Hogwarts Live Blog

Ok, I'm sure you are tired of hearing about WizardCast, the official podcast of Hogwarts Live, but I had to post this additional message. WizardCast has now been approved for placement in the iTunes music store, so if you have iTunes, you can now subscribe to WizardCast and automatically receive the new episodes of the Podcast as they are released. As a special treat to those who subscribe, we will from now on place new episodes up in iTunes at least 24 hours before we post a MoTD here, so if you want to have first crack at getting those clues and finding your way to my lab, subscribe via iTunes today.

Hello my fellow members of HogwartsLive, it is my great pleasure to announce the first episode of the official Podcast of Wizards.Pro and HogwartsLive.com, WizardCast Episode #1 Is here!

For those of you who don't know what a podcast is, it is an internet radio show. In the first episode of WizardCast we have an exclusive interview with the founder of HogwartsLive himself, Headmaster Danilo. We also have a detailed description of the upcoming Upgrades and reset, and the latest in Fantasy and Science Fiction news.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not need an iPod or other portable MP3 player to listen to a podcast, all you need is a computer and a media player (Like Windows Media Player, Quicktime, iTunes, Winamp, or my personal favorite VLC).

In this podcast are hidden 4 secret clues, with these clues you will find yourself to a secret area of the game that cannot be reached without these clues. In this secret area you can find my Alchemy Lab and I have something very special for those of you who take note of all 4 clues.

To download Episode 1 of WizardCast, simply visit http://downloads.wizardcast.wizards.pro/
in your web browser. The podcast will begin downloading automatically.

As a special treat to all of you on HogwartsLive, it will be available to you via this link before it is available on the official WizardCast website.

So everyone get downloading and I hope to see you in my lab soon.

Enjoy the show!

Ok, once again, do not share the passwords or clues from the podcast with anyone, if they want the clues they need to listen to the podcast themselves. If it is found out that you have shared the passwords or clue, the prize you received from the clues will be taken away from you and you will also not be allowed to use the clues from the next episode either.

DO NOT SHARE THE PASSWORDS OR CLUES!

Our apologies for those who have had trouble getting to Devon, the portkey has been repaired, if you would please try again, you should be able to use your clues successfully.

I have fixed the bug with logging out at the inn, because of this glitch cedric's potion sale will continue through Sunday Night to help anyone who has lost hitpoints because of this glitch.

Alot of players who log out in the inn are losing their hp. I am going to ask kindly that you do not log out in the inn until this bug is fixed. Now if you have already done so and lost hp that you have bought. We will be happy to replace it. But to make our (Witchy's and myself's) life a little less hetic, I am going to ask that you refrain yourself from logging out there at the moment.
Thank you.

Ok, stop reporting bugs with Cedric, people have continually found ways around the hp cap with cedric and so therefore the new limitation has been put in place, Cedric will no longer sell you more max hit points then you are allowed to have, you are allowed to have 45 max hit points PER VE you have, plus 10 for each level (the 10 you get when you level up), no more, if you attempt to purchase additional max hitpoints past that point, cedric will take your gems but will not give you the hitpoints.

I repeat, there is no bug with Cedric, do not attempt to buy more hitpoints then you are allowed to have, there will be no compensation for you spending too many gems. We have warned you all that these limitations would be coming into effect for months, We have told you all about a maximum hitpoint limit, do not expect any compensation for wasted gems if you try to buy too many hitpoints, you will get NO compensation... I repeat again, NO COMPENSATION, so figure out what your max is, and do not go over that maximum.

Hello everyone, I am sorry to announce that due to a glitch the record of all purchased maximum hp from Cedric in the Hog's Head has vanished. There is not an easy way to get them back, so after your next VE your max hp may reset back down to the maximum you had from other means...

To help counteract this problem Cedric is having a sale on Vitality potion, You can now (until Saturday Only) buy Vitality potion for only one gem per dose of potion, and each dose will give you 5 max hitpoints (as opposed to the previous of 4 gems for 1 max hitpoint).

The new staff members have been decided. Please award them your congratulations. Questions regarding why you didn't make it will be ignored.

The Clan Founder is the person who has been in the clan the longest, this decision was made to minimize complaints as the staff has a logical and verifiable method of proving who should be the owner of a clan.

Do not send in petitions asking for the clan founder to be changed, if the person who was automatically marked as the Clan Founder does not wish to be so, that person should leave the clan and rejoin and the clan founder will be reset to the person who has been in the clan the next longest tonight when I run my script again.

Again, do not send in petitons asking to be made Founder of your clan, we have no verifiable way of legitimately proving that you should be the owner of the clan other then your word and will not change the founder of a clan based purely on a request.

Also the next phase of editing the clan ranks system is complete, Clan Founders can now set a minimum rank to be allowed to Withdraw from the clan vault, this setting is located in the same place as the setting for who can stipend.
