Wizard101 is one of the most consistently developed family-friendly MMOs on the market today. MMORPG.com Industry Relations Manager Garrett Fuller has a preview of some new events and content coming to Wizard101. Check it out and then leave us a comment or two.
In the Family MMO market Wizard 101 remains one of the top games for players. Both children and adults have logged hours into the game and it continues to deliver on prime content, great story lines and more fun for its fans. If you have not played Wizard 101 before it is worth checking out. Even hardcore MMO players will enjoy the gameplay and fun combat system. This past month we got a sneak peek at what is coming up in Wizard 101. Players will see the expansion Zarafria come to its test servers. There is also a new app minigame coming called Grub Guardian for mobile markets that helps you level your in-game pet while away from the game. And finally, Wizard 101 has a few goodies coming for the Holiday season in December.

This is actually a really fun game. I remember I used to play with it with my younger relatives and at first I thought it was only for little kids, but I loved it so much I subscribed and played it for a while.

I agree, it is fun. Unfortunately it gets mistakenly labeled as F2P when its not at all. Only the intro areas and first 9 or 10 levels are accessible, after that you pay per area/item or set up a monthly sub. For what it is, though, its entertaining.
Only caveat I have is there is a certain (for lack of a better word) creep factor associated with the in-game socializing. I would say that the majority of players are kids and their parents, buuuut..it is also open to everyone. One thing that I noticed about strolling around in town centers where everyone hangs out is the commonly heard request by male characters for girlfriends. Now, I've played a lot of MMO's and I have yet to hear in /ooc guys advertising for gf's..except in Wizard 101. I don't think I need to elaborate any further on why I think that's potentially wrong.
Yes it is a very good game, worth spending some cash on. Pretty easy for young players to enjoy it too, but I would make sure they are suppervised.
Is this what Wolfpack has been working on lately? No disrespect, but I want my Shadowbane back, the only 'play to crush' MMO. My first, my only true love /cry
Fun game and surprising complex compare to the current button mashers we have.

./agree,
It's a pretty fun game, very original with some very cool features. Personally I couldn't get past the increasingly lengthy battles as you progress in the game, but patience isn't one of my strong points.
It is a great game, it does appear simplistic at first, but the card battles can be very challenging. Also, for those who like crafting and decorating it's very cool. I've been playing for about a year and I am now getting ready to craft my own house. Downside is the crown system, for solo players you made need to invest in henchman, the higher levels can be difficult, and imo there is somewhat of a difference in gear and weps bought in the crown shop as opposed to ingame gear. But in all, a great game.
This game is not for everybody but it does deliver the fun factor that we always wanted to experience. I played this game last year and I just wish to play it again this year.
