January 2014
Welcome to the January 2014 Update Notes Page. What are Update Notes you ask? Every time we update Wizard101, we like to let our players know what changes have been made and what new additions have been given to the game. Update Notes explain those changes and updates.
In preparation for the upcoming Khrysalis part 2 update, we're doing a little housekeeping. These minor game updates will improve gameplay and performance for all our players.
