The beta is ending soon! And with it shall go our characters. So an ominous note from our professor reads. It also suggests that people take as many screenshots as possible of their favorite wizards so that they can recreate them on the other side.
Fare thee well Iridian Stormshard, we barely knew thee.
Wizard101 Beta Test Ends Soon!
The faculty here at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who joined us for the Summer Semester of beta test play. We could not have done this without you.
The game, with many new improvements, will launch soon! While we are very excited about rolling these new changes out to the Wizard101 community, it means we will have to delete all characters (but not accounts) from the game. We truly apologize for this inconvenience. We will let you know very soon when the characters will be deleted. Be sure to check the website and your email for details.
When you come back to Ravenwood School, there will be a few surprises just for you, our beta test players. As a special thank you, beta test players will get a limited edition game item that no other Wizard101 player will EVER be able to get. To get your reward after launch, be sure to log in using your beta test username and password again. Stay tuned for more information on your special reward.
We know you’ll miss your characters. Take lots of screenshots of your characters, so you can recreate them after launch! We would love to see your screenshots, too. Send them to us at community@wizard101.com, and we’ll put them up on our community site!
We hope you will join the Wizard101 community to celebrate the game’s launch and start a whole new adventure to save Wizard City!
If you received multiple copies of this email, you may have signed up more than once with the same email address.
Thank you!
~Professor Greyrose
Sniff. Well, they are careful to say that accounts themselves will not be touched. So we’ll weather this storm.
See everyone on the other side!
Suspiciously, no launch date given, not even a non-committal “First Quarter 2009” kind of launch date. The beta is entertaining, so it’s very unfortunate they’re pulling it down before they’re ready to launch.
So sad when you lose your characters. But the limited edition game items in Wizard 101 should be sweet!!!
