KingsIsle Entertainment has announced that they have added a new housing system called Wizard Castles and Lands to Wizard101.

While the real housing market may still be languishing, KingsIsle Entertainment has made the dream quite accessible for players of online virtual world Wizard101® (www.wizard101.com). A robust new housing system called Wizard Castles and Lands is being made live in the game today, enabling players to customize their own personal space. The new feature ranges from a dorm room to luxury private floating island villas that can be decorated inside and out, complete with blossoming cherry trees, sculptures and a car in the driveway.

“As with other aspects of Wizard101,” said Wizard101 Director J. Todd Coleman, “we really wanted to make sure Castles & Lands was a feature all of our players could participate in from the very beginning.”

Wizard Castles and Lands provide a whole new aspect to the all-ages game of wizarding adventure, card collecting, spell casting, mini-games and more. All players, including Free-to-Play (FTP), start out with a dorm room at the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts with hundreds of decorating options from wallpaper to in-game trophies. Modest and luxury private Castles & Lands can be purchased with in-game gold, giving players a virtual space to invite their friends and showcase their Wizard101 style.
