We’ve made it! It’s been 8 years since the launch of Wizard101 (September 2nd, 2008), and it’s still going strong. To help celebrate this exciting achievement, Wizard101 is throwing a huge birthday bash – and you’re invited! Just be sure to look out for the gobblers … they are all around us this birthday!

Birthday Crown Shop Items

Old birthday favorites such as the Party Corgi pet and Birthday Snack Pack are back in the Crown Shop, along with two new items.

• New 8th Anniversary Gobbler Cake (A gobbler will pop out of the cake after you go up to it and press x!)
• New Gobbler Mount

The new gobbler mount has to be one of my favorites. It consists of the gobbler holding you while he whips you around like a rag-doll when he walks. It’s really hilarious and fun! You can get one in the Crown Shop for 3,750 crowns.
