KingsIsle Entertainment master password help

I am trying to reset my master password in order to switch the email from my dad's to mine, as well as be in control of making purchases, as I am, at the time of writing this, eighteen years old. However, we have submitted a ticket to reset the password multiple times in the past two or more months and have yet to get a reply back. Any assistance on this matter would be most appreciated. It just makes me feel I am not a valued customer of KingsIsle Entertainment due to the fact I do not have an active subscription.

KingsIsle Entertainment Trolling/Harassing/Bullying/Threatening Individuals to Leave

Many gather in Commons, have for many years, meeting and talking with everyone about gear, quests, etc. There are people that harass/taunt/troll/bully so as to try to control the Commons and make (mainly adults) leave the Commons, change realms or quit the game.

We should not have to leave, change realms, quit, all because of these mean individuals.

Reports and emails sent, most with pictures of large mounts on top of someone and/or goes to others, too.

Try to enjoy the game and get harassed/bullied, is not a fun game.

K I sends reply back, "put on ignore and change realms". SO LET THE BULLIES TAKE OVER. THANKS Kingsisle/Wizard101.

I have cancelled one account and clearing out another to cancel soon. One I hope to keep, if they fix this problem.

KingsIsle Entertainment hacking an account on wiz101

One more things about accounts that was hacked? Kingsisle is the only one who knows all passwords and all security password in all accounts. How can someone hack your account and change everything? Nobody else but just kingsisle. To get your account back you got to pay them a lot of money and same thing when it's banned they will ask you to pay them back also. To all players don't let kingsisle fool you all. They hacked and banned accounts so players will purchase more membership to kingsisle. That's how company gets you to rob you more so don't be stupid to this game!

KingsIsle Entertainment automatic unauthorized charges to credit cards

Cancel all your credit cards and that is the only way to get your money back from kingsisle entertainment. Report all unauthorized charges done to the credit cards and dont do not waste your time calling or sending them e - mails because they still will answer you back to pay their company more money. If you will not cancel the credit cards trust me, you will get more unauthorized charges to your credit cards and it's so unreal how much money you will owe to pay kingsisle. This company is money hungry people. They will hook you up in the game and later on they will rob you all blind. I hope they shut down this company as soon as possible. They are rip off bunches of thieves!

KingsIsle Entertainment unauthorized charges on credit cards

Kingsisle will put you in deep hole charging your credit cards unauthorized. Stop playing the game cancel all credit cards that you used. They will keep charging doubles and large amount that you didn't purchase to the company. Not only wizard101 they will charge you also in pirate101 even you don't play the game. They banned your account to get it back you need to pay almost 500 dollars. Same with account is muted you are like in prison serving for 10 years to get it back. What goes around comes around hope they close this company and stop robbing people blind!

KingsIsle told you how to solve this, cough up the bucks. I have heard this story before on various fan sites of the game, and paying them is your only option. They hold the account. If a credit card is not available to you, you might contact them to ask if gift cards could be used to pay the outstanding balance.

Yeah! I'm 13 years old and it won't let me have text chat because it still thinks I'm 12. It stinks! I also never remember getting a master password and when I said I forgot it and they said they emailed it to me, I never got an email. I feel weird when playing because everyone thinks I'm a little kid because I can't text chat.

Do a password recovery on the account. If you are unable to do this, use the contact button for assistance. If KI can help you they will, and problem is certainly solvable.

KingsIsle Entertainment They didn't provide anything for free

I started to get different apps from the website www.wizard101.com. They offered free membership and a lot of for free, but after I agreed to their terms and conditions, these ### simply started to take different sums from me. I was furious and wanted to stop these fake charges, but the support team simply ignored all my emails. I was really disappointed and cancelled my card, but I couldn’t return my money back. Maybe someone has any ideas how to return money back, please contact me then or leave a comment. Thanks.

KingsIsle Entertainment They took my money

12/20/2010 I signed up for 1 year membership, for Wizard101, at $59.95. Within that year, I found I didn't play it as much asI had prior, so cancelled my membership.

I recently just happened to see on my credit card statement that
they had charged me in December. I didn't renew my membership so
contacted Kings Isle.

They (conveniently) said they found no record of my cancellation.

Per their help site, to cancel an account, you have to log into
said account and click on the Cancel Account button. I logged in and
there was no cancellation button available ...because I had already
canceled my account years prior. I let Kings Isle know I had proof
that my account was cancelled by me.

I explained that hadn't even played since 2011, and their software
can show this, but they won't tell me if they looked or what they
found when I asked them to check my profile to prove I hadn't played
for years.

I called my credit card company and had them stop the payment.
KingsIsle sent me an email saying my account was banned permanently:

Response Via Email (KingsIsle Support) 04/28/2014 04:18 PM
Hi there!It appears you have already received the
refund of $59.95 by your bank. Please be assured the account is
banned permanently so no further charges can be applied.

I emailed them again and asked them how many times they had taken
money, here is their response:

Response Via Email (KingsIsle Support) 04/30/2014 01:21 PM
Greetings, The 12 month subscription has been charged a
total of 4 times over the last 4 years.

I asked them for the rest of my money that they took. Here is
their response:

Response Via Email (KingsIsle Support) 04/30/2014 04:16 PM
Greetings, The refund that has already been provided, is
the extent of the charges that were eligible for said refund.

So, they took out 4 membership fees. I only authorized the 1st
time. The last time was refunded. I am stilled owed for 2 years worth
of fees and I want my money back pronto!

I know you are trying to help but your comment did not do that. And you said their site is difficult to navigate...I disagree. It is not difficult but I am sorry you think so.

If you would have read my statement you would have seen that I had cancelled - and the button was greyed out - I was not able to cancel again. And, since they banned my account, I am not able to [sic] membership anymore. Which is a good thing!

Ergo, I cancelled, they continued to take money from me without permission, and refused to return it. This company is full of thieves!

To avoid this reoccurring charge, you can membership, then immediately cancel the membership in case something happens that your child is unable to play. While their site is rather difficult to navigate and understand, the immediate cancellation method will solve the problems many are having.

@fred gl with that I tried to get them to stop lieing on their advertisements that say you can play for free the game. By definition free to play means no fee to play the whole game from start to end game. 30 web links in random places later you find hidden on their site it is pay to play not free to play. I went to the BBB of their us location and was told "sorry we can't pressure them cause they have no usa base despite your research. They refuse to answer us due to not being a US company."

They are violating the law and think it's ok.

@Bellamie yeah she did, "I call them no body anwer the phone try to rish them via email and nothing" while she did not mention what was said in the email. By her tone of wording she asked via email to cancle the account, she also doesnt say how many emails she sent them, so she probly told them to rrefund her after the cancle.

I think you work for them cause for me to find the page for "hey you gotta pay for every chapter" page i had to go through 27 pages to find it. why 27? cause it is not where it should be which is under store, membership, or the guide. in fact except for that page and the hidden faq page there is no mention of needing to buy the chapters to play. By definition free to play means you don't have to pay for anything to play the full game.

as for what she is saying i looked at that page and it doesn't mention it really well. it does mention continue membership will require you to pay for more time, but not you are auto renew.

@bell she stated she did cancel the account. which mean the monthly billing 10 months after is illegal. While the do state you cant get a refund, it doesnt show what about when they are at fault for illegal removal of funds.

KingsIsle Entertainment false advertisement

THe company KingsIsle has been allowed to do a criminal offence. there is a law stating you can not false advertise. in their comercial for pirate 101, they state "Free to play no payment required cept for paid membership" in no way does this mean that i have to pay to play every chapter's access fee to play past the introduction chapter. YET they are allowed to pull this sham and steal money from people by false advertisement.

free play my ###! If you have to either pay to get crowns, or pay for membership than it is NOT free play! I've talked to people on their chat boards and you know what I get?! 'stop complaining there are at least 20 things you can still do while playing free!' WTF?! Really that was the extent of my response. Others actually gave me the list of at least 20 things and then I stated nowhere in that list says 'ability to do quests' or being able to complete the game and they blew me off. So yeah I went on their website and told them that they either amend their advertisment or I was going to get a team of attorney's that would be able to shred them apart in the court of law. It worked for a couple months but now the [censored]es have commercials on tv that state play free now! That was the ultimate screw you to a potential member and i say RIGHT BACK AT YOU!

Kingsisle can tell me they have been working on this game for 3 years all they want. It looks like it was hashed together over about 2 months. No 50 gear, no place to farm, No housing items, many, many quests just don't work.. Cool Ranch is way, way too long, travel times from wherever you are to where you are going are outrageous. I have time to go in the kitchen get a coke out of the fridge, eat lunch and return only to find I'm still not at my destination. I've gone to sleep at my computer waiting to arrive at my destination.
This game needs a complete makeover.

KingsIsle Entertainment Membership

Okay, So I worked hard on getting to level 20, Bought loads of crowns JUST to unlock areas to get quests. So, When I finish, I got a quest to do something in an area I don't have access to. So, Instead I go ahead and try to do another quest; Go to Grizzleheim. When I try to go there, I need A LARGE AMOUNT OF CROWNS or MEMBERSHIP. I can't have any of those. I worked hard for nothing, So I call Wizard101 A SCAM. They just want money off of people! I would have NEVER of joined or spent money on it if I knew about this.

Wizard101 has a free to play area that you're invited to enjoy for as long as you want, however every school has a tuition. Just as you can't go past the lobby in a movie theater without buying a ticket, you can't go past Triton Avenue without getting a Membership or buying the areas with Crowns. We do not limit the time you can spend playing the game, but we do gate the areas you can access.

Remember, young Wizard, you can EARN your own Crowns!
Go to https://www.wizard101.com/game?context=iaf -follow the instructions and you're well on your way to Earning Crowns that will allow you to purchase Premium areas of Wizard101.

JJ308, it is not quite as cut and dry as you are painting it. However, KI tends to skim emails, and automatically assumes that reports of hacking are kids that have given out their user name and passwords. You need to be aggressive with them (do not expect an intelligible response until your third email to them). This is a form of bullying that KI uses quite effectively.

The above comment from KingsIsle is a form letter sent out by support to anyone they want to ban for whatever reason. The first statement is obviously false, the accounts can and are being hacked. To state that an account cannot be hacked is wishful thinking and nothing more. I have seen several complaints and posts against the company these complaints mostly revolve around accounts that have recently been renewed for a one year membership and then get banned prior to the end of the first month. This appears to be some sort of scam they are running to attempt to increase revenue. I spoke with someone recently that had there son banned permanently when they reported that someone had hacked into their account when asked about it they same form letter as posted above was sent out. The individual who hacked the account was on their son's friend list and was making threatening comments that brought the boy to tears. When the boy reported it the company did not go after the hacker but banned the young boys account and claimed he had provided the password. I will let you make the judgement on the integrity of the company on your own.

The only way someone can access your account is if you've given out the password.

Our support team can help you but you need to contact us at support@wizard101.com - you can only contact us through email, and when you contact support, please ensure that you give us:
->the account name
->the character name
->as much information about what you encountered as you can, including error messages or screenshots

NEVER send us:
->your password
->your full credit card information

The more information you give up front, the faster your issue can be resolved. It can take up to 48 hours for Wizard101 customer support to reply to your email.

If it is determined during the investigation of your claim that you freely exchanged your account information, your account will be banned and you may also incur further sanctions against current and future Wizard101 accounts.

KingsIsle Entertainment Wizard 101 kept billing me monthly and never responded to any emails

On 24 July, 2011 I purchased coins and a membership for my son on Wizard 101. The coins never appeared and I had to email the site for assistance. They gave me some directions, but the coins and added extras from the membership never showed and my son was never able to access new areas of the game. I emailed the site on 3 separate occasions requesting cancelation of this membership and return of funds due to services unrendered. Wizard 101 kept billing me monthly and never responded to any emails. I had to call the bank to protect my account. WIZARD 101 is a scam!

This is certainly not how we would handle a cancellation request. I can personally assist you - please forward your communications with our support team to community@kingsisle.com and I will investigate immediately.
My apologies for such a bad experience, and I will work with you to set it right.

KingsIsle Entertainment Rip off

I purchased coins and a membership for my son on Wizard 101. The coins never appeared and I had to email the site for assistance. They gave me some directions, but the coins and added extras from the membership never showed and my son was never able to access new areas of the game. I emailed the site on 3 separate occasions requesting cancelation of this membership and return of funds due to services unrendered. Wizard 101 kept billing me monthly and never responded to any emails. I had to call the bank to protect my account. WIZARD 101 is a scam!

KingsIsle Entertainment Improper billing and notification of purchases

According to the crown purchase history on wizard101.com, from 11/21/10 to 10/08/11, my son only made purchases in the amounts of $5.00 (2500 crowns) or $10.00 (5000 crowns) . At first, he always had to ask me for my credit card information and KingsIsle Entertainment would occasionally send me a confirmation of the purchase. Then, on 11/02/11 and 11/13/11, purchases showed up on the credit card assigned to his account in the amounts of $25.00 (13, 750 crowns) and $240.00 (3 x $80.00 [60, 000 crowns]). I've filed a complaint with the BBB, Visa, Michigan's attorney general and the PTA's in school districts around the state of Michigan to warn them about KingsIsle's practices: saving credit card information in minor user's accounts and not send confirmation receipts on every purchase.

KingsIsle Entertainment unauthorized use of credit card

I cancelled my subscription earlier in the year and just got my credit card to find they had taken out another year's subscription! I tried calling the number displayed on the credit card beside the charge but it was useless. It just sent you back to their site to dispute it. I sent them an email informing them of the fraud on my card but haven't heard back yet.

KingsIsle Entertainment Allowing minors to use credit card accounts

Because I paid for my son to use Wizard 101 on a monthly basis, unbeknownst to me my Amex information was saved and he was able to to 4 transactions, resulting in a total of $50 worth of "crowns". When I looked at my online credit card billing statement I contacted Amex immediately. KingsIsle finally emailed me back, as they DON'T take phone calls or do any type of phone correspondence, 3 days later! Several days worth of condescending and "holier than thou" emails later. They banned my son's Wizard 101 account and refunded my money. So yes, I'm an unusual story where they DID refund my money. Maybe because I'm related to more attorneys than I care to talk about, maybe because Amex got involved or maybe because I vowed to cost them more time and money than doing this to hard-working parents would ever be worth. Yes, I punished my son and realize most of the reason this happened is because I was stupid enough to trust my credit card info to THIS company. All I expected them to do was to be just and fair in crediting my account to some degree and assure me this wouldn't happen in the future. THAT simple idea is too much to expect from this company and I owe it to ever parent out there...DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY WITH YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO! YOU WILL REGRET IT!
