I hope all of you had a wonderful time at this year’s Bunny Run event. It was nice to have Sheldon from Adventures of the Spiral invite me on to kickoff the Fansite Festival again this year. Each fansite hosts such amazing in-game events & contests and I hope you were able to attend as many as you could – just to see the hard work they put into both their websites & their activities.
This year marked 5 years since hosting the original Bunny Run back in 2017. I’m glad this event was able to evolve to be among such great fansites here in the community. It’s quite an honor. Anyway, I hope all of you were able to attend this year’s Bunny Run event. If not, no worries, we’ll have plenty of other in-game events coming soon! I thought I’d make a recap post for everyone that was unable to attend this year’s event.
We started off the event by talking about food. Yes, you read that correctly, we talked about food – specifically, cookies. Now, you can never go wrong with cookies unless you make them like a sweet biscuit as my dad did way back in the day, but I always love cookie talk. Although, I may have gotten quite hungry before the stream began.Â
A little later in the event, we started Pet Derby. My pet egg, Gigi, is always practicing once a year for this event. It’s very important for her to make 3rd Place, so she tries her very best to make just that. She is very thankful for all of the support she receives from the community each year, so much so that she will be trying again during this year’s Pride Run event. More details about that on May 10th.
Shortly after the Pet Derby, we did some Hide & Seek. I tried something new with Hide & Seek which I believe the community enjoyed. Since it was so well-received, I’ll be implementing that into all of our future events – but I’ll make things easier to read and better graphically as we move forward throughout the year. Thank you so much for your support. Also, if you won something – message me on Social Media and I’ll DM the code you won!Â
One of my favorite parts of the event was the Butterfly Swarm! I was expecting to receive a Butterfly Rental, but everyone that redeemed the code got a Permanent Butterfly Swarm Mount – all thanks to Kingsisle! It was a nice surprise but also quite a shock. I was like, wait, should I have everyone else redeem it or? What? Why? How? Meow!
Overall, it was a wonderful surprise and I’m quite thankful that I got to give that, and… another Permanent Bunny Mount away to 50 people that attended our event. I have to say I’m quite thankful to be part of such a wonderful community that not only supports my site but also supports all of the other way more awesome websites here in this community. Thank you all for attending this event and I hope to see you at the Pride Run later this year. Thank you for reading and until next time, I’ll see you Around The Spiral.
You’ve just arrived at a new website here in the community called Around The Spiral. Wait, you already know of it? Created 12 years ago? Well, darn, you caught me! Well, let’s just say this is an expansion of my original website, Around The Spiral with Edward Lifegem.
The past 12 years have been amazing! I have so many memories from my old website, but with memories comes a ton of storage. I was very limited on what I could do on my old website and I knew in the future I would move from there eventually. Guides were never really a thing for me and I just stuck with making new blog posts about my adventures through the spiral.
With time comes change. To change up my blog, I thought I’d add a ton of guides for both games. There is so much to explore here on Around The Spiral. You’ll always get a feel of each world with special video and screenshot previews – along with tons of information about the world you decide to explore. I already have so many more plans in the work, but I’ll keep that silent for now and just talk a bit more about our current website!
One main change is that you will see new Wizard101 and Pirate101 themed blog posts not just from me, but other staff members/friends! Our goal is to provide as much information as possible to help make your gaming time less of a research project. That brings me to the topic of gameplay guides. We have two types of Guides – World & School Guides. Let’s talk a bit about each!
World Guides: Each world has multiple sections of information. You’ll notice that they have screenshot previews with types of reagents that can be found in each area, a questline, Zeke quests, cheating bosses’ cheats, and more. All of this will be found on one page to make things more accessible for everyone.
School Guides: School Guides have information about the certain type of school of your choosing along with videos/images of attacks, and school quests! The next major update for this website will be a School Page overhaul which will include so much more information about each Wizard101 & Pirate101 school. But for now, you’ll find the basics of each school on this website.
I hope all of you like this new website. I welcome all of your constructive criticism. Your criticism will help us further improve this website to make it more accessible for all. I hope to make this website the very best on Phones & Tablets – especially since this is the future. We still have a lot of work to do since we’re a new website, but it’ll be a lot of fun to do all of that work for all of you.
Our main outreach will be to new players. It would be awesome to help all of the people that may not know much about the Wizard101 community meet new friends through events (or the family-friendly moderated chatroom) while also looking through the guides to make questing a lot easier! If we don’t have it here, we’ll find it for you by linking you to other fansites, forums, and channels here in the Wizard101/Pirate101 community. It’s gonna be an amazing ride and I’d like to thank all of you for inspiring me to upgrade Around The Spiral!
Thank you all so much for reading and I hope you enjoy your time here at Around The Spiral. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to comment in the comment section below or in the chatroom. Please watch the video included below as well – so you know how to access this website’s features! The future is truly looking bright. I hope you join me on this crazy, but also, awesome adventure! Until next time, I’ll see you Around The Spiral.
