I played toontown and unlike wizard101 kingsisle thought smart and made it so you don't just buy memberships, you can buy crowns, and bundles, granted KI will have to pull the plug in eventually the game should be up for a while, with new updates and such we are going to have a great time with KI.Human that is realnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640395775212642852.post-62983035053400866702013-12-10T19:19:25.086-06:002013-12-10T19:19:25.086-06:00"wizard101 falls or wizard101 RISES!"

I mean, yo...This makes me rather anxious, you know. I mean, you make it sound like Wizard101 is going to end tomorrow or something. All these bundled sales is kinda concerning (+50% more crowns online, +25% more crowns at Gamestop, online bundles on sale). What's up with this mentality anyway? Very gloomy, I must say.<br /><br />I am not at all supportive of the idea of Wizard101 ending. Inevitable or not, this, and Pirate101, have been very important to my life. I grew up with Wizard101 for the past 4 years and now all you're all Azteca on us. "The games gonna end!", "Save your players!", "Xibalba comes to devour the game." Something in that context. I've developed memories here, seen amazing story telling, build friendships, and now you're telling that's over. REALLY? I'm not ready or open to giving all these great years up.<br /><br />I get that all you're trying to do is just point out that Wizard101 could come to end. Yes, the displeasure in some players, J. Todd Coleman's leaving, and other factors are not oblivious, but this is much. I get that you may want to know when Wizard101 will end (I'm sure you'll find Death somewhere around here. Have you tried Cool Ranch?), but frankly, I don't want to know. I don't want to here in December, "We're closing down the servers." I want this game to go on for a long time (10 years at least), and it feels like you only see 2 years left of this game. Does the time you've spent here mean absolutely nothing?<br /><br />I don't think KI is going to close Wizard101 or Pirate101 anytime soon. Compared to Disney, KI does not support enough products to cut either of their games. They only have 2 major games and it would be horrific to end either one now.<br /><br />I'm pretty sure they have many plans for these games, and I'm positive they will be able to continue. I get that maybe you can't see anything past the Morangthe arc in Wizard or Pirate101's story, but this is no different from what people said back when it was just Dragonspyre. "They'll be no new levels" and then Celestia happened. So what's stopping KI from making Level 110 after November?<br /><br />Even with their imperfections, with some careful fixes over the years, all these problems and all these worries can be mended and put to rest. So, in short, I'm going to agree with Nicholas. I don't think KI is going to end Wizard101 anytime soon and I don't think KI will be too effected by the closing of Disney games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640395775212642852.post-56939149319907771452013-08-26T20:51:34.990-05:002013-08-26T20:51:34.990-05:00I actually meant to add a graph in there - you rem...I actually meant to add a graph in there - you reminded me. They haven't beat out ALL of their other competitors, and they certainly aren't far beyond the other companies. <br /><br />I think the online world of gaming is more fragile than you realize. Sure, they're bringing in revenue now, but both of the current games will close eventually. That's almost inevitable. We're not so much arguing about whether or not it'll happen so much as when it will happen.<br /><br />Right now, they've got plenty of time and money to go around, sure. But so does Disney. And they got rid of a few loose ends purely to work on new things. Think about it that way. Not so much that it has to happen but that it's make things convenient. And Disney has ten legs to stand on, KingsIsle does not. If the level of revenue does not meet high standards for continued development of three or more new projects, they may shift their focus to those new areas and close Wizard for the sake of convenience. <br /><br />You mention one of the points of the three-part series. Alone, it doesn't do much damage. Pair it with the other two and that's a strong argument. I'm not so much as saying that that's my opinion as that it's very possible.Swordrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03584492355650426899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6640395775212642852.post-78836476636327294022013-08-26T20:37:27.941-05:002013-08-26T20:37:27.941-05:00As a whole even if Wizards shut down, pirates woul...As a whole even if Wizards shut down, pirates wouldn't. KI wouldn't stop making games so we will never have to be worried. And honestly, Toontown and Pirates closing really isn't going to effect anything in my opinion. Both were very old and out of date with few players. Wizard101 beat out all the competition years ago, Fusionfall, Free Realms, Toontown, Club Penguin, Pirates Online, even stole the younger players from things like WoW. In no way do I think KI would be effected, perhaps a slight increase in players for people looking for a new game, but other than that, I don't see anything happening. Honestly the whole "Wizards is coming to a close" thing is just kinda silly. In no way is KI even thinking of closing their servers down when they are making money. Just because of lack of content in worlds doesn't mean they gave up at all. The day the community and servers close will be the day we go to Jupiter.Nicholas LionRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11794479904829688040noreply@blogger.com
