Yellow words can only be seen by players who have their accounts set to 'Open Chat.' Open Chat is obtained when a player identifies him or herself as 18 years or older by using their credit card. When typed, words that appear in white are words that everyone can view. The type of communication is restricted based on the age of the player. This appears on the screen in a white box to the left.


Private Chat is when a wizard wishes to speak in private, or 'message' to another wizard. In-Text Chat, what player types can be seen by every other wizard in the area either from a word bubble on top of the speaker's head or in the chatbox. Menu Chat only allows the player to choose from a variety of predetermined phrases or sentences and prevents them from typing anything else in Chat.

There are three different types of Chat: Menu Chat, Text Chat, and Open Chat. Due to its young core audience, Wizard101 restricts player interaction when compared to other games in the massively multiplayer online genre.
