Kingsisle Live Recap

Hi there!

Our awesome Community Manager, Mathew Anderson, and awesome senior producer, Leah, had another Kingsisle Live yesterday. This episode was definitely one of my top favorites for many reasons. One reason was that we could celebrate with Kingsisle because this episode hit over 3,400 live viewers! That's a crazy amount of Twitch viewers, so congratulations to Kingsisle!

One thing that was mentioned at the beginning of the show was the celebrations that would be taking place throughout the month of September. Mathew mentioned a calendar on the show (which was made by the one & only Sheldon from Adventures of the Spiral - thank you, Sheldon). Keep an eye out for the Official Fansite Events that will last through September. The first event to take place is the Spiral Radio event which takes place this Sunday! See more information about their event below:

Sunday, September 2nd

1:00 pm Central / 2:00 pm Eastern

Nightside, Vampire Realm

This episode of Kingsisle Live also featured various guests to talk about their new mobile game, Animal Cove, Wizard101, and Pirate101. These awesome Kingsisle employees were great to see and hear from, but the main guest that everyone was most excited to see was Miss Piggle! It was hilarious to see Mathew bring her into camera view. I couldn't stop laughing for a full 20 minutes. This goes to show that he's definitely in the right position because we know what makes Kingsisle Live amazing is all of the randomnessess. :D

One other thing I got to see that I haven't seen since the early 10s was the many areas at the Kingsisle Live event. At one point there were 21 different areas! That last time I've seen something like this at any in-game event was the Diary of a Wizard events back in 2010-2012. However, I believe this was the largest party to take place in the game. Congratulations to Kingsisle Live on such a successful stream & party... Now, I'm not about sharing those spoilers on my blog.. but they also shared a hint of a new character from Empyrea Part 2. They announced that this next area will be about Female Power! I'm looking forward to seeing what they have planned. If you would like to see this teaser, feel free to click on the link below:

While there was so much more in this nearly 3-hour show that I haven't even shared, I will say that this is going to be an amazing memory. I've never seen so many 9 & 10 year wizards in-game. It was nice taking pictures with them & seeing all of the wizards, no matter when they joined, share their love for this amazing game. This month's Kingsisle Live was definitely an amazing show and I look forward to all of the episodes in the future. If you missed it, they'll be uploading the show to YouTube around next Tuesday. Here's to ten more years of this show & game. Thank you for such a great game, Kingsisle. You have truly changed the lives of millions of people. Now, onward to #20!

Busy Preparing For Community Stuff!

Hello Wizards!

I hope you're having a wonderful week so far. I've been extremely busy lately preparing for some community events. Two upcoming events are the Balloon Run, which we announced yesterday, and the Halloween Run. We're putting a lot of work into both events. I've been so busy this week that I had to share a bit of what I've been up to on a new blog post.

Autumn and I have already announced the Balloon Run to take place on Sunday, September 9th. We're doing this event for a combination of events that the Official Wizard101 Fansites will be having throughout the month of September. I'm very thankful for the support that Kingsisle shows the fansites and many other amazing people in the community. I'm happy that the family-friendly events across the community now have a major spotlight! It's going to be nice seeing how the community progresses from here. Speaking of events, we'll continue having our events for each Holiday for this wonderful community. :)

So other than these awesome upcoming events.. we've also been preparing to start streaming weekly. This is something that makes me so nervous but also excited because we get to hang out with everyone a lot more than we ever have in the past. We usually only interact with y'all at the events or on Twitter. We're now going to take it to the next level. We have a lot of plans for the stream that I think a lot of you are going to like. We'll work towards these goals as we stream. I hope you're able to join us for this fun new adventure... Speaking of fun! I made a little recording below. This recording should be near the stream quality from now on. I'll continue improving it as we stream. 

As I've mentioned in the short recording, it sounds pretty good. Then again, I almost said, "Dog Post" instead of Blog Post. I think that since I made this recording before 9:00 am, I can get away with that. Right? No? So yeah... I'm looking forward to streaming our weekly streams and events. There is still so much to prepare for, but we'll figure all of that out as we go. :) Other than all of that, that's what I've been doing over the past week. I've also been excited to watch this week's Kingsisle Live! Speaking of KI Live, they'll be streaming the show today! Hmmm... I should get going because I need to work on a few things before this afternoon. I don't want to be so busy during the episode that I miss out seeing important updates (that has happened many times in the past). With that, I'll take my leave. Thank you all so much for reading.. Until next time, I'll see you around the spiral.

Kingsisle Live - TODAY at 4:00 pm Central

Special Announcement: Twitch Stream Schedule

Hi there!

A few weeks ago, Autumn Dreamwalker & I announced that we had plans to do weekly streams on Twitch. We've decided to make it official and today we're announcing our new weekly streaming schedule! I hope you're able to join us on this new adventure. Keep scrolling for more information:

Official Streaming Schedule: We're proud to announce that we will be streaming Wizard101, Pirate101, and eventually other games multiple times every week! This is going to be a new adventure for us, but I'm sure it'll be amazing. Our current plans are to stream every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Our first stream is set to take place on Tuesday, September 4th at 6:00 pm Central! We hope you're able to join us! Here's our Official Twitch Streaming Schedule:

Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays

6:00 pm Central - 8:00 pm Central

Streaming Weekly/Holidays Off: We'll be streaming weekly, but the days leading up to a major Holiday or on a Holiday are off limits. I firmly believe that everyone should be hanging out with their families around this time. Either way, we'll still be streaming on Twitch every week. We may have a few Holiday surprises in addition to our events just for those who watch the stream.

Events Will Still Occur: Our Holiday-Themed events will still occur throughout the year. There will be days that we take off from our original streaming schedules for one of our Holiday Events. For example, this year's Halloween Run will take place on a Sunday. Instead of streaming at our regular time, we'll be streaming the Halloween Run instead. There is also a section on Twitch called "Upcoming Events" in which there will always be a graphic of our upcoming events. 

Subscribing To The Channel: You can now subscribe to the channel if you wish! We're still in the process of setting something up for those who do subscribe and/or follow the channel. In the meantime, keep an eye out for an announcement closer towards the end of September or early October for that. Thank you to everyone who shows support whether they're subscribed, followed, cheer, or are here chatting with us! Your support is equally amazing! Here's to a bright streaming future. :)
