More Maintenance, and Other things

Hello Wizards!  First let's get some news from KI:

Wizard101 Extended Maintenance

Wizard101 the game will be offline tonight

from 1am to 6am Central US Time.

During this time, players will be unable to log in to the game, and active players will be prompted to log out.

Our website will also be undergoing maintenance and may have interruptions in service during this downtime. Thank you for your continued patience while we improve the game service for all players.

I wonder what these updates will be?  And the website is going down as well.  I'm thinking maybe some news on Celestia will be posted, possibly some solid dates, and maybe a bit more as far as teaser art goes.  It's all very exciting!  In other news, today I scored 4 pets, 2 of which I already had.  I got a deathbat, skeletal warrior, green ghost, and red banshee.  Kiss the Red Banshee and Skeletal Warrior goodbye from my farming list :D

In other news, E3 2010 is under way and Nintendo seems to have a LOT of fun coming in the next year.  Sony seems to have some great new things coming our way too, though I missed the end of the Sony Spotlight on G4.  Does anyone know if KI has anything hiding away at E3?  It seems like that could REALLY boost the player base even further, and teasers at an event like E3 could start Wizard trending worldwide! 

Well, that's about all I've got for this installment, and now I'm going ITS.

Your Friend Always,

/\ Official word from KI /\                   \/ My thoughts on official word \/

Still, your items will likely not be returned because of the 4th line above.  Too bad for those of you who are missing mount :(  And now for my actual post.

I was beginning to get burnt out on farming, so I decided today to run around and just enjoy myself again.  I was running Tree of Life after Kagemoosha's Citrine Blade (the only balance sword I lack) and I got a lucky drop from Death Oni!  I got my little Leprechaun.  He should hatch sometime early tomorrow morning.  Now all I need is a myth leprechaun to complete my set of 4! :D My birthday is on St. Patrick's Day so the Leprechauns are kind of my special pet, I can't wait to complete the set.  The goal of the myth leprchaun really reignited my passion for pet farming.  Before I headed out though, I decided to try my hand at the arena now that there is a marvelous lack of Sniper Bolters.  Much to my dismay, I seemed to have lost what little skill I had before the Sniper Bolters were dealt with.  Oh well, I can work on it some. 

Nothing else really happened today, other than getting ALMOST to the secret life tower room only to fall short right above it.  I guess I have a challenge for later now.  And the Bloggers' Club is continuing to accumulate members, drop me a line to join if you haven't already :D.  ( /\LOOK UP/\)

I'm kinda tired so I guess I'll turn in soon.

Your Friend Always,
