Grizzleheim and more on the Test Realm! |
|
Jun 19, 2009 - 7:57 PM - by Jester

From Wizard 101.com:
June Patch Notes
Welcome to the June 2009 Patch Notes. One of our biggest updates yet to Wizard101 so let's get started!
Grizzleheim opens, a new world of Viking Bears, Ravens and Wolves. We're introducing a Bazaar that lets players buy and sell items they've earned or found in the game. Crafting lets players create their own equipment and Treasure Cards. We've added Grouping that allows players to team up with friends. And last but not least the introduction of Chat Channels and Open Chat.
Read on to find out all the details about these and other updates to Wizard101!
These Updates are currently only available on the Test Realm.
Grizzleheim
All players over level 5, both Paying Players and Free to Play, will first encounter the Viking Bears of Grizzleheim in Olde Town. Paying Players can explore and advance through Grizzleheim, and Free to Play players can preview the common area of the world.
Inspired by Norse mythology, Grizzleheim is an airy, outdoor landscape of snowy mountains, glacial ridges and towering trees that is home to three new Wizard101 tribes - Bears, Wolves and Ravens.
To get started on your new adventure, be sure to visit Baldur Goldpaws in Olde Town, you can't miss him, or his Viking Ship!
As student wizards adventure through subsequent worlds, Grizzleheim will offer new quests, new locations to explore, new opponents and new Viking-themed decorative housing items interspersed throughout the mid and higher levels of the game.
Grizzleheim is a parallel world to the current worlds of the Spiral, and not a progressively more difficult world such as Dragonspyre. Due to this, and the addition of several non-combat related features to Wizard101, we felt at this time that there was no need to raise the current maximum level beyond 50.
Wizard101 has a Bazaar!
Olde Town is the place to be - there you will find the new Bazaar. This new Bazaar gives players access to items found by other players, in all the worlds of the Spiral.
Players can sell their extra items to a new shopkeeper named Elik Silverfist. That's me on the left! I'll pay you the value in gold for your items based on supply and demand. If I already have lots of the item you are selling me then I will pay you less gold for yours. If I'm low or out of stock on the item you are selling, I will pay you more gold! No matter what, I will always offer a better price than other shopkeepers.
You can also buy items from me that other players have sold to me. The more of an item I have, the cheaper it will be, and the fewer of an item I have, the more expensive it will be. If you see an item you like, buy it, it may not be there next time you visit.
All prices are based on my current stock of items, so shop often for that special bargain, young Wizards! And don't worry, if someone sells an item on Wu Realm, and you're on Pixie, you'll see it in my inventory - I've got all the Realms covered!
You'll find me in the Bazaar building in Olde Town - look for the big signs!
Time to get Crafty!
Wizard101 is introducing a whole new side to being a Wizard: Crafting.
This Crafting system introduces hundreds of new items into the game. First up, is new equipment - all new hats, jewelry, robes, wands and other equipment. This new equipment includes items that span bonuses for multiple schools. They will exist in all combinations, but are meant to enhances spells from your primary school, and any other school's spells that you have learned.
One example is a Myth item that boosts the damage bonus of Myth Spells, but also increases the accuracy of any Storm spells you may have.
You can also craft furniture, and you might be interested to know that there is a Recipe for a Carousel!
In order to craft items, you'll need to find Recipes and Reagents. Recipes are instructions for crafting items. Reagents are the ingredients used in the recipes, and include items such as stones, vials, wood and Treasure Cards. Many of the new reagents can be collected in adventure areas, purchased at the Bazaar, found as rewards for dueling creatures, and purchased at the Reagent shopkeepers.
Who can be a Crafter?
EVERYONE can become a Crafter. Free to Play Players can collect any number of different recipes and can craft many fabulous pieces. Paying players can access higher tiered recipes and reagents in advanced worlds.
Players cannot fail to craft an item, as long as you have all the reagents required for the recipe, you will successfully create the item, just make sure you have room in your Backpack!
Where do I get Started?
Your journey begins in Olde Town, with Eudora TangleTree. She has a quest for you that gets you started in the world of Crafting.
Ok - So what do I do?
First you must complete the first crafting quest given to you by Eudora TangleTree, which rewards you with a Crafting Station and a Crafting Slot. You can also buy Crafting Stations from furniture shopkeepers. You must place your Crafting Station in your Dorm room or Castle to be able to use it.
Second you must purchase a recipe from a Recipe Vendor. They're located on each of the worlds of the Spiral.
Third, you must gather the reagents used in the recipe. Reagents are ingredients. Some reagents can be harvested throughout all the worlds of the Spiral. Others can be purchased from Reagent Vendors. Some creatures will drop reagents when they are defeated.
Fourth, you must have an empty Crafting Slot. A Crafting Slot allows you to concentrate on making an item. Once you use it, you must wait for the timer to refresh before you can make another item.
Lastly, when you have your recipe and reagents, go to your Crafting Station and use it. Select the recipe you want to make, and i fyou have the required ingredients, press "Create" and make the item. The item you created will appear in your backpack, so make sure there's room!
Can I Improve my Crafting?
There are three tiers of advancement for Crafters. Each tier grants players a new badge and a new series of recipes become available to them. There are Recipe Vendors spread across all the worlds of the Spiral. Some items are only available through Crafting.
Can I make my own Treasure Cards?
From now on, only some Treasure Cards will be sold in the Libraries. Instead of buying Treasure Cards, players will be able to Craft Treasure Cards that correspond to their primary school.
Here are some icons and definitions for Crafting:

Advanced Chat & Chat Channels
Open Chat
One of the enhancements to Wizard101 this month is Open Chat*. Open Chat will allow players a more open communication environment between 18+ players who have a valid credit card on file with us.
This chat feature is in response to our community's requests. To ensure the highest level of safety, we have chosen to launch this for our active Subscriber community only. Please note that this option is off by default, and you must actively select this option under Account Management at Wizard101.com.
Our terms for in-game communication with other players will remain the same. Violent and abusive behavior, as well as the exchange of personal information is still not acceptable.
The following updates to chat will apply:
Menu Chat (default setting for under13)
♦ players will continue to see only Menu Chat.
13 to 18+ Text Chat (default setting for 13+)
♦ players will continue to see only our Dictionary Text Chat from both 13-18 and 18+.
New 18+ Open Chat
♦ will be filtered for profanity but will allow numbers and names.
♦ will see 3 colors in the chat window: white means 13+ can see it, yellow means 18+ can see it, red is filtered
*Accounts must be 18+ and must be an active subscriber with a valid credit card on file.
Chat Channels
Wizard101 now has different Chat Channels that allow players to communicate to other players who are in the same Realm, Group or Area.
You can choose a channel to watch and participate in, by clicking on the tabs at the top. (If you are not in a group, you will not see the Group tab)
Here are the Definitions and Icons that correspond to the new chat channels.
"All" Chat broadcasts to up to 150 people in your current Realm. If there are more than 150 people in your Realm, you can cycle through the different “All” tabs. More “All” tabs will appear depending on the population.
Say Chat is similar to the current Chat, that only broadcasts to the players immediately around you.
Group Chat only broadcasts to the players within your current Group. If you leave the group, you will no longer be able to chat to that group.
Text Chat is similar to the current direct chat abilities, however now this is not restricted to players on your Friends list.
System Chat is reserved for important messages from our system, including in game warnings of downtimes.
Click to Select
Players can now select someone through their chat window. If you want to select a player that is not in your area, but who you can see in the chat, simply click on their name. Left click their name to select the player and right click their name to send a Text Chat message if they have Text Chat privileges.
True Friend Code Update
Players that you have exchanged True Friend Codes with, outside of Wizard101 will now show with their names in Green in the Friends Panel.
The True Friend Code chat channel will now allow players to chat directly to each other without the dictionary chat restrictions. This chat channel will be filtered for profanity, and players can still be reported for their actions within this chat option.
True Friend Codes should only be exchanged between people who already know each other outside of Wizard101. For your own safety, do not post these codes where strangers can see them, or give them out to people you do not know outside of the game.
Grouping
Players can now group together and form a temporary team of up to four. This will allow players to more easily complete Dungeons and quests as a group and reserve slots in their duels for other group members. To put together a Group, simply click on another player and the Friends Panel will appear. Click the option to Add to Group.
Once that's accepted, the player will show in the new Group panel of your Friends List, along with other players in the group.
Party groups have their own chat channel, and to learn more, read the Chat Channels section above.
Privacy Settings
Players will now be able to select whether to Allow Friend Requests, Allow Trade Requests, Allow Teleports and Allow Group Invites.
A Note from Mr. Lincoln:
Hello Students!
I'd like to take a moment and offer a friendly reminder that ALL chat is monitored and every report of misconduct is thoroughly investigated.
The faculty at Ravenwood has made allowances in the chat filter to offer a measure of open communication between wizards, and we believe that Ravenwood students are quite capable of using the chat system appropriately.
Please note, however, that any attempt to circumvent the filter or engage in improper dialogue can result in the loss of chat privileges or full suspension from school (this includes exchanging of personal information, harassment of other wizards or other inappropriate dialogue).
Also, those students that choose to harass other players by issuing false reports will be dealt with directly as well.
Wizard101 is a game for all to enjoy and you doing your part to keep Wizard City and all the other worlds a wizard-friendly place is sincerely appreciated by the faculty and fellow wizards!
Details, details, details.

|
May 21, 2009 - 4:21 PM - by Jester

From Wizard 101.com:
KingsIsle Entertainment to Launch New Wizard101 World: Grizzleheim
Online entertainment company KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. today officially revealed plans for Grizzleheim, a new 3D world to be added to the popular virtual world Wizard101 (www.wizard101.com).
The often silly characters and worlds of Wizard101 are influenced by literature; history and pop culture that give the game a depth and quality appreciated by adults, and make it enjoyable for families to play together. Safety features aimed at pre-teen players include a collaborative play style, a chat system with many options and a character name selector.
Inspired by Norse mythology, Grizzleheim is an airy, outdoor landscape of snowy mountains, glacial ridges and towering trees that is home to three new Wizard101 tribes - Bears, Wolves and Ravens. Players will first encounter the Viking Bears of Grizzleheim, great traders with the ability to travel the worlds of the Spiral, in the free-to-play areas of WizardCity. As student wizards adventure through subseq uent worlds, Grizzleheim will offer new quests, new locations to explore, new opponents and new Viking-themed decorative housing items interspersed throughout the mid and higher levels of the game.
Grizzleheim is expected to roll out beginning in June. As with other new content, the world will launch first on the Wizard101 test server, where subscribers will help beta test features before it goes live in the game. Wizard101 has an ESRB rating of E10+. Pre-paid gift cards are available at major U.S. retailers.

Wizard101 Gift Cards are Available! |
|
Apr 30, 2009 - 10:16 AM - by Jester

Wizard101® Virtual World Surpasses Two Million-Player Mark and
Launches Gift Cards at 7-Eleven® Stores Nationwide
PLANO, TEXAS - April 30, 2009 - Online entertainment company KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. has announced a gift card program for family-friendly hit game Wizard101® (www.wizard101.com), which recently surpassed two million unique users who have registered to play the game.
Starting today, $10 prepaid Wizard101 gift cards are available in 7-Eleven® stores nationwide. Purchasing through local outlets offers friends, family and fans of the 3D virtual world of Wizards and spell-casting more options for unlocking advanced game content.
“Wizard101 gift cards give our growing community more flexibility and parental control in their purchases – beginning with a way to purchase advanced game content in a store,” said KingsIsle CEO Elie Akilian.
The $10 price point makes Wizard101 gift cards an affordable birthday gift, allowance treat, or a fun surprise for the in-game pet collector. With the new gift cards, players who don’t have a credit card will have more independence in the way they spend small increments in the game, whether they decide to unlock new areas of the game or purchase equipment and accessories for their Wizard101 characters, such as wands, treasure cards and holiday items.
Each card offers a limited edition collectible pet available upon redemption from one of four special sets: Protectors, Assistants, Adventurers, and Heroes. Pets from these sets will give players better powers such as increased accuracy, defense, damage, and a special spell card that can be used during duels.
In addition to the special abilities listed above, the gift card pets will be available in colors, patterns, and clothing that cannot be found anywhere else in the game. The first set, Protectors, are available now. Each month beginning in May, a new set will become available to gift card purchasers upon redemption.
Wizard101 is a family-friendly virtual world of wizardry in which magic comes to life in a quest that involves a massive cast of good, evil and frequently silly characters. Players take on the fantasy role of a Wizard apprentice at the prestigious Ravenwood School, where they learn, collect and cast spell cards, make friends, play mini games and more. Wizard101 is designed for all ages with the safety of young players in mind. The game contains no blood, and characters don’t die if they are defeated in a duel of spells—they simply go to a safe area in the game to regain health.
The online game was awarded a 2008 Parent Tested Parent Approved Media Seal of Approval and is rated E10+ by the ESRB. Anybody with a Windows based PC can join the Free-to-Play areas of the game for as long as they like. KingsIsle lets players choose subscription or microtransaction methods for advanced content. Family plan subscriptions are $6.95 per month, and general subscriptions are $9.95. Microtransaction zones give permanent access to particular streets or areas within the game for as little as a $1.
