15 Years of Wizard101 Central - "Thanks for the Memories" Raffle

[Willowdreamer]

Isn't it fantastic that Wizard101 and Wizard101 Central have been in our lives for the past 15 years? For many of us, we had children who discovered the magic, for many others - you WERE the children who experienced the magical charm of your Wizard's story. Now you may be adults with small children that you are introducing to this game we all love.

In celebration of the 15 year milestone, Wizard101 Central is holding a RAFFLE!

Rules:

1. In order to enter, the user account must have been created prior to September 1, 2023.
2. Only one entry per account, entering multiple times will disqualify all entries.
3. Entry posts must include thanking the names of at least three (3) members of the Central Community who have given you the best memories of these past 15 years (or whatever part of that 15 years you have been here at Central). Using the @ symbol in front of their username should "Mention" those members, but you must spell their username exactly right for it to work.
4. Winners will be randomly chosen from all entries.
5. The Raffle Contest will run from today until 11:59:59 pm US Central time on September 30, 2023. Entries after that timestamp will not be valid.

Please note that there are many, many more than these three who have added to my memorable and best Central encounters and engagement. So with heartfelt and sincere thanks, I list @AluraMist, @Willowdreamer, and @VictoriaWildsong. Thank you for your dedication to this community, daily inspirations and wisdom.

Wow has it been 15 years! I started playing back in 2011 and I've had so many fond memories of the game and I am still around. I would like to thank @Bailey Jade for the years of help making the perfect pets and helping out the community. You are a wonder and amazing. I would like to thank @Rainmancer for the years of friendship that continues this day. You are an incredible friend and you always know how to share a laugh. I would also like to thank @Caspeen for all the racing pet help and helping me hatch my first fast hound. I won some races with that pet and remember having so much fun. You are an inspiration to all derby members. Finally I would like to thanks @Anisalashia a new friend that is patient with me as we try to knock out this final boss in the drain. Thank you for your patience. We will get it done!

Thank you all for making my 12 years of game play incredible. Looking forward to many more fond memories.

@Ryan was the first knowledgeable wizard I ran across. There have been several more throughout my 11 years playing the game, but @Ryan was the first. He helped me train and use my training points correctly to setup my deck. He taught me about gear setup. Without his assistance it probably would have been a tougher go for a little while longer. Friendly guy. Always willing to help.

@Kiley Soulhunter is my friend. I don't see much of her anymore, but she always surprises with a pop-in message from time to time. She was the first person I had chats with outside of the game. We chatted about family, vacations; things like that. Of course, we talked about the game. We both labored over Potent Trap when it was so difficult to get just to finish a crafting quest. I hope she is doing well.

and of course, @AluraMist. My "off-topic" buddy. I so much enjoy your daily thoughts, moments of inspiration and coffee talk. Who could go without your game updates too? Who else is going tell me when member benefits are going on? Very thoughtful, very smart and a friend no one can live without. When this all crashes and goes away, I'll remember you most of all. Thanks!

Shout outs to @Angel Eyes and @FamilyWiz. Haven't seen you in ages, but you're missed. Hope you still prancing around the spiral.

Yes, I was a child when I made my wizard101 account and didn't even know how to play wizard101 yet. I just ran around in wizard city farming the kraken. I have learned a lot over the years like that I need membership to advance in the game. In 2018 I learned that your pet can also be helpful to you as in battle and stats. At first I equip my pet as decorations. I thank @sunshine13 for showing me what pets are really used for. @Dylan Windwalker for helping get the badges I wanted. Also @Eric Lionheart you might not know this but I really don't know how to work this website its still confusing to me. I get on and off the website because I really don't know how to get around it. The last couple of days I learned some new things all because of you!

I want to say thanks to some members that I've seen on the forums for bloody ages!
@AluraMist, @KingNothing, and @Maria DragonHeart

​Also, thanks to @Wolf HexWeave for the profile picture (that I need to update lol)!

[LookitLight]

I want to say thanks to @~Kestrel~, who I know to be a spectacular and determined person.

Also thanks to @overtaker9, who was so determined to meet me that they're part of the reason I came to this site.

Finally, thanks to @Willowdreamer, who I remember fondly from the time of the Pirate Message Boards. Your willingness to help others for so long is heartwarming.

[Dylan Windwalker]

Hmmm I could thank just about anybody lol To prevent myself from writing an entire book of thanks though (Do I type too much or not enough haha) I'll just stick to 3 friends (in no real order). First I'll thank @Arwen Mythweaver. It pretty humble that I can share what I know and there's been a lot of times where my wisdom has made a difference. I appreciate knowing that! @Kris for being a chill person to talk to. @Hollywood for lending me that Coconut Bear that I never really received and should ask you about soon lol

Ehhhhhh I could 3 more. @Pegasus Unbound and @Jonathan Greenflame because you both keep my threads alive, perhaps even keeping the entire site active within out community. @WilliamWind for being my partner for Central Guild Raids (please save me from Vanguard lol).
