Celestia Is Here, And So Am I!

Hey, everyone! It's Dustin here, and I can't even express how awesome it is to be blogging again.

Allow me to recap - I've had to stop blogging weekly/daily because of my band, my upcoming Bar Mitzvah, and homework.

But hey, guys, look: Celestia is up on the Test Realm right now as I type this, which is just uber cool! You can read about what's up with all the new updates here (that's the Wizard101 Update Notes page).

Anyway, I'm back on Wizard101 Info because Celestia needs me to blog about it. No more questions asked. You'll  be seeing hopefully a bit more of me once Celestia actually comes on the Live Realm.

I'm going to make a real effort to keep this blog updated - so please keep checking back here, but I can't promise top-notch posts everyday.

Thank you very much to everyone who's stuck with me and David for so long. We can't wait to blog about our adventures in Celestia together.

Keep on Casting,
D. MoonCatcher

Celestia Pre-Quests Arrives on the Test Realm Plus a Date for WandCast 7!

Well, I don't need to explain much about the whole Celestia pre-quests thing because KingsIsle does it pretty well right here; the update notes for the Test Realm release.

What I'm planning to do instead of taking a 100 screenshots is taking movies of my time in the Test Realm, right from the first time I log on. Sort of like a documentary. Anyway, I might get to lazy to make them... As my duty as a blogger, though, I think I'll get to it. I'm patching right now.

Ooh, I've got a single resolution for the pre-quests and Celestia itself. My resolution: Dustin, do not rush through the quests! Read thoroughly through each and every quest, and fully understand the storyline etc.

(It's important that I do this so I don't get a heart attack. It happens when I'm so excited ;))

Before I sign off of Blogger and sign IN to the Test Realm, I just need to tell all you guys the finally final date for WandCast 7! Please be in our chatroom on July 8, 2010 at 7 pm EDT. Need help with time zones? Here's a great site that'll help you out. It's going to be a great show! Remember to enter the Swiftshadow Wings Contest!

A Dragon Farm by Amber UnicornFlower

Just a quick little post... Amber UnicornFlower, who has a fabulous blog (love the header...), just made a great post about a little farm she made on the Test Realm. Go figure... Radio Free FarmVille. Just kidding...

Anyway, Amber's farm is really cool. It's full of stuff you wouldn't expect to find in a farm. Click here to check it out!

Thanks Amber for the great idea!

Storm Beetle A Winner?

Due to the new Pet mania on the Test Realm, I decided to check my Bank to see if there were any Pets I had so malevolently discarded.

To make a short story shorter: There were.

Behold, my Storm Beetle! I was interested in how my Beetle would interact with the new Realm. He had been stowed away in my back quite some time ago, so yea. I was psyched! Way to go Storm Beetles!

Before I continue, lemme just clear up the question that will, no doubt about it, be in some of your minds right now as you read the very words on this screen. Well, not THIS screen, because you obviously aren't sitting right here next to me as I type this post, because if you were... Let's not go there. The Storm Beetle Pet is out of commission. If you don't already have it, don't waste your time farming Tumok (hint hint: MOB FRIENDLY!) for it. Yep, that's right. It was a prize to everyone when Wizard 101 got it's millionth player. Basically, they gave every player 101 Crowns and that's exactly how much a Storm Beetle cost. It was epic.

Anyway, I realized soon that there were things about my good ol' Orio that were worth blogging about. For instance-

It's awesome! My old pal (who I threw in my Bank for 2 months) has the Bomber capability in the Derby! Woot! AND, if you can get a Storm Beetle to Adult (mine is a Teen):

Um, are you KIDDING ME?!? No more Mutant Treasure Cards! SICK!

So, fellas, if you've mistreated your Storm Beetle, go and get him from your Bank pronto. He's probably tired of sitting in there, and you WANT to throw bombs in the Derby!

P.S. Who's up for a live run of the Coven in Grizzleheim? I'm thinking of asking Stephen S. to tag along because he said he'd love to do a live event of that. It would be me, David, Kestrel, and Steve. That would be awesome...
