Young Wizards, I am the Emperor of MooShu. I bring to you this month some important reminders about life in the Spiral.

There are many wonderful ways to enjoy your time in these worlds, so learn how to Earn Crowns by Inviting friends to play, learn how to Transfer Crowns within a Family of Accounts, learn how to change your membership and understand why it is important to be wary of those that seek to do you harm.

 There are so many exciting new items to purchase with Crowns, that we wanted to make sure that all our young Wizards know how to Earn their own Crowns!

Not only will you have more friends to adventure with, but you can also receive 1250 Crowns for each new person who creates a new Wizard101 account and buys a Membership or a $10 block of Crowns on that new account.

We've made it even easier for you to Invite Friends - your Invite a Friend code is unique to you! We invite you to post it on message boards, in email signatures, your Facebook or MySpace pages, anywhere that your friends can see it, and help you to earn Crowns in Wizard101.

To learn more about how you can Earn Crowns, go to Wizard101.com the website and log in with your account username and password. Then click the words Invite a Friend under your name! There are options to:

1. Print your code - put it on party invites or business cards!
2. Email your code - send your unique Invite a Friend code to everyone on your mailing list
3. Have your code emailed to you - send yourself your code, so you can remember to tell it to your friends
4. Have us send your code in an email - provide your friends email address and we will send them the invite on your behalf

So start spreading the word, every friend you invite who makes a $10 purchase on our site, earns you Crowns to spend on that new mount, a new premium area or a fancy new outfit!

Wizard101 is everywhere!

A Cautionary Tale
  Just as we have all been instructed not to take candy from strangers, so should you know not to accept gifts from strangers. If you don't recognize the person who sent you the gift, don't accept it.

Since Gifting has come to the Spiral, I thought this might also be a good opportunity to remind our young Wizards to be wary of players promising gifts of mounts or other goodies, in exchange for your Treasure Cards.

Be sensible young Wizards, and ask yourselves if this person is really going to give you an item worth $30 of real money just for a few free Treasure Cards - the answer is, no, they're not. They're going to take your Treasure Cards and disappear. It's not a very nice thing to do, but all trades must be agreed upon by both parties. If the trade sounds too good to be true, it probably is, so don't accept the trade.

Please remember, reporting someone for 'scamming' you out of Treasure Cards is not valid, since you both had to agree to the trade. If what you see in the Trade window is not fair, regardless of what the player told you, don't agree to the trade, simple as that. Caveat emptor is a very powerful lesson to learn, young Wizards. Buyer Beware.
