January Updates

I haven’t checked the Dizzywood blog in quite a while, and it was just today when I noticed that there are several new entries in their blog. They’re under the tag “flashbacks”, and are about old features that were in Dizzywood. They also include a link to a flickr account that has a lot of concept art, which is really interesting to see. Feel free to check it out for yourself! Just head over to the Dizzywood blog and click the “Concept Art” entry.

Original Presto’s Edge – Dizzywood

There isn’t much else to report, but, as always, I’m amazed that they still update their blog. That means that there’s at least one person who works on Dizzywood and cares about the user base. Although it is very unlikely that Dizzywood will come back some day, it’s still good to show your support. So, make sure to head over to their blog and write comments! As always, I’ll continue updating this blog whenever I see anything new.

Hey Everyone!

Hey guys, I don’t know if you remember me or not but I am Cheerio710. I played Dizzywood. I miss it a lot… I am going to be helping Lolly out! You know with new info about DW coming back and all.

Past Winter Festival

On December 30th, 2012, Dizzywood updated their blog!

It’s a very short article about the Winter Festival, which occurred around Christmas time when Dizzywood was open. Sadly, the article doesn’t say anything about a potential revival. However, most sites don’t update after they close. Dizzywood still even has a .com to their url, which means they’re paying for that (although, it’s not too expensive compared to operating the servers).  This could definitely mean we might see more of Dizzywood, whether it be a full revival of the site or just something small (other than the app?). Hopefully, they’ll post another article in the next few months!

Keep up the fan support, and I’m sure the Dizzywood Staff will notice. Again, I’ll update this blog when there’s something new.

Thanks for reading!

Dizzywood App

On October 10, 2012, Dizzywood posted a new app on itunes (and perhaps it’s available on android devices?). You can check it out here:  https://itunes.apple.com/app/id556960773?mt=8

The game is basically like bejeweled, you’re moving the diamonds to get 3+ in a row and win, ‘saving the swamp’. There’s a lot of the old dizzywood charm, like the monster cartoons at the top of the screen. The game isn’t that extensive, but it’s a great addition! Dizzywood hasn’t had news in months, and now there’s a new app available! They haven’t posted anything on their blog yet, which is surprising. I’d expect them to promote the app, but maybe they just haven’t had the time to yet. Hopefully we’ll hear some news soon!

Anyway, this also shows that this might be what dizzywood was talking about in the last blog article. The two pictures that looked like trolls seem to actually belong to the swamp theme, with their frog-like skin. Maybe playing longer into the game reveals something about them? If anyone does finish it, please post here with any details! It’d help a lot ❤

Also, just to add something. In the blog article, it seems like the month of October is pretty important. The scarecrows are kinda of Halloween-esque, so maybe there’s something more to this? Perhaps we’ll see a new update on October 31st next week? Whatever it is, I’m excited to see what’s coming next for dizzywood!

I’ll continue to keep this blog updated. (: If anyone knows anything about the app, please comment!

The Rumors

So, as everyone knows now, the April 23rd rumor was false. There hadn’t been any word on the re-opening of dizzywood, so how could someone know the release date? Please don’t believe in any rumors you hear (like the May 12/13 date), because they’re never really true, sadly. D: We can only trust the official news on their blog.

There are so many people still supporting Dizzywood! If we all want it back, we have to show our support even more. Post comments on their blog! Send them emails! Start a petition! Do anything you can to show that we won’t let Dizzywood fade away and die like so many other virtual words. If we all do this, Dizzywood might stand a chance at coming back. We might get some more news, which would be amazing. Hopefully they’ll see just how many people miss the site. ❤

 

Something New?

So, as promised, I’d post here if there was anymore dizzywood news. On dizzywood’s blog, they posted a strange picture that they said is a sneak peak for something we’ll be seeing soon. Here it is!

It’s concept art of something, but I’m not sure what. They look like monsters, one male, one female. It also looks like dizzywood’s regular art style. But, what could it mean? Hopefully we’ll get some more dizzywood-related news soon! I wonder what they’re planning… I have some ideas that I might post soon, but I’d love to hear some of yours! ❤

 

More Dizzywood News!

A few days ago I decided to see if there was any news about dizzywood,  and instead of coming across the usual broken url, I noticed something quite different. After many months, the dizzywood creators finally announced some news about the now-dead virtual world. They’re actually looking for ways to bring dizzywood back, although it doesn’t seem as if they will bring back the whole game. They say in “some way, shape or form” which could mean anything! Maybe they’re thinking of creating an official forum or blog of some sort. Whatever it is, I’m really glad we’re still hearing news about dizzywood, and that the creators haven’t given up on us yet! Keep going strong everyone! I’ll post on this blog if I hear anymore news.

Dizzywood Coming Back?

‘Thank you everyone for all the kind words about Dizzywood. We really wish we could have kept it going as is for a long time. But don’t despair! You may not have heard the last of Dizzywood. More details to come. In the meantime, what are your favorite Dizzywood memories? I know we have some old-time Dizzies here, so let’s hear your favorite moments from Dizzywood history.’

This was posted on Dizzywood’s facebook a couple of days ago, and I’m excited to find out what it means. Perhaps dizzywood is coming back? Maybe the dizzywood company somehow got more money to continue running the site, or they might even completely redesign dizzywood? Or perhaps this is something stupid and nothing to be excited about…? Whatever this means,  I hope we’ll hear more about dizzywood soon.

RIP Dizzywood?

I haven’t been on dizzywood in a really long time, since it never updates anymore. I remember back in the old days where there were new missions ever couple of days, and tons of events. But, the staff gave up on that. They might have thought dizzywood was a waste of time and effort, but it really wasn’t. Dizzywood is unique. It has a unique style and feel to it, making it much different than all he other sites, like fantage and secretbuilders. On dizzywood you don’t just glide on a hoverboard everywhere; you can actually walk, run, dance and skip. Dizzywood actually cared about the community for a while, until they started to die out. There used to be three servers full on every day after school and the weekends, now servers are rarely full. Dizzywood obviously hasn’t been advertising anywhere, which made less people join. Then,  after only three short years, they announced that they were closing.

So I of course logged on dizzywood, ready to spend a couple more days on it. While I was on it I found that it was actually fun! I thought before dizzywood was so boring, and I hardly thought about it for months on end. But on those last few days I made new friends and memories on dizzywood.

After December 31, I found out that it was still open. The homepage with the play now link was still open. But then a few days later the link came down, although there was another way to go on dizzywood, which most of you know. I went on and was surprised to find that there were a lot of people on. Then one day after school, I couldn’t log on dizzywood. It said it was unavailable, and I thought at last that Scooter had finally closed down the servers. But then an hour later they were up again! And still to this day they are up and running.

Now you’re probably asking what was the reason for this huge block of text, right? Well, I just wanted to share my last few weeks on dizzywood, and how I changed my views on it so quickly. No, I really doubt that dizzywood will be open for much longer, since they ran out of money to run it, which the moderater cecy said so herself. I took a picture of when she said it, but I now I can’t find it. Luckily I took some pictures on the supposedly last day of dizzywood. Here they are:

I know hardly anyone will actually read this post, but I felt that I should write something for dizzywood’s last day.

Blog Closing for a While :(

Hey everyone!

I’ve decided to close this blog for a while. I hardly go on dizzywood anymore, it’s gotten boring after the beta testing, and I went on less, and less every day. This blog will open again eventually. (:

Right now, I’m a worker at a blog. It’s a roleplay blog, and we’re roleplaying about the warrior cats series by Erin Hunter. If you’ve read any of the books and want to join the roleplay, just post on the blog saying your cats name and if its an kit, apprentice, warrior, elder, medicine cat or medicine cat apprentice.

Here’s the link.
