The unholy combination of sunk cost fallacy, addiction, nostalgia, and an actual enjoyable game really make it hard to get anywhere too far away from Wiz.
I was one of those free to play kids who couldn't afford membership and found getting into vampire place and others amazing lol bc those required membership but didn't kick you out for some reason But somehow made it to levels 20+ free to play??? I believe around there which was insane killing kraken and those bosses over and over Also loved the Japanese horde arena some people had in their homes... I plan on returning soon and finishing what I started... How long does it take to get end game nowadays???
Get bored of some tedious quest types, leave for a while, watch wizard video randomly one day, intense urge to play grows, have fun for a while, repeat.
I'm so attached to the community its kinda sad to think about. I always worry about my wiz friends like are they getting the help they need?, are they getting new friends?, are they doing fine in life?
thank you for this video i was really wondering why you would still play wizard101 but this really cleared things up for me because it thoroughly explained why you still play wizard101 because i was wondering and now i know so i really get it now thank you so much for this informational educational video very good for the public thank you
I've created my account in 2008 and I keep coming back from time to time. I thought it was just nostalgia (even if it plays a big part) but the reality is I still get enjoyment out of it, which i guess it's the most important reason to play a game, have fun. It's been a few years but I'm back. Just bought my membership, same acc, same characters, but a different adventure. Cannot relate to making friends tho lol. I also like that it's a chill game, you don't have to feel that hurry and anxiety. AND the fact that I LOVE MAGIC xD. Nice finding your channel dude! Keep it up. ;)
For the amount of hours and money I put into this game that’s why 😂 been playing since I was young starting with pirate then wanted to try wizard and didn’t like the combat at first but with wizard they kept getting constant updates. Now as a teenager I come back when a new world drops and take a break afterwards.
I started playing 2008 and loved this game. I played until about 2015 then out of frustration I took a break because I played mostly as a single player and was unable to beat some of the big bosses and could not find help because the world was so bare of players. Just recently I just needed something that was fun and makes me feel good. What a big surprise to all the changes that have been made and worlds added. So I am back addicted to play. I'm so happy to see lots of players and there are players that actually help so I've been able to progress my old characters who have waited for me to return. I am now working on a new character.
I love this game to bits, have met amazing friends that I basically grew up with thanks to this game, and have had emotional attachment to this game I got a bit bored of “meta” questing using things like death, so I got a whole new account with only life, ice, balance, and a myth wizard to solo quest as much of the game as I can on for a new experience and test my skills
I feel like most of us who are still part of this community are only here for nostalgia. I put ungodly amounts of hours (probably over 10,000) into this game and it’s special to me. But i haven’t spent any money on the game in years because i don’t respect kingsisle as a company or their business model. I think they’re very scammy and for years have been pushing out low quality content, instead choosing to put their resources into bundles, packs and other money-laundering schemes.
Seeing as how I have literally played this game every single year of my life since I was 6 years old and that this game has had a profound impact on my personality and world view, I find it pretty difficult to quit no matter how much the devs ruin the game. 😂
Personally, I still play because for 12 years, without breaks, I haven't finished the game still. The reason is that I can't really afford lots o' memberships, and absolutely no crowns at all. So, yup, that's my story.
Well, I’m looking forward to more content in general… Even if I have one Wizard in Azteca… And none of my other six Wizards have reached that point yet… And most are in Mooshu… And one is in Marleybone. If I could just beat all current worlds and then some as all my seven Wizards, I could at least be glad I got Azteca over with for good.
I remember being like 6 in 2012 but from 2010 to 2013 you'd see it on all the kids channels all the time and I knew it was a game but didn't know what it really was (P.S I also remember it being associated with Wizards of the Waverly place and Selena Gomez)
Me and you have been playing fir this same time thus video kinda scary cause we took our breaks at the same time and I always say I find myself coming back
obviously, i stay in the hopes they will bring back the selena gomez quest, duh (joking, but in all seriousness, i just like it. im not very good at playing games in general, but wiz hits the spot and the storylines are p enjoyable ^^)
Why you still play? the reason we all play cause is awesome period, we btch and complaint but at the end of the day we all meet in the spiral, but they need to update all them packs to the current level though like seriously is not that hard to update packs!

BASED COMMENT, also I love how you brought actual economic principles into this.

@@animalicon3535 depends how many hours you put into the game and how efficient you are with questing.

I played this game my entire childhood. Starting in 2008. The amount of nostalgia makes this an incredible comfort game
Definitely Nostalgia holds us in our presence in Wizard101

I completely agree with everything you say, we appreciate you.

Do you not have a job?

We all know it's just because of Kaiser Noah.

What hold me to this Is single I have never reached end game and I will not stop and till the end is beaten
Me and you have been playing fir this same time thus video kinda scary cause we took our breaks at the same time and I always say I find myself coming back
twinsies
My reason: I'm a Ravenwood student irl
I really wanna play this game again but my laptop broke 😭. So I'm currently saving up so i can afford a pc gaming setup.
Its not even nostalgia for me tbh its just still fun no games are like it imo
obviously, i stay in the hopes they will bring back the selena gomez quest, duh (joking, but in all seriousness, i just like it. im not very good at playing games in general, but wiz hits the spot and the storylines are p enjoyable ^^)
So, since I’ve only been playing for a year and half, I should get out while I can? 😛
hAHA nO
i used to love this game but i couldnt continue since you had to pay
I still play because Im still in dragonspyre
Does anyone know if you can get sigil ring drops form morganthe if you are max?
Why you still play? the reason we all play cause is awesome period, we btch and complaint but at the end of the day we all meet in the spiral, but they need to update all them packs to the current level though like seriously is not that hard to update packs!
There’s not really a other game like it tbh.
