			I don't want to burst your bubble but a lot of people are here because there's nothing else to play. There are a lot of games coming out in the next few months to a year that people want to play but they're not out yet and people are tired of what is available to play right now. Wildstar F2P released at a time where there's a serious MMO void. I think you'll have to wait a few months and see how many people are still here before celebrating. I know my guildies and I were not planning to play this at all and only hopped on at the last second because we have nothing else to do for a while. I didn't even want to play but I got a last minute text yesterday begging me to come join so here I am, here for my guildies more than the game itself cause they're just that awesome haha.

			  What we're seeing today is proof positive that a lot of people out there truly enjoy mmo's and are very excited to hopefully find "the one" they've been searching for, not knowing for sure if it's actually out there.  There is a huge market for this game and the population spike you're seeing here today proves how many mmo die hards have been tracking wildstar developments as well as other possible new game releases which they can finally hang their hats on.  Without naming names, we all at one point or another were involved with another mmo and are here now for various reasons to be sure, but one unifying reason is that we're hoping to have that "one" again.  The one like that other one was before.  Before it changed or we changed or a little of both.  Either way, the love affair ended and the search to regain that fantastic feeling we once had began. Is this that game for you?  Might be.  Hang in there for a piece and let the launch day dust settle.  These folks at Carbine have put together a really fantastic product and after the servers regain some balance you can know with certainty whether or not your search has come to an end.  For me it has.

			Well reasoned post.	
----
			
I haven't seen another post put some of my own thoughts to paper like this. *Tips imaginary hat*
 
Hopefully when the dust settles it will be as epic as I know this game to be. Maybe the search will finally be over...

			There are too many mmos and too many diverse people with shifting moods to believe people would limit themselves to "the one" mmo.     The one and only thing I believe is good about the f2p model is it allows players on a budget to maintain more than one game at a time.  They will move from mmo to mmo as their interests ebbs and flows with out worrying whether they are wasting subscription time.

I totally think that NCSoft didn't expect THIS BIG of a population spike.
I dig it. Hopefully they'll see all these people desperately trying to play the game and spend time in their world and will carefully craft and fine-tune it over the next few months to years and make something that will have some lasting presence.
Just from this fool's point of view if I did something like this and soooo many people were trying to play my game that queue times were this crazy it'd make me strive harder to bring a quality product.
Maybe i'm just talking to myself online but, whatever. I wanted to say this where other people could see it. Hahaha

It's first day of launch folks, halt your imagination for a second.
 
Even vanilla wow private servers (two of them) had queues over 2h long on launch day.
Over 10k people wanting to enter.
 
Seriously, launches are like this. Massive, buggy, annoying but always fun :)
I'm enjoying this initial hype and I'm glad to have opportunity to try another MMO.

To be honest, I am just seeing this as "another one" and not "that one".
 
I imagine there are a lot of people who are just giving it a whirl out of curiosity and not much else.  It is free now after all, so even if they don't plan on putting much time into it, they probably figure it doesn't hurt to have a peak at it.
 
I know there will be players hoping it will be "that one", but there were a lot of players hoping it would be "that one" first time round as well.

			Agreement with both of these posts. I'm a long time MMO player, and there's just nothing for me to play right now. There's a couple games that I am really looking forward to next year, but until then, what am I to do? I'm not looking for "the one" in this game. It seems to me to be a very familiar style MMO, nothing game-changing, but very polished and I like that. I could see myself playing it up to 50 and enjoying some end game until the next big thing rolls around. 	
----
			Agreed, and well put. With all the new changes to the system Wildstar is running much smoother than it did when I played last year, which was the reason I stopped playing (along with constant bugs that were never fixed but now are). Everything so far seems great and it's wonderful to see a bunch of people playing. Hopefully the vitriol from those who are upset about some of the launch issues will scale it back a bit because I would love to see this game flourish, it certainly has the capability to.

			I play a lot of mmo's and I like them all. I don't think any of them are the "one" I just play because of new xpac releases or content patches, it keeps me going. It always sucks when you hit that end game and there is nothing to do. So I go find something new. This just happens to be the newest. Anyway I did and do really like this game and now it's F2P! I'm sure this game will only get better from now on.

			Can we talk about how awesome that unreal tournament style multi kill announcer is? Hahah	
----
			No way really? I'll have to look out for the crypt keeper	
----
			if you like the multi kill announcer toggle on the crypt keeper.  he will ridicule you for dying.  its on toggle now because some people couldn't take it.
