Wizard101 recently topped 25 million players and 13 million monthly visitors to Wizard101.com. The game launched in 2008 and is becoming increasingly popular with children 8 – 12 years of age and adults. Wizard101 currently operates in six European countries including the U.K., Germany, France, Spain, Poland and Italy, and moves into China later this year for a potentially huge pool of customers.
