KingsIsle Entertainment offers unique in-game gift to military players and their families

PLANO, TEXAS (Nov. 2, 2009) – In honor of Veteran’s Day, Wizard101, the magic-themed Massively Multi-player Online game (MMO), is recognizing active and non-active U.S. military personnel with a special item their characters can use in the game.

The “Sword of Valor” item code and redemption instructions will be emailed to eligible players who register by November 12, 2009, at: www.wizard101.com/game/promotions/veteransday. The sword is available to new and existing player accounts. There is no fee to register, download or play the game.

“We’ve heard from military families who use Wizard101 as an online meeting place for friends and family when deployed or posted overseas,” said J. Todd Coleman, creative director of Wizard101. “Coming from a military family myself, I know that military service affects the entire family. We want to recognize our players – both kids and adults – with a special Veteran’s Day gift.”
