      Honestly that’s what I’m hoping for but I won’t be surprised if we have to pay for two subscriptions which if the devs try to have players pay for two subscriptions that’s what will kill wizard101 on console. I actually remember where I just stopped playing wizard101 it was in arc 2 so I don’t know anything about the newer arcs. But if the devs make it so you have a subscription if you have your consoles online services maybe keyword maybe it will do alright. I’m not sure myself I’m cautiously optimistic basically I remembered where the paywall hits which sucks so like I said if the devs have the subscription tied to you having your console’s subscription maybe it will do ok. But that’s my opinion on it. Heck one thing I’m gonna do is check if the dumb paywall is at the same place when wizard101 comes to console, because if the paywall is at firecat alley game is dead on arrival. But if it’s tied to you having your console’s subscription then maybe it will do alright. I’m not a hundred percent sure.

      Using a game console does not require name and password to play games, but they do sometimes have password protection in getting into the system.
      If people don't know what the password is, your games are safe.

    My two biggest hopes for wizard101 on consoles is that one if you’re paying for a console membership you get a wizard101 membership for no extra cost. The second hope can be considered a hot take but I hope getting the training points for free. I don’t know the changes that happened for arc 3 onwards.

      I'm just adding on to this comment ^
      If players have to pay for both the console membership and wizard101 membership, then it will turn away both old and new players. They need to make the first arc free just as mr. bobcat said.
      That's the reality. Accept reality.

      Like I said I’m cautiously optimistic I haven’t played wizard101 since arc 2 so I’m ok with starting over but only if KI make so if you pay for your console’s online services you don’t have to pay for a KI membership because like I said before if KI makes so if you have your console’s membership then you have a wizard101 I can recommend it but if you have to pay for two memberships your console’s and a wizard101 membership I’m sorry I can’t recommend the game in good faith. I’m not talking about spending real life money for some items in the crown shop that’s fine but having to pay for two memberships that’s a no for me.

      To be honest that is my biggest worried that for free players they’re gonna be only to be able to go to Triton Avenue for the highest level area. Because if the console players have to pay for two subscriptions that’s what will kill Wizard101 on consoles like I said before on my comment since I haven’t played Wizard101 in years I don’t mind starting over but what I do mind is spending over $100 a year to play wizard101. I’m sorry I’m not gonna spend $100 to get the full story if I have to spend money to get my online services too. What do you think would be a great thing to do. Not counting getting PC in the cross platform?

      And to be honest, I remember some time in the summer of 2009, KI complained about not being able to add content that they wanted everyone to enjoy.
      With a game console, KI could revisit the materials that were prevented on computer and add it back in.
      Also, if KI staff gets discouraged over a failure with console, they could pull the plug of Wiz being on computers, with crowns players enjoying the game while others have nothing.

    Several times, the Mac audience, which I've heard devs refer to as 10-12%, has had to wait months for KI to catch up to a new OS update, or has been shut out of test realm altogether. Clearly, they just don't have the bodies and the bandwidth at KI to keep up with the routine demands a multi-platform effort like this would entail, much less branch out to console and have it be meaningful. I really don't understand why they would do an entire marketing rollout effort without being 100% certain they could do it. Yet they do it all the time. That is sort of amateur hour.

    Hey that's me in the thumbnail :)
    I 100% think the console player base will die off in 1-2 months if they don't adjust the paywall. How many players will pay for both a console and wiz subscription? Like at least Xbox doesn't require a subscription for free to play games. But even then it will still die off either way. Maybe if they allowed you to use pc accounts on console that could save it. Personally I will be trying it out on Xbox day 1 but probably won't stick around.

      Honestly Wizard101 is gonna be a tough recommendation from me. If keyword if they tie the online services to your console’s membership maybe. But for me I’m gonna say this, if you have to pay for two subscriptions it’s a no but if you just have to pay for your console’s membership and you get a wizard101 membership I could easily recommend it. But that’s just me though.

    Honestly I don't think it'll be THAT bad of a flop if at all. So many people are acting like this is *just* for pre-established players when this is probably meant to draw in a NEW audience more than anything. I'd imagine this is meant more for people who have consoles but either haven't had anything that could properly run wizzy up until this point, or those who don't use anything besides consoles to game.
    I do think the paywalls could be an issue, but depending on how they handle it it might not be so bad. Regardless, I think we'll just have to wait until it finally drops to see how it actually ends up playing out.

      I mean I have an idea on how the devs could work it the subscriptions for consoles if you have your console’s online membership you have a wizard101 membership but you still have to buy crowns for some items in the crown shop what do you think of that idea? Like I said I’m cautiously optimistic about it I liked the game but the pay to play past a certain point was the bad thing about it. So I feel like if the devs go ok if you have your console’s online membership you don’t need to get a membership but you can still buy crowns for stuff in the crown shop do you think that’s a reasonable way of doing it?

    I started playing Wiz in June of 2009,; and up until fall of 22 was playing daily for a majority of my day; until the computer I was using had major issues.
    Bought an Xbox and started playing Elder Scrolls Online and was an avid player for 2 years before cutting down to less than 15 minutes or less.
    Having played both games for countless hours, I can see how Wiz on console could succeed.
    For one, the entire game of Wiz could easily fit on a console system and allow the team of KI to expand each world; don't believe me? Try playing ESO on an Xbox console.
    For another, KI has done several additions to WC and have had players complain of lagging issues. If KI were to do additions to expand areas they would come in the forms of updates.
    Getting into a game on console is not allowed until an update is finished much like the maintenance checks on a computer.
    There are too many people that want the console aspect to fail because they are either too cheap to buy a console or hate video games to accuse them as a reason for violence going on in the world today.

If you have to get a membership for the rest of the worlds on console I’m sorry the game is dead because I can’t recommend paying over $100 a year for a game. The crown shop items sure you can make some items cost real life money but when you have to pay money to get the rest of the worlds I’m sorry I can’t recommend the game. That’s why I’m hoping if you have your consoles membership you got a wizard101 membership but knowing KI it won’t happen.
