Hello everyone,
 
I played Wildstar back when it first released and was very hyped for the game. However, I had an AMD processor with a failing graphics card that made my experience annoying and frustrating to say the least so I had to unsub. Not because I disliked the game, it was just unplayable with the AMD optimization and my graphics card about ready to die. Enough about that.
 
I decided about two weeks ago (new graphics card) to try the ten day trial and ultimately didnt sub due to the low population at lower levels and just not quite feeling that MMO experience. I was able to do some lower level group content through shouts in zone chat which was relief and somewhat satisfying feeling as though I had to make an effort on my part to do some content. However, as a low level, I find it difficult to justify a sub fee due to the nature of the scarcity of players I run in to. So my ten day trial ended. But you know what? I freaking missed the game, despite the glaring population flaw. I really missed it. The graphics and combat just sucked me in to the experience. I love my stalker, and dungeons were amazing.
 
I'm currently subbed to FFXIV and going back to that game was difficult after playing my stalker and feeling the action oriented combat. But once again, the population is the issue for me. I also have friends that play FFXIV and it has a healthy population.
 
But none the less, I've resubbed to Wildstar. Why? Because as much as being alone out there in nexus sucks sometimes, I found myself missing it. And although I dont play every day sometimes I just want a Wildstar fix. I tried waiting for F2P and the population to return but Wildstar left me with some very positive feelings. I ran across a group of RPer's yesterday and I just stood and watched them do their thing. It was great. House Valentine? I think was the guilds name, you guys made me want to join in but I wasnt quite sure how to break the ice. I helped someone do a bounty and it was a blast.
 
So I will periodically come back and play when I need my wildstar fix, which I will becuase this IS A GREAT GAME. I dont quite know why I wrote all this. Mostly because I wanted to somewhat justify to myself why I dont make this my main game. So maybe this is some sort of apology lol?

			Well when you hit level 50, you wont feel so alone anymore. Hopefully when f2p hits the lower levels will fill out more.

			Glad you're joining us. I recommend joining the player lfg channels, even if its just for the discussion. Helps the whole bit feel a little less empty. Also Saturday and Sunday afternoon low level pvp is occasionally organized, so watch out for that.

			Thanks. I hope this didnt seem like a goodbye thread or like I was spouting any negativity on my part. Ive yet to join a guild and am a person who loves to take their time to see the world when it comes to leveling. So I'm not in any great rush to get to 50. But, youre right, at 50 a lot of avenues really open up Im sure. I will see you guys on Nexus!

			Yeah, I like the game, but it's really hard to play sometimes because I'm only level 16 right now and the leveling does feel quite slow. I'm hoping it picks up. On top of that I get really bored soloing content and wish I had some buddies to level up with.

What server are you on? If entity:
 
Exile /chjoin LFG
 
Dominion /chjoin EntityLFM
 
I haven't been able to play for a few days, RIP motherboard :(, but I made an Exile alt just before I had to stop and the starter area was crawling with lowbies. Be patient, the Humble Bundle players will catch up :D

I returned to wildstar about 5 weeks ago now and like you I was previously subbed to FFXIV. I love FFXIV and to be honest I have nothing negative really to say about the game, the new expansion looks great too.
 
I just think Wildstar is the better game. There's not much between the two, and each game has elements I wish the other game had.
 
If population is the issue for you then FFXIV is certainly the game you should sub to. The dungeons pop instantly no matter what time you queue. I'm having no problems with the population in Wildstar though. The adventures sometimes take a while but the dungeons have been fine and I do see plenty of people while levelling.
