“As we’ve said from before the game launched, we don’t feel that a ‘Free-to-Play’ model works for ‘Wildstar’,” said one Carbine source recently. “Could we go that route? Sure, but then the game would be just another ‘failed Free-to-Play game’, and to be honest, we don’t see ‘Wildstar’ as a failure. It simply hasn’t caught on with players yet, and we at Carbine are convinced that once players give the game a try, they will absolutely love it! That’s why we have a 10 day free trial out now, to give folks a chance to see all that Nexus has to offer!”

Post MMOs you miss in here and how they failed, also, this game has like 10 year olds running around in skimpy outfits, and the boob slider was removed.

WHo wants to download the game with me?

Whats the cybersex server called? We can all go on there as ugly deformed midgets and find true love.

I'm looking at you luvcow.

I think I remember there were supposed to be rock people in this game. Do the rocks have tits?

I had to check when it came out, and I'll be damned it took more than a year for this to happen, I remember getting emailed about the game launching with a subscription model and thinking it'd be six months before it was f2p

I played this game for a while at launch

Then I went overseas for two weeks and when I came back everybody else had stopped playing it

I tried playing it for another couple days and was the only one in every zone the whole time and finally I just unsubbed

e: even if it's free to come back, if they ruined my glorious waifus' boobs I dunno if I'd want to anyway

Man people really hate comic-book boobs

I don't really get why asking the devs to make a game's boobs smaller for you is the kind of thing it occurs to people to do, but I think I understand why they actually made the change (desperate to cling onto the players they still had and willing to do anything they asked)

mmos are bad. they could be pretty good by hiding the grind in fun ways but everyone refuses to do so so if you're not stoned out of your mind, it gets very boring and repetitive quick

Trove is the best mmo because its like if minecraft was a real game

instead of hours of grinding for slightly higher stats you blow up a dungeon in 3 minutes for the chance to get famcy cube recipes and cosmetics

classes have 4 abilities so you dont need a goddamn novella to figure out how to stat and play them either

It's some flash game where you are a chess piece and move around on some infinitely large chess board with a bunch of other chess pieces played by people.

the best part of mmo's is that so many are derivative and terrible that the selling point for like, a quarter of them in the mmo hmo is "you can [attack animation] a [wacky monster]!"

Shards of Saer'tal: become a corgi wrestler! Curbstomp a Yeti!

[Game is actually a tedious grind, barely a semblence of a story, two unique combat mechanics]
