James from Twinfinite writes "Subscription-based MMOs used to be everywhere. There was a time when you couldn’t walk outside without accidentally bumping into one. During World of Warcraft’s heyday pretenders to the throne rose from all corners of the internet, Warhammer Online and Aion are two which spring to mind. Recently though, the games industry has seen a shift towards the free-to-play business model which often sees user numbers increase along with income boost which exceed prior revenue levels. As time has worn on, this system has become something of a norm in the industry and the majority of new MMOs have used this business model. Carbine Studios’ latest, Wildstar, is different in that it clings to the subscription model and adds in a little something else; the CREED system".
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.
Couldn't help but swing by here to chuckle. The system in the game is CREDD with 2 'D's. This isn't a grammar nazi thing, it just made me think of Assassin's Creed and playing Wildstar as if it was another assassin's creed game. Which is surprisingly accurate since i play a stalker :D
