Young Wizards, summer is almost upon us, but it's always summer here in Krokotopia. My name is Alhazred and I'm the Balance Professor. Niles the Balance Tree and I live here in Krokotopia, and offer student Wizards training in the ways of Balance.

Wizard School continues year round, and to accommodate the increasing number of students we have increased the number of Realms. You can choose to play on Realms based on their name or their populations. Remember each Realm is a copy, and you can freely travel between Realms that are not full.

Let's get right into the June Newsletter shall we?

  The BIG NEWS this month is Grizzleheim! We've officially launched Grizzleheim, a new world on the Spiral.

Inspired by Norse mythology, Grizzleheim is an airy, outdoor landscape of snowy mountains, glacial ridges and towering trees that is home to three new Wizard101 tribes - Bears, Wolves and Ravens.

Players will first encounter the Viking Bears of Grizzleheim, great traders with the ability to travel the worlds of the Spiral, in the free-to-play zones of Wizard City.

As student wizards adventure through subsequent worlds, Grizzleheim will offer new quests, new locations to explore, new opponents and new Viking-themed decorative housing items interspersed throughout the mid and higher levels of the game.

How do I get Text Chat?

You may also simply have the Chat Bubbles turned off. You can turn the chat bubbles on and off by pressing the letter O on your keyboard.

If you have an account that is over 13 and can still not chat you might need to enable the feature. To enable you must login to Wizard101.com the website and select "My Accounts". Under the "Account Management" section login to your parental controls and click on the 'enable' button located next to the 'filtered text' option.
