[Megathread] Wildstar - Now F2P

[Deleted]

As of right now I'll be on the RP server... though some people are kicking up a fuss about it for some reason so I might end up being on a regular PvE server.

Ah, you have friends among the "rp is gay" crowd.

Does anybody else think that only having 1 EU English speaking PVP realm is a really bad idea?

[Arlee]

Whats the rp server fuss? Does it have something to do with paying parking tickets?

These are the general concerns:

• Concern if we are on a RP server people will be picked on/yelled at for not RP'ing
• Concern if we look at doing a guild alliance or something our guild might not be liked because it won't be considered an RP name
• Concern people will report them for not having good RP names
• Concern that RP realms usually tend to be smaller so we might not be able to get enough people to raid

Those are the main ones and almost all of them are moot points :/

Can't decide which Race for my Esper... would like to play Mordesh, but too bad you cannot.

I suspect this is also playing a part but no one has owned up to it as yet.

As the only experience I have with PvP servers(which I played on for the first 4 years of my wow career) is getting killed by lvl 60/70's trying to do quests in hillsbrad and STV or people killing all the quest NPCS and guards essentially forcing me to lvl another character or stop playing(thought this did happen on Pve servers as well though a lot less frequently). There was some 60v60 battles but it was far from worth all the suffering from getting corpsecamped by a maxlvl char, PvE servers are my only choice now a days.

incredibly bad. It's not like Europe only has three languages ... guess where all the other languages will play?

Indeed, lol, 2 PVE servers and 1 RP-PVE server for each of the 3 languages, except French which has 1 less PVE server for some reason.

[Kelimbror]

guess where all the other languages will play?

Probably among the additional EU-PVP-Eng servers they open when the first one gets full. You know, since these aren't the definite, final, no way of changing it ever server lists.

Really depends on the number of people they intend for a server to hold. But its potentially got a problem, it'll more than likely be the largest eu server though. Definitely at release, may change as PvE servers fill up.

Even a lot of French and Germans will be rolling on Hazak so they can play with their friends from other countries, this server is going to have a meltdown.

Meanwhile the 1st one has a forever queue.

[Acidbaron]

Englisch, french and German actually have the largest playerbases from europe. Germany is the biggest of the three i believe.

Spanish has be less and all the rest generally prefers EN servers, i know the dutch speaking playerbase does as i'm one of them.

[Arlee]

So... is the commodities market across server? I feel like if it's by server they might find Credd less successful than they were hoping.

Yeah the majority of people who play on RP servers don’t actually rp, the majority of people on rp servers go there because they feel they will be;
a) More accepting of different people
b) composed of nicer non-competetive playerbase.
You are more likley to find people who make characters there just to harrass rpers than an RPer will harass a non-rper. RPers are a group that leave people who don’t RP alone much like dungeon and dragons basement nerds (and I say that affectionately) don’t go out in public to bad mouth Monster Truck fans. No, they do that in their private basements. :P

The Raid population might be a factor in this game however (its not in wow so much, even before X-realm raiding unless you had a low pop to begin with) as the population of players who actually raid are already going to be low by design.

My partner is demanding we buy this game and play it together.

Yay or nay?

Decided to play a Medic. Shocking everything with Electricity reminds me of my Shaman.

Get it. I been messing around on the beta and am having a blast.

Why not? If your partner is demanding as much you probably don't have a choice to begin with. ;p

Do it, always more fun with two.

I'm rolling a stalker, and I'm gonna tank.

like all the cool kids!

o-oh.

-sits in the bad idea corner-

aww, don't be sad!

here, these should make you happy: *gives some sychedelic hugs*

I'm not a fan of "funny" or "clever" names usually, so it's all well that you didn't pick that horribad thing. xD

so i take it my "Pearwolf" suggestion is out of the question as well, then? :/

But that's like...literally the letters you used.

oh please, english pronunciation is all over the damn place. in a language where "major" sounds almost like "nature", but "mature" sounds completely different, there is no "literally the letters you used" argument :P

If you named yourself Crakhor I'd be yelling at you for the same reason.

what's a Crakhor?

Sycophant would be funny, but only if you were a Cassian.

true xD

Don't really like funny names anyways. I think it has something to do with the fact that I used Kittyvicious to be silly, only to wind up maining that character for 8 years. No more 'haha, I'll never play this character' names. Not ever.

you know, Kittyvicious could actually be a pretty cool name for an aurin stalker...

Does anybody else think that only having 1 EU English speaking PVP realm is a really bad idea?

eeeeyup.

Germany is the biggest of the three i believe.

not really, since you have people from all over europe (and some other parts of the world) play on en eu servers, not just the ones who's native language is actually english.

My partner is demanding we buy this game and play it together.

Yay or nay?

that depends: would you play aurin?
