KI LIVE: HAPPY NEW YEAR


The first KI Live of 2022 was super fun! We gave some exciting updates on Pirate101 in 2022, shared our holiday stories, gave away more Superfan Outfits to Wizards AND Pirates, presented the 2021 holiday artwork contest winning entries, and answered some of your great questions.

Missed the show? No worries! You can watch the recording of KI Live now on YouTube:


It's always a blast hanging out with the community, so let us know what you most like about KI Lives so we can continue to make them even more fun to watch.

Secret Reader Bonus - The giveaway code was also changed up a bit with an exclusive Pirate101 code provided this time. As of this newsletter's announcement, for those who didn't get a chance to redeem the KI Live giveaway code yet, we opened it up again (PIRATESUPERBOOTS) for another 500 redemptions!

For more videos and livestreams, be sure to subscribe to KingsIsle's YouTube channel.

A great gameplay tip submitted to KI Live comes from Flash33: “When doing ship battles against foes like Batacudas & Water Moles consider using smaller ships like a Monquista Skiff. They often have one-tile choke points you can park a unit in that'll prevent foes from crossing & often let you pick them off risk free.” - Flash33

LOVEABLE MELODY AND MADAM VADIMA

By Loveable Melody Morgan at Adventures of the Spiral


Adventures of the Spiral continues the story of Loveable Melody Morgan with Madam Vadima: Trouble in the Ancient Tunnels:

    “Loveable Melody Morgan felt a bit creepy, like something bad was going to happen. She just became a level 10 and she was summoned by Madame Vadima. Being Vadima was a witchdoctor, maybe she would be able to figure out this strange feeling, so Melody had a chat with her. [Wake the Dead!]

    Vadima was in a conundrum, “My Crystal show many things, but now? Nothing. Long has it been since Crystal was dimmed. Vadima has bad feeling about this.” Melody asked, “I have been feeling unhinged myself. Do you know what is going on?” - Loveable Melody
