Coming to Wizard101!

The Crown Shop is getting a makeover with improved categories, new sub-categories and a Recommended Items section. Recommended Items are popular in the Crown Shop with other players that share your same school and level. Messy Arcane Builders will be pleased with the “Restore Original Castle” button that’s being added to their Arcane Builder’s house. You can use this button to put all of your Castle Blocks back to the original configuration that came with the Bundle. Also, the Spiral Cup Gauntlet will no longer be limited to Friends only, but will not be usable during Castle Tours or Castle Games. These and many more bug fixes are coming soon to Wizard101.
 
 
 
 

New Prepaid Cards

 
 
 
 

New Dollar General Combo Cards

Have you seen the new Dollar General Wizard101 and Pirate101 combo gift cards? These are a great gift for a friend or family member (or maybe even yourself!) that plays both KingsIsle games. When you redeem your combo gift card, you’ll receive 5,000 Crowns or a 1 Month Membership in 1 game and a pet in each game! If you redeem this card during the month of September, you’ll get a Blossom Pixie pet (that gives 1 Empowerment Card) in Wizard101 and a Crimson Crawlie pet (with the Riposte Talent) in Pirate101.

If you’d like to know more, Stars in the Spiral took a look at the new Dollar General combo card on their blog.
 
 
 
 

The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge in the Spiral

 
 
 
 

ALS Awareness in the Wizard101 Community

The #IceBucketChallenge has been making waves across the web and Twitter lately. It seems that everyone--including lots of celebrities--has been spreading awareness about the debilitating disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (also known as ALS) by dousing themselves with ice cold water, making a donation to their favorite ALS charity and challenging their friends to do the same. To learn more about ALS and the Ice Bucket Challenge, visit ALSA.org.

Several Wizard101 players have created their own spin on the challenge inside the Spiral, including many Wizard101 fansites!
