Been known for some time now and has never really shown interest but for me it's kinder looking fun even though it dose have that young age feel to the game, a little like WoW.

This was just released, housing system.

I expect the leveling and story in this game to be pretty good, but PVP i just can't see it being anything special.
Created by NCSoft so it could have a life spam of 1-2 years -.-.

I have a feeling i posted about WildStar a while ago but couldn't find it to update it, still no release date but they are recruiting Beta Testers.

i've been following this from the beginning, really like the artistic style to it. that housing system looks good, but as you say, i dont think pvp would be any good 1v1, i think it's gonna be more of a larger battle with big guns etc tbh.

i'll be playing it once it comes out anyway. not that interested in getting in to beta.

I applied for Beta for this in 2012 I think! Still no joy yet, game looks very borderlandish looking forward to trying it

Did the last weekend, and playing a little this weekend. Honestly don't want to play too much as I would prefer to experience all of it when I actually keep my character.

So far I love it, this one might actually keep my attention away from WoW's next expansion, which is a good thing.

Nice game, like how it has it's own style, lore side of things looks very good. The general gameplay is too slow for me, combat especially very slow, this whole self aiming trend coming out is good, i did enjoy it on Tera but here it just isn't challenging enough, it's really too hard for you to actually miss a target even if you tried and i think this will ruin the PVP to the game as well.

Still getting it though.

yeah i thought combat was a tab slow too. found i was key bashed alot more than using any skill.

So many bugs in it too, so i really hope they fix them by launch.

Also found questing to be a tad frustrating, having to constantly click the arrow to point me in the direction to go. I found tera quest to be really easy, it was more or less in a linear progression through the map and you would only pick up quests near to where you had to do them.

Though i do like being able to turn in some quests without having to return to the quest giver, and the random quests and challenges that come up are a nice feature.

Will be getting it come release, but i don't think i'll bother with buying it before then. Still have high hopes that this will finally be the mmo i can stay with for a few years.
