    The Seam Markets? The Seam's online cotton brokers & peanut brokers trade using real-time market pricing.

    Awwww they fixed the title.  It's no longer as amusing.

    So they're going to launch during/close to E3?

    Welp, there goes their chances of being able to get any press coverage to drive folks to try out the game. Can't tell if they're honestly retarded or if they want to make sure the games last chance to stay alive fails.

    Sadly, steam can't save every game.

    Isn't it sort of strange that Steam is now supposed to fix what Carbine couldn't...?
    In a few month...what got messed up over several years?

    Good luck Wildstar, i hope this crazy little gem makes it!

    I wonder if launching on Steam from the get go, would have brought a different outcome for the game...
    If you are a Star Wars fan, why not try the Star Wars The Old Republic?

    more and more people seem to be gravitating to 'Seam,' so they're probably hoping that there is a dedicated population waiting for this move.  Not sure how big that population is, but an initial boost isn't going to turn the tide.  They need retention.

    Yes, so it seams...

    I guess every fan of game has by now accepted that NCSoft/Carbine don't do any marketing for Wildstar :/

    Doesn't it 'seam' so strange?

    That's like trying to compare Call of Duty to Overwatch. Their the same genre but hardly the same game.

    Its too bad, as the game could have been more fun.  But they have made too many mistakes, and now its coming apart at the seams... (sorry I had to...) :p

    Quite possible,who knows,all that maters to me is the quality of a game,not where or how it is launched.

    I lasted but 2 hours,the game just offered me nothing i wanted,no matter,i am sure they made some hefty early profits from the early hype train.I guess for those that like the game,they can see some light in that efforts continue to keep the game alive.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    Unfortunately the game is a seaming pile of crap, and launching at the time of E3, means any publicity will get seam-rolled by bigger stories.

    I enjoyed Wildstar for three months when it came out, and wouldn't mind trying it again. However, NCSoft's tendency to quickly kill off underperforming games would keep me from getting very invested in it at this point, even if it was amazing.

    I hope they do well because Wildstar is actually a triple A game with losts of content and lots of love put into it.
    I  think though that they need to get rid off those annoying atunments for Raids and make raiding more accesible for casual & not super skilled players (like actual WoW raiding)

    What matters will be the coverage on the Steam front page.

    I doubt a relaunch of a relaunch will gain much news coverage E3 or no E3. (Admittedly with so few big companies turning any news might be pounced on!

    And whenever it launches it faces competition for proples' time. It is summer for one. Major sporting events: European Championship (June), Tour de France (July), Olympics (August). All of which draw in non-football/cycling/athletic people.

    NCSoft spent a fair amount on marketing two yeats ago and that didn't work.

    To extend the sporting theme: its the dying seconds of the game and they have gone for a Hail Mary pass. (Another "football" reference)

    Steam has done nothing to turn around the fate of any of the mmo titles that have released on it, I really dont get why carbine think this will be any different.
  • ShijukiShijuki Member UncommonPosts: 318
    ^ this exactly. I dont see how this will save the game in any way. Sure, it will generate player activity at the start just with any f2p games released on steam these days, but im pretty it will fail on retention.
