Wizard101 is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game created by KingsIsle Entertainment.[1] Players take on the role of students of Wizardry to save the Spiral (that is the set of worlds in which the games is played), and battle a variety of creatures by casting spells using a turn-based combat system similar to collectible card. Players advance in the game by accepting quests to learn new spells, gain equipment, and collect gold.[2] The game holds a rating of "Everyone 10+" from the Entertainment Software Ratings Board for crude humor and mild fantasy violence.[3] Although designed for pre-teens, the game appeals to all ages.[4][5]
At the beginning the player controls a level 1 novice wizard, who is
named by the player using a set of words at the start of the game. That
wizard joins the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, a school of wizardry located in a fictional town called Wizard City.[6] Instead of the traditional character classes,
Wizard101 offers players a choice among seven different "magic schools"
(Fire, Ice, Storm, Myth, Life, Death, and Balance) which will influence
character development and parts of the magical spells (in form of
collectible cards) available to the player in combat.
In Wizard101, the different areas accessible to players are referred
to as "worlds". Upon character creation, only a part of Wizard City (The
Commons, Ravenwood, Unicorn Way, Olde Town, Shopping District, Triton
Avenue, Golem Court, and a short introduction to the world of
Grizzleheim) is opened to access. As the player progresses, more worlds
become available. Availability depends on subscriptions and/or the
purchase of crowns. People who purchase memberships receive special
privileges and gifts.
