Last night I decided to try some new games. So I signed up for Wizard101 and Dled the game. I was in shock. For a game I had some reserve over(I really did not think was good) it is actually  incredible for what it is. I plan on playing this game for a good long while. Bunt out on WOW. I

I never expected to see such a complete and crisp MMORPG. While this game is made for the younger audience. I actually had alot of fun over this addictive and quite amusing world. I fully recommend this game if you are looking for a fun and addictive game that does immerse yourself in a impressive world setting.

To let you know, I am a Hard Core gamer as well as PVPer. I still am amazed at this game. Feel free to try it out at

Have fun, I know I am!!

Thank you for your kind words xpowderx. 

It's great to hear how players discover our game, and we know it comes as a surprise to many. There are several aspects of the game that we're hearing appeal to serious gamers. Many use it as a retreat from more stressful, political and grindfilled games. Others take the opportunity to play with their family members in an environment they feel safe exposing their children to.

I'm sure you'll find lots of humour that many younger players will overlook in quest names and other interactions. The quest Fairies Wear Boots* is often a players first hint that some of our naming conventions are a little tongue-in-cheek. 

I hope you continue to enjoy your time in Wizard101, and if you ever have any questions you can contact us directly at community@wizard101.com

See you in Wizard City!

How is this game on humour? it reminds me alot of simon the sorcerer, are there literally laugh out loud moments or is it just the usual 'oh thats funny' and move on?


If you stand VERY still, and close your eyes, after a minute you can actually FEEL the universe revolving around PvP.

There is a heap of stuff in this game which is tongue in cheek - it's like watching a Pixar movie.  Adult humor hidden in a cartoon.

There are some references to things that will give you a chuckle too.

The one I remember was the quest to find evidence of a "Wumpus".  "Hunt the Wumpus" was the first computer game I ever played on a mainframe back in the early 80s.  There is lots of stuff like that all through the game.

And who could forget the Ninja Pigs?

I tried playing Real Life but the graphics sucked, the community was annoying too.
