We all love the name WildStar or WildStar Online, but it is really important on the verge of F2P we must rebrand the name slightly to
effectively communicate to new players that the game has changed.  So much so that they must come back and try it.
 
Why this is important, because every major MMO that has come out in recent memory has rebranded
to communcate to new and old players alike that the game has grown and changed for the better and this isn't
the game you thought it was before.
 
Examples;  Tera : Rising used to be Tera Online, and Elder Scrolls Online : Tamriel Unlimited used to be just ESO or TESO, Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn used to be FFXIV.
 
 
So I offer up the name WildStar : Nexus Reborn or something to that effect
 
 
 
 
So I ask you community of fellow Wildstar players please support this and communicate the importantance of this.
 
If you agree please tell me in the thread why or why not?  Please be civil and explain your answers.

			This. is. NEXUS!

With the exception of TERA, Final Fantasy and Elder Scrolls are established IP's with a huge following just based on their IP. I definitely think that contributed to their ability to do a re-brand with the game's re-release. That being said, its definitely not a bad idea to do a rebrand from a marketing perspective. A small change in the title, as OP points out, lets new players know that the game is changed. 
 
I don't think this is going to happen though. A quick search of the TESS (trademark electronic search system) revealed that NCSoft has not registered any additional trademarks other than WILDSTAR (in several different classes of goods/services). If they were planning a rebrand, they likely would have registered a new name in November (when they knew the game was going F2P).Additionally, I don't think Wildstar: Nexus Reborn is necessarily the best choice for a rebrand name. It doesn't have that wildstar flavor and seems derivative of FFXIV's rebrand. My suggestions would be something that really captures the idea of a bunch of new colonists, explorers, settlers, scientists, and people arriving on Nexus and helping their respective factions build a better world. Something like WILDSTAR: THE SECOND WAVE, but better.

I think Carbine does a good work already, through Facebook and other social media. They made a whole trailer-film which fans can share on their personal profiles, to promote the news. 
One thing I would like to see though, is a "Recruit a friend" function where subscribed players can get a chance to send their friends a trial key, where they can get access to everything in the game + a level bonus when the two are in party or something. Mainly because I think the -best- way to make players excited about their experience with the game, is by getting the guided tour by a good friend.
 
A friend of mine got a free trial, but first of all he couldn't whisper anyone, which he was really frustrated about. He couldn't trade and couldn't add neighbours within that trial. This gave him a half experience, and somehow I think it'd be worth more if it was just 5 days access, but with all included. Then I could had given him some furnitures to play around with in his house, given him inks to show how the holo-wardrope works..
 
Of course I can't tell for sure, but with the CREDD function I doubt there will be that many issues with gold spammers abusing the trial. At least I think it's a risk worth taking in the chance of getting a more fruitful community of players.
Let me hear what you think.
