Wizard 101 Overview and Recent Content

Wizard 101 places you into the role of a student at a school for student wizards in this MMORPG. Players create a character and then enter one of seven magical schools. After learning the ropes and some new skills, players plunge into the magical, sometimes humorous storyline.

The story quests follow the player's journey to stop the evil wizard Malistaire Drake and foil his various schemes. There are magic classes, wizard duels and more for each player to discover. Obvious Harry Potter influences aside, the game distinguishes itself with many roleplaying opportunities, quests, an abundance of skills to master, as well as a collectible card battle system.

Wizard 101 is suitable for players of all ages. The game is accessible through two unique means - subscription and a la carte. A monthly subscription will open up all areas and features, but another option is to buy "crowns" from the item shop and use them to unlock one or two areas at a time (for around $1-3). These areas will stay open permanently after purchase.
