I have to say this game really is a gem. Nothing seems to hold my attention anymore (SW:TOR, TERA) but it seems some of the best "game time" I have is just sitting in my recliner with my 4-year old on my lap and following his marching orders when he says "go here" or "use the snowman! that'll kill the troll!". We've been doing that almost nightly for 2-3 months now and having a blast.
My 11 year old has been playing Wizard101 for the last 2-3 years and finally hit max level last week. He was ecstatic to find the new areas unlocked when he got home from school yesterday and it was fun watching his excitement.....and remembering how I used to feel about content patches back in the day. :)
