I'll keep this post short and cut out the formalities. Hopefully everyone who still actively reads this blog remembers who I am. 

First off, I'd like to apologize for the lack of attention to this blog. However, after being somewhat in a hiatus state I can safely say that something will be happening with this blog! ....by that I mean it's going to remain dormant for the most part. Cass/Brandon should still remain here and compose posts for your enjoyment. However, for the most part I'll be working on fulfilling my of my own ambitions. You can join me on those adventures over here on this blog: https://the14starsblog.wordpress.com/2016/07/06/blog-post-title-3/

Although I can't promise I'll be posting frequently from time to time I'll post random stuff about my life and whatnot. So again, feel free to join me. Anyways, I hope you enjoy what's left of this blog until I have the will to fix it up myself.

And a message to Brandon: Whenever you see this it'd be great if you could get in contact with me so we can discuss things. Until then...

Update (08 July 2016): The blog's authors have been removed and this blog will enter a completely dormant state. Thank you all for joining us here and I apologize for this abrupt cancellation. However, in the future it may be possible for this blog to return but as of right now I'm simply going to leave it this way.

Valencia Part 2 Thoughts (Part 2)

I am pretty late on this topic (and back to blogging on here altogether) as I wanted to see what other members on Twitter, Pirate101 Central, and the official Pirate101 forums had to say about the announcement from the most recent KI Live of Valencia Part 2 or VL2. Anyways, the main point of this is to talk about is:

1. Part 1 will be about how I think we will get into this new skyway and what will happen in it/who we meet
2. Part 2 will be my ideas about what will happen after this skyway

Please also note that this is what I personally want to happen and you don't have to agree on it, and in fact, you can comment below with how you think Pirate101 will play out after Valencia Part 2.

Bugfixes

We have gotten rid of the gift box feature

Companions now go on bed rest when they take aren't at full health. Ex: 1995/1996 is a 1 hour bed rest

All mounts are now at normal speed due to complaints

We saw how some companions are no longer getting used as feel neglected, so we gave them buffs that are => popular companions

Resetting companions now costs 10k gold with or without membership

All content from Pirate101 will be moving over to Wizard101 as we merge the games to become Spiral101.

Until Next time,                    

Is The Future Of Pirate101 Gone?

?¿?¿The Blog Is Dead?¿?¿

Hi. I understand that this blog has always been minor compared to the other blogs in the community so our absence hasn't effected many of you. But I'd like you all to know that we haven't given up on this blog yet, at least I haven't.

Once I start getting my schedule together I'll try and focus on this blog. I'd like to make a return to the blogging community. And when I do I'll begin posting little updates on certain things. Hopefully by then there's a decent amount of things to talk about. But I won't just talk about games and such. No I plan to do what I imagined from the start.

I'd like to talk about things going on in my life. This way you guys can get my personal views on things, and it gives me something to write about during those dry months where there's no content. As well, I hope that my stories can connect with others and that we can have nice little chats in the Comments Section on said topics. Think of this blog as one of those YouTube Vlogs, but instead with writing ((Thus making it a Blog)), pictures, and a chance for me to improve my writing skills.

OH! And lastly, I know in the past I've mentioned that I'd like to update the look on the blog. And I'm serious. I've just always put it off because I can never stay focused on one thing for to long. But hopefully this Summer I'll finally put my mind to fixing up this blog. And if I forget or get distracted I'll need you guys to help me get back on track. :P

Anyways, goodnight/good morning and I'm looking forward to seeing some of you reading my future posts.

Update 01: I've decided to start working on a new "project" which I'm calling Shadow 2.0 for now. I'll let you guys now more about it in the future.

Why exactly are Myth wizards called conjurers? Well, the answer is simple; the main focus of the school is to create. According to the Wizard101 website, "The Myth School will train its student wizards to summon minions." Our ability to "conjure" minions is supposedly what sets us apart from the other schools, we don't get massive damage, resist, or critical, we don't get heals, or drains, we get the ability to turn our hard earned pips into a useless pest for you to kill in one turn. Undoubtedly the least popular school in the second arc, Myth has steadily lost the throne it held in the Malistaire saga with each new world release. How is it possible that a school who used to dominate PvP, with its signature spell "Medusa," could become as helpless as they are today in 40 short levels? Kindly click "read on" to join the discussion.

~ Getting Excited for Play2Crush ~

It was on January 25th, just last year when Todd J. Coleman announced he'd be leaving KingsIsle to pursue his own course. He had envisioned a new game, a game that will set high standards for future MMORPGs. And throughout the course of the year he's kept us updated with his progress. To the right of this paragraph you can see Coleman's "Mystery Artist" at work. 

Just the other day Coleman released the teaser site of his new game. And featured right on it is the moto of ArtCraft which you can view right here:

Where did we go wrong?

There was a time when our industry took CHANCES.
Our games didn’t have to appeal to everyone, and we didn’t judge ourselves solely on mass market success.
With amusement park games, it’s impossible to lose. With sandbox games, it’s impossible to win.
If you can’t win and you can’t lose, then. . .

What's the point of playing?

I don’t want to kill more rats, fill another experience point bar or collect another meaningless badge.
I want to play a GAME, against PLAYERS where my actions, my decisions and my SKILL will determine if I win or lose.
Allies. Enemies. Alliances. Betrayal. Risk. Conquest. To compete with THOUSANDS of other players for a chance to claim the THRONE.
Even if I lose, the experience won’t feel hollow. I don’t want another worthless trophy.

I WANT TO PLAY TO CRUSH!

With the little link right above you can sign up for the Beta stage which will be here in only 63 days. So sign up, and Play2Crush! I hope to see you there!
