Wizard101 Central is a fun community fansite and forum where you can get tips, make new friends, get help, read guides and talk about our favorite game, Wizard101!
Last week Wizard101 developer KingsIsle Entertainment announced that it was expanding its executive team by promoting key staffers into newly-created positions. Wizard101 executive manager J. Todd Coleman is now Vice President of KingsIsle Entertainment, while Wizard 101 co-creator Josef Hall is now KingsIsle Vice President of Business Development.
Both men are co-founders of Wolfpack Studio and co-creators of the early MMO Shadowbane. Hall will be responsible for future strategic direction of KingsIsle while Coleman will lead development on KingsIsle's next project. For now, KingsIsle's Wizard101 serves about 5 million registered users. The MMO has held steady at this number of users since its first anniversary last year.
Wizard101 launched its first prepaid cards last summer. Since then the MMO has dabbled in charity virtual goods and has published a free iPhone app that lets users earn virtual currency by playing a puzzle game. KingsIsle is clearly still trying to grow and maintain the Wizard101 community, but it's not surprising to hear that the company is currently at work on a new project.

WIZARDCITY, The Spiral (March 5, 2010) – The winds of spring are blowing across WizardCity, and with them come the fresh spirit of competition. Inspired by Earth’s finest athletes at their winter games, Wizards from every school and many worlds of the Spiral are ready to set forth on grand new adventures with their loyal pets alongside them, with exciting new activities and fresh challenges soon to come.
When asked what’s in store for pet-owners, Merle Ambrose, headmaster of Ravenwood School of Magical Arts, replied: “This spring, pets will be able to do more than you have ever dared hope! These fine creatures will serve alongside you in wonderful new ways, taking you to unseen parts of familiar worlds, and in time to come, worlds beyond those you know! If you think you have seen all that the Spiral has to offer, young Wizard, you will soon discover an all new breed of entertainment!”

When asked to elaborate, Ambrose replied cryptically, “The answer you seek may be in the stars... or it just might be there alongside you.” A thread on this topic can be found here
