Wizard 101
 

Is anyone else playing this light, kid-oriented MMO? I tried it during its beta and liked it, but got busy with other games, but I've started playing again and really like it - there's a lot to like, and it's so different from most other MMOs. It's light and very casual, but I enjoy the card-based combat and high fun factor of the game.

One feature I really like is that you can start off with a trial account for free and learn the game, playing the first several areas, then you can switch to a subscription or just spend a couple bucks to buy access to individual areas of your choice, permanently. I also am absolutely loving the quick movement in the game - having a teleport home feature is great, but also letting you mark a spot and teleport back to is fantastic, and being able to switch realms/servers at will and teleport to the location of your friends is very nice.

I'm playing as Karic Ironbrand, Apprentice Necromancer of the Death School (of course.) Currently I'm on the Centaur realm.

I don't want this to fall off the radar because it does look interesting, even if it is kid-oriented. I will likely give it a shot over the weekend.

With Michael Jackson gone, the kids need something to do.

Yeah I am having fun with the game, even as an adult - it's very light, but I enjoy the way anyone can join into your combat to help out, and of course the way combat works, with decks of cards that you draw from, is CCG like and fun.

All four of my kids from 6-16 play and they seem to love it. I have not tried it out for fear of getting sucked in but it does look cool.

I'm not a huge fan of the whole card thing. Interesting though, never done something like this.

I'm trying it out as Antonio Fireshade on the Centaur Realm.

I'd try this out, but I've been screwing around with Nodiatis. Kinda like Dungeon Master and skill learning like Eve.

Anyone still giving this a try? I'm having fun with it, my character Victoria Silver is adventuring in the third world Marleybone now.
