in News & Features Discussion

In the latest WildStar Wednesday, we get a sneak peek into the future of WildStar and the way the December holidays will play out. Penned by Phineas T. Rotostar, the letter takes the form of an advertisement from the Protostar Corporation on how players can make the best of the Winterfest Extravaganza!

But that's not all! As Protostar's Gala Winterfest Extravaganza by Protostar goes into full swing, you will be able to participate in fun-filled corporate-sponsored celebrations across Nexus - each guaranteed to nominally resemble many beloved holiday traditions from throughout the galaxy. And at Protostar, we bring winter to you! Using our patented Sno-Blo technology, Protostar will transform any community into a magical wintery wonderland - providing endless hours of holiday mirth and mayhem. And don't forget: a friendly, highly-trained, and moderately knowledgeable Protostar salesperson will never be more than a few steps away, ready to sell you the perfect gift at an almost imperceptibly inflated price.

Read the full letter on the WildStar site.

    This game looks fun... but... does anyone trust NCSoft anymore enough to invest their time and money into their games?

    GW2 is owned by NCSoft and had as much direct input into the development of the game as they do with Wildstar. GW2 is the best MMO I have played since EQ1 launch day 13 years ago. But that still has nothing to do with NCSoft. Right question is, how much can we trust Carbine Studios?

    I dont get it. Why, because they shut down City of Heroes? MMOs in the end are a business. If the community is not supporting a game, whos really to blame? I know I have been done with City of Heroes 4-5 years gone.

    It may indicate that we could anticipate the life-span of Wildstar to be no more than 10 yrs, 5 if it doesnt do that well. So don't get too attached.

    So if someone makes an MMO and it does not do well at any point in time. MMO fans are now demanding a game be kept going at a loss for what? Another 2-5 years? MMO fans need to shake their heads. This is a business and like any business. If its not paying to keep the lights on, its time to turn them off. CoH had a good run of 8 years and NCSoft did nothing worng!!!
