It’s a lovely community - you know, as online games go.
Now the ‘nearby players’ pane teems, with noobs hopping into chat in their droves to ask questions of the vets who have come back to see what's changed. It’s hard to begrudge the usual madness that accompanies an MMO launch (or re-launch) having experienced the crushing emptiness of WildStar’s levelling zones beforehand. I’ve been queuing like a champ to get in, even at off-peak times, and it’s a situation that’s only just been alleviated by the introduction of two temporary overspill servers on either side of the Atlantic. Bodies on the ground are what count if WildStar Reloaded is to stand the slightest chance of survival. It’s busy, O thank WildStar’s Eldan space gods, it’s busy. Here’s wot I think after a hectic opening week. Quaint trappings like the subscription fee have been removed, but developers Carbine have gone much further, also overhauling and streamlining the game in umpteen different ways. Or if not death, then the spectre of the game's inevitable free-to-play conversion.įor the past few days I’ve been relearning the ropes in WildStar Reloaded, which isn’t a shot in the arm so much as a new bionic hip. Despite comic book stylings and zany humour, logging on was a lot like touring a nursing home, the party atmosphere muted by the aspect of Death trailing behind and checking his watch. Released in June last year, WildStar’s player count didn’t so much dwindle as vanish into the nether.
