Ten Million Wizards Join Forces to Save the Spiral in Wizard101
“Over the last twenty months our domestic launch has taken us from an unheard of company with an unknown product to running one of the most successful properties in the family entertainment space,” said Elie Akilian, chairman and CEO of KingsIsle Entertainment. “I am profoundly grateful to the millions of extraordinary people who call Wizard City home and the talented writers, artists, designers, producers and engineers who have come together to create this magical world.”

As a small gesture of thanks to the wonderful denizens of Wizard City, KingsIsle Entertainment is offering every Wizard a complementary “Party Pack” and encouraging them to throw a grand celebration welcoming Wizard #10,000,001 to the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts. Each Party Pack will contain a decorative banner, balloons, a festive party hat and a celebratory cake.

null  Did you know?!
Pets love snacks -- and fastest way to advance your pet is by feeding them healthy snacks! Mega Snack Packs are available in the Crowns Shop -- and are up to 10 times better than junk food alternatives!
This Crab-Apple is a great example of a Healthy Snack!

Spiffy Pop Update
We've listened and thanks to you it's been determined that Spiffy-Pop was not working as intended. Players were getting frozen, then popped to the finish line a lap ahead.

Spiffy-Pop will now move the pet behind to the next pet ahead, as was intended.
Mega Snack Pack Update
Previously players were seeing that their Ancient pets are only receiving 1 experience point per game after their stats are at maximum.

Now players will receive full experience from the pet mini-games even after the stat max is reached. In other words if the player gains a +4 to a stat, then they will gain +4 experience if that stat is at max.

Snacks will also provide full experience from eating the snack, even if their stats are at max. If the player feeds their pet say... a Fancy Yogurt and gains +15 Strength, +15 Will, and +20 Power and is at the stat cap. The pet will still gain 50 Exp from eating the snack.

Full XP will be granted for stat overflows. For example, let's say my Will is 249/250 and I ace the cannon game and then eat a Golden Biscuit ( 4 Game + 4 Snack ) = 8 Will. That would normally give me 1 Will and 1 Exp. Instead, it will now give me 1 Will and 8 Exp.

This should make getting your pet to Ancient must less painful.

Looking for an Item?
Young Wizards, before you panic and yell at poor Mr Lincoln, please make sure you've thoroughly checked your BANK and SHARED BANK for items you cannot locate on your character.

Items that were recently restored were placed in your BANK.
If your backpack is full, items you acquire through quests or duels are placed in your BANK.
Please check your BANK!

null Thank you for your patience. We have researched last weekend’s operational issues and gone to great lengths to resolve them.

We have identified all characters that were affected and will soon be initiating a reimbursement process for all lost items. We believe this will resolve all outstanding character issues, and in the case that we are not able to exactly match any data that was lost, we will err on the side of caution and offer Crowns as compensation to both paying customers and to our Free to Play users who were affected.

On behalf of KingsIsle, please accept our sincere apology for this service interruption and know that we are doing everything we can to ensure that it never happens again. We value your time and continued support of our game, and hope that you and your family will continue to be a part of the growing Wizard101 community.

I’d like to address everyone who experienced a loss of items or progress in the last two days.
We are wholly aware of the issue that effected some players over the weekend. We ask you to have just a bit of patience as we are investigating and will be addressing your specific situation as soon as possible. We do understand this is most frustrating for you and promise to have it resolved as quickly as we can.

null   Known Issues with the Pets Update
Young Wizards across the Spiral have been telling us about their experiences with the new Pet Pavilion, and we're listening!

The Cannon Mini-Game is registering misses when it shows you hits, and we're working to fix that quickly for you, so you can continue to level your pet.

Some players have indicated very bright light blooms and red flashes on characters and items, and while we suggest you may want to make sure you have the most recent drivers for your video card, we are assessing this issue ourselves.

These and other issues raised are being evaluated and adjustments are being made, thanks you all the Wizards who reported these errors.
