Not sure if it goes here or in the gaming section, but I'm addicted to another world. After FreeRealms and I decided that we'd grown apart (it wasn't FreeRealms, it was me, to be honest), I missed that sort of cartoony fun. But I wanted something more than "click, yawn, another Robgoblin has gotten smacked for X number of points"

Wizard 101 promises to be a mad summer fling. It follows you in a Harry Potter style world where you play a young wizard arriving at school, beset with magic, nefarious plots and grumpy instructors with assignments (oooh..I hate Magister Drake...)

The combat/magic system is basically our old friend Magic the Gathering, but animated in 3D. The quests are reminiscent of FreeRealms, but with rather more plot.

Chat is super censored, also like FreeRealms. But if you want to chat a blue streak, log onto SL!

Not to continue the FreeRealms analogy, but you can play for free for a while. I got about a week out of it before I ran out of quests and decided to open the purse strings for a subscription.

And yes, it's overrun with teenagers. But why should they have all the fun?

I've been hooked on Wizard101 since the Fall. The recent updates they have put in have really improved the game. It wasn't bad before but it was limited. There are quite a few closet adults that are hooked on the game now. I like it because it's so different from anything else out there right now.
