Countdown: 5 plus new pieces

And if you're wondering I do not mean pieces as in the Nine Pieces of Eight from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End movie. I mean 'pieces' as in Art Pieces, painted by Kingsisle concept artist, Dave Greco. At his blog (http://myelectronicdays.blogspot.com/) You can find his art. most of which was commissioned for Wizard101 and Pirate101. The latest ones include:

 These are my favorite out of the new ones but I really like the woodland girl in his post from May 8th (http://myelectronicdays.blogspot.com/2012/05/little-free-time-during-lunch-hours.html) But that's just my opinion which ones do you like? (only five more days!)

Countdown: 6 (and a new card)

The new bundle costs $29 and is now available at Walmart. It comes with:

• A Marleybonian warship

• A Bulldog companion

• A Naval outfit

• A Military sabre

• A Crow's nest housing add-on

• 1 month or 5000 crowns

Sounds cool, doesn't it? In blogging news how do  you guys like my new header? I'm thinking that I might do some recoloring on the blog since I am now a Swashbuckler/Thaumaturge (If I do it would probably be changing some of the blues to lighter colors).

Countdown: 7 (or not)

Only one week left! or if you happen to be going to GameStop and buy one of  the three cards mentioned in yesterday's post you get early admission into Pirate101! The only other ways you can get in are: being in Closed Beta, purchasing either the Boochbeard or Gandry Bundle, becoming a Pirate101 Member, or redeeming a Gift Certificate for a Pirate101 Prepaid Membership. [(side note) I just made Mozzarella sticks from this website (http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-detail.asp?recipe=941443) and they are pretty good for my first try!]

Countdown: 8 days...

Pirate101 closed beta has ended and the Early admission starts on the 'morrow! But if you're like me I have to wait a week, hence the title and new widget over there (-->), before the game is even out the cards have alreadly flooded GameStops across the country. The first card is a $39 bundle (much like the Epic and mega bundles)Like the other $39 dollar bundles it comes with one month subscription or 5,000 crowns, an outfit (Cutthroat) based on your level, and an Island (Castaway), Unlike the rest it comes with a Ship (Sharktooth) , Shark companion and the Skullcutter Cutlass.

The next Card is the $10 one this card comes with a crab as a pet (I do hope that he's trained) this is also available at GameStop.
The final and $20 dollar card comes with a Walking octopus pet with... Blue Rings?! AH! That be a poisonous Octopus! To be specific the Southern Blue-Ringed Octopus.

Well on that note I must sail off...
