It has been a busy month for us. We celebrated Pride Month, announced Guilds to Wizard101, 5th Age has a new season for PvP, and of course to end the month with a bang we had a fun-filled KI Live where we introduced some of our interns! However, we want to highlight Guilds since you’ll be seeing them real soon!
Guilds have been a requested feature for some time now and we’re finally making it happen. The idea is often implemented a little bit differently depending on the game. In Wizard101, Guilds will be large permanent groups where you and your friends can gather around your very own private Guild House. There are many other perks as well that will be announced in due time!
ROUNDTABLE WITH WHITETIGER93
WhiteTiger93 held an incredible roundtable discussion with the KingsIsle Team on the upcoming Guilds update, coming this Summer to Wizard101!

Event Spotlight
Edward LifeGem's 2022 Community Pride Run:
The Event Spotlight will pop in and out of the monthly newsletter. Whenever there are major events happening around the Spiral then we will cover them. Often, the event will have already passed, but maybe we can catch them before they happen for further notice!
Due to some technical difficulties Edward LifeGem was about to postpone the event until the community banded together to continue the Pride Run 2022 event! This is the kind of community interaction that makes us smile so much! Great job everyone involved!
Crescent Lounge Fashion Show:
This Event Spotlight goes to the Crescent Lounge who hosted a fantastic fashion show on July 3 the Wizard101 part of the event went very well, thank you all for attending. Congratulations to the winners, Julia StormSong, Sir Green and Winter who placed first, second and third!
