Today marks the end of the rocky life of WildStar. After failing to live up to lofty expectations over the years. Carbine Studios announced in September that the game would be shut down and that the studio would be closing. Since the announcement, players have been able to enjoy the full game without restriction and with a number of in-game events firing off for the last time. In addition, Carbine provided fans a look at the content that was never released as part of a bittersweet farewell.

    Farewell Wildstar! I gave you a try a few times. Never made it very far due to the action combat mechanics. I hope all the devs land on their feet somewhere else and that the fans of this game find homes in other games.

    I enjoyed the art style I mean I really liked the colours and design. I also loved the idea behind the classes. There were many science fiction references of books and materials that paid homage to science fiction stories and even comics. I loved finding these little references like treasures that I could appreciate because of my love for science fiction books. I am so sorry that the people who peppered these subtle references will never see their contributions make a lasting impression. To them I say thank you and to the people who will earnestly feel the loss of the game, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

    Still loved the initial marketing campaign more than any other MMO in recent memory. There were so many things to like about the game but unfortunately it was missing that hook that kept people. For me it was the odd class design and somewhat boring combat. Art style was nice, housing I thought was well done and the dungeons were actually challenging.
    The combat seemed tailored to raid boss mechanics to a fault.

    You watch videos of raids, and the combat presents a really cool way to force players to coordinate and maintain situational awareness.  When fighting a few regular mobs or in a small group setting?  Not so exciting or such a good fit.

    Rip to a good concept, lost potential. I did meet allot of good people and played FFXIV with my wildstar guild while waiting for release, so at least the wait was good! >.> Goooo Rugged !

    Always sucks when this happens. Surely this game had enough people playing to keep it live right? Same with Warhammer Online. I don't know why these games turn off the lights yet we still have less successful MMOs alive.

    Even though I could never really get into this game. I wish them well. They really should have a way for them to live on as a SPRPG, open to community mods or something.

    Because that would have saved Wildstar?

    Because City of Heroes was making so much money that they could have supported it and Wildstar?

    I thought the game was incredibly well-built. The biggest detractor for me, personally, was the meme-esque and nonsensical story. Everything was... wacky, and not in the endearing way. Again, my thoughts. Never did get very far in the game, but did enjoy the brief time spent. I do hope these developers move on to bigger, better projects.

    While not my cup of tea, a lot of folks seemed to like it. Hate to see it close for their sake.

    I had fun for about a year before the lack of active players pushed me away. 4 or 5 decent characters, I thought the only fault in this game was aiming for high end raiders. Just too small a niche.

    When they closed CoH when it had plenty of active players they ditched it so their customers would focus on their newer mmorpgs like Wildstar. It would have probably been more profitable as well to improvement CoH and had alot more concurrent players than Wildstar as well as a more committed community.

    Farewell to a fun well polished game with the most toxic and hateful community I've ever seen. It's sad that it went this way for this game. If you weren't one of the first at endgame and then you made a mistake whatever team you were on would destroy you for 15 minutes in chat despite them likely making the same mistake 3 days before. I guess some of that falls on the developers for the penalties but the community is really what killed this.

    I never played but it’s always sad to see a gaming community scatter.
