Kingsisle Open Chat Change. (****PATCHED****)

Ok, for those of you who have realized this, KI has put a restriction of Open Chat to only people who have put in a credit card (aka adults). This was the message from Lydia GrayRose.

 Accounts that are NOT currently subscribed with a credit card will no longer have 18+ open chat. Those accounts will revert to Text Chat. Open Chat is a feature for accounts currently subscribed with a valid Credit Card.

We try to offer a full range of player account options (ie. Credit Cards, PayPal, Gift Certificates, Gift Cards, subscriptions, access passes, free trial, etc). Each of these comes with its own set of benefits and limitations.

For instance, as a crowns player, you have lifetime access to areas purchased. As a credit card subscriber, you’re given the option to enable 18+ chat (if you’re 18+ in age of course).

The fact that some accounts were able to retain their 18+ chat ability even when they were no longer subscribed, was a bug. In an effort to keep the player options equitable for all, we fixed the bug.

We thank you for your understanding. Please note, your ability to chat is not gone, your account will retain the filtered chat option.

 This is a pretty sad excuse to get people to be polite on Wizard101. It not only effects those who are following chat rules-(Who are now quitting, or planning on it). It is also affecting people who play with crowns. THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO DISRUPT Wizard101. THEY CAN JUST AS EASILY PUT IN A CREDIT CARD AND RESUME WHAT THEY WERE DOING BEFORE. Kingsisle should change this immediately, for the sake of the community. I know this post is a little one sided, who I suppose I should focus on benefits.
Since the bad things were all posted above.

 Good: It helps to limit people who use vulgar language.
It also requires people to have a credit card to "ensure" adultery behavior.

I cant think of other reasons, but I once again think of this: THIS IS A TEMPORARY FIX FOR PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO DISRUPT Wizard101. THEY CAN JUST AS EASILY PUT IN A CREDIT CARD AND RESUME WHAT THEY WERE DOING BEFORE.  Honestly what percentage of people who do say vulgar words actually have they're parents know about this!!!!!!!!   KI didnt think very well about this problem, and should reconsider a better course of action.

Thanks for listening to my onesided Rant.

Thanks all- ( and yes it still says Posted By Dustin MoonCatcher- which is annoying)

NOTE THIS HAS BEEN PATCHED AND ALL RESPECTIVE PLAYERS HAVE RECEIVED OPEN CHAT BACK ;D

Lord Zeus Becomes One With the Force!

Geez, I really have no reason for titling this post "Lord Zeus Becomes One With The Force!". It sort of just occurred to me while I was figuring out a reasonable title. The becoming one with the Force part just sounds so cool. Ian aka Stormywiz, this is for you-

And this ought to scare all my fellow Star Wars fans out there-

Who doesn't love Darth Yoda? Awesome sauce!

Okay, sorry about that. I let my inner Star Wars geek take over. Back to Lord Zeus...

Let me start with the Cannon Game glitch. I was about 10 XP points away from Adult with Lord Zeus when the glitch came into my virtual world yet again. I was thinking, "NO way. 10 points away from "Hatchability", and I'm unable to play my favorite mini-game?" KingsIsle has to fix this thing soon.

Anyway, this left me able to play the only other Pet mini-game I'm decent at, the Maze Game. Here's how close I got (click to enlarge)-

I have no doubt that everyone can feel the frustration that coursed through me when I saw this. 1 point away! And then, THIS, as it was meant to be all along (click to enlarge)-

I've got an Adult Pet now! Good thing those stressful teenage years are over ;-) I look forward to using these cool new abilities in the Derby and fights from now on!

I must also add these two things (click to enlarge)-

That right there is my new highest hit record in Wizard 101; 17020 damage!

There you can see Nathaniel FireEyes (an IRL friend of mine) finishing the Father Drake tower and unlocking the quest to Malistaire! Nice work, Nathaniel.

Okay! Thanks for reading, folks! Be sure to donate to the buy David an awesome laptop fund so he can get himself an Adult Helephant to go along with good ol' Lord Zeus who just bought a condo in Triton Avenue to celebrate his independence from his controlling father, me. 

Keep on Casting,
