Greetings, witches and wizards!

Over the past week, us Store Managers have worked hard on updating and improving the store to provide a better experience for you all and even give you guys some extra perks! We’re working on further improving the store so look out for those changes!

Wand Names
If you have purchased a Wand Enhancement or Allegiance/Club Package, you will see that in your Wand Names in “/wands”, there are new wand names to pick from. The original wand name from each package will be kept too. These new wand names are:

Phoenix: Flameheart
Aurorlock: Lawkeeper
Dark Follower: Deathbringer
S.P.E.W.: Rightsgiver
Werewolf: Nighthowler

Nicknames
We have also changed our rules on nicknames slightly. You may now include multiple underscores, dots and dashes in your nickname so long as it makes sense. Staff members will be the judge of this!

GUIs
Alongside the new wand names, we’ve officially added a way for you guys to actually change your wand name. There is a new button in the “/wands” GUI to access these wand names. Additionally, we have updated the “/hats” GUI to separate hats and wearable wands for a more visually-appealing appearance.

Item Names
Finally, we have changed the names of a lot of store items. Examples include: “The Diadem” is now “Raven Diadem”, and “The Eye” is now “Magical Eye”. We felt as if the original names weren’t very appealing and we want to ensure everything, even the name of the item, is of high quality!

We Store Managers sincerely hope you all enjoy these changes!

Hello everyone!

After careful consideration, we have decided to close Jr. Prefect apps until further notice. Our team has grown tremendously over time and so we want to allow our current members to shine as much as they can without it getting too overcrowded. Everyone who has an application open currently will be receiving a response shortly.

Thank you!

We're happy to announce that a new patch is ready and with it we have 12 new quests, 29 daily riddles, and a few adjustments! The Potterworld Staff team is now aiming to release patches fairly often with new content, fixes, and changes, and this is the first of them.

For the full list of changes, click here!

We are so excited to announce that Performer Applications are opening!

Performer is a non-staff position which involves working with the Potterwatch Directors to create content for the YouTube channel. They'll have the opportunity to participate in videos and streams, as well as leave feedback on all of the upcoming Potterwatch content.

This application will remain open for two weeks and will close on September 16th @ 12pm PST. Do take your time when you fill in the application and make sure you are able to meet all the requirements (listed in the beginning) before submitting it. Please contact the Head of Media or Potterwatch Lead if you have any questions.

If you are interested in applying for Performer, click here to find the application!

Greetings, witches and wizards!

Hello everyone!

As you may have seen before in-game, we have a team within Community Management known as the Inquisitorial Squad. Before today, this team’s goal was to plan and execute Team Building Activities (TBAs) and staff-only events for the Potterworld team to bring the team closer together. After a few months of working on TBAs for the staff team, we have decided it’s time to expand our reach and work towards bringing the entire Potterworld community together.

Starting in September, the Inquisitors will be hosting Community Engagement time twice a month (to fit multiple different time zones). Our hope with this time is to bridge the gap between the staff team and players and better get to know the members of our Potterworld community.

Community Engagement would take place both on Discord and in-game, and will be focused on connecting with the community through fun activities and games. These activities could include one-time bonding or competitive games, kahoot or trivia challenges, and much more! All of these Community Engagement activities would be up to you if you decide to join the team!

With this in mind, we’d like to announce that applications to join the Inquisitorial Squad are now open! If you are interested in joining the team and working towards engaging the Potterworld community, apply here!

More information about Community Engagement will come closer to our first event. If you have any questions regarding the application process or these new Inquisitorial Squad changes, feel free to message the Lead Inquisitor on Discord.

Hello witches and wizards!

It's that time of year again where students will be excitingly returning to school! To celebrate, we have a back to school sale for you all for a limited time only! Until the 1st of September, all items on our store will receive up to 20% off!

Note: This sale does not apply to our Potter Points store in-game!

Salutations Potterworld Community,

In the last several months, we have seen protests surfacing in every US state and around the world. Many people, including us, feel the pain and anger over racial and social injustice in society, and the inequality is clear – change is overdue.

This world has a long history of racism. Humans love to group together, and then love to create division between groups unlike themselves. It is so ironic how people need each other but still try to separate each other when those “other people” don’t look like themselves. The things happening in the world are not new, they are stark examples of the ongoing struggles for equality and justice all around the world. Like many of you, I have struggled with processing these tragedies and thinking about what Potterworld and I can do to help.

When I created Potterworld, I knew from the beginning that I did not want to make Potterworld a social platform for me, or anyone to use as a place to soapbox social issues, religion, politics, or the like. The reason why we always “measure twice and cut once” when it comes to addressing things like this is because of this reason - which is my own stance on things. I want Potterworld to be a place of acceptance for ALL people no matter their background, no matter their beliefs. I want to make sure, especially during these times, that at a minimum, our Black friends and team members deserve to feel safe whether they are playing on Potterworld or helping to staff our server. We want to again commit to our rule of not accepting slurs in any form on the server. More than ever, we are making sure that we are committed to not only racial equality but all forms of social, political and belief equality as well.

I know many of you are affected in different ways. I...
