    I need to vent out some stuff related to this game:
    I used to play the game religiously back in the day and have more than 2k hours in it sank on it. The game is fun at the start and it used to be fun until you noticed how predatory the microtransactions are. Apart from being a Pay-2-play model with a small f2p section, the game has microtransactions in almost every corner. You can play the game without spending a single dime but once you hit the endgame you start to notice the need to spend an extra 10$ in order to get gear (mostly wands) through glorified loot boxes. You can feel this even worst if you are attempting to PVP. Also, the inclusion of spells via their pack system (loot boxes) is quite unfair due to them becoming exclusive through packs for a limited amount of time. Usually, they get released to the after a while to get them via crafting or drops but even that can take months for the dev to make them available. You think you would get an equal footing as everyone for paying a membership like most MMOs but once you learn how the endgame really works it's really sad to know that if you want to stay relevant to the PVP meta and PVE you need to spend on those microtransactions. And do not get me started with the fact that they lock the vital role of tanking behind a loot box system, and before some tell me that's what ice wizards are for, don't lie to yourself because you know well that you have to whale in order to get one of the only Tanking gear in the game in order to fulfill that *cough* Jade.
    Speaking of endgame you'd think the game would have multiple mayor updates to increase the content for players that have spent money on subscriptions but all you get a minors updates with some of the content hidden behind extra paywalls (gauntlets/house dungeons) and then later on at the end of the year you get Big mayor update which raises the level cap and continues the story.
    At this point the only reason the game is still afloat is due to the massive amount of whalers in the game that spend around 100$ on packs every time a new pack gets released.
    I love this game and it has been a big part of my childhood but if this keeps up i don't think the game will survive another decade.
    Tl;dr:
    Fun game, lots of microtransactions that affect endgame, lacks of updates for a P2P game.
    Keep the good content going man!

      You can start playing the game entirely for free after doing daily trivia for 80 days on 3 accounts (and continuing to do so afterwards, of course). It’s a lot of work, but it’s definitely possible. In fact, I do it myself and yeah, it’s great. If you want, you can even have more accounts to sink crowns into packs. Or you could get into the empower trading economy, which allows you to buy packs with empower trading cards. They’re expensive on the bazaar, but once you get to Grizzleheim it’s pretty easy to farm for gold. Not to mention you can also buy membership cards with empowers. To get into empower trading, I suggest looking into Gamma’s Trading Post. It’s a wonderful Discord server that really makes it easy to get started.

      DragonMaddness yeah it seems weird, but it’s true, waterworks is basically the best for that whole entire stretch. there are sets of crafted gear from zafaria to azteca that are somewhat decent, but don’t give universal resist. I highly recommend the crafted boots, though, as they give a lot of crit block, especially the ones in Azteca. Hades gear can be worth it, but it’s at level 90. Just stick with waterworks gear, get the crafted boots, and if you really wanna swap out with something else, feel free to do so.

    • @BrightNeonBrilliancy

      I still play Wiz101, but man do i agree with this. I hate that there is literally years between any significant new content, yet there is a new pack or bundle or mount every other week. And the fact that all the recent spells are behind paywalls- at least until they become craftable over a year later- is silly to me. Don't even get me STARTED on spellements, which can practically only be obtained via pack opening, which is disgusting now that it's not just spell upgrades, but ACTUAL spells themselves. Want a 4 pip aoe for death? Just open god knows how many packs to get 35 spellements when you're not even guarenteed ONE per pack. I often get 0. And that's just the weakest form of the spell.
      But with all of its flaws, I still play the game. Despite all of my complaints, I still play the game. Why? I'm not even sure. Nostalgia maybe? Because I don't want all the money I've poured into it to be wasted? Because it's the only card based MMO out there quite like this? Part of me wishes the community would stop playing for a short while so KI would not take us for granted and treat us and the game better, or perhaps there be a major competitor. I don't know. But the microtransactions are for sure out of hand, especially in contrast to the lack of new content.

    2010 to 2013 on this game was the best. All the memories with people I met on there were what made it special for me, I had a friend in real life that showed me Wizard101, and I was addicted ever since I would wake up early just to play and lvl up and mess around in the commons talking with people and their immature antics. But after awhile people stopped logging on and I guess most of us grew up so I quit wizard101 in 2014
    Though I’ve come back this year playing off and on as a storm wizard anyway, this game was a big part of my childhood, got me through 3 horrible years of my life, and one of the only things that gave me comfort.

    Maaaaan, I used to love this game. I made multiple accounts and had grinded hours upon hours for gear and titles.
    I tried to return recently, but the past few years Kingisle had experimented with pay to win mechanics and now the game is flooded with cash-grabby features. Pvp is next to impossible unless you plan on spending a TON of money.
    Packs aren't worth it anymore, since the RNG is absolutely horrendous. Leveling gets incredibly frustrating after reaching 50, and if you plan on playing solo... good luck.
    I think my biggest complaint with this game is the fact that despite how much money they leeched off of the playerbase for years, the character models are still outdated.

    they would say "if you give me X i'll show you how to get here"
    and then the other player would send my sister the thing, and my sister would block their account and disappear. that way NO ONE ELSE would be able to do the same grift.

    This video hit me super hard. I played the original version of Wizard101 back in like 2009-2010 when I was little with my friends. I got to around level 60 on a Life wizard (the healer class being the hardest because they had the least amount of attack spells). I remember loving the game's story a lot and hating that progression for it is locked behind a paywall because my family wasn't really keen on games like this with monthly subscriptions (my older brother had sunk a lot into WoW). I ended up dropping it because of said monthly payment and also my time was being taken up a lot more by school and friends.
    Years later, as in like, 2019, I redownloaded it and played again to find everything updated and different. Rediscovery was a huge part of why I loved it the second time. A sale on the membership was another reason. I remember going on the website and the site explaining that membership prices were down because they were going out of business slowly, but I have no clue if that's true currently. Wizard101 is the game that got me to Affiliate on Twitch, and I will forever be grateful for the place it holds in my childhood heart, but it no longer holds my interest as much as it did. The nostalgia the game brought me was welcomed and appreciated yet did not last as long as I wanted it to. It also sucks massively that a lot of the cooler cosmetics and items like houses, furniture, pets, etc. are all only accessible via Crown purchases. (That didn't stop younger me from failing to spend my Hanukkah money on it, though!)
    Thanks for making this video! It was wonderful to watch and allowed me to relive W101's nostalgic aspect again.

    They should replace school with this game. I grew up on it and it helped me socialize with people, learn mathematical concepts (critical, accuracy percentages, and more), learn how to organize things, navigate, plan things, etc. It was overall such a good game for cognitive development. I freaking miss it now :(

    When I was little and had no computer I used to go into my dad's room and me and my sister each had a wizard and we would play it on the bed next to my dad. They are some of my fondest memories.

    Someone: Wizards do not ware witches hats.
    *Gandalf enters the room*
    Somebody: Ok......Apparently they do
    Gandalf wares a hat, that looks like a witches.

    I played this when I was little and recently picked it up like 10 years later just to see (mostly cuz of quarantine) and I've actually been playing for like a month now and enjoying it

    This game brings so many memories back lmao. I used to keep redoing the quiz just to get the school I wanted and I kept playing the beginning part of the game because I was too broke to go forward in the game.
