Today is National Look-Alike Day!  In celebration, KingsIsle decided to make an awesome meet up on Pirate101 and Wizard101 but there was a catch!

On Wizard101, wizards were asked to make a Taylor Swift character:


This meetup had a lot of people and was a lot of fun with the confusion of who is who.  There were Taylor Swifts everywhere! There were so many Taylor Swifts that the area was filled. Thanks to Chrissy The Blesser, I had to teleport about 10 times before I was finally able to get in!





On Pirate101, pirates were asked to make a Daniel Radcliffe character:


While there were fewer people, it was still a ton of fun with all the dancing Daniel Radcliffes (and the dancing Transport Golem mount)! Note to self: Take the time to make your new pirate well before the event or you will be forced to rush through it and end up choosing the wrong color like I did. If you look at the vine, you can easily spot an orange Daniel. That thing your Mom told you about not procrastinating? Well I guess she was right.


All in all, these were great meetups by KingsIsle and I hope to see many more.  I was even thinking of a Wizard101 Luke Skywalker meetup for if there is a next time! What would you like to see in the future?


I want to quickly thank Chrissy The Blesser for making the graphic for this post. It was last minute and very generous of her to do! Additionally, it's a great graphic!

Tomorrow, April 4th, will be Pirate101's second Pillow Fight event! Starting at 12:01 a.m. CST, you will be tasked with hunting down as many pillows that you can find across Skull Island. The pirate who collects the most pillows by the end of the day will win awesome prizes!

The different types of pillows that you can find are:

 Embroidered Royal Pillow
 Royal Throw Pillow
 Embroidered Elegant Throw Pillow
 Embroidered Regal Pillow

While many creatures in Skull Island drop these items, we recommend fighting those who drop all four kinds of pillows - that way you're more likely to get one from each battle! Nim, Eep Opp Ork Ah-Ah, and Fin Dorsal in Gullet are all good options here, but there are plenty of others! (You can find a full list over at the Pirate101 Central Wiki here).

Interested in what you can win? The grand prize winner will receive 60,000 Crowns, and ten runner ups will each get 10,000 Crowns! Remember that pillows are counted per character, not per account, so you should participate in the event on only one pirate for the best chance at winning.

You can view the results for the first Pillow Fight event on the KingsIsle Blog - 8,046 pillows were found throughout the day, and the grand prize winner collected 115 pillows!

Good luck, pirates, and may your backpacks be filled with pillows tomorrow!

Have you heard the news? Tomorrow, Pirate101 will be hosting an official in-game contest where you can win up to 60,000 Crowns! Are you excited? We sure are!

How Do I Participate?

Starting tomorrow at 12:01 am, all pillow drops from bosses will be automatically recorded. Your job is to acquire as many of these pillows as possible before 11:59 pm Central Time, at which the contest will close.

You don't have to keep all of the pillows you get - though you certainly can if you want to make an awesome pillow fort - so feel free to sell them to vendors or the Bazaar. Just be careful that your backpack isn't full, or else they will be destroyed and not count towards your total!


What Can I Win?

The answer is simple: Crowns!

The grand prize winner, aside from becoming an expert pillow collector, will take home 60,000 Crowns. Ten runner ups will also win 10,000 Crowns each. Excited yet?

Plenty of players will be participating, so you'll have to be quick! If you do manage to win one of these awesome prizes, you can spend your Crowns in the Crown Shop for a new mount, crew members, pets... and more!

So, Where Can I Get These Pillows From?

Skull Island bosses, of course! Practically every boss will drop at least one type of pillow, but some bosses will drop more than one kind - these are the bosses that we suggest to farm. The Pirate101 Central Wiki has a great list of which bosses drop what pillows - be sure to take a look at it here!

Finally, be sure to check out the official page for this contest over at pirate101.com. Are you ready to pillow hunt?

Have fun, pirates!
