Wizard 101 News - 2 Million Users and Gift Cards

Posted by Keith Cross on Apr 30, 2009  | 4 comments in our forums

KingsIsle Entertainment has announced that Wizard101, their kid friendly MMO set in a wizard school, have announced that over 2 million unique users have signed on to play the game along with their announcement of their new gift card program.

Plano, Texas - April 30, 2009 - Online entertainment company KingsIsle Entertainment, Inc. has announced a gift card program for family-friendly hit game Wizard101® (www.wizard101.com), which recently surpassed two million unique users who have registered to play the game.

Starting today, $10 prepaid Wizard101 gift cards are available in 7-Eleven® stores nationwide. Purchasing through local outlets offers friends, family and fans of the 3D virtual world of Wizards and spell-casting more options for unlocking advanced game content.

"Wizard101 gift cards give our growing community more flexibility and parental control in their purchases - beginning with a way to purchase advanced game content in a store," said KingsIsle CEO Elie Akilian.
The $10 price point makes Wizard101 gift cards an affordable birthday gift, allowance treat, or a fun surprise for the in-game pet collector. With the new gift cards, players who don't have a credit card will have more independence in the way they spend small increments in the game, whether they decide to unlock new areas of the game or purchase equipment and accessories for their Wizard101 characters, such as wands, treasure cards and holiday items.
