Hi, I wanted to know if anyone know why do Europeans pay more to play this game... US players pay 10$ and we pay 10€ (approximately 13$) when we should, by converting the currencies pay around 7.5€, since 1$ = 0.764954 €, 10$ = 10*0.764954 = 7,64954 €... if anyone could give me a proper explanation i would appreciate Sorry for any misspelling

It's not just this game, but nearly all MMO games developed, produced and sold from America.
One main reason is licensing agreements. Gameforge is the retailer for Wizard101 in Europe and adjusts prices accordingly. Same thing will happen when Wizard101 hits the Asian market. Taomee Holdings will set the price differently for China. Additionally, I believe the VAT (Value Added Tax) has some impact on prices, especially for Europe (but I don't know if Wizard101 is subjected to that). Finally, unless the game is bought exactly at US dollars it will never be the same price, as the exchange rate flucuates daily.
That sounds odd to me. I'm European as well, but all the prices I pay are in US dollars, and simply converted (I admit that I often check the exchange rate before buying crowns.. )...
Could it be because you use a credit card directly, rather than Paypal?
