Created in October of 2020, the WizNewsletter serves as a way for students and staff to recap on the month's updates. WizNetworkers spend countless hours researching, writing, editing, and implementing each section so that the happenings of the wizarding world do not go unnoticed. Let’s get into the news from the past month!

SERVER ANNOUNCEMENTS
Step into the darkness with the Void Store Releases featuring some brand new items along with older, featured releases that fit this theme just right! Cast tons of mysterious spells with the Void Wand, or perhaps you’d rather fly around in the night sky on the Black Hole Broom. Looking for something to add to your outfit? The Anti-Halo, featured Halo, or Cloud Hat Collection might be for you! Make sure to check out the rest of the releases in the “New Releases” on our online store, or preview them for yourself in the in-game store!
As PotterworldMC celebrates a fantastic decade, we’ve made some exciting updates to our rules to keep things clear and fun! The team noticed some areas needed a little polish, so we’ve refined our guidelines to align with the ever-evolving gameplay. Check out the updated rules to stay in the loop, and remember, all players will need to follow these moving forward! Plus, we’re thrilled to announce that LabyMod Voice Chat is now allowed—just remember, it’s at your own risk! Don’t hesitate to reach out to the Prefect Team with any questions or suggestions. Happy gaming!
GAMEPLAY UPDATESThe Game Designers cooked up some new updates and additions for our players, including some Quality of Life features and player requests! To start, 131 new riddles were added for players spanning from level 66 through level 80. Another addition was a clock added to the /me GUI! Reminders were added for daily rewards and notifications when daily activities are completed, and there's so much more for you to explore on the official announcement! On a separate note, some changes were made to Echoes to ensure that players get the best experience possible when playing. For example, a path was added to the Study Hall from the Viaduct Entrance for the Echoes of the Past Quest. Casting Signum in Echoes' Mazes resets the timer now as well, and the team fixed a region in Broken Bridge Parkour that wasn't registering the player falling! There's more to check out with these additions and changes, so make sure to check them out so you stay in the loop. A big thanks to our team for these updates, and keep an eye out for more coming soon!
The Engineer Team has been hard at work preparing some updates for our community, so let's take a closer look! In this particular patch, the team focused on feedback relevant to our Gauntlets, hoping to achieve a better balance to make both the Revenant and 9 Hells Gauntlets more enjoyable for you guys. Related to the 9 Hells, Nycta's Dragon Flame Breath will no longer turn the ground to fire, and Bellok's Phase 2 duration has been reduced by 7% of his total HP. There have always been changes to Osirisar and Oceanus, so make sure to give that a look. The Revenant Gauntlet includes changes to the Butcher, Wraith, and particularly Zirxas, which has quite a few fixes. General Magic Changes have also been included in this patch, featuring fixed bugs with Blizzix, and changes to both the Specutelum and Impervio spells. Check out all of the official changes on the official announcement, and enjoy the Gauntlets!
