Free Trade and Test Realm

In this post I'll be covering the the test realm, which is open! And I will also be covering free trade in runescape.

First I'll be covering free trade in Runescape. From now on, February 1st, 2011 will be a date to remember! It is the date the most controversial Runescape update in history was reversed, trade limit and PvP worlds. Now that's all over, free trade is here!

In wizard101 news, the test realm is open again! Looks like their is plenty of updates to keep us happy for a bit. Unfortunately u don't have the time at the moment to go on or cover the highlights of the test realm. BUT after my snowboarding trip I will make it up by posting videos of the brand new houses, and maybe a thing or two more I find.

Next week I'll also post about my secret project, or as I'm calling it now, "Project G" and some of my Runescape progress.

Tempest Time

Well, it seems three is the magic number for me in Pet Hatching. My third time mixing Luke's Wraith and Jeremy's Stormzilla resulted in a Tempest instead of Wraith the previous two times. I couldn't tell you how happy I was when I saw this,

(Of course it was 21 hours or something like that when I first mixed it.)

I'm hoping it manifests a power-pip talent and another cool talent or two. I'm planning to raise it soon, once I get further with my current project, which I will tell everyone about in a future post.

Anyway, Tempest is currently my favorite pet. Next up: hopefully a Tempest Hound or one of the Hydra-Wraith mixes.

Heres a pic of Luke with his new friend

In other news, Jeremy is FINALLY done Grizzleheim! Although he was almost done it before, now he is completely done it, Ravens included. It a few henchmen, but everyone got through it alive! Death Raven really didn't like my Myth minion, and every other Raven apparently didn't like Jeremy so it was a surprise the life henchmen was able to keep me alive! But before the Ravens Jeremy hit a respectable amount on the Gurtok Barrier Demon,

That ones gonna hurt the morning... but needless to say the demon went down without too much trouble thanks to a Storm Minion(not henchmen for once lol)

And February 1st the EPIC return of Free Trade and PvP in the Wilderness, something 'Scapers have been waiting over 3 YEARS to comeback. (thank you JaGeX!) So, February 1st won't be a Wizard101 playing day, but more of a 'Scape like crazy, PvP, give stuff away in RS day. Can't wait for it!

Old McDonald's In The Spiral?

Well, words going round about the test realm being open, which is confirmed. Although Kingsisle hasn't announced it yet, neither on the Wizard101 Launcher or Wizard101 Test Launcher. Apparently farming is being introduced, which seems it will be like crafting. Unfortunately, because KI has not acknowledged the opening of the Test Realm, I cannot download it and give more info. Hopefully soon.

In a completely unrelated matter, because of the time I have been putting in the other online game I play, Runescape, I will be adding a paragraph or two about it in every few blog posts and maybe a Runescape item here or there on the site. Of course, I will still stick to the Blogs theme of Wizard101 80%-90% of the time.

And a special thanks to Iridian for the gift, Thank you :)

The Grand Scheme Of Things

Finally, Jesse is a Grandmaster Sorcerer! And he's loving his Grand gear(all but the ring)! Can't beat a Judgement with 125 damage per pip! Still deciding what the final look will be, but I hopefully will figure it out soon.

In other news, see Selena Gomez LIVE! Coming to a world near you! And by that, I mean see Selena Gomez in the live realm at Crab Alley. You can get yourself a nice Selena Gomez statue and picture furniture items! I definitely suggest checking it out if your level 6+ because this quest is for a limited time, meaning the Selena Gomez pic and statue will become discontinued, never to be obtained again!

Someday, these items could become worth a pretty penny! (If Kingsisle ever adds item trading.) In Runescape, another game I play, an item at first thought useless, Party Hats and Christmas Crackers, were given out at Christmas as a gift. When Crackers were pulled by two people, they gave a random color Party Hat and a piece of armor. That armor was worth TONS of money then and hats nothing, so they were simply discarded. Eventually, while this armor stayed obtainable, hats were no longer able to be obtained, sky rocketing price to what now is over 400 million peices of in-game gold. Thats close to 1/4 the max amount of money you can have in that game!

And I still can't get over the Swiftshark mount! 15,000 crowns($30) is a hefty price tag for a crown item, but without a doubt an awesome mount! Ride in style while dishing out righteousness in the spiral(including soon to come Celestia) with the jaws of justice!

Selena Gomez In The House, err, Spiral!

If you haven't read, teen pop sensation Selena Gomez is in the spiral for a Celestia based quest to rescue her. I haven't been able to do this quest because I haven't had the time to load the test realm, so I will probably wait till the live realm. If you want to see some screenshots from the test realm, you can see this post on The Friendly Necromancer's blog.

Unfortunately I haven't gone onto Wizard101 lately because I haven't had much to do(did my sidequests, stuck at secure house) so I've been leveling up my character on Runescape. I'm gonna try and tackle the secure house today, see if it was one of the towers they shortened in the last update, wish me luck.
