    Wildstar to go F2P - Will you play?

    So Wildstar has announces they're going F2P:
    WildStar Is Going Free-to-Play! Here?s All You Need to Know | WildStar®

    Thought I'd post it here as at the moment this is the game that is probably most similar and relatively popular to WoW, it will be interesting to see if this takes away any of WoW's 7 million remaining subscribers.

    Anyone here going to be revisiting the game?

    I don't think I will play it. I don't want another WoW. If I am going to play another MMO I want it to be different then WoW. That is just my opinion.

    Wildstar WAS and IS great, but i don't think F2P will work with this kind of game.. The core of WildStar is PvE and raiding, and i don't think we will see any new raid as fun and hard as the two that came with the release : Genetics Archives and Datascape.
    I'm afraid they'll take the easy way like GW2 and only release shitty events where you'll only have to grind, brainless... F2P actualy. x)

    I don't play anymore, but i realy hope Carbine will keep releasing new raids with the same quality boss mechanics, but i really don't think so.

    Wildstar in my opinion is a great game, I really fail to understand how it failed so massively.

    I may give it a shot. I'm not a huge fan of all the restrictions they put on the extraneous stuff though.

    What do you mean? Are you referencing the cosmetic F2P restrictions? I get that they're annoying but obviously they can't make a F2P game with no restrictions, most companies take it to the extreme where you can pay to gain a massive advantage over other players, it looks like they've purposefully avoided this which is great

    It depends how they work the F2P completely.

    swtor is fine f2p actually. It works for the game, and I can see something like that actually working for Wildstar. You can level and experience some things, but not to the extent that you 'could' should you choose to sub up.

    My only wish is that the stuff Bitwise was saying would be in a future update/patch will actually be implemented for UI/Addon support. There are things that I wanted, that he put in a word and said they would be doing it in a future patch. It's over a year and nothing has changed. So yea... I loved writing addons for Wildstar in Close Beta, but the problem came about when I wanted to share data. Rift has a server side storage, but Wildstar doesn't. It breaks a lot of the stuff when it comes to that kind of storage. You can't keep tabs reliably without external storage (copy paste) or manually waiting for someone to sync whatever data you need, to pop online and do it... it's a pain the in ass.

    But I will probably give it another shot for a month or so. Depends if I can find anyone fun to hang out with on there. Game is super boring to solo :/

    You've either never played WildStar, or never played WoW. Completely different games.

    1) Too hard content (raid attunement)
    2) Too easy content (raids)
    3) No endgame except raids
    4) Bugs
    5) August patch deployed in November
    6) WoD release

    If I can get my friends to play with me I may come back, otherwise I'm going to just stick to swtor because it's the best mmo to play alone as it's basically just a rpg.

    Launching it so close to ESO... probably wasn't a good idea.

    I plan to play, I'm trying to get a box'd copy atm though, this lack of income sucks, and I can't find any key resellers who take wow gold.

    1) Too hard content (raid attunement) <-- @ launch yes but changed soon after
    2) Too easy content (raids) <-- No, the raids are still challenging as hell
    3) No endgame except raids <-- Disagree
    4) Bugs <-- Yep, lots
    5) August patch deployed in November <-- Incorrect
    6) WoD release <-- This one hurt a lot

    7) Staff Cuts
    8.) NO MARKETING

    WildStar is a million times better than it was a year ago when it launched, but it did have a lot of issues at release which took a while to iron out. I'd say that right now the game is on point and ready for the masses, Carbine just needs to get off their asses and do some broad marketing as opposed to targeting a small segment of gamers.

    If you look at what you get in the game now as a subscriber vs what you will get as a F2P player when the switch happens, there are very FEW restrictions being placed on you. They are giving future signature players a bit of a bump, but if you are playing as a sub today and switch to F2P when it happens, you're not going to notice much of a difference. I was actually surprised at how much they are giving to free players.

    Seeing as he's not with the studio anymore and that his replacement hasn't really been named... it still might be a while
