Wizard 101 News - The Ups & Downs of Shopping, UI and Loot

Posted by Jon Wood on May 04, 2009  | 4 comments in our forums

MMORPG.com Wizard 101 Correspondent Matt Plourde writes this article focusing on the UI, Shopping and Loot aspects of the game looking at how each system hits and how they miss.

Okay, the gloves are off for this one. I'm a big Wizard 101 fan, and I continue to play & enjoy my time in the Spiral. However, there are some glaring holes in the Interface, Shopping & Loot systems. Some of these pitfalls can be navigated, and some are just part of the experience. Hopefully, you'll find some useful tips below!

Interface:

Wizard 101 does several things right: your view is not cluttered with windows, bars, or a massive radar. Aside from a few unobtrusive icons around the corners of your screen, the main view is dominated by the 3D world and your character - bravo! This is no small feat for a modern MMORPG.
