Wizard101's 7th Birthday

I can't say I was around during beta, or even around during the first age. I began playing in late August of 2013, and got to see wizard 101's 5th birthday celebration, as well as their 6th. Here we are September 2nd, 2015, and it's their 7th. 


I remember when I first began playing, I didn't know what to expect. I was online with a neighbor who had wanted me to try the game. I was living in San Francisco at the time. I've moved since, but I'm grateful to that friend for helping me delve into something I normally wouldn't have.

As soon as I began questing through Unicorn Way, I was like, ok, yeah this is different, let's see where this leads. I leveled up, and reached the point where I couldn't go further, unless I bought the area with crowns or purchased a membership. I'd slept on the thought of maybe getting a membership, and a few days later, decided to. 

I've taken breaks from the game, but always find myself returning.  I've played a few other multiplayer games, but there is something different to be found within wiard101. And as soon as you leave, or shortly after, nostalgia sets in.

There have been many changes made, some argue for the worse. I really wouldn't know, since I haven't been a long-term player. I can say that I enjoy the changes I've seen;  fishing (although not everyone does), new housing items, new schools of magic (I know it's a delicate subject, especially for those who pvp), new spells, craftable mounts (including school themed mounts), one-shot dungeons, having new hairstyles, the addition of the archangels attire (not everyone is wearing the guardian's vestment anymore), jewel socketing and crafting, ultra pets and collars, ultra seeds, 3rd age of pvp, dungeon recall (a well thought out feature), increased level cap, etc-- you guys get my point.

I hope KI continues to add new elements to Wizard101, and lasts for years to come. We shall see. For now, Happy Birthday KI!
