It's a rare occurrence these days that we see a developer that "gets it". First was Grinding Gear Games with Path of Exile, and now it's this game. I'm already sold. Now give me Beta already

They seem to get it, at least they keep saying the right things...lets hope they deliver on it. I'm optimistic so far.

I was shocked at PAX East how little attention Wildstar was getting. They had a very nice booth and many demo stations etc. and yet had maybe 1/10th the traffice of Neverwinter and 1/50th that of Terrible Scrolls Online.

I kept gravitating back over to it to play some more (and enter another dummy email address into the beta, not that any of them have panned out)

That's the challenge of a new IP. They just don't have the brand name of a Neverwinter or Elderscrolls. Also a lot of the attention is actually payed for. Might help them in the long run if they can grow from more word of mouth then having over a million people assraping servers from day one. WoW actually started out small in comparison to all these new MMO's

Sounds like a terrible idea if it's true, but maybe they can't wait to have everyone abandon a half-finished game, like GW2 sadly ended up to be.

So back to saying "PP"(Platinum).

Also, in the first little gameplay footage in that(with the group of 3 fighting),after they kill the mob(its corpse is sparkling), the character runs forward and it auto loots the currency on the corpse. I am curious if this is just for currency or you can do it for all loot.
One of the videos recently briefly mentioned that there was 1-key aoe loot. Don't know if that's actually the case or not.

Stephen Frost has such a perfect voice for those videos, it's so soothing to listen to him to talk~

But I really really love right in the beginning of that interview he says "This is a game for MMO gamers, although we're happy to bring in other people that want to check it out" ..and I feel like that is an important thing to say because at some point MMO's became games for just the everyday gamer which isn't that much of an issue until you start dropping some MMO aspects from the MMO..

The lore of this game seems damn cool too. I'm excited to dive into the lore and staying up super late reading wildstar wiki pages

and hnnnnnng the housing system is making me hard every time there's a little bit more information about it. Being able to completely decorate it and scale and move shit around is awesome. Most housing shit it's like "you have a 16x16 floor, you can place it on 2 tiles" ...I want to make my house with completely upside down furniture. Shit yes.

Now all they need to do is add the ability to do dishes and fold laundry and women will swarm this game.

I'll do it. Shit, they said there's interior designers that you can just pay somebody else to make your house fancy.

I'll wash dishes and fold laundry for plat and I'll even roll a female with a tail and neckbeards will flock to me.

I'd guess that Sep-Dec is a safe bet for a release. Right after school resumes in the fall seems like a good time to me for word of mouth.
