"Last week while making our way through New York’s Comic Con, the wife and I stumbled across Carbine’s impressive Wildstar booth. For those of you who haven’t heard of Wildstar, it’s an insanely ambitious new MMO complete with telegraph targeting, player housing, tongue-in-cheek humor, and an amazing art style that comes across as a breath of fresh air in today’s gritty world. I had been keeping up with the game and all the DevSpeak blogs here, which are highly entertaining in their own right.
Having missed the opportunity to catch them at SDCC, I got wildly excited (ba-dum-ching) at the opportunity to finally get my hands on the game. You see, I’m not the only one looking forward to this game, and beta keys are hard to come by. Figuring our beta keys must have gotten lost in the mail we promptly made our way to the booth to play the game and rectify that. What we got instead was this impromptu interview. I’d call that a win!"
Justin van Huyssteen from NoobFeed writes - The Metaverse is a nebulous concept that has been floated about, by some, as the next big thing, and people often want to jump on board these kinds of things. Metaverse has been in the news a lot, but should it be in the news as often as it is? Or is it just another gimmick?
I have no interest in a metaverse, just give me a good single player game. And to answer your question: no, it isn't.
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.
