The recent news about lay-offs internally at Carbine are not only a blow to the employees but everyone who even follows the development of Wildstar. It has unavoidably sent tremors through the gaming community about what is going to happen to the game we all support and love. 
 
It is understandable that yesterday people fell on hard times but now is the time to offer some clarity to your community and offer solidarity on the matter at hand.
 
What is going to come of Wildstar?
 
I ask this question not to fear monger but as a way for Carbine to give us a solid outline of what are the repercussions of this loss and what it means for us, the paying subscriber, not just now but in the coming months to follow. Will this affect development time? Why were lead designers cut? These are really important issues that need answering either by a reply or a state of the game announcement.
 
We have had F2P passed around as well as stories, as unforgiving as they are, that NCSoft could simply pull the plug. Lets put these rumours to rest and realise that now, more than ever, the community need some clarity in order for us to stand behind Carbine and help get this game through teething and into Drop 4 which could be said the be the beacon of hope right now.
 
As much fun as I am having on my journey on Nexus, I do not want my progression, as well as subscription to all be for naught if anything should happen to affect the operation of the game or servers. 
 
My final thoughts on this matter are that we really do need an official statement of what this means for the consumer, who actively create the need for employment at Carbine (Sorry to throw that out there). No B/s, No Soon™, No beating around the bush. We are adults and if the fate of this game has already been decided we have the right to know.
 
Lets keep this topic on the rails however and show carbine that we want to stand behind them but they need to be straight with us first. 
 
Thanks for Reading,
