Last week, KingsIsle unveiled Wizard101's newest member benefit: zero energy fishing. Member benefits tend to be hit or miss depending on a particular player's in-game habits, but here are how mine break down.

    As a purchaser of Crowns to buy my areas, I don't get any of these benefits. It hasn't enticed me to purchase membership on top of the areas I own. In the beginning of the game I tried both ways. When my membership was up I decided I would rather purchase the areas. Freeing up my time to garden, train pets, craft, fish or do whatever I please. Also spending 3+months in Loremaster doesn't stress me out that I have to worry about finishing the game before my membership expires.

    I liked this game but did not like the way they implemented f2p....One of my least favorite methods.

    I buy my areas so don't get these perks. However, if I have a pet that needs training and for the double gardening, I will buy a $10 card for membership while the event lasts

    i wasn't that keen on the fishing but regarding the gardening i sell my extra seeds to either the crown shop or if they are no auction the gardeners(Harley and the others ) will buy them

    This is maybe the first positive thing i have seen this dev do since the first 2 years,but guess what WAY too late,they have probably lost a million++ players over the last several years.

    Also on the same topic,fishing is boring,it should have never been tied to energy and cash shop.

    There are several other BAD decisions going right now,i really think the KI's team needs to rethink their long term strats but again likely too late now.

    Example,pvp should NOT be tied to any cost,you know that banner the game likes to use play for FREE,well how about support what you preach.PVP in ALL gaming sectors is a huge draw for player base,if they had of kept that free from day 1,again would have likely made a LOT more money and had a larger player base.

    Zone/shard structure is bad for the visible population.Sure you might see all the kids hanging out in the noob zones but once you get into the pay area of the game ,which is 99% of it,everywhere is a ghost town.Shards are WAY too small.High cost cards,why bother,unless you want to stand there and wait several turns to play a card and then wait several more again for the next.Point here is the pips should have been upgraded over the last 40 levels or so.Same topic "pips"odd costing pips like 3 will still use 4 and same for all odd costs because all players have power pips at higher levels,so the design just has sooo many flaws.

    So long winded point,this is a positive small step but not nearly enough ,another 20+ changes could easily be done and should be..Open the game up,get more players,more visible players in ALL zones and you have a successful game,otherwise VERY long friend lists that disappear on a regular basis.

    So what this really does for NEWS and the game,literally nothing at all,just a small bit of positive press and advertising at the same time.It is still a heavy cash shop game with VERY little reward in game.IMO 90+% of in game rewards are very trivial ,it makes playing ,nothing more than run errands to get xp,very slow xp and very boring.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    i loved the fishing using no energy, It was the best time I had with friends trying to catch all the fish for the quests for fishing. I caught all but one of them on one wizard which is the sea fairy in Avalon, Other friends have caught it and if they do it again i will surely do it. Loved it.
