In this age of growing online socialization, it's a little surprising how so few MMORPGs offer the single most important social feature: housing. Perhaps it's because games have traditionally been about competition so the focus has been mostly on combat and the systems that support it.
For games like Wizard 101 though, with a target audience that's more interested in the social aspect of online games--in other words, playing with their friends and showing off stuff they've accomplished or acquired--it only makes sense that building and decorating homes is a big part of the experience. Even so, housing was just introduced in Wizard 101 not too long ago, and it's the first of the tweencentric MMOs to do so.
Recently Skewed and Reviewed got to speak with KingsIsle about Wizard 101 and what is to come for the game.
KingsIsle Entertainment and gamigo are pleased to announce the start of Wizard101’s European services transfer from Gameforge. Starting today, Wizards across the pond will be able to experience new magical updates at a much faster rate to ultimately sync up closer with their North American counterparts.
KingsIsle Entertainment and gamigo are pleased to announce European Wizard101 services will transition over from Gameforge to KingsIsle and gamigo starting the week of May 16.
