It’s newsletter time for KingsIsle MMORPGs Pirate101 and Wizard101, and while both have vastly different highlights, one thing is shared between them: the upcoming annual Community Spiral Cup, which pits player teams against one another in four challenges to win prizes like a month of membership benefits and the addition of a player-designed mount.
Another large tidbit out of the Wiz101 newsletter is confirmation of a public test realm’s arrival for the game. This feature is planned to open sometime in summer, and will let players get their hands on the upcoming Crying Sky raid and a token that lets characters change their name and gender. The rest of the newsletter celebrates a successful Pride charity event and heralds the opening of Lemuria to EU players.
As for Pirate101’s newsletter, that’s much more focused on several community affairs, including a player-designed Nuzlocke challenge that fans can take on, a celebration of blogger Humble Misty’s 10-year-long journey, and a player-run tattoo design contest that awards winners with crowns currency.
