Wizard101 First Impressions "Still Worth Playing?"

- Wizard101 is a free to play, turn based fantasy MMORPG released in 2008 and available on PC, I decided to cover this game purely due to the amount of requests I get to play it, I never played it when I was younger but I'm aware that a lot of people have nostalgia for it, I didn't get to check out the player housing or PVP in this video because I'm not a huge fan of turn based games so didn't play it for that long.
Is Wizard101 a game worth playing? Leave A Comment Below!

In this video I try out an old turn based MMORPG called Wizard101 at the request of my viewers, the art style of this game gave me a lot of nostalgia for other older games that I used to love, I thought the game has a decent narrative and it seems like a solid MMO for kids but it's not the kinda game I'd play myself
Could Wizard on PC be a good alternative MMO to games such as Hearthstone or Runescape? leave your thoughts on this game in the comments below

Wizard101 First Impressions "Is It Worth Playing?"
• Wizard101 First Impres... - Hry
"Wizard 101..." *giggles* "is free to play" *dies of laughter*
+Brohann Sebastian Bach ikr XD it's cheaper in the long run just to buy crowns and unlock areas
It's free to play now all u got to do is watch adds
+Fussions You can also do trivia games online (you can literally use google) to earn crowns
But you need around 150k crowns to unlock the whole game. If you get 100 each day, that's 1500 days worth. I don't think anybody is going to spend five years in this game earning crowns
IKR, these people are so delusional lol. How can you expect someone to be watching videos 24/7 in order to unlock zones ONE BY ONE in this fucking game. No thanks lol.
I like how he picked Blaze as the name LOL
+BlazeLifehammer Holy shiza your the real Blaze.
+BlazeLifehammer its THE MAN HERE
love your vids man
+BlazeLifehammer oh,i didnt expect you to be here Kappa
+BlazeLifehammer LMAO you watch wow vids? i have gained so much more respect for you xD
he sensed the awesomness behind the name
Wizard101 actually has a shit ton of content.
Yes I’d you buy the pass
I played this when i was 8 in 2008.. Got me into MMOs 100%
same
Same. I have a lot of memories in this game, like how you could actually curse if you were smart. FUn duCK :^)
I think you're on the wrong channel then, buddy.
10/10 in my opinion the beginning combat does get boring if he played it for a bit longer he would have gotten to the good part of it I played wizard101 recently and overall still a wonderful game I do not care about graphics that just means esier to run and less space used on my computer
I can't remember when I first downloaded the game, but I think it was 7, 8 or 9.
i feel like we aare slowly getting closer to tthe Club Penguin ep that we all want
LOL.
he should definetley make the club peguin video and get himself ban at the end by telling someone "fuck off m8 im trying to fap here!"
+zwolf2062 Lmfao, habbo hotel hahahaha
+Robbie Morris (Dank Hill) oh my god no
I would watch the shit out of a club penguin first impressions video
SO many hours I sunk into this game when I was younger... I still play it to this day with my sister from time to time, but it's not the same.
This music triggers my memories. Late nights farming darkmoor and being tired in school.
Only a true player would get that one
What? This reminds me more of farming malistaire back in 2010-2011 m8.
Zer0 / That was fun, but it wasn't as intense and heart-touching
#blew500onthegameeversinceistartedin2009andnowalvl103firewithgodgearsoworthitbuthaventplayedinhalfayear
+ClashWithCash What, you say that like darkmoor is an old dungeon xD don't you have to be lvl 100 to get there and the lvl cap is only 120 right now? lol
Do I smell a future Toon Town Episode?
+Hellscream xD
+Hellscream Toon Town was shut down years ago.
+mrfool21 :( it was fun while it lasted
+mrfool21 They rebooted it. It's called Toontown Rewritten
+michael hwang ToonTown Rewritten boi
The feels were too strong in this episode. So much nostalgia
My... Child... Hood.....
Ikr
this video hit meh in teh child hood feels
Why? Why can't it be popular again?
maybe because the graphics and gameplay are a bit outdated to the games we have now
+TheNarwhales and it is for 12 year olds
I have a level 95 death wizard and the game is not free to play its membership based, after level 10 you need membership to get to new worlds
+Gurk Meister Yeah it's really shitty tbh.
Although when I was younger I was gullible and asked my parents for a membership.
Wizard101 is "free to play." Yea, right. The style requires you to spend money to progress to the new worlds, otherwise you're basically stuck. It's almost like WoW's play for free until level 20 thing. Yea, it's free to play, but only for HALF of the first world. Everything else you basically need a subscription or constantly paying money for the cash shop currency. Fun game though, if you wanna pay a subscription.
Similar to Runescape. It was F2P to a degree but became P2P if you really wanted to get far.
It's worth the subscription tho
Its not fucking free what did you expect its called "Free to play" Not fucking free dumb shit.
It's worth it
do you know if twp people can login in the same time if you have the family membership
This was the shit back when I was a kid
+Cuddly Rock 3rd grade when this game came out
This game gets a lot more harder when you get to higher level world s.You will have to strategize your moves.
wobbyking Mc Especially if you're playing storm...
I agree. I had a level 47 life wizard, and battles were intense. They lasted at least 5 minutes even with regular mobs.
Honestly W101 sucks at the beginning. It starts to get good when you start doing dungeons and when you get more spells.
I disagree partly. I enjoy Wizard City and dislike the rest of the Spiral.
I just canceled my sub to wow to go and play Wizard101.
I've played it on and off for years and it's def. worth it. You can afford to take a break. You don't have to fear getting left wayyy behind.
lol I'm addicted to wow but I made my first death wizard in 2010 and I have so many memories of that game that it takes up 1/5 of my life. the nostalgia watching this video made my heart pound. miss those times
@Must Rästas Ice has some unique defensive options, especially at lower levels. In end-game pvp it's less of a tank and more of a fuller-bodied AoE DPS/Utility but it still works well enough as a tank against AI, even in the end game. It's power just doesn't come from offense like storm or fire, it's more of a tank that focuses on special effects, debuffs, and so on. For example, Ice is the only school I know of that has a low-cost stun card that just stuns. Most of the time if a class gets a stun its an add-on effect after an attack from a very powerful card, ice has a card at higher levels that you can just cast for 1 or 2 pips that can stun an entire group of enemies for about a round or two. In pvp that is an amazing defensive option, it throws people off their rhythm entirely.
Personally I usually go for a minor in Divination when making a Thaumaturge. The Storm spells (highest base dmg in the game) help make up for my lack of damage despite their lower chance of success, and my ice spells are (for lack of a better word) cool.
that sad moment when your childhood dream gets crushed because wiz101 is a pay to win
omg i used to play wizard101 when i was little, been so long
Same so long ago
+fangzfangz same, makes me feel old, even though I'm only 17.
MY CHILDHOOD
I have SO MUCH nostalgia for this. I played it until I discovered WoW and I miss this game so much. This video literally made me cry! This game is so good as you progress through. It pains me to not play it anymore... I would if it wasn't still sub-based like WoW.
+Hannah D'laine lmao what
now time for pirate 101
indeed
+XSuperSkillzX pirate101 last got a update 2 years ago btw, it's a dead game
+DoomCorrupted It's better than this broken ass game xD
+Captain Capsize thatz true, its bit more better then wizard 101
This game was the shit back then. They really need a graphics update tho then I might go back to playing it again
the graphics get amazing in the other world's
Have you seen Khrysalis and Polaris? The jagged edges are rounded out and the models and detail are much more interesting, while maintaining the same charm that the game always had.
Bet you play cod and watchdogs
Bro I remember this one world (forgot the name, been ages since I played this) and it had sharks for AI and shit, but damn that world had ALOT OF detail.
Marquis Mcfall Celestia? That was from 2010 mate, Polaris (newest world) is extremely good.
I remember starting this game in 2009 when the lvl cap was 50. I made so many memories and stopped playing in 2015. The friends I made in this game growing up were amazing and I'm still friends with many of them. This game started mmo's for me. I miss playing this game honestly but it's so dead now. I remember so many realms would be totally full. Now it's hard to find a lot of people. One thing about realms was I remember realm wuu in the dye shop was always a fun time.
"I feel like I've played enough to have formed an opinion." No, not really. The first part of the game is repetitive, sure, but this is exactly why you didn't play long enough. With Wizard101, first impressions aren't exactly the telling point of whether the game is good or not. Whether this is a review or just a first impression, you don't get the full game experience until later. When you're just starting out in the game, things are more focused on teaching you the basics. The entire first 10-13 levels are focused on helping you get good.
Hang Out with Malorn u are very right and I used to spend all my money on the game but sadly I still love it and I wish I could play again
Sorry for the late response. Just saw this here. :P Yeah, it's a pretty fun game. It's gotten better lately to be honest.
I used to love Wizard so much, played for 3 years. Tons of fun, not enough depth to keep people over the age of 16 very involved.
I started playing in my 20s. :P Loved it!
Same I quit because Idk. might get on it right now
Im 16 right now and I started re playing it after 5 years (i created a new account if course). Its still fun and im glad it hasnt died.
+The purple penguin that was an old comment haha
i played it a lil at 16 when my friend was kind enough ot gift me it
Oh my god, I remember when this game wasn't pay to win, my childhood was ruined when it did, damn it.
Toriel Dreemurr Me too! I would play wizard101 again if it was free2play..
Hasn't wizard101 always been pay to win tho
Izy how is it pay to win?
So many memories, I swear Nostalgia is the best emotion you could have... amazing ughhh time to download it again
I love this channel, so much variety and you always tend to your fans correctly.
And now I know you like anime, better reason to love this channel.
didn't realize the nostalgia this would bring back lmfao
you watch fairy tail!!!!
+Skibbehify Pretty much every night recently
+TheLazyPeon you are even more awesome!
+TheLazyPeon how about you try conquer online? its old grindy but fun :D
+mrsasakio oh lord i forgot about that, that game took days of my childhood away
+mrsasakio Most p2p game in existence, avoid at all costs. They have no limit on how many Dragonballs you can buy each month IIRC, there are whole guilds where members each spend $1k USD a month on Dragonballs to upgrade all of their gear to ungodly levels, then one shot everyone in PVP. It is impossible to beat these guilds legitly without spending thousands on Dragonballs yourself.
YEAH i love those first impression videos!
OMG the Childhood memories of playing this late at night on the weekends with my friends from school! I think I'm gonna make my friend Download it again buy a month long membership and play it with me again. xD
Any Storm Wizards out there!?
this made me cry so many memories.
WOAH! 10k more subs till hitting 200k subs! Grats man you are close
+Black “cyrusthevirus” Hand Thanks dude :)
+TheLazyPeon Could you please do a first impressions video on Toontown Rewritten, it is a very fun game.
+TheLazyPeon can you please play club penguin? I really need to know your first impressions on it.
TheLazyPeon No problem man just keep up the great vids!
shut up
i used to play this game in elementary and middle school, i played it when it first came out and i'll always love that music!
Peon your almost 200,000 SUBS CONGRATS also legend of bear oh my god
can u play pirate101 next
***** word
+JR Hale I remember beating Malister as the the level 50 Cap in Dragonspyre so fun
+JR Hale why would he have played further in if u have not for gotten u have to pay to go past a certain point
+JR Hale true
***** XD yea
I love how he ignored all his alerts! XD
This was literally my first pc game, thank you for bringing me back
This was a great review. I love this game so much, still playing it after 8 years. ☺️
I have a fond memory of this game and its called paying to continue a story.
Thats the reason i stopped playing it. My dad never let me pay for games when i was little so that was one of the saddest moments of my life when i found out i have to pay to play.
+Fluffo De Raccoon me too i was disappointed
+Fluffo De Raccoon free to play* pay to progress.
mah heart was broken when i couldnt continued
When I used to play that game I named every character Morgan Freeman...and when people asked for help I would say "Sure,sonny". Good times until the game was basically P2P...I only had one quest to do and that quest required me to fork them over some money (Which I did and regret).Not worth it,get's boring after awhile.
It is boring but other activities keep you interested like pvp
aaah. the memories... i remember playing this game with my sister when i was younger on our potato 5 dollar computers... good times...
You are awesome!!!!! Spyro for life!!!!! One of my most memorable and loved games from when I was younger.
Why'd I stop playing this I miss it lol
+Derpy OTTER Because to continue at all you have to pay
i'm re-downloading this rn lmao
Almost at 200k bro, All aboard the Hype Train!
see you do a first look at wizard101 makes me to go and play it for old memories!
So uhhh when are you gonna play club penguin
Never
+Ashwath Toontown This game is for 8 yeR olds so he can play CP i hope
*****
WTF? who told u wizard was 13+ it's all ages dude, it would have blood like every mmo that was 13+ if this was 13+
*****
But wizard101 is better than CP since all u can do in CP is just waddle around and pay money to buy trendy clothes, smh
*****
Some people under 13 have their own emails and they just type that in instead of their parents'
Man I remember this was the only game I played for ages after LEGo Universe shut down. Anyone remember that game?
+Sevrin Should of been playing runescape bro
I have too say the art style of this game reminded me as well from the PS1 games man i miss them so much Crash, SPyro even Final Fantasy VII. Kepp on with the good work Peon we are an amazing youtuber.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS GAME!!! This game was seriously my childhood and the reason I got into pc gaming.... Not joking. This brought back so many memories and that game is actually really fun when you are young. I was I fire wizard too!
You actually did a real review on this game...
You should really come back to Wizard 101
PLEASE CONTINUE THIS SERIOUS I'VE NEVER LAUGHED SO HARD IN MY LIFE
OMG yes he played w101 !! I still have this game on my computer and still play it from time to time for friends and just for a bit of memory's ! It's what got me into wow and I have been playing his game since their 'vanilla' version (Month after release / 7ish years) this was my first online game (unless if you count attempting to type as a small 3 year old on EQ) TYSM THIS VIDEO MADE MY DAY!
Also the games player housing is absolutely amazing ! Something I'd actually kinda like to see done in wow but different ))
shit man the community back then was so good, now its so desolate in every realm. I remember chat logs popping up back to back. it seems like after 2013 everyone just left.. understandable that was the year everyone left something.. like my childhood.
『Accelerating Fiction』 "No one left..." *Dies of laughter* Bruh there's like only one constantly full server now, compared to the constant 4 like 3 years ago. I remember the first 4 or 5 were always full, and then the rest of the first page was crowded, and then the second page was normal. The game is more dead than my CZcams channel.
what is your name XD
i played the beta back in 2008 right before they released they put in the crowns system, when they put it in i was confused at first but when the game launched i was sad to see you had to pay for them :(
and no. it is not free to play lol
JUMPUHHHH. Nice videos man, keep it comming.
This was the second MMO I ever got heavily into. The first being WoW.
I've got so many great memories with this game.
this game is fucking lit
Peon, I played this when I was 6 lol
same here
+chocky // me to
Really enjoying your content bro.. keep it up :)
I am honestly surprised that there are still people playing this game. I remember playing it when I was younger and it sparked my interest in the MMO genre. Great video by the way!
ya it's getting lots of revenue fir the company that they invested into another game and mobile
This game is about as free to play as WoW
Send him khrysalis gameplay clips.
I remember vanilla W101, when being level 50 with the Malistaire robe for your school, with your school pet made you cool. Oh, and having one of those weapons with cool effects from Dragonspyre, stitched onto (transmogged) the level 50 crowns weapon. Also having a dragon mount from the crowns shop. I guess you could say I'm a W101 veteran :P. Looking back at W101 always fills me with nostalgia :)
Kobz samme bruh. I quit for an actual while, but now, it's past dat, m8. now, it about the malistaire and exalted gear
btw, congrats on 190k subs, hope to see the 200k soon!
BOY GO TO WIZARD CITY THERE IS MANA EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you read the tooltips on the right you'd know how to play. xD
Good job man! - Please make more videos about Black Desert
Man, this brings back memories. I use to play this before the first expansion of the game! It was so much fun and it tested my mind at the same time. The only problem I had was that you had to sink money to complete the first world of the game. I did it anyways and I was glad I did. I stopped playing because of lack of money but I am thinking of returning now with a fresh character.
you should once they make the new world it will be lit. it is just having a difficulty at the moment
+TheNextGenNationI〈 well he has a lot to catch up to anyways until the next world xD
Peon, are you still playing WoW ? I know that you are not going to do many videos about it because you've done a lot and you don't think the game is interesting but i was just curious.
+Geo Ka Not at the moment, I'm gonna check out the pvp on legion alpha soon though
+TheLazyPeon do runescape please u can use my account it will be easier to review
+joey tice he allready did runescape
+xmar5 send link please I'm lazy
+joey tice im on mobile so i cant really find the link. just type lazy peon runescape in the search bar
I played it before. to bad you have to pay to go to the next area or something.
This brings me back. I'm 15 but I will still play it for nostalgic purposes. I really need to play more if this
some of my very first internet friends were made through this game :) it's great for someone who hasn't played/may be intimidated by complex MMOs. easy to play and easy to follow. at higher levels it becomes a lot more strategy. newer areas ( > lv50 i'd say) are prettier, more detailed, and the textures are nicer. while i can't see myself going back anytime soon, w101 was a large part of my life as a teenager and i have a lot of good memories from it
Star Trek Online PLS! Make it happen!
As unlikely as it may seem, this game offered (past tense) some of the most fun and strategic PvP I've ever enjoyed in a video game to date. This is coming from a hardcore gamer who's been through countless FPS games (CoD, CS, thousands of hours into Halo, etc.), strategy games (Starcraft, XCOM, etc.), and various MMOs (too damn many T_T). From what I've heard however, the PvP was ruined by some new crit' system they implemented :/
It's a real shame, because I remember spending all my time as a little kid in the arena and testing out new decks/tactics xD
Y'know, maybe it's just nostalgia talking haha... Fuck, I might try this game out again actually.
you should man. I truly believe that once the new world comes out kingisle will fix this and make it lit again. "The will of fire still burns"(Naruto :P)
TheNextGenNationI〈 Ever see Tokyo Ghoul dude?
Silent Enigma no but i will check it out. :)
TheNextGenNationI〈 It's pretty damn good man
Silent Enigma Alright when ever i get the chance i will check it out for sure. Believe it! :P
Yo Peon I'd be super down for a series with you playing really old, nostalgic games.
10:57 "Malorn Assthorn?" Jokes aside, I really super love your videos Peon
+Cass Merewether Btw, there was a quest with Dorothy, Tin Man, Mr. Toto and you got Ruby Slippers.
XD the characters get weirder as you go along, you only have 110 levels to complete XD. Its actually not free, you have to play.
This is the best game to play when high. Just saying
+Craig Johnson Holy fucking shit, how have I never thought of this??
+Silent Enigma This is private game you have to spend money for level.(100 storm,100 death,84 life)
+Andree Not sure what you're trying to say, but I've played it for quite a few years already lol.
+Silent Enigma 😊😄
Man all the memories are flowing back to me
I was 5 when I first played this game (at release) and I remember loving it and this video brought back tons of memories from it
It was my second mmorpg with WoW being my first . I would hop on my dads computer while he would walk away and lead the team in dps in battlegrounds (especially warding gulch) on his b-elf rogue and that inspired me to make a b-elf rogue as well
it aint free to play mate...
This game is only good at high lvl
yep >.>
Play tibia please! :) Keep up the good work I love your videos and have watched your first impressions like 6 times!
I'd like to request you looking into "Champions Online".
It is quite old as well and even though I don't play it much anymore, I still like to check in to it every now and then for some superhero fun.
Maybe if someone like you gives it a bump, it'll be a little more popular again.
This game used to be good trust me WAAAAYYYY better
Essentially after lvl 10 everything costs money
Adore My Hatred Thank you!
+Aɖօʀɛ Mʏ Hѧţʀɛɖ membership bruh
Attractive ? *Starts laughing*
i know its an old post but! lol I yelled he does not have MANA before you start that battle! Still playing sometimes! GJ.
Hi Peon,
Been following your videos for quite a while now,been laughing a lot with them too-you might try to play"perfect world international"-the game is quite old,but I remember spending hours in it some years ago.
Greetings :)
how can anyone play this this is the worst thing ive seen
its the nostalgic feel from when you played it as a kid "if you did" I now look at it as wow I really used to like this and to many peoples childhoods "as seen in the comments" it will always hold a place in our hearts as a fun game from childhood
WOOOOOOOW ya played my favorite childhood game!
All the youtube drama going on at the moment really makes me appreciate lazypeon. Just good old plain fun, original harmless content. I love watching your shit dude :)
When I heard that music and Ambrose say 'Aha!' I nostalgad so much I might have to start this again
hey am new to your channel i play this game allot this game is very fun its probably the best game i have ever played
Plz do more of this series
I'm not sure if you've heard this already, but mana is normally gathered in non-combat areas such as The Commons or Olde Town. EVERY main area like the first one you encounter in each world (ie. Grizzleheim) has mana. Later on, gear also gives you more mana.
Wow this was probably my first MMO, I think I played it back in 2009. I remember getting excited about all the shiny spells, and the cool effects. This game was probably what got me into gaming! I finished the game as a lv 50 firemage, and I saved some of the cool things I had like the Katana wands that I really liked! I might try out the new content in this game again, if I have the time!
