You say “forgotten MMO” as if I’m not part of a group of grown men who’ve been almost exclusively playing it during this quarantine
Jensen the Cleric yo lmk me and my friend play it hella too and I’d say we’re pretty good
same here just got to azteca on by myth 😂
Thats the truth
@@matthewday7928 my life is in mangrove marsh
Jensen the Cleric yo I wanna play after finals and I’m older too need a group of friends 🧐😭
you just better advertised this game than kingsisle has in 12 years
zenos FACTS.
XD facts!!
Their marketing team needs work, they release like no good trailers and stuff like wtf
Fact
kingisile still has new ads coming out
When i was in 3rd grade, some of the kids managed to convince the teacher wizard 101 was a reading/learning game. 😂 We got to play it in computer class when we were supposed to be learning.
That’s actually amazing, I would have loved that so much.
I’d like to shake that persons hand and praise them
It helps with mental math actually
Technically every game is a reading game. I’m sure someone that cared more could make an argument about learning (aren’t there some mythological creatures in there) and it probably teaches kids something.
Nice one XD
There was a guy in high school that I was acquainted with who played wizard101 very seriously. He apparently had a lot of clout in game. He also asked me out- I was a fool to decline lol
Do you still regret it?
He was wasting his talent on you. Poor bastard. He prolly was gonna share his floating mansion with his fire cat and underground gold vault with a working genie lamp...now he’s prolly dating an amazing level 79 attractive storm wizard with the best spells
@@scottpeltier3977 lvl 69*
shrek_2_on_DVD 69 69? Storm spells are piss poor until at least 70. Girls will laugh at him
@@scottpeltier3977 JUST? LEVEL 79?? pathetic. signed - a level 113 balance
Literally if Wizard101 got rid of the membership everyone would play it
Too true, i'm too cheap and also negatively biased to freemium games
Aaron Martin everyone still does play it lol but so many more would play
Yeah but then they’d make no money
@@LukanatorGaming with the P2W store? I dont think so.
@@tados112 Only certain things are pay to win. (Like if you're death) But for the most part the store isn't really P2W unless you're going into PVP.
I’m in this one.
Hey man it was good to see you in this video, hope you are well and I hope you start uploading again.
You're not dead
Upload more consistently! Please 🙏🙏🙏
I'm glad you're getting back into content creation. Don't let your depression be your personality, man.
You are
What’s crazy is it’s player base has EXPLODED again since quarantine
if a murderer told me to hum a whole song perfectly or die i’d pick the wizard city main theme
Sheridan I would pick Godzilla’s 1954 theme song
On everything 😂 i can sing the theme song from every world on this game
Your very cultured
I’d do golem tower theme
@@eslin2845 YO THATS A BANGER THO
Just turned 18 and realized that I can finally use the "Open chat" feature in this game, which allows you too say anything you want. Now I can ball out in the commons with my big boy words, and say numbers.
I started playing before I was 13, so now that I'm turning 18 in less than 3 months I don't get access to that and it sucks hardcore lmao
this is weird because the family account I have must have us be at least 20 but we can't say anything. Is there a way to fix it?
Your Evil Twin Check the parent settings on the website and see if text chat is turned on
@@Wazaply my bad, it is on. I thought you meant censoring.
I don’t even play and I just realized that today
"Bearland"
Not saying Grizzleheim actually hurt like a bee sting
Same 😂
Same with grizzleheim but wintertusk was so pretty
@@dominiccefalu2671 Did he not say Wintertusk by it's name either?
When he said every place with the wrong name I said it the right way to fill my soul from the damage he did by saying it wrong
@@armmra75 It hurts so much
“Bear land” dont do grizzleheim like that 😂
I thought he said "Bear-lin"
Grizzleheim is ma city
I always disliked grizzleheim. Not the first time i played it though. Just going thru it over and over again with different characters is annoying lol because its so long and theres not many major quest till you get later in it
LMFAO I CALLED IT GRIZZLEY LAND
@@BurnttBurrito I know what you mean, the quest line leading up to you meeting the king was so fucking long...like "OK, so you came to meet the king hm? Well you better bring peace to most of our lands and resolve an ongoing full scale war with the wolves, then we maaaaybe let you have a little chat with him, maybe" always annoyed the shit out of me
i have this vague memory of having a decently high-level wizard with tons of crowns and really nice cosmetic items. and then my brother decided to rip that away from me and delete it with a simple abracadabra. i cried for hours.
Okay I dont play wizard 101 but your brother deleting your character like that is just cruel
Damn, I would cry too. Crowns aren't cheap and neither are the good gear skins rip
This happened to me too except instead of a sibling deleting my wizard I deleted my own wizard because I was a retarded seven year old
@@brotoswaggins reminds me how when I was like seven I couldn't get past a pokemon area so I deleted my save file and cried for like a week
I think crowns are connected the account though, not the character, so as long as it didn't delete the account you should still have the crowns, unless you meant something else. But F
I went back to Wiz after a decade. Yup I still can't go into fire cat alley.
Eve Hopskin 😂
People who still play, keep bugging Kingsisle about making all of Wizard City free. I’m praying they do, they’ll attract a lot more players
Tea Party its been 10 fking years no wonder everyone is quitting
I was able to go there,but then the wizard club attacked and everything changed.
@@teaparty7768 I would love to play this game again,but i dont see myself paying for it. Its like paying for old school runescape. I really hope they will make it f2p again
I'm still guilty of this game taking over my life
I'm 18 and have have been playing it since 2010 LOL that awkward time from 12-16 years old when youre a teen would secretly ask my friend if they wanted to play and we didnt want anyone else to know cause we were too embarrassed.
Nancy Mai same. i play for hours everyday lmfao
been play it since 2012
@@sarahbautista7893 Same lol.
@@sarahbautista7893 we love wiz queens
The best way that I've seen Wizard101 summarized is: "It's not really an MMORPG. It's a card game wearing an MMORPG costume."
That can be said for literally any MMORPG. Insert game type.
anyone else remember investing your life into this game and then hitting the paywall LMAO
We’re adults not fuck it we got money lol
Literally me
Crazy so long ago
Back in 2011 I got on for a month and just killed pumpkin heads in haunted cave, because I wasn't paying that. Paid for membership, 10 yrs later, maxed out my wizards and can never stay away from the game more than a few months.
Paying to play at all - when I was a kid, parent said NOPE when I tried because it wanted a credit card
A Fun fact about wizard 101 is that it has a small thriving community of people who stream it on twitch usually helping fans out or farming gear
FridgeDot
i was a member of said community up until a year ago. i met a good friend there and we always played together until.. i don’t know. :(
update: me and that friend play regularly again :)
I was one of said streamers lol
I was a hatchery person just chilled there and chatted. Good group
I am one of those community people, idk if I should stream
My friend is part of that
At 21 years old I still play this game. Why it's so addicting I'll never know. You get bored of it eventually, but it's one of those games you eventually go back to. 😂
Same
Right, same with Toontown.
Bruh 21 too and occasion go back a couple times a year
Can confirm, went back to it after 2 years because i missed the card battles. In all the games I've ever played, I've never found one with the same style as Wizard101. The nostalgia was fantastic. Even after all this time, the game still holds up!
Yep. Started when I was 8 and now I'm 18 😩
Forgotten is a very very strong word...it has more players now than in a long time. I've played since it came out with a pretty large group sooo 🤣
Same! Played on and off with loads of different people!
This was one of my 1st multiplayer experiences back in 2011, and i loved how the Grand Master told me;
"Wow, you're special, only you can help us"
*He says as a bunch of "Chosen Ones" are running in the background*
I had a professor in college that was actually a character designer for Kingsisle, and worked on both Wizard and Pirate 101. He showed us some of his concept art that he developed for the game and also shared art for a scrapped sequel called Hero/Spy 101. Pretty neat stuff.
what was his name?
@@clearcat7296 William George. He was an ex-Disney artist
Wish he was my prof and I could freaking ask him why they didn’t work on P101 more and decided to give it no more story updates
Angel Baby I think he brought that up but I can’t remember the exact details and don’t want to misquote him! I should shoot him an email sometime and ask him all about it.
That would honestly be really cool! I'd be seriously interested in what they would have to say!
I remember my 10 year old ass going on to shady “free crowns and membership” sites. Probably already sold my identity to like 5000 sites... Didn’t get free crowns or membership, but oh well.
saame
Didn’t we all
YES!!’ I remember trying so hard to be a member and searching through all kinds of websites on how to be a member for free
Same 😂

There are actually still commercials for Wizard 101 at Gamestop believe or not! I currently work at one, and W101 will regularly come in and out of the commercial rotations on our display screens, and it’s fascinating. The last one I saw was a few months ago (~March 2022) and it was the one with the witch and wizard fighting Malistare from like ten years ago (the animation for which surprisingly still holds up).
The equipments prepaid cards are also still around and are regularly updated and switched out. I think a candy themed one came out about a month or too ago that I have my eyes on ngl. 👀
I’m also a regular player now thanks to a couple friends who also played as a kid. We got talking and decided to make group to play the game together and now we get together on discord once a week to play. It’s made a childhood dream of mine come true to play this silly MMO with a couple of friends who also enjoy it. And now that I have adult money that I can use to spend on anything I want, I’ve got a fancy car mount from the crowns store.
Beep beep 🚗
Coming back to wizard 101: "your as beautiful as the day i left you"
I never actually stopped playing Wizard101. There's been a boom of activity lately because of the quarantine, but even before then it was still fairly active. They're adding new stuff and updating the game even in 2020.
been plaing since april 2009 i wasnt even in kindergarden at the time 😂😂
yes and the updates are a s s
I was playing it heavily as recently as 3 years ago and my daughter is still crazy about it now that she's actually understanding the dueling system effectively.
pvp died tho
KaneTheOG pvp always seemed boring to me anyway. But, I’ve always been a PVE player in any games so I think I’m biased
'Forgotten MMO'
Me, still playing Wizard 101 today: hmm...
My guyy
It's actually still really active I don't think it was ever forgotten. The amount of players has been consistently growing annually last time I checked.
@@metoo3342 I know right? When ever I go on there are like... 6-8 realms that are completely full
Well he does say it's still around and getting updates.
Just got my fire to visionary and my storm to exalted all over quarentine I’ve been bored
I remember back in like 2009 I had a gUy friend on the game named Blaze and he asked me if he could trust me and I said he could so then he traded with me and gave me ALL his rarest cards and said he'd be back for those on Sunday- so I logged on every Sunday for a year and he didnt come back- it's 2020, I went on again on a sunday, hes still missing- I dunno why he gave me his cards but liek, I think imma use them now
Also does anyone else remember a long time ago when people would run around in Ravenwood asking other people if they would "Have Hex" with them? 🤣
I had a ice wizard friend who was like my best friend irl as well. We would log on the same time every day and hung out like long time friends and I became a bud with her on snap. Then one day she just up and vanished and to this day I don’t know what happened. Hope she’s doin well do
Reading this, I'm wondering if any of the players I befriended on online games wondered what happened to me
I used to have 3 gf, somehow got all their numbers when i was 11. One was 14 and another was 19 lol, i remember talking to her and making my voice deep. Good times wonder what ever happened to them
@@BurnttBurrito I was a part of a friend group where everyone was friends with each other (only like 6 people including myself) and we all managed to add each other on Facebook lmao. They all quit the game by 2011 and they haven’t been active on FB since 2012-2014 :/ I miss them
“If you’re a life wizard.... good luck”
me who made a life wizard as my first ever wiz when I was 5 years old:👁👄👁
same man, I think I quit the game because I struggled to progress on my own lmao
Same. I made it to 87 (mostly) on my own, because I don't like to talk to people, but once I hit Azteca all the cheating bosses kill me in a few minutes.
It was tough for the Life wizards but I thought the teacher looked cool so I stayed
@@adivorcee2357 wasn't the teacher a cow? lmao
@@rlkxo3765 yes and she was iconic
"forgotten"
I don't know chief, that game is so packed that every time i'm in the commons it lags.
Soo many players..I think you should be talking about pirate101..
Pirate101 is so underrated, wish they'd add more quests and stuff. But Wizard101 is their money making machine so they have to focus on that one :/
I Stopped that after first go through
Wizards is so much better is there new elements
MinusUltra OneForNobody the game is horribly optimized the game runs at 20 fps commons no matter how good your PC if once there is just a moderate amount of players
I mean I don't think think they can anymore they moved there story writer for pirate to the wizard team and I don't think pirate really has a team anymore it sucks I always loved pirate more the companions added something to it that wizard doesn't have.
but also: what about that old pirates of the caribbean MMO
just resurrected my 11 year old account and now i'm hooked again. curse you, quarantine boredom.
Honestly quarantine is basically the nostalgic starter pack let’s look at something 10+ years ago
Cameron Quattlebaum very impressive
I really felt it in my heart when I saw wizard 101 again in my recommended. That game was my childhood and I also played the later Pirate 101 when it came out
I was mind blown as a kid when they first added pets.
I definitely love both Wizard 101 and Pirate 101 and they will always hold a special place in my heart.
*school of life is shit*
Me, a dedicated school of life student and wizard 101 payed membership playerwho played all throughout middle school: 👁️👄👁️
I've been playing Wizard 101 on and off for over ten years. It's a great time killer that doesn't make you want to punch a hole in your screen (until you get to the new highest level dungeons, those are stressful). There is a LOT to do in this game, overall the biggest game of my childhood, and very fun to run with your wizards for years. :) The beginning 20 levels are pretty standard, but after that, you get a lot more to work with in battle!
God, Storm Titan Hammer makes me want to cry and punch a hole in my wall.
Yep I’ve played since I was playing when it first came out I’m now 18 and I’ve had multiple maxed accounts that I’ve lost and gave away. I’m still amazed by the amount of people playing.
Literlly my big sister is playing Wizard101 right now in my room, and just so you know. She's been playing that game ever since the beta came out, and I finally decided to play it too but now I realized that I forgot my password...
I forreal wish i was 18 when this game came out i would have had and enjoyed so many of the amazing bundles aha
Wizard101 is actually still decently popular for it's age. It's actually had a resurgence due to the Coronavirus. It used to be less popular than it is currently.
Edit: You can get to that ad spell in a week.
Resurgence? They've easily tripled the number of active servers.
@@ethanzeigler3071 Really? fuck, and they still think it was a good idea to botch Pirate101 by just giving up on it?
Lol server are actually full due to the lockdown
@@ethanzeigler3071 Relative to it's populartiy back then, but compared to now Wiz is blowing up.
What ad spell

Lmao, funny story, I met my current GF through there! We played as kids with my father and we've been best friends for over 8 years. I've had her on FB for ages and we plan to move in together.
Edit: Practice safe computer usage and don't give out personal info if you are a child, or even if you are an adult! I got really lucky with the friends that I have, but you never know who is out there. Stay safe!

wanna get back on my lvl 50 account just to ask my girlfriend in the game if they were actually a girl, either way placing that bed on the ground and getting stuck together was great memories, ill never forget you
Omg 😂 I ported to way too many people that were stuck in a bed together
I am a female but I usually play guy characters and I had an wizard girl friend for about two days. I never had the guts to tell her I'm a girl and who knows maybe she was actually a he 😂😂
Tv Show HAHAHAHA broooooo
facts lol
LMAOOO
I remember when I saw commercials for this game when i was about 9, it blew my mind. Despite all the hate this game gets I've always loved it for its quirky self, I still play it to this day lol! I'm so glad you made a video on this! 🖤🖤
My whole body was just assaulted by nostalgia watching this video. Lowkey would love to play this with friends, if I had any
Ah Wizard101, so much nostalgia. Even when I stopped playing for a decade, I still kept flashing back to it (I really liked the idea of its magic schools and select worlds in the game) and recently picked it up again. It really is a tedious grind, but charming in its own way.
That Nerdy Gay Werewolf I just hate the paywalls you have to deal with
@@carlbloke8797 10$ monthly membership for all the content. Standard subscription pricing
@@foxysobek8109 He's talking about how the paywall starts too early. Half of wizard city is blocked off to you unless you pay for membership. The first half doesn't give you much, only half an hour. All of Wizard City will give you about 2-3 hours of content, good enough to make a decision on whether or not you want to continue the story by paying for membership.
That's a constant gripe within the community, and at times they *have* done that, but only on a select few weekends.
Yeah it really needs to be opened up though before you hit the paywall. Something right up to before the last dungeon of Marleybone/dog world might be great, similar to the FFXIV approach of giving you a lot of content to let you go through before they make decide on whether or not you want to pay.
@@foxysobek8109 standard subscription pricing for a 10 year old game, sry not happening, no means of insult, i play wiz101, but have stopped paying for membership because there are NEW games with the same subscription price "standard sub pricing you talk about, that are being updated more often, have more people etc. they do not recognize that their game is dying, is understandable that is a hard process, but they should respond accordingly, when things go wrong, prioritize quantity instead of quality first, instead of beautiful textures and updates, focus on bringing the audience back because no update is valid when there is no people to enjoy it. KingsIsle is of the utmost incredible absurdity when i comes to paywalls, they dont listen to the audience(unless is something else not including less money for them or something that gives them more money) they have turned a child game into a kinder ripoff. compared to all the worlds they have, i can not process through my mind that they have the balls to not gives the first world free. COME ON HOW MANY WORLDS THERE ARE? THERE ARE MORE THAN 10, if i remember correctly 10 would be half, or really close to it. Not even the tutorial world, NOT EVEN. (this is not hate against you, is just hate against a really wonderful and unique game thrown to shit because of paywalls that never change even tho 10 have passed by.)
Welcome back!

Level 70-80*
That area pisses me off, took me over 3 months to complete. (As a fire wizard 💀)
Did it in 2 days lmao
The jabberwock was the only issue i had tbh
Woah..... you unlocked a DEEP memory with this one. Never played the game (cuz I've never been into fantasy stuff), but I've seen the commercials hundreds of times
I remember pirates 101 that was the shit my memory’s were so found
For me it always crashed and lagged
I remember this game had a glitch where rental items (where you'd buy the item, and you only keep it for an hour or so,) could be given an unlimited amount of rental time just by changing your PC clock. So if you buy an item and move your clock an a year in the past, you'd have the item for a year.
Me and my sister felt pretty proud of our selves when we figured that out and started flying around on our rare mounts.
Dude, I love you for bringing this up. I used to do it too. Also the mini game cheats with the (forgot the name of the software), where you played doodle Doug, you punched in file numbers in the software and you just watch him dig, would give you mad gold. Good days, now I have purchased everything in crowns no membership or sub, took me about 400€, no regrets
@@chimeraproject9481 haha I bought the entire game with crowns too. NO REGRETS. CROWNS GANG. Everyone thinks we're crazy...

@@yonia4016That's like 7 years of annual memberships (at $60/year US). Hopefully you have, or will have played it for at least 7 years in total before you quit to get your money's worth.

Yeah same here
oh sweet jesus don't remind me tho i really do miss fusion fall so much rip
I played W101 for a little under a year when it first came out.
Just a couple years ago, (about the time this video happened) a buddy of mine started dating somebody who never stopped. To an almost weird level...
She had several accounts, and would party up with herself because she was just that obsessed with it.
It's a fun game, but I cannot imagine it being that engaging.
For real, that "I appreciate you" to the kitty is so blessed
6:14 That sound is PTSD. The amount of times that sound resulted in my defeat.
There are times when I heard bird chirp sounds and it's the same exact chirp from the commons
This this is the truth.
ESPECIALLY AS A DEATH WIZARD
Truly I wish for wizard 101 to become a free to play game.
Well they gotta make money somehow but I see your point
@@s0larkin134 Oh believe me they would probably make more as there would be more of a reason to buy premium armor pets mounts and more

If you are smart it can be free. You can earn a set amount of crowns by completing quizzes, and you can enable an option to watch videos to get free crowns too.
@@idkblah1295 ya that's gonna take 1000 years+ mate
I love that this game ISNT forgotten fully though, been playing it again since 2020 and i got past the paywalls for the first time since i started playing like- 8 or so years ago, last year!
Omg I remember playing this and trying out those cheats or whatever they were to get into Firecat alley for free, that was fun.
P.S I never managed to do it.
You should pick up the game again! 🥰
KingsIsle was my first job in the game industry post college, in 2014. What a trip watching this.

Wizard101 has a fun and fantastic digital card game at its core. I was a F2P Wizard for more than a year and during that entire time after spending a few hours completing all of the story I would log on every day to farm the Harvest Lord for gold and mats to buy the best (and best looking) equipment/pets for my level, as well as some of the awesome higher-level Treasure cards to surprise opponents with in the Dueling arenas.
On my Sorcerer, I used to rule the arena (It was a different time, now every low-level character has 50 treasure cards of Shadow Magic or wtf ever) purely because I had somehow figured out how to predict based on pips what amount of damage my opponent could or couldn't do in the space of any particular round and make informed, calculated risks based on that prediction. 9/10 times I was bang on and I won every game where my opponent was within 3 levels of me and didn't have high-level treasure cards or pay-to-win equipment from the store. I even beat a level 22 once as a level 12. For some reason Balance was just a monster (at the time) at maintaining the perfect balance between defense and offense, so I could outplay basically everyone on a consistent basis. It was honestly one of the most fun times I had playing an MMO, and to me the world of Wizard 101 beats out Harry Potter by a million miles because of it.
Never forgotten since it's an integral part of my childhood.
At the moment they're working at completely overhauling the game, they even completely changed the beginning tutorials, plus the pet system is getting reworked. I'd say now is the best time to either start or resume playing
the pet update is shit
For the OG gamers who were here from the beginning (like me) it is very strange but I don't hate it😂
the pet system is getting reworked for the worse lmao but yeah
Its going to be another decade before the game gets a full graphic update at the rate they’re going. And the pet “update” was just hated by the entire community because it made the grinding for gold to make pets even more tedious.
Too bad I made my account when I was 6 and I’m a balance wizard that has so many side quest I don’t know what my main quest is and I didn’t know clothes give you things so I just bought all the low level stuff when I was 8 just because it looked nice and I don’t have anymore money to get anything else
Wizard 101 : " Westworld , but good"

Still play this game with my kid sister. She is 16 im 31. We always make time to play at least twice a week for a couple hours. This gane really helped our relationship. She is a lot easier to talk to while casting helaphant at way too early level because of the flashing dragon spear. That thing is OP early game. 😂 But this is a great game to bond with younger siblings to open up a little bit without it feeling forced so thank you Wizard 101. Althoygh i could do without the gambling for kids still thank you for the awesome worlds and hours spent raining down holy fire on the streets of Marleybone and the peaks of dragonspire. Good spellcasting wizards and may you spells never fizzle.
Despite being an MMORPG I genuinely loved the lore drops as a kid when I ran into the pay wall and just made a new character. Like the first prophetic vision a fire waizard has about the Titan dragon and malisteir or whatever his name was had me fucking shaking and genuinely fearful as a kid.

- Schattenpflanze - They do add updates, not major, but updates nonetheless.
@@itsjetty5163 yes but that wasnt my point, mayor updates like world and dungeons only once a year and the remaining updates come every 4 or 5 months, not weekly.
@@-schattenpflanze-3755 I meant updates as in "this is what we're working on and doing" not changes to game as a whole.
@@itsjetty5163 Totally correct! They have major updates twice a year but they update, patch and add bits and pieces every week. There are regular events at no extra cost and packs/crown items added for those who want the latest pets/mounts etc. The KI team are very active, as is the game. :)
I stopped playing back in 2013. I need to remember what my password was lmao
The freaking selina gomez quest still has me floored
When he said "If you picked a life wizard, good luck"
I felt that
No joke i felt that
Edit:thank you for your wonderful conversations in the replies. Your all very nice ❤
Just Someone it was literally impossible to get past lvl 50 with life
The hard part is mostly living through without an aoe. You dont get one till level 58. After that its kinda chill. It just takes a bit of pips.
It was kind of easy for me
Patrick Sullivan cause you were terrible lol that shits ez
Level 120 life here, probably the most op class if u make it that far
you: forgotten MMO
me: *laughs in Pirate 101*
I honestly forgot about that
@Contemplation where?? i can only find the letter from december 2019
@Contemplation Dun Dun Dun! KI was bought by another company who will do regular updates to not only Wizard 101 but Pirate 101 as well.
Dudeee pirate101 is superior
Woah that brought back forbidden memories 😭
I live in Austin, and I've been very much privileged to have become part of the professional gamedev community here. One of the best parts of meeting artists and devs is hearing the juicy gossip about workplaces and King's Isle... has a Mixed reputation...
Yeah dude it really wasn’t forgotten it just wasn’t thought of. My friends and I started playing it late last year and it’s been so fun
The Selena Gomez Underwater world quest... classics. My level 22 character’s house still has the painting and statue...
Ohhh man you gave me mad nostalgia
I remember accidentally selling the statue as a kid and crying for so long!
When I sold her statue. Worst idea
I sold mine like a dumbass
ZZZ yo DEADASS SAME HERE ,.,
I'm a highschooler and i'm still playing this. No regrets.
No regrets I played this recently as in the last year or two might pick it up again which element did you choose
Lol I'm 22 still occasionally playing
The opening theme makes me cry from nostalgia
That mini-leprecun slam poetry just unlocked a part of my brain I didn't realize was there.
I was LITERALLY playing this yesterday for a nostalgia trip, along with games like Poptropica, Animal Jam, Jumpstart, and Webkinz (toon town lived on in my memories)
If you don’t know, you can still do Toontown through Toontown rewritten
Oh man poptropica was so good!
@@MegaMicah12 yeah bro, it's a real fun time. Also free now
Still kinda guilty how much money 10 year old me got my dad to pay on this game
Felt this
Instead of getting memberships, I got every zone until Azteca with crowns....
Trevor Houff “dad can I have 10 dollars to buy a card”
@@josuelouisfils lol more like 100
Hizo, nah my dad would just get me one every month without me asking. He did it like a membership online, I forget why he didn’t wanna just do it online. Sometimes they’d even surprise me and get me a bundle without me asking. They helped start my pc addiction 😂
Back in 2011, at the very end of 8th grade, I found out this kid I knew spent $500 bucks in school chocolate sales to fuel his Wizard 101 addiction. Mans was absolutely maxed out buying the cards they used to sell at GameStop. We then found out he apparently was scamming the school and had to pay back all that shit lmao
All I remember about this game is that my laptop could /barely/ run it but it could play any other flash game and even Gaia Online which was a little intensive just fine.
Same with Toon Town.
Lol I still play Wizard101 everyday, it's still a lot of fun honestly.
Factsss I hope they get bought out by an actual company so the game can thrive again
@@camdenwyeth316 Or at least make it free to play. That's just gotta happen for this game to continue to thrive again
It’s 100000x more fun if you’re playing with friends. Time literally flies by so fast
100 percent agreed! I couldn't agree more!!!!!!!! What quest are you doing right now? Or like what world? I am on dragonspyre, Malistaire. edit: update! I finished malistaire, we on bearland now XD
Oh shit you are right :(
My only memory of this game was one of my DeviantArt “sisters” asked me to draw her Wiazard101 Avatars as Sonic OC’s... I had a troubled childhood...
PrinceLynxie what an aptly chosen pfp
PrinceLynxie judging by the pfp your adult life is pretty troubled too.
That’s actually an interesting concept..
PrinceLynxie Yeah... your profile picture makes me think it continued past your childhood. 😬
@@emenefer pretty furry peepee
I remember when I was a kid, I asked my mom if I could play because she was the only one with a laptop. She told me she would check it out but never got back to me. That was 13 years ago and I'm only now hearing that it's still going.
Anyone else remember attending weddings, getting crates, barrels and poles to make your house look like a nightclub and joining "clans" and doing pvp wars? My childhood revolved around this game. I still have some of my w101 friends on FB and PS4.
I’m a life wizard and I’d like to say that my school is valid thank you you very much 😤 you aren’t getting any of my heals 😡
LIFE GANG
Thank you every time my friends say life wizards are useless I say they are useless then I heal myself 😂.
Life gang rise up.
Life sucks, storm is op, and that's just facts
I'm a pyromancer but I spent most if not all my training points getting all the life spells in Ravenwood. Might not have much for damage but dammit if life spells (and wizards) aren't handy as shit when a fight's going sideways.
Wizard 101: The YuGiOh card game.....with pets!
@@NintendoDude888 So like Vanguard and MTG
its more than that
@@IvyIsVeryTired woosh
@@mattwo7 How is that a whooosh? More like r/whooosh to you.
@@IvyIsVeryTired Chain of memories is a real time combat, where wizard101 is not, its based on turns.
I recently jumped back into this game and holy crap is the new score good. It still holds the nostalgia of the older days, but as someone who never got to hear the theme to Krokotopia (thank you paywall), hearing that new remix sparks joy in my soul.
Also, for those who don't know, WIZARD CITY AND KROKOTOPIA ARE FREE UNTIL THE END OF SEPTEMBER. My childhood self would have KILLED for this.
The first MMO I've ever played... loved it and spent hours despite never passing the free trial part. Thinking of reinstalling it just for nostalgia's sake (found my old account details when I thought I'd lost them, phew!) but the membership is indeed quite cheap...
Miss miss wizard101, but I'm not willing to sell my soul to Kingsisle anymore
My friend, just a few days ago, was just talking about how she reactivated her account to Wizard 101 and how she is now playing the game again. How ironic that this video was released pretty close to when she told me about her account to Wizard 101.
It's a sign...get it downloaded and start your adventure! :D
Dude , when he said I'm sorry nana I felt that because I woul always ask mine for gift cards all the time
I remember seeing these ads of wizardz 101 on tv while watching commercial breaks as a kid
Nobody is gonna talk about how there’s literally a doctor who world
Ahh hem his name is the professor and he wore the fourth doctors scarf😂😂
Which world?
@@phonyhealthinspector She's talking about Marleybone. Probably the lamest and shortest world but honestly one of my favs visually.
Elle marleybone top 3 best worlds imo
Elle Marleybone one of the best words tf u mean
Despite the problems I have with the game, I love the worlds and lore. Hell, I'm trying to gather it all about in a paper. Just wish KI would update the story of P101 as well.
That's really cool, actually.. I would love for a project like that to exist! Good luck
@@dontdriveat88 Thanks friend, those in game book quests really help a bunch. Just trying to gather info on Marleybone right now.
@@gaianexv2109 Pretty cool! I love the dimension that Five Boxes and stuff like Morganthe's memories adds to it all too. It's sadly hard to focus on the lore when you grind but the curiosity sticks! Are you planning to post this to a site of some kind when you're done with the project? Or is it more a personal endeavor?
@@dontdriveat88 Oh yea, those boxes events really did help. Yep, a little personal project. Once I'm satisfied with it and make sure things are fact checked, I'll post it for all the fans.
@@gaianexv2109 A lot of the lore, I realize now, deals with the theme of love: how love can can be overpowering like for Malistaire, or how it could literally make and break the spiral, as seen in the end of Empyrea. Raven and Spider created the girl who's name I now don't remember as a vessel of hope and unity between life and death, only for the chains that hold the worlds together (the Polaris intro) to be in jeopardy. Well, I'd love to hear how that goes for you. This thread'll be open and I'm sorry for ranting, it's just too much.
Kingdomy Hearts Chain of memories is one of my favorite gba games and I once tricked a friend into playing wizard101 by making him believe I played the game. It's like you are making these video's just for me!!!
I've been playing this game with my girlfriend for ten years now and still going strong. It's as engaging and fun as it ever was.
Fake
@@everythingpony how so? Hell I still play this game.
As an original player since the game came out, a ton of updates have been made. I’ve noticed they’re slowly changing parts of Wizard City by updating the graphics and rewriting quests. I have a feeling they’re planning to start promoting again and trying to get new players to join. I loved this video btw! So glad people are still talking about this game.
Theres been reports of facebook ads resurging
if you prefer the older graphics you can actually download the older graphics in the options menu
I remember when I used to see these commercials all the time on Nick and cartoon network.
I never knew it died.
I just thought they stopped airing the commercials.
Feels like yesterday.
You're pretty much right, though. Game is alive and well, but for some reason they've stopped marketing pretty much anywhere except for their own official channels. Not sure why they'd make that decision.
It's not dead. I stopped playing like last year it still going pretty strong
Ive even seen a few of the card things that give you extra items at gamestop
/i saw the commercials up until like 2013? I wanna say.
I still see banner ads on the strangest of websites but the game doesn't seem to be dead by any metric. The player count is still decent, it is still being updated, just sitting as a little time chamber for nostalgia.
Ngl if it is still around and I am raising a kid I will try to get them hooked on it.
I played this game since 2011. It is only since last summer, at the age of 19, that I actually figured out how to play this game properly. I'm hooked, now that I don't suck ass
That intro really hit hard with the fact I only cancelled my membership like last week bc I forgot about it
This, Club Penguin, that one super hero squad online game, Adventure Quest, and Monkey Quest were my shit
Monkey Quest was advertised on almost every Neopets minigame.
That super hero squad game was pretty fun ngl
Adventure quest was amazing
Exactly
Yooooo that super hero squad game was heatttt
"if youre a life wizard good luck" THE WAY I FEEL THAT BC IM A LIFE WIZARD
my sister and i still play this game 8 years after making our accounts...
Nyxx im like a level 40 life wizard and have a team who Rely on me cause of my heals lol
@@wizzrt1 Yeah that's how me and my group play too, but the moment I have to do anything solo I'm usually screwed because there are so few Life damage spells :(
Nyxx what level are you?
Nyxx im getting a new laptop today so I be able to play again maybe we can form a team
god this game was my childhood 😭 i was so active on wizard101 central especially, good times
Found it at Steam after years of not really thinking about it,
And I've played it a bit before I found this.
It's still kinda fun, but it certainly has it's...
_...Issues._
It's still got a lot of charm, I must say.
Sincerally hope they do something like this that isn't "Pay-to-Play," in a progression sense...
