Here in Camelot

Avalon. I'm not going to go into much detail about the world, because I'm sure many others will be outlining it in great detail. And I'm a little bit tired, so all I'm gonna attempt is a first glimpse!

As many have mentioned, the world is based on Celtic legend and King Arthur. Camelot! What? You aren't familiar with the magical land of Camelot? Here's a musical description:

Here's another, slightly more realistic description:

I managed to jump on the test realm for a little bit with my friend John and Eli. Here's what we saw:

Well I think the test realm was a little glitchy. I kept holding my wand and my moose's ear at the same time. Oops! I kinda like it though.

This is what Avalon looks like when you first enter through the spiral door. So in other words, Stonehenge!

One of the first places that we went was "Abbey Road". Haha very funny. Beatles Crossing! (My favorite song on the album. Oh and you can see the lyrics in the description on Youtube for those of you who don't have them memorized.)

I don't really know what place this is because I haven't done any questing. I'm calling it the "rose hall". John and I were both drooling over the stained glass windows. They made me really happy because they reminded me of one of my favorite movies as a little girl, Beauty and the Beast.

Here you can see what I'm talking about:

(Hearing impaired wizards can get the text for this prologue in the description of the video. Click on over to YouTube.)

John pointed out that the ceiling of the Library was really awesome.

This door was the subject of much debate amongst us. It strongly reminds me of the West-gate into the mines of Moria in Fellowship of the Ring the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. There is a hammer on that door as well. My best guess is that Gimli is trapped behind the door. Don't worry Gimli! We'll getcha out of there! Eventually...

It looks really pretty. It also looks like there might be a few Rings mentions. Kinda makes me want to reread my favorite book. Yeah in my "spare time"! Bwahahaha!

What I'm actually going to be doing in my spare time is finishing quests off on my wizards, and getting Victoria through Zafaria. Ugh. I'm not looking forward to the lions, but I do like to have wizards that can go to the shiny new places, so that's the price you pay I guess! I'm a little more excited now that I've actually seen Avalon.

I can't wait to see the level 78 pets too! I wonder what Myth will get...

Sirens of the Silver Sea

Not much has been going on in Wizard101 land for me recently. Mostly gardening. Gardening doesn't make good blogging. And also some pet hatching. But unsuccessful pet hatching doesn't make good blogging either.

What does make good blogging is NEW SPELLS!

Meet my new friends.

left to right: Rita, Veronica and Linda.

They are the sirens of the silvery sea. Watch out. They're out to getcha.

Mirror Mirror

So today I was bored. Really bored. So bored that I decided to finish Zafaria.

That's sayin' something!

So I run around the Elephant Graveyard and fight some people, then I talk to some animals and BAM! I'm off to Mirror Lake.

Well that was quick.

So I decide to take a peek into the instance, and size it up. Just me and my friend's wizard.

We hop on the sigils and start working our way through the instance.

We fought bosses. Then we fought some more bosses. Long story short, we fought a lot of bosses.

I kept wondering when the epic Morganthe show-down was going to happen, and thinking we'd probably die in that fight if not before.

Then we fought some spider bosses.

Then we got loot.

We finished it. Me and my friend Elijah (who is fire). Just us.

I was all: O_o

Okay apparently Mirror Lake isn't that hard.

It took us a while, but I think that was mostly because we had no clue as to what was coming next.

Zafaria...

DONE!

I wonder what world we'll see next?

Home for the Holidays

After much bustle and hubbub, I've finally been able to get in some playing time for Wizard101.

Zafaria! I haven't finished it yet, but I have gotten up to level 70 and tried out my new spell Basilisk. Very cool. But I don't have a great understanding of DoTs yet so it'll take me a while to figure out how to use it effectively.

I've also been working on finishing up some houses I've been working on... Hopefully you'll get to see them really soon. And also I have more fun surprises coming up in the near future too! Stay tuned!

That's it for the status update. I hope you all are having a wonderful break, and I wish everyone luck on their finals!
