Evil Magma Peas

I don't know about you, but I use a guide on wizard101central about gardening with Evil Magma Peas (EMPs)

Look it up on central and you will see how you can get up to 32 rank 9 mega snacks in 3 days with barely any work.

I will publish a link later

Fun After 70

Contrary to what most people do after they reach level seventy and/or finish all the quests, I still find the game fun. Many people quit after this fact but there is so much more to do!

Here are some of the fun things you can do:


Housing Activities /challenges :

Hide and seek
Maze
Hotel running
Make a big housing project and do something that has never been done before.
Make a house with items from farming only!
and more!

Pet Challenges:

Make a perfect talent pet!
Make a perfect derby pet!
Mix them to have a perfect pet!
Collect pets
Collect hybrids
Collect one type of pet.
Put on a show at your house with the pets
Beat Grub Guardian
and more!

Other Challenges:

Collect one type of item (i.e. mannequins)
Put on a play
Make a youtube video epic.
Collect mounts
Collect Gear
and more!


Other:

Hold contests and events
Make a house/s
Invite friends to your newly made house
PVP
and many more!

As you can see the fun doesn't stop at the level cap and some of these activities are very repeatable so by the time you finish it will be time for the new world and quests and levels!

How did this happen?

So I was looking at my google analytics info for this blog and it says I got 3 views from Ukraine and 1 view from Germany. So how did that happen?

The stranger thing is that where it shows what website have linked to me, it shows this russian or ukrainian website called troll something. I have no idea what this is about.

Extreme Design Changes!

I am currently working with deathywiz on making a more pleasing to the eye design for the blog. Stay tuned!

New Design

I redesigned the blog a little bit with the background and such. Let me know if you like it!

The Extent of Programming

Wizard101 is a programming masterpiece. Most people don't pay much attention to that fact. I happen to know some programming myself in C++ and Actionscript. And let me tell you, its not a walk in the park. All the debugging for the most simple program could talk hours to weeks even years. So I know many people complain about KI and their mistakes in the game. But think about this, each thing on the list could take years to debug and/or create. Each thing causing massive problems and requiring extensive amounts of work.

They need to find an algorithm to make the increase in stats correct for each level increase and the gear increase stats accordingly.

They need to program Artificial Intelligence (AI) into each and every enemy and how they fight differently and decide what is considered hard and what is considered easy.

They need to have focus groups get together and decide what would appeal to all ages for new content.

As you may have noticed in update notes, they have people go through all the text in the whole game looking for spelling and/or grammar errors.

They need to cast actors for NPC's and Enemies and create them with all the artwork and animation.

If you look in the behind the scenes videos on youtube on Wizard101 you can see that they don't program the world from the players perspective, the make the world around the players so that there is really more scenery in places that you can't even get to. That is why some places that are glitches have scenery.

I might edit this post with more stuff later. But just think about the work load and how many people it takes to accomplish these tasks in time as to not delay and upset customers.

So maybe cut KI a little slack huh?
