Welcome to Spring Party Review!        March 21st, 2011


The snows have all melted and the flowers are blooming. Spring has sprung! I had a great time welcoming spring to Pandanda with all of my friends on Saturday. I even brought Raphael and Phoenix out for the fun. Little Phoenix had to flap his wings hard to keep up with Raphael, but he didn’t mind!

During my visits, I decided to turn some games of Bunny Chase and Ghosts of Misty Hill into REAL contests by awarding Panda Gold to the 1st place pandas! There were a couple of special rules for the times we played for Gold - 1) No potions, and 2) You can only win once a day. It was awesome to see everyone cooperating and having fun!

The pandas who won Panda Gold for playing Bunny Chase with me on Saturday were PANDSWEROU, Jayy124cp, KASPERSKY, Sandano, Febiana124, Sherman98cp, nic883, razvanff, Gvido and rossey22.

The pandas who won Panda Gold for playing Ghosts of Misty Hill with me were Tomfalls3, Persiikata, Pandagelu, adelin319, Chelios, ggutev, Pami9, Sk8terguy277, jb1234, RanRan, and Alison1789.

Each of those players got 50 Panda Gold added to their accounts! Don’t worry if you didn’t get to play on Saturday. There will be more chances to play and win coming up!

Check out these pictures from my visits! I’ll be adding more to the Welcome to Spring album on Facebook later today. You can see the album here, even if you don’t have a Facebook account!

St. Patrick's Day Review                     March 18th, 2011


It was great to see so many of you dressed in green yesterday for St. Patrick’s Day. I had fun visiting, chatting, and Irish dancing with you, and Raphael enjoyed the chance to spread his wings and fly around in the warmer weather.

I snapped a few pictures during my visit (I had to snap VERY carefully when I was riding Raphael!) and posted them in an album on Facebook. I’ve included one of the pictures below. You can see the rest of the pictures here, even if you don’t have a Facebook account.





The Player Card Drawing Contest judges are looking at all of the entries that were sent in. We really have a hard job ahead of us to pick one winner, because there are so many awesome drawings! I will announce the Grand Prize winner next Wednesday, right here on my blog.

See you tomorrow at the Welcome Spring Party!

Welcome to Spring Party!                 March 17th, 2011


Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! I hope you're all enjoying your clover t-shirts. If you missed yours today you will still be able to get one if you log in before Saturday!

The weather has been warming up in Pandanda, and only a little bit of snow is left. The official First Day of Spring is Sunday, so let’s celebrate with a Welcome Spring Party this Saturday!

Join me and my dragons, Raphael and Phoenix, for a day full of Spring Fun! I will be visiting at 12:01 AM and 11:00 AM Pandanda Time (Pacific Daylight Time). The Pandanda Team worked hard on updating the list of times below, but since some parts of the world are in Daylight Saving Time, while other parts are not, please check your time carefully! To see the current time in Pandanda you can check the home page at www.Pandanda.com, as well as the clock on the calendar inside Pandanda.







I have something new and fun planned for my visits on Saturday, but I can’t tell you what it is yet. You’ll just have to party with me to find out. And it wouldn’t hurt if you brushed up on your bunny and ghost hunting skills!

See you on Saturday!

Shamrocks and Spring       March 15th, 2011


Wow, I’ve already spotted some of you with Zing Ballyhoo’s first prize! You are some dedicated Golden Ticket-collecting pandas! I wonder if Zing is going with an Irish theme this time. I guess we will find out more next week, when he reveals his 2nd prize.

Speaking of Irish, don’t forget to wear green on Thursday for St. Patrick’s Day. Everyone who logs in on Thursday will get a special gift. Want a hint about what it will be? Ok, listen carefully…. it will have a St. Patrick’s Day theme. Hahaha! Good hint, huh? You’ll just have to log in Thursday to see for yourself!

It’s your last chance to get your drawings in for the Player Card Drawing Contest. The deadline for your entries is 11:59 pm Pacific Time (Pandanda Time) on Wednesday. Any entries received after that will not be entered into the contest. Winners will be announced on Wednesday, March 23rd in my blog.

Make sure to mark your calendars for the Welcome to Spring Party on Saturday! I will make some scheduled visits during the day. I will have more information about the Party soon!

Party on, Pandas!

Zing Returns on Monday!              March 11th, 2011


I heard from Zing Ballyhoo the other day, and he is excited to be returning to Pandanda on Monday! He wouldn’t give me any clues to what his prizes will be this time, but said he thinks everyone will really like them. Watch for his tent to be set up at Tree House Lobby this weekend. I bet Questy will be happy to have Zing back to share the Lobby with him!

You can start collecting Golden Tickets after Zing arrives on Monday, March 14 at 12:01am Pandanda Time. Once you have 10 Golden Tickets, you can trade them to Zing for his first prize. I can’t wait!

You still have time to get your entries in for the Player Card Drawing Contest. The deadline for submitting your drawings is Wednesday, March 16, 2011 at 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time. You can find complete rules and instructions here or click on Player Card Contest at the top of the blog. The Grand Prize winner will have their design turned into an actual player card background to be used in Pandanda! They will also receive a 3-month Elite Membership Gift Certificate, 5000 Panda Power, and 200 Panda Gold. Show us your best drawings!

Party on, Pandas!

Super Questers meet DRAGON!!     March 7th, 2011


I had a great time partying with all of the Super Questers at Level 40 and above on Saturday! I was especially excited about giving them the first look at the rideable dragon from the Level 50 Quest. I think everyone was a bit nervous at the thought of meeting a huge dragon, but once Raphael appeared, it was clear that he was nothing to be afraid of!

After the Level 40 party was over, I took Raphael around to some of the other servers, to give even more pandas the chance to see him. He was really happy to be able to spead his wings and fly all over Pandanda. In case you missed it on Saturday, I’ve attached a few pictures at the end of this update.

Don’t forget, tomorrow is Mardi Gras Color Day! Wear your purple, green, gold, and yellow colors to celebrate this fun day. Zing’s Joker background, hat, mask, and shirt are perfect for Mardi Gras! You can even use Panda Paint to make your whole panda a Mardi Gras color! Laissez les bon temps rouler - let the good times roll!

March Merriment!           March 1st, 2011


The winter snows are melting in Pandanda, and spring is on its way! March is going to be full of colorful and exciting parties and events to help clear away any winter doldrums that might still be hanging around.

Let’s get things started with a contest! It’s time for you to show your creativity and design a Player Card Background. The contest will start on Wednesday, March 2nd. I’ll have all the details and rules in my Blog tomorrow.

The next big event will be this Saturday, with an exclusive party for Elite Questers who have reached Level 40 and above. Starting at 11:00 am Pandanda Time on Saturday, March 5th, I will be celebrating with those dedicated Questers on a private server. And yes, I will give them a sneak peek at the High Flying Adventure! Watch my blog later this week for a chart with party times around the world, as well as the name of the server we will be partying on. I can’t wait!

After the Level 40 party ends on Saturday, if you keep your eyes open and watch the Pandanda skies, you may get your own chance to see me flying on my dragon! 


Mark your calendar for these other March events:

• Tuesday, March 8th - Mardi Gras Celebration. Dress in purple, gold/yellow, and green.
• Monday, March 14th - Zing Ballyhoo returns with his Golden Tickets and prizes.
• Thursday, March 17th - St. Patrick’s Day with gift. Wear green, so you won’t get pinched!
• Saturday, March 19th - Welcome Spring Party. I will visit Pandanda to party with you!
• Saturday, March 26th - Free Elite Member Day.

I hope you are as excited about March as I am! It’s going to be a marvelous month!
