Ditto Begins his Adventures in Zafaria!!

Ditto is finally in Zafaria, searching for lost students for Professor Falmea.  It is a rugged and wild land, full of big trees and zebras and… stuff… yes, lets and lots of stuff.  Ditto talked to a zebra and a lion, and has made a startling discovery – no matter where you are in the spiral, if a wizard walks up to a random person on the street, that person will undoubtedly have a job or quest for the wizard…  It’s like they’re rooted to the spot and can’t even walk across the street to talk to someone themselves!

And here’s where Ditto gets REALLY confused…

The is the last video in Ditto’s ‘Doing the wrong quest’ series – Ditto finally confronts Professor Balestrom about the weird quests he’s been on, and it turns out that Ditto has NOT been questing towards Zafaria as he thought, but questing to get to Celestia… AGAIN.  Ditto decides to talk to Headmaster Ambrose and see what’s going on…  Next, Ditto returns to Zafaria!

Ditto still on the path of Mystery… In Krokotopia!!

Still following the mysterious path Professor Balestrom set Ditto on, we travel to Krokotopia to seek out a mysterious stone that will help him translate the mysterious language heard on the audio-transmitter-thingy.  It’s so exciting – even though it’s not really the quest I thought I was on, it’s really cool, so I’ll finish it up…  Read the rest of this page »

Ditto is confused by Professor Balestrom

Once Ditto completed the Trial of The Spheres, he talked to Professor Balestrom in the Storm School.  Unfortunately, Professor Balestrom talks fast and kind of has an accent, and so Ditto got confused and started doing this quest that he THOUGHT was the quest to get to Zafaria.  It took him a while to figure out he wasn’t actually headed to Zafaria here… but I figured I would share the videos anyway, since they are still fun, and even funnier when you think that I have no idea what I’m doing here… Read the rest of this page »

Pirate101 New Character Experience!

Well here it is, at long last – Ditto’s very fist Pirate101 gameplay video!!  I’ve been so excited to put one of these out – of course the NDA on the Beta lifted mere hours before I was to head off for vacation, so I’m a little behind the curve, I’m sure.  Other fan sites have probably posted frame by frame walkthroughs of all this already – but I guarantee that Ditto’s new player walk-through has 100% more furry orange monster, so it’s TOTALLY worth watching!

Ditto creates a new Pirate101 Character

This video goes from the fun character creation narrative, where Boochbeard the Pirate and his Monkey companion find Ditto locked in an Armada brig, through choosing Ditto’s backstory and class, then gaining my first companion, a horse Samurai.  There’s a ground combat tutorial and a ship to ship combat tutorial that are both great, and Ditto plays around with flying a big sailing ship – it’s so fun!  There will be lots more following this one, especially once Beta is over and the game is officially open!
