Gardening, Pets, Power Leveling Issues, and an Email sent to KI

Well, today I made it to Journeyman Gardener (Rank 6). I got a Frozen Fly Trap (rank 6) from my Fly Trap plant, and planted it. My Happy Holidaisies became Mature and look so cute. Gardening is fun, but I'll have to have a much smaller garden when Gardening comes Live.

------------------------------------------------------

Well, the results of yesterday's hatching are in. Both Talon and I got Tempest pets. Thank you Audi for the Wraith from when the Dorm Furniture glitch was around. I truly appreciate it. It allowed us to get Temepsts. Next thing on the plan: Hatch 1 Tempest with 1 Frostcaller. Frostcaller is already Adult, so Talon is raising Tempest to be an adult. Should be 9 more games of the Maze tomorrow morning and she'll be ready.

------------------------------------------------------

Well, I tried to Power Level my life girl in the Solarium today, only to notice that KingsIsle, in an attempt to block this sort of thing from happening, has the XP limit set to the max XP for the current level of the Wizard so as to discourage this sort of activity. It happened in the Lunarium as well, so I'm sure it's not just a coincidence. Perhaps we will see what happens after tonight's maintenance.

Today I filed a request with KingsIsle's Contact Us system on Wizard101.com. Below is the message I sent (will post their response when I receive it in another update):

How much longer do we have to wait? It's been 9 months, and you haven't gotten back to us with when this will be fixed. Could you please make a point of fixing this issue? Thank you

Wings on Bosses
It seems many young Wizards are diligently looking for the new Winged Mounts on the high level bosses of the Spiral.

We've just discovered that they're not dropping at a high enough rate, and we will be adjusting this rate in the future.

Until then, give the poor bosses a break and continue with your adventures in the Spiral. We will let you know when the drop rate has been reset.

Cannibalizing Your Fansites

Dear KingsIsle Entertainment,
As you well know, it has been a fun time playing Wizard101, but with the new crackdown on Central, I'm getting concerned.

You claim to have our safety in mind, but what is the point of Open Chat, let alone your own forums (which pose a greater risk of account theft, btw) if you cannibalize your Fansites? Your fansites are the BIGGEST source for New PAYING Players!!! Its through fansites and the community on them that people decide if a company and its games are worth continued support.

This banning of Players for stating their Central Names is an even bigger foolhardy move than what you had done in the past with following a Big Announcement statement with a pathetic Teaser! Players should have a right to be addressed by WHATEVER handle they decide to go by, be it Central UserName or some abbreviation of their wizard name! You owe your community an apology for the insult you have given us!

By your logic, anyone who has ever used the 'Subscriber Benefit' of posting on YOUR forums should receive a Permanent Ban because of Sharing Account Information (Username)! Grow up, and use some Intelligence, KI! You partnered with Central last November for the Facebook Fan Danger Hound giveaway and now you slap it in the face!!! I'm ashamed of you!

You have crossed the line of 'Safety' into 'Hypocrisy'. Buckle down on the Moodha be cursed spammers, Boyfriend/Girlfriends, and Scammers, fix some bloody bugs if you've got that much time to be 'worrying' about people using a W101 Approved Fansite user name!!!

I am also posting this on the following thread of Central:
http://www.wizard101central.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64467

Know that I am still a paying player, but more and more your actions are driving me towards the desire to quit your wonderful game due to Lack of proper management.

Kindest regards and Warmest wishes that I can give right now,
Wizard101 Central User: Ask Johnist
