I believe a large part of our community is waiting for their next game and believing this may be it!
Sure most of us continue to play an MMO or maybe bounce between a few. Still looking for that feeling we used to have when a game consumed us. We loved it . Whether it was SWG, EQ, WoW or some other game that got us hooked. The feeling is gone and it’s time for something new to fill the void. I believe a lot of us felt and wanted GW2 to be the one to do this. A beautiful game that has many innovative features, it just didn’t completely fill the void. Now WildStar is on the horizon and looks to be the game that can finally bring back that feeling of excitement and community. So far the game looks to have most of the innovative features from GW2 and all the things we wanted from our past loves, as well as some great new features. Is this the one? Is this the game we've all been waiting for? What do you think?
I am waiting for the next big MMO that captures me for years to come, however, I do not believe it will be Wildstar. I am looking forward to playing it, but do not feel it will be the "ONE". I hope Blizzard's Titan is the "ONE". Hopefully Blizzcon will have some juicy info on it.

I think this game has potential for people who are not utterly sick and tired of theme park MMOs, but for everyone else it's probably going to feel like just more of the same with a new wrapper. I'd like to be wrong, but with all the much more interesting games coming down the road over the next 1-3 years, I'm not seeing anything about Wildstar that is blowing my mind.
A sure sign that you are in an old, dying paradigm/mindset, is when you are scared of new ideas and new technology. Don't feel bad. The world is moving on without you, and you are welcome to yell "Get Off My Lawn!" all you want while it happens. You cannot, however, stop an idea whose time has come.

Large part of our community, perhaps. It's SciFi a welcome change, seems to have many features Players have been asking for...
But it's a damn cartoon. Fails right there for me. I am not interested in playing and paying for any Cartoon Art style MMOs, no matter even if this MMO is the genre's best one in 10 years.
For those Players that cartoon graphics are not a big deal, I say enjoy.
I'm reserved about it, as one should be. I'm certainly excited about it though. For me, it's important for a game to feel alive. I had high hopes of that feeling being satiated with Guild Wars 2, but it fell short and I'm not sure why. The last game to give me that feeling was World of Warcraft, and before that Everquest. Those two games set my expectations and set them high. I'm playing Rift now and it plays wells. The quests are fun, the classes are phenomenal.Yet, in someways it lacks personality. There are no great cities, the races don't have anything to fall back on. Rift, even thought it's a good game by every measure, lacks a certain jenu sais quo.
Wildstar has no shortage of personality, however. If they can make the game feel alive with bustling cities, open world zones, dynamic events, and tidbits of lore that peek my curiosity, they'll have satisfied me.
I know a lot of raiders are hoping this game delivers on it's promises but I doubt many are planning on deleting their raid equipped toon or disbanding their raiding guild to go play it once it goes live nor should they. I think SWTOR and RIFT both showed that there is a huge difference between what a developer says they are delivering and what they do actually deliver when it comes to PVE end game.
I really really doubt PVP players are going to get into Wildstar. I just don't see PVP being more than a side activity in this game if it really is catering to the raid or go home mentality.

grrrr OP's reading my mind text by text. I am indeed looking a 'stable' MMORPGS that doesnt have to addict me , but the one that gives me joy coming back whenever i sit down during my computer night. GW2, Tera , NW , TSW ,Rift , SWTOR all of these i played and most of them are good MMOs , but they dont give me the 'thing' , this happens especially in vanilla when there wasnt extreme dailies.
A large part of the community is waiting for their next game? Yes.
... and believing this may be it? Possibly.
Is this different than the last 5 years of following the MMORPG genre? No. But there may be hope that it turns out better.

almost certain I ll buy this one, if I dont get into a beta prior, am also quite certain it will be a short term game for me...will see...love the dev talks, but doubt I ll like the humor that much, now I know to expect things to happen when I harvest and such, if there aint alot more of that sort of thing, actually them telling it, will have ruined the enjoyment for me...

If you hate wowclones (and this game apparently) so much then why are you here trollin the crap out of it?
I did battle with ignorance today, and ignorance won.
To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.

There's a huge chunk of people on this site that are sick of wow clones.
So you are going to troll him, and this game (you pop up in all sorts of posts without such claims) entirely because one player spoke in hyperbole? Its also nonsense to think that there are not a large number of players interested in this game because it is another themepark. I mean, the sheer fact you are going on about this being a "wowclone" is rather silly in itself.

In the past 5 years, I have become disabled and started to dabble in game art and design, and a main goal I have is to work for the WildStar team at some point. I watch every vid I can nab online, I Lurk the forums of all the fan-sites like a midnight rapist on a bad episode of SVU, and hell... I've been artistically inspired in many ways by the style and feel behind what i see in this game's development and future. I've kept an eye on a few rad looking games (and totally would trade my first born... err um... a hefty sum of cash) but none with as much anticipation, and child like glee of WildStar... Final Fantasy: ARR For the ps4 may be good and fun... Dragon's Prophet might cure my Poké Fix... But the REAL big kid in me nearly S#!t himself when i found out i could beat stick on an evil futuristic vending machine. It's all the cool races i've wanted coupled with Baskin Robbins of style behind each of my sub-cultural fan fav's (steam/diesel/cyber punk, retro, fantasy and SCI-FI) AND a bag of cheez-its. Now all I've really got left is to hawk-eye my inbox and the forums for a beta invite or the stress test until my eyes bleed :{P... but it'll be ok... i got a damn good retinologist!
So here's hoping i see some of you on the flip side. Good Luck and Have Fun!

Read your question again. Just think about it a little bit.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.
Welp, I'm certainly putting a lot of hope on this Wildstar hype-train !
See, I've never played WoW (not even a free demo), so if this game is supposed to be a "wow-clone" of great quality, then I've got 8 years or so of great gaming to look forward to...
Because even with tabbing, abilities all having zoned effects makes the gameplay itself somewhat different. Not entirely, but noticeably.
From gear treadmill to 40 man raidings, from guys standing around in a barren look like area with exclamation marks over their heads to 'go kill X and collect y for me' type questing. Don't even know where to begin. Not only in terms of the features but even in looks it resembles WOW so much.

Well, I haven't written it off yet, but not heard anything to excite me either.

Tiny and zoned is debatable.

Confused by the WoW clone comment.
