Hi there  :)
 
So a year ago I first tried the Wildstar trial but didn't stick with it due to time restraints at the time and other distractions. But about a week ago I decided to give the game another shot and I'm having a great time with it. I'm a lvl 15 Draken warrior explorer and I've been focusing all my attention on Deradune and the lore of the area. Already I can feel this game has a lot to offer in terms of time invested and gameplay reward value. But what tops it all off for me is it is just a lot of fun. The moment to moment gameplay, traversing mountains and swimming through lakes is very enjoyable. And while the soundtrack can get a bit much sometimes with it's high energy it's very fun to listen to and I love how it changes dynamic depending on the region/area you are in. It makes for a lot of variety.
 
This is coming from somebody who didn't like MMO's at all until I played Guild Wars 2, which I instantly fell in love with and played almost 2000 hours of to this day, and still logging in.
 
Something I like to do from time to time is search the internet and jump into many of the free trials available with each MMO. ESO, Archeage, WoW, Rift.. among many others. But no MMO did it for me like GW2 did and now Wildstar feels like it's on that same level of quality. Very promising, I can see myself jumping between GW2 and Wildstar, depending on the way I feel. They are very different games but they do have something in common; the moment to moment gameplay is fun to be involved in. Interesting how the only 2 MMO's which impressed me were backed by NCsoft. 
 
I don't own the game just yet but my friend who joined me on the trial already did. I plan to pick up the boxed version sometime this week, so that I may have access to the mail systems and leveling up further.
 
Thank you for reading  :D

First of all, Welcome to Nexus, cupcake! :D
 
I hope you enjoy the rest of your trial and stick with the game. :) It's a really fun game and with a new drop that came out today (finally pets and a wardrobe!), lots of exciting things to see and do!
 
Buying a boxed copy is very smart right now! With a lot of stores selling a boxed copy of the game for only $20, it's such a good deal. :) You get the game, a free month ($15 right there. :P), and one of the new rewards! (a mount, a hoverboard, or a costume)
 
Hopefully you and you friend continue to enjoy yourselves. :) Have fun on Nexus!

Some cool moments we had. When i was able to get up an incline because of my jet pack but my friend couldnt. So we entered duel mode, and I pulled her up using my warriors grapple hook ability. Also, when I discovered I could gather from nodes by smashing them with my sword. I haven't used my pickaxe since  :P
