Wizard 101 Travelogue

All of the older Wizards will know who Micheal Palin is and for those who don't know, he was part of Monty Python. He's been doing travelogues for the last 20-odd years. He's done the Himalayas and the Sahara and most recently the countries that lay behind the iron curtain.
Maybe this is something I shouldn't be admitting but I haven't paid to much attention to the flavor text for quests and object, etc. So I thought I'd start a new character and travel through the spiral paying close attention to everything and writing about it.

According to Professor Greyrose:
"The Gift Cards themselves do not expire for another 25 years, but the items you receive from them change.

As it states on our Gift Card Page
"Due to the delay in getting the Wizard101 cards out to Rite Aid®,
we have extended the availability of the Protector Set pets until 30 June 2009! "

At the end of June, the stats of the pets will change, however their outward appearance will not."

It's nice to know that the cards don't expire but the important part is the last line.
At the end of June, the stats of the pets will change, however their outward appearance will not.
The abilities of the pets will change with each new set, but they won't look any different. If you buy a piggle now and hold onto it until July starts and the Assistants set enters 'rotation' you'll get a piggle with a different effect that looks the same as your other piggle.

I, and probably everybody else, was expecting that each set would have different pets not the same ones with different effects. I hope they'll change they're minds once more people hear about it.

IMHO: these pets are not the Assistants Set and have been added because people complained that they didn't have 7-11 or Rite-Aid near them, but we don't really know since these haven't even been announced yet.
