MMORPG.com Wizard101 Correspondent Gabe Pursel recently asked a number of questions of KingsIsle Entertainment Executive Director J. Todd Coleman about their magic-filled MMO Wizard101.

What is Wizard101? Wizard101 is a light-hearted fantasy MMO with a tongue-in-cheek flavor. Players become students at a the Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, where they learn magical spells that allow them to beat opponents in a cinematic, turn-based combat system that uses a collectible card game as its core mechanic. Yeah, it’s a mouthful. I know. The game is much more story driven than your typical MMO, and relies heavily on exploration; the school is threatened, and in order to defend it the player will travel to a lot of odd, crazy worlds… like an Egyptian-themed world filled with crocodile sorcerer kings, or Marleybone, an industrialized London filled with canine gentlemen and dapper frogs.
As an MMO, the feature set is expansive: while saving the world(s), players can learn hundreds of spells, mix and match fantastic outfits, explore distant worlds, dye their clothing, collect and display exotic pets, play mini games, or participate in the PvP Arena to fight other players. Wizard101 also features a cast of good, bad and frequently silly characters. The overall feel is that of a light, incredibly polished online experience.
Very nice interview Mr Coleman! I think Wizard101 gamers everywhere are lucky to have such a cool Headmaster!
