The all-star meet and greet!

Hey guys! Marissa told me about this All-star meet and greet that she got invited to. So since I haven't been on for a while I haven't been invited yet. But if I don't get invited I'll just be one of the visitors and see Marissa going nutty as usual. :P Well I copied nad pasted this fron John's blog-

Hey there spellcasters! John Lifeglen here to let you in on a little secret. The All-Star Meet & Greet is up and running! I'll let the flier speak for itself
Props to Cassandra Hexthorn for the amazing graphic as I am graphically challenged ;)

Yep, that's right! All kinds of heavy hitters will be there! This party is being hosted at my Watchtower Hall (surprised ya didn't I? Well this party will be to break it in right. It's been constructed for quite some time now, I just wanted to unveil with a bang. Attend the event, see the Watchtower-good deal right?). Port busses will be loading in Golem Court of Unicorn Area One at 8:00 PM CST. The bus will leave promptly at that time. Two more busses will run in 15 minute intervals at 8:15 and 8:30. 8:30 is the final bus of the evening. If you are unable to make the 8:30 bus, please comment on this post as Heather Emeraldflame (our marvelous hostess) is arranging the port bus schedules. We hope to see you when the stars align! Please note, the Bloggers' Club Countdown/Timer also leads to this event. Until the timer triggers, the 1st port bus will not leave.

We hope to see you all there!

Your Friend Always,

John Lifeglen

A new story, a new page

Hello! I was looking at some interesting stories on the Wizard101 site and i was thinking "hmm maybe I should do a story". So, I am going to make a new page and start typing away the new story! When my story is published on the new page check it out!

What a dramatic night

Ok, this may not sound like the sweet girl I always am. Well one of Marissa's ex boyfriends Chase Deaththief broke her heart. He lied to her, and she ported to one of her friends and she saw him say "I'm dating Erica" behind her back. And when I went to give him a piece of my mind he said that he's better off without her. He said that she barely talks to him. Well since Marissa is a nonmember for a short time she can't port to him. Also when she is trying to mkae conversation he doesnt respond and she's being polite and not disturbing him while he is questing. Now he hates Marisaa for no reason, he hates me because I was standing up for her. Also everybody got mad and started fighting. Thank God she is back to dating Chris. And lets hope they stay together forever. Also I said I was going to put up an evil post >:D.

The Quiet Diviner's new playlist!

Hey guys! I was looking at allot of Wizard101 blogs and I saw one with a music playlist so i was thinking "hmmmmm". So, since Marissa is pretty much a pro at music she gladly installed the music playlist to my site. Yes she put the songs and some of them with my approval. The playlist is shown ALLLLLLLLLLLL the way below the homepage. Bye! :)

Update Notes

Begin your journey to Celestia



An urgent message has come from a faraway world!. For those of you who have completed the Final Countdown quest in Dragonspyre, visit me, Halston Balestrom, in Ravenwood. I urgently need your assistance!

These are the Preview Quests to Celestia. The world of Celestia will be available later this year.


Note: Due to community feedback, these preview quests will not be required to gain entry to the new world of Celestia when it is released.

Don't Fear the Reaper



Snorri Oysterbloom in Grizzleheim wants to speak with you, but only if you've completed the quest "I'm with the Band"!

If you like these quests, you may be interested in how they were developed and designed with Eric Bloom of Blue Oyster Cult. You can read more at Massively.
 
Crafting comes to Grizzleheim



Torald Wayfinder finally has a new set of recipes, bringing new Grizzleheim items for you to craft. But the really big news is that he was able to find a recipe for a Grizzleheim House!

The crafted Grizzleheim house will be a definite challenge even for our Master Artisan Crafters. Please note this house can only be crafted once per character and if you already have the maximum number of houses (3) on that character, you will not be able to craft this house.
 
We know you love your homes, but sometimes unwanted guests arrive, so we're giving our players more ways to control who is in their house.



There are now privacy options to only allow your Friends (but not their friends) to teleport to your home. Look for this in the Privacy Tab when you press ESC in the game.


The owner of a house can send guests away with the "Send Away" option. Just click on a Wizard in your Home and the Friends panel will appear, where you will see the option to "Send Away". The Wizard that was sent away will receive the message "The owner asked you to leave."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
More excitement! With the supply routes to and from Grizzleheim populated with millions of Wizards, Grizzleheim housing is now available! Look for it in the Crowns Shop.

Some updates to pets, big and small. We listened to our players and reassessed some of the features associated with the Pet Pavilion. Details below.



The prices for Hatching pets have been adjusted.


The process of pet Hatching now has a confirmation window to ensure both parties agree to the transaction.


All new level 48 quest reward pets will receive the Power Pip talent.


Life pets such as the EarthWalker will have life boosts, not Myth like some currently give.


IceZilla is now only available through the hatching process.

Changes are underway in Dragonspyre



Based on the feedback of many of our Wizards, we have taken a long look at Dragonspyre and made some minor adjustments that will ensure that the world is fun and challenging both for players who play in groups, and for those who play solo.

Living in a lava filled world has had an effect on the residents of Dragonspyre.


the health of many creatures has decreased


the experience rewards have been increased


fewer creatures will need to be defeated to meet quest requirements


fewer items will need to be collected to meet quest requirements


several of the gauntlets have fewer rooms


We feel these changes bring Dragonspyre more in-line with the difficulty to reward balance of the other worlds of the Spiral.
 
Player vs Player



In the next few days we will be implementing a temporary solution to the problem of chain stunning in the Player vs Player Arena. When a player is stunned, four Stun Shields will appear instead of one. Please note this is only a temporary solution while we investigate other ways to resolve the issue of chain stunning in the Arena.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Clothing


A new Beastmaster Clothing Set is available in the Crowns Shop! It will increase your maximum Pet Energy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Residents of the Spiral


Old Smokey has found a new place to hang out - look for him in the Ironworks


Dusty Shadowcloud now offers more snacks for sale.


A new Pet Shopkeeper has arrived in Marleybone!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Badges


The Master of the Oasis badge will once again be rewarded for completing all the Krokotopia quests. Those who have previously completed all the quests will receive the badge right away.


The Savior of the Spiral badge will no longer be rewarded for simply participating in the duel that defeats Malistaire. Players must have and complete the quest to receive the badge from now on.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Snacks


The Commander Canteloupe has been promoted to Captain Canteloupe!


Pets are now able to 'love' more snacks from their school.


The humble Tomato will remain in the veggie aisle.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spells


Third time's a charm. Feint will now correctly display the debuffs on the player and opponent, correctly reflecting what is displayed on the card.


White squares should no longer appear around a spell when it is cast.


Death Wizards will find their minions will cast more interesting spells.


Earthquake will now remove prism spells and Spirit Armor created by Rebirth.


Pets that come with a card will now appear to cast the spell when the Wizard chooses to cast that spell from their deck..

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other


The Gift Icon and notification will now only appear when a player logs in. If you change areas, the notification will disappear, and you must log out and back in to see the notification again.


Cyrus has been using his red corrector pen to address minor spelling errors
 
If you obtained your School Specific pet from the level 48 quest, between May 25 2010 and July 8th 2010 it will not have the Power Pip chance talent.


If you would LIKE this talent on your pet, please fill out this form.

Mr Lincoln will review this poll every Friday, and alter the pets accordingly the following week. If more information is needed about your pet, he will contact you through the email address you used when you registered for Wizard101.

Journey to Celestia

Begin your journey to Celestia

An urgent message has come from a faraway world! For those of you who have completed the Final Countdown quest in Dragonspyre, visit Halston Balestrom in Ravenwood.
To learn more about what's happening, see the most recent Update Notes! And look for a new special mount in the Shop!

The Crowns Shop now includes- the Beastmaster set, Celestian sword, Dragon's Fjord, and the Dream Filly or what some people call it like Marissa- The Unicorn

But Marissa has told me that her friend Angel Stormwraith tried to reach Celestia in the Test Realm and Live Realm. So honestly I think either they didn't put up Celestia or there's a bug.
So Marissa is planning to wait until Angel lets her know like when he can accesss Celestia so Marissa can start and Marissa and I are helping each other with our blogs. Since I'm the gossiper and she's the Member I'll tell her what I know and she'll send me pictures in member places. For example, the Marleybone pet shop and Celestia.
