“MMOs have probably failed you,” admits Jeremy Gaffney, executive producer of WildStar, to a dimly-lit conference hall packed with games journalists.
This grandiose statement isn’t something you’d expect a developer of a forthcoming MMORPG to say, especially one who has been instrumental in bringing so many games to the online-playing masses including City of Heroes, Asheron’s Call and Tabula Rasa. Hell, the veteren of MMO development even co-founded the studio behind Lord of the Rings Online, Turbine Inc., so when he states that only 25% of players group up in MMOs, only 25% take part in PvP, and the more shocking statistic that 60% players prefer to play on their own, you can’t help but listen and think, maybe the MMORPG genre is a a bit broken.

I have no interest in a metaverse, just give me a good single player game. And to answer your question: no, it isn't.
Thank god nfts are dead. Still kills me how dumb people were throwing their money around on that only to get slammed by massive inflation and am recession. Peak society.
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.
WildStar offers epic high adventure, where players make their mark as Explorers, Soldiers, Scientists or Settlers and lay claim to a mysterious planet on the edge of known space.
