Harold Argleston's Book of the Month Club

 
 
 
 
Wizard101 Librarian Harold Argleston
This is the August 2012 installment of my Book of the Month Club. These books have been suggested by a fellow Librarian from Earth, her name is Kit Ward-Crixell and she is a librarian in New Braunfels, Texas, USA.

This month we continue looking at books that remind us of the world of Zafaria. In the book The Warm Place by Nancy Farmer Ruva, a baby giraffe, is stolen by poachers and sent to a zoo. Fortunately, she has the world-famous rat Rodentus von Stroheim the Third as her tutor to help her learn how humans work - and more importantly, how to escape and find her way back home to her mother.

You'll love the great characters in this story, from the rats Rodentus and Troll to the tough-guy chameleon Nelson and the human boy Jabila, who can talk to animals. And the nasty troll bad guys are really gross (but not too scary)!
 
 
 
 

A Message from J. Todd Coleman

 
 
 
 
Wizard101 Headmaster Merle Ambrose
Hey gang,

I wanted to give you a heads up about an issue that just became apparent to us, and what we intend to do to fix it.

As many of you know, a few weeks back we put out a new Collectible Card Game loot pack: the Knight’s Lore card pack. The pack is full of a lot of fantastic stuff, but one of the “jackpot” items was the ability to learn one of three different new spells: the Catalan, the Handsome Fomori, or the Deer Knight.

It came to our attention last Friday that there was an error in the data table, and the last of these cards was not dropping correctly. We fixed the pack immediately, but too late for players who had already purchased the pack. Any player who rolled The Deer Knight spell was receiving either the Catalan or the Handsome Fomori spell, instead.

We take full responsibility for this mistake. It was an error that we should never have made – or, at the least, that we should have caught before releasing the pack to our community. Unfortunately, we failed in both regards.

To remedy this situation, we are going to give this last spell, The Deer Knight, to ANYONE who received either of the other two spell cards – whether you should have gotten the Deer Knight, or not. Instead of one jackpot item, we’re going to give you two, to thank you for being part of the Wizard101 community and in sincerely apology for this mistake.

To be clear: this was not an issue with people NOT receiving a Lore card when they should have – it was only an issue with WHICH Lore card they received. Going forward, please be assured that we will be even more focused on our efforts – in both creating new content, and testing it – to make sure this never happens again.

Thank you again for playing, and we’ll see you in the Spiral.

Sincerely,
J Todd Coleman
KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc.

p.s. the script will take a while to run, so look for the spell to be added to your character sometime this week. Thanks!
 
 
 
 

A Message from Mr. Lincoln

 
 
 
 
Wizard101 Registrar Mr Lincoln
A few things to note about the chatting in Wizard101:
  1. You can't change your date of birth. If you entered an incorrect date of birth when you first registered, we're sorry for the inconvenience. It's a non-editable (nor is it edible) field.

  2. Filtered chat - you must have made a purchase with a valid CREDIT CARD to move an account from menu chat to filtered chat (yes, it's Federal law (COPPA to be exact) and no, we're not going to mess with the Feds just because you accidentally put in the wrong date of birth (see #1)).

  3. Open chat requires having an account over the age of 18 years old. Period. No exceptions and no miracle aging cures allowed!

  4. Having Open chat does NOT allow you to see the ". . ." of misspelled words being said by a Filtered chatter - it's not the Rosetta Stone of chat options.

  5. Typing around the chat filters &/or having Open chat does NOT excuse you from the Terms of Use. There's no "First Amendment" in the Spiral. You don't have the right to be harassing, rude, crude or an otherwise uncouth louse. Having type chat is a privilege, not a right. As a mature player capable of handling the responsibility, we presume you already know that.

If you still have questions, please review the Knowledge Base articles specific to each chat level.
