So, I've been hearing a lot of a ruckus on twitter mainly between Musketeers and Privateers (you know who you are ;) ). Seems as I already have a privateer, I might as well see what all the ruckus is about and create a Musketeer. As well as sharing my adventures on him, I am going give my own opinion and at the end of it, a conclusion if I have decided which class is better.

Meet, Bold Alex Nichols the Musketeer.


So yeah, there he is in all of his Glorious Noobiness. I took him through the new Tutorial Today, just to give an introduction to the series and get the tiniest of tasters to what the class feels like.


.
After being freed by Boochbeard and his Monkey accomplice; Gandry and obtaining my first ever companion on my Musketeer; Wing Chun, I am immideatly thrown into a battle with Armada's Elite Officers, The Battle Angels.




I think you need to slow down on the yum there ol' Booch.

I managed to miraculously defeat the Battle Angels, but I didn't get off that easy, oh no. Deacon (Kane's Secret Spy-Master) summoned great big armada troops with huge guns and massive swords. Luckily, Boochbeard's men managed to blow them up (muahah). Deacon admits that I am a cunning Pirate but I am a fool to have crossed the Armada (:O) and blows up a barrel right in front of Boochbeard.

Stay Tuned for Next Week's Adventure Monday!

We've been working long and hard on bringing you this update and we finally feel it is ready to roll out to the public! In this post I will be taking you through everything that is new!



With the release of Aquila into the Wizard101 Test Realm a new Aquilan-Themed Header and Background has been implemented featuring Zeus, Hades and Poseidon!

Underneath the blog title you will notice circular buttons that say "All", "P101" (Pirate101) and "W101"(Wizard101) these are clickable buttons that will take you to a blog post label. 

On either side of the Zeus Render, there are two blurry images if you were to hover over it the image will enlarge and display a nice little graphic for you to click and it will take you to the Pirate101 or Wizard101 Sign Up Page!

Our newest slogan has made it's way onto the header as well, in between the god renders "One Adventure at a Time"



A new "Back to Top" button has been placed in the bottom left hand corner of the blog, on click, it will take you back to the top, an easy way of scrolling up!


An exciting looking menu bar has been added underneath the header, we feel it looks more professional. 

Pages have been updated to coincide with the latest updates to the Pirate101 and Wizard101 Games!

We hope you are enjoying our new look. We are open to feedback, if you have any please let us know in the comments below!

Pirate101 have brought an amazing update to the Live Game today, Class-Specific Housing, Gifting, Furniture Packs, Ryan the Relentless and Much More!

Player Specific Housing

A highly anticipated update has been made to the Pirate101 Game; School-Specific Housing. This gives us a chance to show off our School Pride! Each house costs 10,000 Crowns or 100,000 Gold. All houses come with Intractable items and a PvP arena.

Swashbuckler House: Rake Lagoon
(Click to Enlarge)
Fancy a Walk on a Moonlit beach? Well, this house is just for you. The Swashbuckler house is located on a Beach/Jungle, under the stars and a full moon, what a view!
This house is complete with a Secret Room (Accessible through the fire place, a hidden Hero's Cabinet  a Training Platform, statue of El Toro and an Abandoned Armada Ship!).

 Be careful on the training platform, much like Kingsisle it has a few tricks up its sleeves.

The Hero's Cabinet contains outfits and weapons from famous Swashbucklers!



Buccaneer House: Skullrock Stronghold
(Click to Enlarge)

*Disclaimer* Before buying this house, make sure you have FULL Home and Contents Cover (might want to throw in Flood Insurance in there too) as this house has been destroyed by an ongoing storm! If you manage to get past the storm head on inside to find a Ship House.

This house is complete with your own bank to store all those Gold Coins, a Squid Monster and  Training Area!



Be careful of those flying Armada Weapons!

Don't forget to feed the Giant Squid (or whack it in the face)!



Privateer House: Commodore's Garrison 
(Click to Enlarge)

Welcome to the tiny Village of Dover, near the White Cliffs of Rover. The Commodore's Garrison isn't just one house, oh no, it's a whole village of houses complete with a Fort! 

This house comes with a Fountain of Cannons, a Stable and a Hidden War Room!



"Do your Naval Duty to her Majesty by aiding the efforts of the war in your very own War Room!"





Musketeer House: Sharpshooter's Citadel
(Click to Enlarge)


Your Parent's have whisked you off to an undisclosed location and you find your self in the middle of Cool Ranch, a chicken lawman greets you and welcomes you to the Guns Against the Armada Summer Camp! 

The Musketeer house has various Interactive  cannons placed around the perimeters and is even complete with an Armada Shooting Range!


Protect your fellow campers by blasting those Armada ships into the abyss.

Don't forget to practice your accuracy at the shooting range!



Witchdoctor House: Haunted Grotto
(Click to Enlarge)


Fan of  Black Magic and Hoodoo? Enjoy defying the Armada's strict no Hoodoo law? Well, I think Kingsisle have the house for you. The Haunted Grotto is full of Mystical wonders and Ancient Summoning Circles. 

The Witchdoctor house is probably (in my opinion) the best detailed house, I think the overall view is absolutely amazing. It comes with an Ancient Summoning Circle and a Cauldron that stirs itself! 

Contact the Spirit World with your very own Summoning Circle.

What lies in the Mouth of the Skull?....



Ryan's Yum-n-Ade Stand

On Tuesday Kingsisle Entertainment released a post on their blog about an amazing thing thing they have done through the Make-a-Wish Foundation for a little boy named Ryan. Well, today among the updates they released "Ryan's Yum-n-Ade Stand"! Which, for 100 gold replenishes your health. 

You can visit Ryan near the Kraken Skulls Tavern in Skull Island!



Gifting, Furniture Packs, Unstitching, Crown Shop Updates and Mini Game Kiosks

  • Among the other updates a few more things have been added;
  • You can now gift your fellow Pirates;
  • New Class Themed Furniture Packs;
  • The Crown Shop has a couple new tabs that has organised it a little more;
  • Mini Games are now available to purchase to place in your house!

This is an amazing update to the game, I love it. Well Done, Pirate101!

Here's a question for you guys to answer: "What do you think of the new houses?"

Thanks to, Kelsey Fireheart, Swordroll and Seth for allowing me to visit their houses and take pictures
