The only way you would be able to play Wizard101 without actually downloading it yourself would be if you could play the game on someone else’s computer who has previously downloaded the game. It is unfortunately not possible to play the game if you are not connected to the internet as it is an online game.
If you think of Wizard101 like a virtual world video game that can be downloaded from the internet rather than purchased at a store. To experience the 3D graphics and good game play speed, the initial game must be downloaded to your computer. To experience the ever-expanding and changing worlds and to socialise with other players, your computer download must also be connected to the internet. You will be able to start playing the game within about two minutes of logging in for the first time. The rest of the game will continue to download in the background and will be transparent to you.
If you are having trouble connecting to Wizard101 there could be a few things that could cause this. Firstly check your internet connection as if you are not connected, as mentioned before, the game will not work. Secondly make sure the Wizard101 site is still live. Sometimes they need to bring Wizard101 down to make repairs. Announcements about these downtimes can be found on the window that appears when you run Wizard101.
Another reason the game may not be working is if your anti-virus and firewall are blocking the programme. Therefore you may need to add Wizard101 to the allowed list or lower the access settings.
If you have tried all the above and the game still will not work you can contact Mr Lincoln at the bottom of the Help & Support page on the site. Click the "Contact Us" tab and Mr. Lincoln will follow up to troubleshoot the issue further.
