my site for an official cause I don't think I am that good like you, the Friendly, Paige and allot others, but of course one day I may be! :)

Our last question was:"What do you think about Pirate101, do you think it will be more successful than Wizard101?"
Edward:
"That's okay! This is my first interview and I have plenty of time! Pirate101 is well... I really can't explain, its a great game! I was trying to think of something bad to say about it, and thought... wait a minute, there isn't! Pirate101 is going to be a successful game like Wizard101, I'm thinking Pirate101 might be more successful than Wizard101. It's bad saying that since I've been on Wizard101 for so long, I really do think both games are very successful. Wizard101 does has 30 million registered users, so it will take Pirate101 a little while to catch up! I'm thinking they will :) When I started Beta Pirate101 was VERY addicting and fun. I forgot that I was actually in Beta to test for bugs, etc.. I couldn't believe my eyes, I know for sure that Pirate101 will be great as you see I've said it 5-6 times already :) LOVE IT!"
~~ I am sure Pirate101 will catch Wizard101 soon :). And i loved the beta too!

That was one amazing interview for me and would like to say one more thank you to Edward for accepting!

See ya all in the Spiral, Terri Spell and Scarlet :)
