Wizard 101 answers the common question of: Is it fun to return to a game you used to play when you were a literally child who had no money, but now that your an adult you can purchase the membership and actually continue enjoying them game like you wished you did as a child?
The answer is yes, yes it is.

This game i quite possibly the start of my addiction to video games, I would get home in 4th grade and set in the same seat the rest of the day until bedtime. Now Im a crippling alcoholic, how things change. 10/10

Great game, super nostalgic feeling. Educational and a mostly friendly community.
People complain that it's "not free to play", but all the areas that are "locked behind paywalls" are also possible to unlock as a free to play. On the Wizard101 website you can take small educational trivias that award the user with Crowns, the premium currency for the game, which allows you to get 100 crowns a day. This means you can unlock a "premium" area about once a week, so with time you can access the full thing. Great for kids, the trivia is educational and useful, I would personally recommend it.

It's a great game with a colorful story and is very well rounded but, the paywalls hold it back from showing its true greatness.

Wizard 101 represents my childhood and holds some of my fondest memories, both in video games and in life. This game is incredibly fun, allowing you to put in countless hours while still discovering new and exciting features. From engaging in thrilling PvP battles and owning pets to exploring diverse worlds and enjoying rich lore and storylines, Wizard 101 has something for everyone. The community aspect also stands out, enabling you to make friends and team up with other players for quests and events.
However, there are some significant issues that need to be addressed. The game's monetization tactics feel predatory, with an outdated membership format that restricts gameplay as early as the later parts of Wizard City. In 2024, this approach doesn't hold up well, and the heavy reliance on microtransactions can be off-putting.
Another concern is the lack of responsiveness from the developers regarding player needs. An example is that there are older worlds, such as Marleybone and Mooshu, that require optimization. The first arc, in particular, could benefit from a visual and story revamp to make it more cohesive and engaging.
Despite these issues, I have spent over 500 hours on my non-Steam account over the past 12 years. I genuinely love this game and want to see it flourish. Wizard 101 has immense potential, and with the right changes, it can grow and become even bigger and better. I hope the developers address these concerns to help the game reach its full potential one day even though unfortunately my hopes for that are not as high seeing KingsIsle's history...

Been playing this on and off since i was in middle school. Even as i'm nearing my 30's, it's still enjoyable to log in from time to time and start a new play through for a bit of nostalgia. Please, never close these servers and let us relive our childhood when we need some semblance of happiness in this dim world.

It's a fun game, but so expensive to truly enjoy. Please KingsIsle just sell us the game for a flat $60 (I'm okay with less lol) to get all the zones, you'd revive the game. Keep member exclusive stuff if you want, but offer the areas to explore as a game package and I'm sure more people will play the game consistently.
