Test Realm is UP! Azteca Here we COME!

Time to get those test realm game launchers running!

That's right, Azteca was announced today to be KingsIsle's next big addition to Wizard101. Massively and MMORPG.com both had great articles today. You should read those ASAP! (You know . . . while you're downloading the test realm.)

HAHA! I remember when I first heard the word "Azteca" a few months ago, and I had to bite my lip the moment I heard about it. I wasn't even near a computer, and I was tying my fingers in knots. Finally I can at least type the word "Azteca." Whew. That's a load off my shoulders.

After you're done reading the Massively and MMORPG.com articles about Azteca, you should definitely head over to the Update Notes and check out all the changes incoming to the game. Just to give you a quick rundown of the highlights, here you go:

- Level 90.
- Two more training points.
- Rank 10 damage spells.
- New Astral spells.
- New combat tutorials from everyone's favorite Valencian.
- Transcendent crafting levels.
- And a few other needed changes.

Well, looks like my test realm game launcher is ready to go! I'll see you in Azteca!

Happy Dueling!

At the end of the day, each of them counted the number of pieces of candy they collected. They each collected a different amount of candy (63, 77, 83, 54, and 84 pieces).

1. Uber Wife was not a Raven.
2. The girls' (Uber Wife and Amber) costumes included a Raven and Morganthe.
3. Friendly and Diaperzilla collected a total of 161 pieces of candy.
4. Malistaire collected 77 pieces of candy.
5. A Raven collected 83 pieces of candy.
6. Friendly and Kyle collected a total of 140 pieces of candy.
7. The Stormzilla collected the most pieces of candy.

Fill out the blanks below and send us an email (if you’re 13 or under, get help from an adult) with the answers to thefriendlynecromancer@gmail.com to be entered to win one of our exclusive Halloween party packs from KingsIsle!
