Project What's Your Name

Ahoy mateys!

I have been having kind of an awkward problem on Pirate101 lately.  I have been adding people that I know from Wizard101.......and forgetting who they are. *blushes*  Okay, I mean no offense to anyone.  I love all my friends and readers and followers.  However, it seems that even though I am 80% pirate, I have everyone's Wizard101 names stuck in my head.  And I took an impromptu poll on Twitter and it seems I am not the only one who has this problem.

So here is what I did.  I started Project What's Your Name!  This is basically a listing of people's Pirate101 names and classes matched up with their Wizard101 main character name.  Confused about who someone on your Pirate friend list is?  Come here and look it up!

Right now there aren't many people on the list, but I am hoping that as word spreads, more people will submit their information to make this an extremely useful tool!  So let your friends know about it and let's get more people added.  All you have to do is answer 3 simple questions (4 if you would like to include your twitter name) and submit it.  This is completely voluntary.  I will not be adding anyone to the list who doesn't submit their information through this form

So have you ever been confused about who someone on your list is?  Would you like to be added to the list?  If so, click the link above, or click here to get started!  See you in the skyways! :)

Pirate101 Introduces Henchmen!

Ahoy!

Yesterday the Pirate101 Test Realm opened up with a new update.....Henchmen!  If you are having trouble in a battle, you can now click on the crown shop and pay anywhere from 75-750 crowns to get a henchman to help you out.  There are henchmen for each class available at the following levels: 15, 25, 35, 45, 55 and 65.

If you are familiar with the henchmen in Wizard101, the henchmen in Pirate101 are kind of on the same idea.  You hire them to help you out in a battle.  However, in Pirate101 you get to control you henchman the same way you control your companions.  And they get all the epics, powers, talents that their level player should have.  So a level 65 henchman has everything for their class! EPIC!  You can see more details in the Update Notes.

I logged into test realm to try out some henchmen.  I didn't get to try all of them yet, but I did try out all the level 65 ones.  They are all awesome, but the buccaneer was definitely my favorite.  Not only does he look awesome, but he is really strong!  Here he is in action.

I can honestly say that I was never a huge fan of henchmen in Wizard101.  I did use them sometimes, but I mostly found them annoying since they would heal at the wrong time or use my traps.  However, the Pirate101 henchmen seem about a million times more appealing to me since we can control them.  I can't wait until they come to live realm!

Have you tried them out yet? If you have, let me know what you think of them in the comments section! I am curious to hear what people think of them! See you soon! :)

Arrrgust Contest #2 Winners

Ahoy!

All the entries for my Arrrgust Dorm decorating contest have been received and looked at, and I have chosen the four winners.  All the entries were great!  I loved seeing everyone's creativity!  However, I only have four prizes left to give out, so I had to choose.  I based the entries off of creativity, overall decorating, the description and how well people followed the contest rules. Here are the winners:

Grand Prize

1 Random Class House + Pack O Porters + 10,000 Crowns

Dead Eye Justin

I love to hang out in my birthplace of Marleybone. But since it's captivated in war I made my last trip to Marleybone to get some mementos and bring them to my own home! From Marleybone I brought with me, couches, flags, a piano, maps, and fancy wallpaper! When I sit down at my desk I imagine I'm back in the Admiralty Foyer........ahhhh...........the memories. I also share my dorm with my best bud. Handsome Dan, or as I like to call him, Peanut Butter. One day we'll move back to our homeland. 

First Prize

Pack O Porters + 7,500 Crowns

Autumn Starwalker

Where my pirate calls home  she has a collection of her favorite items collected  from all through the spiral. This is her pirate's sweet getaway she spends her days and nights along with her favorite first mate over for a cup of tea and they share tales about their great adventures.

Second Prize

Pack O Porters + 5,000 Crowns

Captain Richard Sharp

This is where my pirates like to relax after a hard days piratin'; at their very own tavern. Here they share their adventure stories over a tankard of yum. Of course the furniture doesn't match because it just things they've looted or cobbled together from driftwood. Regardless it's the place the think of as home.

Third Prize

2,500 Crowns

Hunter

I think pirates will like to spend their time and relax. My room makes you feel like you're outside. There's lots of cool looking stuff to sit and relax from all the hard work of pirating around the spiral. You will feel so welcome in my dorm room you will be jumping for joy! 

Congrats to the winners! You will be receiving your codes shortly via the email you submitted your entries through.  And thanks to everyone who entered! Be sure to watch for more contests to be announced soon!  See you in the spiral! :)

Autumns, Autumns Everywhere!

Ahoy!

It's been awhile since I made a post about what I have been up to in Pirate101, so I figured I would update you all.  To be honest, I actually haven't had a ton of extra time for gaming, which will hopefully change soon!  Here is where all my characters currently are:

• Right now my witchdoctor is pretty much finished the game, except for a few Aquila side quests.
• My Privateer is still level 27 and in Cool Ranch. I did quest enough on her to make one post, which will be up soon.
• My swashbuckler (the one I am leveling with my daughter) is currently on hold until we get her set up with a different computer.  That is in the works, so you will be seeing more Autumn and Chloe posts again in the near future.

So what have I been up to in game you ask?  Well besides the contests and events I have been hosting, I have also made 2 new characters!  And guess what their names are.....That's right! Autumn Walker and Autumn Walker!  First I will introduce you to my Musketeer.

I actually created my musketeer when Pirate101 went live.  I got her to level 5 before I decided to focus on my witchdoctor.  So when Edward Lifegem made a musketeer and mentioned maybe leveling a character with me, I had her ready made!  We have quested up to level 8 and just got our Presidio companions and new ships.  Next up is meeting One Eyed Jack!  Since Ed and I have to coordinate our schedules, I'm not sure when I will be leveling on here again, but I hope it's soon.  The musketeer class is fun!

The last Autumn Walker is a buccaneer.  Even though I haven't had too much time for questing, she is already level 13 and nautical level 12.  I am about to do the dungeon to get the monkey's paw, so almost done with Monquista! So far I haven't found this class too difficult, but I have died a couple times, so we'll see.

I probably wont be blogging about my questing on these 2 characters much, but I did want to introduce you to them.  I may make an occasional post if something cool happens, and they may pop up in other posts about game updates and events and such.  

Anyway, thanks for reading! See ye in the spiral! :)
