I think I have asked this question before..but I can't seem to find it in the message boards anywhere. But about the Menu chat and Text chat. Is there an age limit to the menu chat against all the players that have both text and menu chat? I've seen a lot of players that have the chat bubble but with a red line over it..and I know they only have the menu chat. But why is that?

Hello,

These are the differences in the levels of chat:

1) Menu Chat: Players can use predetermined phrases to talk with other players. This option is available to everyone.

2) Text Chat: Players can type phrases to talk with other players. Words that are NOT in the Wizard101 dictionary will be displayed as "…". This option is available to all over 13 and under 13 with parent permission.

3) Open Chat: Members who are over the age of 18, and have a valid credit card on file with us, can enable the 18+ Open Chat. This chat will be filtered for Profanity, but will allow numbers and names.

Is there a thing to tell you friend what kinda gift you want or ask for one because my friend offer and i couldn't answer him because i couldn't fined anything over menu chat

and is there a thing that say I'm good or something like that in menu chat because people are always asking that and i can never fined something to answer

If this problem can be fix that be greatly helpful to all player's we need more words and if you could make it easier to fined the words it make it easier .

also if you could add in a thing that say i going to get on my other account can you wait here so i can add you on him or i going add you to group so you can add my other account because sometimes people want to know why you adding them to group some don't care

Everyone can chat with one another in Wizard 101. Sometimes letters are white, yellow, or red; and other times, players can only use the menu chat, because they don't have open chat.

Chat in Wizard 101 is filtered for profanity. We all want to protect children; but adults play this game too. Not everyone is here to use profanity or offend anyone. They simply want to chat and play more effectively with one another.

18+ Open Chat

But what do the colors mean?
Anything in white will be seen by anyone who is 13 or older
Anything in yellow will be seen by anyone who is 18 or older
Anything in red isn't allowed; so no one will see what you typed
