Parental Controls were enabled on this account, and when that was done, chat privileges were removed.

Ok but how do I change it back? It says I need to be a member when I am. Do I get to change it once I get another membership? If not I probably will stop playing because I can't communicate and I don't feel like starting all over.

If you were sure you didn't do anything that got you reported and/or muted, and that you either have a membership with the open chat enabled and/or is older than 13, then it was probably because your parents or anyone that is in control of your account(s) have disabled open chat for you. To regain it if that is the reason you need to ask them to re-enable the open chat feature for you.

Hi Supergamer,

If you are younger than 18 years old, one of your parents received a message informing her/him of your Wizard101 account. The message would have contained information about parental controls, which are set with a password protection. That means that you mom or dad chose to limit you to menu chat OR you have filtered chat and have tried to type words that are not acceptable to the chat filter.

If you have been limited due to parental choice, you will have to talk to your parent(s) about whether you are allowed to have filtered or open chat. If your parent decides to let you have filtered or open chat, then she/he will have to access parental controls with the password she/he set up and change the chat setting. In other words, you can't change that setting yourself, unless you have the correct password for parental controls.

Hope you get it all straightened out soon,

Have you tried turning off Parental Controls?
