Wizard101 and Pirate101 aren't free because....?

Hi there,

There's always questions floating around the spiral and I decided to pick one that I've seen a lot lately. Why aren't the games Wizard101 & Pirate101 free? We have to remember they are free-to-play which means free to download and play a bit. This is awesome because you get to try it out before you even have to pay for it. If you've ever bought video games, you can look at it on the internet but you can't really try it out yourself until you buy it. Sometimes after someone buys a video game (anything actually), sometimes they don't like it and that means they have to return it or deal with it. With the Kingsisle games, you get to try it out before you buy it; I'm sure everyone loves the games once they try it out because that's why this certain question is floating around because they are very nice games. I am glad they aren't free! If they were free... well they wouldn't even last a minute because they have to pay bills (I'm pretty sure the electricity bill is HIGH), they have to buy computers/hardware, all employees have to be payed so they can continue to help and improve the games. Its going to be like this for the rest of our lives because nothing will be free... well sometimes there are free things but not always! We want Kingsisle to continue many years.. decades... centuries? Millenniums? LOL Well however long it lasts... which I'm sure will last quite sometime... I'm sure one day everyone will realize why we had to pay in the first place.

Will Wizard101 Continue releasing new worlds?

Hello Wizards!

Recently there's been questions about Wizard101's new main world and once the level cap goes up it'll be level 100! That's quite a lot of levels, and we have a lot of worlds we've had so far. We've had a lot of new pets, spells, mounts and much more since the beginning of the game. I believe Kingsisle will still release many more main worlds with a lot of levels. Why do I think that? Well.. W101 is still releasing new commercials. Kingsisle is a very successful game company and they will continue to make new content/worlds for the game as long as we play. I've seen this many times in the past few years. I can't wait to see what W101 has to offer us with the next world though. They have been taking their time which is great! I'm waiting for some new gear. I can't speak for Kingsisle but if they stop releasing new worlds for Wizard101 it'll be the biggest mistake they could make, the same with Pirate101. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that Kingsisle makes a lot of money and that can help with all of their other games they have released or plan to release... There's really a lot of reasons I believe Wizard101 will continue and I can't name all of them since this post would go on forever and you'd probably get tired of reading, but I have a few more reasons. When J Todd Coleman resigned the end of January I noticed everyone started to worry a bit more about the future worlds and if the level 90-100 world would be the last one. I don't think so at all! Lets bring Pirate101 into this. Recently P101 released two new worlds and the level cap raised from 50-65. If they keep doing that every 6 months with 15 levels and two new worlds in a matter of a year from now the level cap will be level 90. Pirate101 hasn't been here long and it has a 101 after it also. There's no way it'll end that quick with all of the work they put into the game. I believe the same thing with Wizard101, 5 years just to end the game? I don't think so. This game has over 30 million players alone! There's no way they'll end the content with that many players. I'm only a Pirate101 Fansite owner and I'm not speaking for Kingsisle, but if you ask me.. I know this game will continue for many more years. If I'm wrong and they do end the game I'll be one upset wizard and I'm sure 30 million other wizards will be upset also. Do you think the game will end this year? Or do you think it'll continue? Comment below I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. Thanks for reading!

I've been here four years!

Today's not only a US holiday, its also a day marking four years since I created my Wizard101 account! If you're an American you're probably wondering why in the spiral I created a wizard account on this date. Well.. It was a rainy day on the Fourth of July four years ago and I didn't know if my family and I were going to be able to shoot fireworks that day. So I went inside and turned the channel right to Cartoon Network. I was watching boring shows and well you probably heard this many times but at the time I was looking for a fun video game to play.. All of a sudden this EPIC Wizard101 commercial was on and usually I turn the channel if there's a commercial, that time I didn't. A few seconds after seeing that commercial I ran to the computer and created an account. I ran because I didn't want to forget the website address LOL. After that the rest is history. I created my ice wizard because I love Winter (I thought Frost Giant was the strongest spell that game would ever have)! I created a wizard of each school on two accounts and leveled them to 60. I was a strong wizard then but it started going downhill because Kingsisle was releasing worlds every few seconds until this year. They stopped releasing them so fast so I'm slowly becoming a wizard again with Autumn Dreamwalker! Now, you know I play Pirate101, THE BEST GAME EVER, and I have so much fun with that game. I never get tired of the game, I'm so happy that Kingsisle created a game with the best graphics, storyline, everything. I think Pirate101 might be Kingsisle's biggest accomplishment. :D So before I ramble all of you out of here, I would really like to thank Kingsisle, and everyone reading for the best four years ever! Here's to hopefully four more years? I really can't wait until my 5th year here. That's going to be huge. Half a decade! Wow. :D Okay I'll see ya around the Spiral. I just wanted to make this short post before I was too busy and couldn't. You know, the.... uh.... yeah? x stops typing x
