To every pirate posting on these forums: Do you have a wizard?

If you have tried Wizard101, what did you think about it? What level is your highest level wizard? What school? Which game did you play first? Have you ever posted on the Wizard101 forum? I'd like to know!
My main wizard, David Dreamcatcher, is a level 45 Pyromancer in Dragonspyre. What's yours?

If you haven't tried Wizard101 yet, you should, because that game is fun, and fun is good. Both of KingsIsle's 101 games are masterworks. And don't ever think they're the same game with different themes: the gameplay in Wizard is totally different from Pirate. And if after playing through the free to play areas, you don't like Wizard, hey, you gave it a try. That's what's important.

Yes, I have 6 Wizards. Wizard101 is a very fun game that appeals to older players as well as the young. I like that an entire family can sit down and play together.
My highest level wizard recently made 50 th level, Death School. She's still in Dragonspyre and has yet to complete the "Time for Detention" dungeon.
I played wizard first, but P101 has stolen my heart and loyalty, it just too much fun being a pirate!

i have a lvl 78 fire and a lvl 42 death plus many other lower lvl wizards. I like pirate101 better than wizard becuase in pirate you have companions that go through all your ups and downs with you. In wizard I feel like your all alone. Everyone bosses you around in wizard in my opinion.

Yes I had a wizard. I played when it first came out. I think it was from the school of balance or something like that. I was unable to continue with it because it was the year I left home to begin my career. Starting out I didn't own anything. It's funny when I look back at it. I ate my cereal sitting on the living room floor because I had no furniture yet. So naturally I didn't have internet either. I had to get dishes that weren't mismatched and stuff to build a home. I got my t.v. and internet last. It's actually amazing how you come to realize how much stuff you really need to live. With all that I never got back into wizards.

I have nine wizards scattered over two accounts. The highest is a level 99 Life Wizard, followed by Balance and Storm who are somewhere in the 70s, I think. It is a good game, although I prefer Pirate's combat system and the companions. Also, so far at least, Pirate is handling the issue of making challenging higher-level fights better than Wizard has done, in my opinion (which I think is largely the difference in the two very different systems of dueling/combat).

I have but one wizard in W101, a lvl 100 Necromancer named Morgrim Darkmancer, Harbringer of death & shadows.

I have 6 wizards scattered throughout the spiral. My main wizard is a level 100 balance. I have played Wizard101 since late 2009! Recently though as much as I enjoyed wizard101 I think i may be done with the game, at least for now. I log on from time to time to check out updates and talk to old friends who don't play Pirate101 but i haven't really played(quested) for months now. I really like wizard101 but I don't enjoy the higher level battles anymore. I feel that i pass to many rounds in a row to build an attack up. maybe they will fix it so we can choose our starting hand at higher levels or something.I digress.

When I first heard about Pirate101 I was skeptical but i still bought access to the beta and i was pretty much hooked from then on. The story has been outstanding from the beginning, it feels more fresh and I like seeing a new side of the spiral, also I really enjoy our quirky companions. Now after the updates this past summer I prefer Pirate101. Its been fun experience seeing the game grow from the beta days till now.

Sounds TOTALLY intimidating.

I play both Wizard101 and Pirate101, and they're both really fun to play, but in all honesty I feel kind of torn between the two.
I've always been interested and overall fascinated by magic so that kept me with the wizards for a long time. But the pirates have (in my opinion) a much better game-play, in that there's more...freedom of movement; sailing a ship through stormgates to different worlds and different islands within those worlds rather than just walking from world to world through a magic door. The style of combat also plays a big factor. When pirates fight there's a little more unpredictability in the battle, whereas with wizards casting spells can become a little tedious. Plus with pirates, a solo player never really feels alone. When wizards fight solo, unless you have spells that can summon minions, you're basically outnumbered and left to your own devices; which can run out and leave you at the mercy of your opponents. Pirates are almost always guaranteed backup by their companions and aren't restricted by spells or mana. Sure with both games you have pets, henchmen, and other players to offer aid, but don't we all prefer free units guaranteed to help you in every battle? I mean we all know about those wizard pets that cast healing spells when you don't need them and don't cast them when you do. And, of course, pirates can earn a lot more gold more easily.
So I love the game-play style of Pirate101 but I also really love the theme and graphics of Wizard101. I've tried to find a mid-ground playing as a pirate witchdoctor but it doesn't have the same mystical feel of the wizards. I think I've made it clear why I'm torn between them. I'm really hoping that a crossover could occur in the future. They've already introduced the wizards to Boochbeard and Gandry, I hope the pirates can visit the wizards sometime. Oh well, it's like they say, you can please some some of the time but you can't please all all of the time.

i got to dragons within a month, but pirates just swept me away like captain brady with his storm shark problems

yes I played wizard101 it was a good game I just moved on to pirate101 because in W101 I always run outta quests to fast and to continue the storyline you gotta reach a certain level and in P101 the story goes on and on until you beat the game then you have to wait for a update and I am in mooshu I &

Yes, I have a couple wires on my belt. What's that? Oh, Wizards! Yes, I contain some wizards.

Currently, my main wizard is a level 52-54 Grandmaster Pyromancer, and is in Celestia. Unfortunately, I don't have membership to W101 anymore.

I have some other wizards as well, but they're pretty much insignificant.

So yeah. That's it from me.
