New Decorating Contest!



It’s Spring cleaning time! That can mean only one thing... a decorating contest, of course!

Today kicks off our first Spring Decorating Contest. It’s time to sweep the dust under the rugs and repaint the walls whatever color suits your fancy. Put your decorating skills to the ultimate test and share your creations with the rest of the community throughout the contest period!

You’ll get a chance to win some great prizes, plus tons of decorating tips and design sneak peeks from other participants! We’ll be awarding prizes and even featuring the winners on March’s KI Live. There is also a version of this contest for Pirate101 players, so you can enter both!

Details of the contest are on the Official Wizard101 Website. We can't wait to see your homes!

Celebrating a Great Year



Professor Falmea writes one more producer's letter for the year as Wizards across the Spiral begin to celebrate the holidays!

We're so exited to see 2018 be such a successful year for our community. Have a look at what was released: https://www.wizard101.com/game/producers-letter-december2018

"As the winds grow colder and we Professors grade the final assignments for the semester here at Ravenwood, it’s time to reflect on the last few months. It’s been a whirlwind of a fall season here at KingsIsle, celebrating several holidays and new updates. In case you missed any of it, let’s travel back to September, shall we?" - Professor Falmea

Thank You Community!
