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

Two Sentences from The King

Um, did anyone think that we weren't gonna hear back from the King of Gobblers, Jeff Toney? Well, now I get to rub in your face that we did hear back from him the very day I sent him a message!

Okay, so basically I just let him know that we'd moved, and to change the link on the Fansites & Links page on Wizard101.com.

AND-

"I'll pass this on the Greyrose. Thanks for the info."

Um, how awesome is that?!? Pretty cool!

Keep on Casting, 


No, I'm sorry, I just cannot end on that note. As I was typing the signature W101 Info "Keep on Casting", I was overtaken by a serious combustion and realization of frustration. Look, I think it looks really weird to sign off these posts as "-Dustin" as I do frequently! As I was thinking about how uncool I believe it to be, I figured, "Why not sign off as -D.?" That would rock! HOWEVER, there is another *ahem* friend of mine who shares this blog with me who's name also starts with a D! INFURIATION!
Okay, NAH, I'm no so infuriated at David, but I was just bringing this up as a topic. I wish that I could change my last name in game to Bolt. I can see it now...
"The name's Bolt. Dustin Bolt."
Um, AWESOME! Unfortunately, I can't simply just change the name.
Whatever, I guess MoonCatcher has a bit of a ring to it... But you've gotta put Dustin first, then...
"The name's Dustin. Dustin MoonCatcher." 
Well, now that I've gotten that off of my shoulders....
Keep on Casting,
Dustin MoonCatcher
