Catching up with Wizard 101

Like I need an excuse to show off my home :) And though I love my little Marleybone manor, it doesn’t even come close to comparing with the marvelous work others have done on their homes. Every time I visit one, I feel like spending hours just peeking in room after room. ...

Wizard 101: Housing slump? What housing slump?

I scurried my way to visit a housing turtle as soon as I finished patching Wizard 101. I wanted to get started decorating my house as soon as I could, but which? I’d been thinking about buying one of the Wizard City castles, but when I tried to decorate it one last time on the Test server, I found the outside difficult to work with. I talked it over with Kasul, and he convinced me to go with a Marleybone home. ...

Wizard 101: All ten player houses

I read on The Friendly Necromancer’s site that little leprechauns had appeared all over Wizard City, ready, willing and hoping to give everyone who talked to them 50,000 gold. So, my excited overspending on the first night of housing on the Test realm, was erased! When I logged in, I found more than that had been erased – all the characters had been reset, and I had all my original money back but had to buy those islands again. ...

Wizard 101: So, Malistaire. We meet again.

I don’t want to talk about Kraysys. But… five times! Five times I killed him last night. Add that to the dozen times or so I’ve killed him before, all but one of those times specifically to try for a chance at my Life school hat. No luck. My alt on the other account, Allison, won it once, not that it does her any good. We can share stuff between characters on one account, why not between all the accounts on the family plan? ...

Wizard 101 unveils player housing!

Hinted at by Quinn Hexthief a couple weeks back, KingsIsle has finally introduced their player housing. And it looks FANTASTIC! I can’t WAIT to start building a wizard tower of my own! It will have seven – no, TEN – floors, and anybody who wants to visit me will have to battle two to four monsters at once, and they will ALL BE YOUR SCHOOL OF MAGIC! Bwahahaha! (Thanks to gamemom for the heads up!)
