Wizard101 is a perennial favorite among many players of all ages. With this year's addition of the world of Avalon, players were challenged to hit level 80. But wait! KingsIsle isn't through yet. We've got the exclusive first news of another new world coming to Wizard101: Azteca! Find out more about Azteca in our exclusive preview.

With Pirate101’s launch, however, small waves of concern have begun to ripple throughout the Wizard101 community. ‘What will happen to our game?’ ‘Are all of the developers now working on Pirate 101 and leaving just a skeleton crew for our game?’

There's a suspicious number of first post users who joined the site on the same day in this thread...

I haven't played Wizard101 recently myself, though I certainly enjoy the game - it has more varied content than most AAA games I've played, and it's good to see they're still continuing to expand.

Yes indeed.  Vry strong possibility there are the same person with a different email address.  This has happened before with wizard 101 here and on other forums, even on wizard 101 central according to an interview with KI .   That being said, I think pirate 101 is a better game right now than Wizard 101.   Having played them both pirate 101 seems to have some teeth to it and is a bit more challenging in some ways.   These games are similar in delivery and appearance and its probaly fair to say if you don't like one, chances are the other will leave you disappointed. 

I actually played this because of Pirate 101. I had seen it on the site and wrote it off for years but decided on a lark to play it after hitting the free cap on Pirate. Now I am playing this more to get all the backstory because of the shared lore between the two games. They are both pretty fun and besides the sub, haven't felt the need to touch the cash shop yet.

Hope things stay good.

i just can't get into either wizard/pirates cause

1) it's children game

2) it's structured and linear

3) it's f2p (meaning p2w)

There are LOTS of games that are aimed at children that are still fun for adults, besides, we live in an age where full grown adults are still playing pokemon. Videogames being strictly for kids has gone the way of the dodo. If the gameplay is solid, the game will be fun for those of all ages.

Wizard101 does have some problems, but these aren't them.  I'm a middle-aged computer programmer who enjoys the game.  My list of complaints:

1. There is a random number generator instead of an AI for way too many minion/pet/summon actions.  It's very frustrating to watch the stupid-bots who are supposed to be helping me.
2. Soloing has become quite difficult for me, and people are so spread out across the many zones that I can't find help for the quests I run.  (See complaint #1 too.)
3. There is too much time wasted in battle animation, such as: useless skill activations at the end of battle, unexplained delays between animations, useless skill activation to dispel charms or wards that don't exist, time spent watching a pip heal someone already at max health.
4. There is poor proximity detection in some areas.  I swear I've been pulled into combat while running tightly against the wall and over the plainly visible sidewalk.
