Goodbye

Hey Everyone. As many of you may have noticed over the weekend, I deactivated my Twitter and Facebook accounts.  I apologize for doing this without giving any notice, but due to real life circumstances, I am no longer able to be a member of the Pirate101/Wizard101 community.  Unfortunately, this also means the end of Secrets of the Spiral.  I won't be taking the site down, but I will no longer be able to update the site or make new posts. I want you all to know that this community has meant a lot to me over the last few years....

A Character Update

Ahoy! I have actually had quite a bit of time to level through Pirate101 lately.  It felt so good to get back in game and spend some real time there.  Other than NXP parties, I have been up to all kinds of things.  Here's an update of where all my pirates currently are. As most of you know, my witchdoctor has been finished with the game for quite some time.  She's done all main and side quests, as well as getting her companions...

LAG-BUSTERS!

Ahoy! Saturday was part 2 of the Secrets of the Spiral NXP Extravaganza!  It was a lot of fun, although many people there were complaining that they were experiencing lag.  This was because a lot of people showed up.  And many people/ships in one area equals lag.  Actually, at one point I even made up a mini song about it, which went something like this: If things get slow In the skyways Who you gonna call? LAG-BUSTERS! *cough*...

Night Time in Subata

Ahoy! Yesterday, I was farming for a Tawny Sky Turtle pet in Mooshu.  I started off farming Friar Sand, but didn't have any luck.  So I decided to head over to Subata to farm the guy in Abe Pagoda.   Well, when I got to my ship, I realized that I must have been farming for a lot longer than I had thought, because it was night time! Okay, not really, but I did have a cool glitch that made the whole sky black, so it looked like it...

Another Mysterious Hint

Pirate101 released yet another sneak peek today!  This one is awesomely spooky!  It shows a stone room with a big ol' cauldron of bones in the middle.  There is also some fires in the background and a purple light that looks like it may be some type of passage to another room or area. My first thought was possibly some type of crafting, because of the name "Witchdoctor's Lab".  Some people are speculating a bundle with a Witchdoctor...

Something that concerns both Wizard101 and Pirate101.  The topic I am talking about is......spoilers. It seems like every time new content is getting close to being released (especially for Wizard101), there is an influx of spoilers floating around.  This seems to cause much debate between community members.  Some like and seek out...
