So yes the Ravenwood Ball was yesterday and to celebrate this great event I thought I would do a post about the history of meet ups and events in Wizard101. So without further to do I present to you the History of Meet Ups and Events in Wizard101.
The first event ever hosted was simply know as the Wizard101 Gathering of 2009. It was hosted by the Wizard101 Wiki. The event featured massive trading card parties and a race from Krok. to Mooshu to win a treasure card (They were pretty useful back then) The gathering even had it owns trailer!
The event also included a contest for a $10 gift card for the best picture of the event. The meetup could not have gone better, the turn out was amazing and it featured almost every blogger. Everyone was wearing their best outfits even Friendly Necromancer who broke out his amazing Santa outfit. About halfway into the event we all moved inside the pyramid where we preceded to sing songs around the campfire.
The next event was the first ever Meet and Greet. It was hosted by your truly and allowed all of the bloggers to come together and meet their fans. I could not have asked for a better outcome, there were tons of people there hours before the event started. It was hosted in MooShu in the Jade Palace in the minigame area. That space quickly filled up so we then moved to in front of the Jade Oni instance area for the best Grizzleheim outfit contest. We all then moved to the rock garden area where we took group pictures and one of perhaps my favorite pictures from a event, the bloggers only picture with everyone blogger who showed up in it.
The next event was SOMG or Second Official Meet and Greet. This time around I co-hosted with the lovely Fallon Shadowblade. The main idea of the first meet and greet stayed true for the second one but this time it included more activities. This time around we had so much going on we needed to have bullet points to list all the activities :P
* Scariest Costume Contest (by Evil Theurgists)
* Treasure Card Giveaways
* PvP Matches (for fun not rank)
* Group Questing
*Sunken City runs
* And More!!
The meet and greet was hosted in Nightside and in a matter of minutes of the event starting we filled up Area 1. The turnout was amazing, everyone had fun and just as the last meet and greet it lasted for a bit longer that the measly hour given for it. I also was able to get some great group pictures!
The next event and perhaps my most favorite event would be the Cancer Walk. The goal of this event was to spread the word of cancer. It was co-hosted by me and the lovely Fallon Shadowblade. The event included a in-game walk, a race and a speed run battle to see who could defeat Rattlebones the fastest. The turnout was great and it was really fun. It was for a great cause and it help spread cancer awareness.
The next event was first Ravenwood Ball, it was hosted by Diary of a Wizard in honer of them turning 1 year old. It also marked the 1,000th member to join Diary of a Wizard ConnectX. It was hosted in Ravenwood and featured a plethora of contests. All of the big stars from around the Spiral were there. Ravenwood Radio also has a short red carpet show of the event. The event winded down a few hours after the start time but not before all of the stars were flooded with friend requests. The party did expend to houses and that's it actually seemed possible to get a picture without being mobbed, like this one check out this picture from Diary of a Wizard
The next and more recent event was the Second Annual Ravenwood Ball and Birthday Bash. And as always it was hosted by Diary of Wizard, after all it was there 2 year birthday! This year's bash was the biggest yet, have around 20 or so areas during the event and having area 1 fill up hours before it started. As always everyone came in their best outfit. Some of the highlights included a huge group of fire elves clustering in front of Bartleby and another cluster of skeletal pirates behind the ice school. The mobs began to do what they do best when Friendly arrived, he was instantly mobbed and had no chance to escape. Perhaps the most fun part of the whole event was the mini-parties, it allowed various people from the community to open their home up for guest to come in. It turned out great as while there was a ton of people in Ravenwood there was also a ton of people in various mini-parties around the Spiral. Amidst the chaos the whole crew over at Ravenwood Radio was able to get this great group pic, it looks great, especially with the ninja pig bowing down.
