KingsIsle Entertainment has announced a "family subscription plan" for its tween virtual world Wizard101, with multiple accounts (charged to the same credit card) to be available for $6.95 each, a reduction from the general subscription rate for one account, which is $9.95.

Discounts to the general subscription plan are also available for six-month and one-year subscriptions.

Wizard101 remains free-to-play, with the subscription available for those who wish to experience "advanced play content and features" -- though KingsIsle note that they intend to continue to add to both the free-to-play and ssubscription game environments are planned on an ongoing basis.

In support of this announcement, KingsIsle forwarded several positive messages from adult players of Wizard101, including "Olivia Jadeflower" (her in-game name) stating "I live 1500 miles from my grandchildren... and now this is the game we play. They both think it's great that their grandma plays with them and like to brag about it to all their friends," and "Donna Mythcaster" claiming "...of all the games out there for kids, this is the best one by far! The chat is safe, it's exciting, and great fun for parents to play with their children."
