  • WildStar MMO Has Officially Launched

    The latest MMO from NCSoft and Carbine Studios, WildStar, has officially launched to the public today. As such, a new launch trailer was released.

    Unlike anything currently available, WildStar delivers a beautifully animated and distinctive artistic style, robust housing customization, unmatched Player versus Player gameplay and high-action combat that truly tests players’ skill with its fast-paced, reactive telegraph system.

    Additionally, the game showcases a distinctive personality that is humorous but laced with a foreboding undercurrent that implies there is more to the world than meets the eye. WildStar gives players the freedom to experience the game how they want, while providing an unprecedented level of exploration and discovery set on the planet Nexus.

    Features
    - Dynamic Combat: Experience edge-of-your seat battles where Telegraphs keep you engaged with each fight
    - Customization: Make your mark on Nexus by putting your personality on everything, from your character’s appearance to how you receive game content
    - Housing: Digs like you’ve never seen in a game before, ever
    - World Story: a deep and engrossing world where things aren’t quite as warm and fuzzy as they appear….
    - Adventures: Intense, replayable, and a different experience every time
    - Arenas and Battlegrounds: Fast and furious PvP content where only the strongest and smartest teams make it out alive
    - Raids and Dungeons: So hardcore they floss with barbed wire, you’ll be uber-elite if you can survive
    - WARPLOTS: 40 vs 40 battles that combine housing and intense PvP for an experience you’ll only find in WildStar

    The game is available for $59.99 (USD) and it includes 30 days of play time at no additional charge. It also includes three seven-day friend passes, and a special Decor item for your house. You can also go for the $74.99 (USD) Digital Deluxe edition that includes the aforementioned bonuses, plus a Hoverboard mount, unique costume, unique player title, and a limited-edition dye set.

    It is a subscription based MMO that you can either pay with your own cash or you can supplement it by paying with in-game currency. Yes, if you're diligent enough, you can actually play to pay in this game.

    I've been playing this for the past few days now and I am working on a review. However, as is the case with most MMOs, the review won't be done for quite some time. In the meantime, you can check out some of my screenshots below from the first major area of the game.

      It looked nice but It still didn't feel like the "WOW killer"

      Honestly, this game is pretty close to what I imagine a WoW 2.0 to be or have been or will be, whatever.

      While it might not be a WoW Killer as WoW is going to be the only thing that truly is going to kill itself more than likely I have to say this game is so much fun to play. I've been playing since the betas and the head start and I cannot put it down, its my addictive replacement for way too many years of WoW lol.
