    please don't hesitate to visit those darker topics when it comes to talking about games. I think it makes you more human to be able to discuss a wider range of human emotions and experiences. Our memories and typically full of happy and sad times and everything in between. I'm happy you were able to relive those moments with your father

      The devs themselves arent getting updated to empower to think beyond what they know Unfortunately.
      This is a human centric issue.

    Now I realize sad time is, officially, over, but I'm sorry for your loss. Also your videos are great, I gotta respect the effort you put into editing them, and I hope this next year is better for you professionally and personally (at least a year without having to consider mortality).

      Finished the video. Also not a fan of MMO's and most years, i will come back for the new worlds and story updates and leave for awhile. Definitely worth picking up for a casual fun story to playthrough with friends.
      Not the best experience alone or ignoring the story because I think that's where most of the enjoyment comes from. The people and the narrative.

    Hey! I just found your channel, and, I must say, that was a great video! I loved this game too, when I was younger. I vividly remember going into the public houses and playing tag with a bunch of strangers, and it was a blast.
    I also had an experience with my father in this game. We would play together a lot, bond over the goofy story, and get stuck trying to get to Firecat Alley with the silly quizzes. Although we are no longer on speaking terms, seeing this game allows me to remember the good parts of our relationship instead of the bad ones. Thank you for reminding me of this game, and keep making videos. Sorry for your loss.

  • @defaultkoala2922

    I played through this game up to level 50 and beat Malistair recently to complete a childhood goal of mine. It was a bit of a slog but I felt very satisfied when I finished. I don't think I will play any further as my nostalgia only took me that far but I would say that the game is still fun and recommend it to anyone who has similar memories of playing the free areas of the game over and over again. Thanks for the vid!

    The passing of my father also deepened the connection I have with Wizard101. My dad introduced me to the game, and we played it together a lot. I did, however, continue to play for years until he passed. I remember trying to guess the maximum level with him; and he told me it was probably 101. When i made it to lvl 101, i actually cried. I will never be able to tell him that I finally hit that level, let alone now that I’ve beaten the game (max lvl is 170!)
    Its very special to see that this game has touched so many in a somewhat similar way.

    Hey sorry for your loss. Nostalgia its a dangerous thing, and this game is no exception, it makes you remember the people you play with and the good times you had. I believe thats the reason why you aint coming back to this because its gonna keep hurting you. As I currently playing the game it brings me joy seeing people enjoying the game and talk about the game.

    Sorry for your loss, but also thank you for sharing this special game from your childhood with us! I don't think I ever saw commercials for Wizard101 (probably because I'm from Eastern Europe) so I had no idea this game existed. I think I would have also loved playing it as a kid!

    Wizard101 was also my first experience with MMO and my Grandpa would play with me on his own account. He gave me my very first permanent mount, the blue and white Pegasus mount. I wish I still had it bc it meant so much to me at the time and he's no longer here. I still have him on my friends list.

  • @TheBillybob895
    @TheBillybob895 День назад

    I don’t think wizard 101 is ever gonna go away, people love this game and keep it alive, I also wanna say that you can buy every single area in this game for about $180 worth of crowns and have it unlocked forever, and that’s cheaper than most super expensive board games that have tons of expansions. And once you have all the areas unlocked you have them unlocked forever, I unlocked all of them in 2012 up to dragonspyre and I’ve had them unlocked ever since, I still need to do it for up to where the game is now, but it really isn’t too bad, it’s no different than spending $120 on the deluxe gold edition of whatever the game of the year is

    I also remember playing this and running into the paywall when I was in middle school (ages 11 to 15 in 2006 to 2009). I thought it was pretty neat,. I enjoyed the designs of the characters and the little puns with names. Still wild to me that some of these games are truckin along. Neopets is SOMEHOW still here. I was more into the harry potter role playing forums. There was also one for the tv show Lost. I've learned I am not good at "acting" or Improv. So kudos to everyone who can do 50 to 200 words or more roleplaying.

There seems to be free Wiz City and krok, free first arc a few times per year and free entire game mostly around Christmas, so don't be a stranger!

    There used to be a time when you could finish the main story without paying a dime. Only the optional worlds not relevant to the main story were locked, like dlc.
    The change happened when i was still playing as a child. Hurt so much when it happened.

    • @BlueSparxLPs
      @BlueSparxLPs 17 часов назад

      Sadly never was true for the US servers, unless you're counting the closed beta pre-release, but there were no side worlds until Grizzleheim in 2009.. I remember starting in 2008 as a kid and convincing my parents to buy me a year sub so I could keep going with my new friends.

  • @HorsePowaa

    I started playing this game when I was three years old lol, but later on, when I revisited this game around 2015 I got hit by the paywall and I was disappointed and haven’t touched the game.
    But the micro transactions can be very dangerous because you can get addicted to gambling since there are packs 😳

    Despite being a kids game, I'm positive most of the people playing today are adults who played as kids (coming from an adult who's playing this game). Passing through the commons to see cute chat bubbles popping up about people complaining about NFTs or talking about their jobs is so liminal.

    On KI’s defence, they gotta pay the employees who made the game SOMEHOW. That’s why almost every online game has a membership option and optional microtransactions.
    And as someone who has experienced death (as in I have been temporarily declared legally dead) once, I am sorry for your loss but I know your father went exactly to where he thought he belonged. Given how you don’t speak badly of him, I assume he was a good man and so he probably thought/hoped he would go to Heaven, which is likely where he now is.

    it's always vaguely reminded me of Adventure Quest and those other games too when I hear about it lol.

    I used to really love wiz, but they got worse and worse with their monitization over time. You *can* play with just the subscription, which isnt a particularly bad thing, lots of games have subscriptions rather than a purchase, but if you want to actually progress in all aspects within a reasonable time you are heavily encouraged to spend money due to overly tedious progression systems (im looking at you pets) and poorly balanced pvp
