Test Realm is open! A plethora of updates!

You can view them here let's take a look at the ones I am most excited about!

January Update Notes 2011  


Let's star with a prime area of interest for me Housing!!
Those lovely Wildclaws learned how to make wallpaper, cut, and lay down tile! woot! Grizzleheim inspired Wallpaper and Tiles is now available that's great news for my storm Isaac and his Dragon Fjord and Vanessa Stormcaller's Wood cabin house! :)

2 new houses both right out of Celestia one is a Floating land style house which I seen looks pretty cool actually although I think my Storm "Floating Land" house is still better! It can be bought with gold or crowns. The second house is a little trickier it's a crafted house much like the Watchtower Hall so be sure to plant those Pink dandelions now to ensure you have some cause it's a tall order for sure.

For you that own the MASSIVELY FANTASY PALACE you can now kick out any ill doers even if they happen to be in a duel so play nice people!

Onto with the pets!

Ice hounds cast their own spells now

Jade Oni and Earthwalker pets cast spells that represent their schools this is interesting I wonder if they are referring to Power up. I also wonder what spell the Earthwalker would have now but this is only speculation.

Mounts!

The Meowodon has it's speed raised to 40% like other mounts Alura will be happy to hear this I'm sure.

These mounts sadly will be removed from the crown shop for the time being.

- Purple Glider
- Faithful Dragoness
- White Mare
not a mount but the CL sword is also being removed.

 I like this so far however let's see how other players react to it.

I won't ruin it for you hopefully this enticed you enough to read the notes and check out the test realm yourself!
