    Im actually surprised there isnt any nonsense like "Oh, you a grown man like P101 or W101, you must be a pedo!" as there usually is with such things.

    I rarely ever post anything in forums or remark on comments of anyones... but OMG... some of you really are closed-minded!!!

    I began playing Wizards101 shortly after the beta several yers ago, my then, 32 year old son got me hooked. Since then I have played with several of my grandkids and now play with my 7 year old grandson, who has just reached level 50... (some of you 'close-minded' folks need to try making it that far!) I also play with several adults, some older than myself... They don't play it casually, they are hardcore! 

    I currently have 4 Wizards, one of which is level 90 and has finished the game, as far as levels go, there is still much to do, crafting, farming and homes to finish. I spend much of my time helping smaller Wizards complete quests!

    The game gets a lot more difficult than the free play!!! If that is all you know about the game, then you don't know squat about it!!!

    I have played WoW and many other games... I find Wizard101 very refreshing and enjoyable, it is also difficult... There are areas you can not complete yourself, you have to have other Wizards help with. And if you find the game uninteresting, choose a different Wizard and try it that way, the quests will be basicly the same, but the challenages are different.

    Seriously, those who put the game down that have not completed several levels don't enjoy gaming or are just too stupid to enjoy something that doesn't involve dismantling body parts... There are MILLIONS playing this game, there must be something appealing about it...

    Also I have no interest in playing with children. Granted that cannot be avoided in most online games but in games like this, it is likely that you have more children playing it.

    Perhaps one day you will see , i started playing ff on nintendo( i am the blus block you are green ROFL) and quit when the girls edition 

    ended as wel as playing d+d  , zelda and to many more to mention , the whole idea is entertainment , todays grapic and add funny story line for those who get the old time musical references to Led Zepplin , Bluue Oyster Cult again the list goes on ! I have 6 wizards 4 in Azteca ( by the way would challege almost any good gamer )  1 wizard  in avalon which has the most amazing colors and creepy enemy for a kids game ! I play with numerous folks 40 + met some super people  , And some amazing kids with fantastic outlooks! hats off to you parents that have done so well ! Multi( generational)( my word ), game

    Unheard of, and Congrats KI, i never thought i woud see so many Familys playin together !

    LONG LIVE NONSENSE !

    ummm alakor it's the trial not the actual game so you have just demiened yourself into stupidity because you tried the trial? maybe if you get to lvl 90 and pvp you would see that it's about strategy and not simplistic you fricken imbicil play the whole thing before you criticise

    Well mainly all i have to say it's a great game and personally i've played the whole game it's pretty intense beside the fact that it's with kids.but as some of the other post replied IT'S A FAMILY GAME. It's suppose to be friendly and appeal to the family set base.

    Okay i have to agree it is SORT OF silly, no gore and blood and all that is kinda disappointing, but it is also  really fun. here is what ive gained in the past 6-7 months:

    W101 is a good game even if it is child like everyone could use a little child like stuff now and then besides watching guts spill out or heads being ripped off.

    Maybe that's because J.K. Rowling is a writter and not a writer.

    It's a kid's game.

    Why?

    Because my kids play it.
