Is Wizard 101 still a thing anybody plays?
Brickitect:
I loved W101, and I still have my high level account.
Master Matthew²:
Wizard 101 was the embodiment of what started killing off good games and replacing them with pay to win bullstuff.
forget anything like Wizard 101, and any mindless bullstuff game that is "Free to play"

roblox pioneered it to be honest. as a user since 2009, i can safely say that after the 2012 ui change john shedletsky piloted it into certain doom and then left for all the new guys and representatives to make decisions.

mmos with subscriptions were around far longer than wizard 101 or are you referring to something else
ChexGuy331:
you know what this game does that almost no other MMO does
it lets you loving choose any past piece of equipment to use for appearance while keeping the stats of whatever you actually have equipped
that stuff actually blew my mind when I tried this game, but then it told me to pay money to progress past a certain point when I only gave the game a shot for free points on some site I don't even remember the name of so I said fuuuuuuuuck that noise
actually kind of liked some of the music and the card-based battle system was sort of interesting, but the way it kind of just pulls you into a battle when you walk past one was annoying as stuff
I was expecting straight-up shovelware since it's marketed for kids, but there ended up being quite a few smart things about the game that I was legitimately impressed by.
I mean, I still think it's not very good overall, but if it makes money...
