Tonight – Ditto’s Second Wizardversary Party!!!

That’s right – Ditto’s awesome second wizardversary party is tonight!  It begins at 8pm EST, and the location is my house – people on my friends list will be able to port to me, and their friends can port to them…

Party Time!!

Not on my friends list?  No problem – My Port Bus Character, Dugan Hexcrafter, will be meeting people on Vampire Realm, Ravenwood area, under the Fire Tree outside Professor Falmea’s classroom.  The port bus will be making regular trips to the party.

What’s going on at the party?  Well, I’ve got five interconnected houses, all more or less decorated, with a lot of fun areas to explore.  There is a secret portal pathway that takes people to different odd little areas, like my Dragon Hatchery and weird ritual room.  There is also a secret hidden portal that will take you to yet another house, one not on the ‘official tour’

There will also be PVP, with two different dueling circles available, and I will be giving out some Kirin Mount codes to random guests as well.  If I tell you that you’ve won a Kirin mount, I’ll give you a code word – email that code word and your character name to dittowizard @ gmail.com and I’ll send you your code.

I’m really looking forward to this party, and I hope everyone else is too!!  See you there!!!

New Post – Party Prep Day 4 – Setting Up a Port Bus #wizardversary

So part of my big Wizardversary party is actually getting people to it – when you have a party at your house, your guests need a way to get there, and it’s probable that not everyone who wants to come to your party is on your personal friends list.  One of the ways to ensure that everyone can come to your party is to set up what is known as a ‘Port Bus’ character.  This is a character that people can friend in a public area before or during the party, and then teleport to them as they go to the party.

New Video – Ditto’s Party Prep, Day 3 – Ditto Decorates #wizard101

I’m still working on preparing for my big Second Wizardversary party and I figured I actually needed to do some decorating  – I’m not very good at it, but I really like doing it, it’s fun.  I’ve got lots of different areas decorated in different, interesting themes.  I’ve got hidden jungle ruins, a drake hatchery, a spooky ritual room, and even a whole hidden house!  I’ve put in a fun (at least I hope it’s fun) adventure trail, using portals to send people to different interesting and hidden places to explore.

So this video is way less exciting than I imagined it would be – I’m still not sure why I felt this would be exciting or interesting, really – but here is a quick video of me decorating my Island Getaway hut.  It’s not anywhere near Paige Moonshade levels of decorating, but it’s fun, and that’s what’s important!

Ditto is helping the Water Moles

So ditto was helping the Water Moles on the Floating Land, and he gathered some food for them – mostly pie.  Well they were so happy with their pie, they had another task for Ditto – but this task had nothing to do with pie! It wasn’t even related to pastry in general!  No – Ditto had to find crazy water moles and defeat them!  And how can you tell which ones are the crazy Water Moles?  Well, they’re the ones talking to themselves and humming the theme to ‘I Love Lucy’…
