			Hello fellow Wildstar players!I have played the game this summer and got to around level 25 with my engineer.Awesome game!Then I took a break from MMOs in general.Now I am back and would like to know whether this game is still worth playing(are there enough people to play with?I hope the game is not dead).I´d like to continue playing on exile side on a PvP EU server.If yes,then could someone tell me the most important changes to the game that were made(I think I have read something about them adding raid difficulties or such...)?2 more things:Are tanks still in higher demand than DPS?I'd really like to reach elder game and tank dungeons+raids.And are there any good guilds(where I could do some cool stuff with others and also have fun) I should look for?Thank you!PS: I can post on the forums because I received 7 days worth of game time from the WildStar team.

Hi Good Game! Welcome back!! 
 
(kudos for playing an Engineer!)
 
1) Game isn't dead. A ton of bugs have been fixed, there's 2 new zones since launch, and many more improvements. It's still not as active as it was the first month or two, but it's definitely not "dead".
2) Unfortunately, the EU PvP server (Luminai) is the least populated (out of all 4 servers) at this time, but Luminai has a great community from what I hear, and they could always use more people to start re-populating the server! They even have their own website here: http://www.luminai.eu/
3) Tanks are ALWAYS in high demand :) Your queues for dungeons and adventures should be significantly lower than DPS and healers. 
4) If you're looking for a guild, you can always check the recruitment forums here: https://forums.wildstar-online.com/forums/index.php?/forum/267-eu-guild-recruitment-archive/
Or, being around Thayd: there's always guild recruitment in /zone chat.

The Unknowns is the only English guild on the exile side and we have quite a few players that are levelling so we run the lower level dungeons quite a lot actually.
We are in the progress with other guilds on the server to get enough people attuned to get a joined raid group started.
 
You can poke everyone from the unknowns for an invite, we try to be easy accessible and open for everyone. 
Mirta Wake is our leader but she is quite busy at the moment with her study and me (Elfarran Leaftear) will be on later tonight.
 
edit: for level 50 we run events with the circle where all the guilds are in, we often do world bosses and the 20 man events around Nexus and do some PvP against the Dominion.

Game is not dead. I don't think it has been as successful as they hoped, but is getting better all the time.
 
I think there are a lot of WS haters out there that have been offended by certain historical actions and positioning. (i.e. CoH closure and directly attacking WoW.)  Not trying to judge anyone, just seems to be the case when I read negative reviews, one of thosetwo points seems to be a driver of many negative reviews.
 
In comparison,  I can find all kinds of negative commentary on WoW yet they still have 7 millon players or whatever. In fact, some of the most negative opionions are written by people who have been with the game since lauch. So negative statements about design "flaws" need to be taken with a grain of salt. Obviosly someone has had like the game enough to invest a significant amont ot time to get to the point of building a deep and intricate feeling about the game.
 
So wheather it's WoW or WS, if you like to play it, then there must be other people who like to play it as well. Irreguardless of the stuff you see posted on websites, fire it up and have a blast.

			Welcome back! Game is fun and getting more fun each drop with QOL improvements and new stuffs to do :) Honestly, the only way to know if it's fun for *you* is to log on and play. Forum lurking won't really help you know what you like doing.

Game isn't dead. Then log on a EU server and try to do something , PvP, adventures, dungeon. Then we can talk how the game is a zombie. Don't forget EU has 1 server and if on that you can't find ppl on home town then something is wrong, don't post me about the 18:00 till 23:00 population, I don't care about them it is or better it was a mmo where for my taste there should be 24hours that amount online at home town. Log at night or morning and you can see how the population is, worse then a single player, where the RNG gods have left and let the keys at the door. 
I don't know about US servers but EU server has less people alive from walking dead.
As they didn't have huge time sinks they added more, you have crap reputation waste time sinks they had AMP and Ability(platinum sink) now they added rune shit, how much can you fail? Tell me they added so much runes that the stats from them can be more then the actual stat on it. Even on stats they failed, the game stats Are AP and main stat the rest if the item has some other stats it is OK no harm done. Make ffs soft caps increase required hit rating(lol strikethrought) to 12% min personal without any buffs/debuffs for GA increase the crit DMG from 170% to 240% so the crit chance does count somewhere. So AP would drop to 2k-2.5k. Remove runes or make blues 1 rune, purples 2 runes and yellows 4 runes but with 1/10 stats from average stat of all items and leave all runes to 100% aka 7-9 stat per rune.
But I know all this is dust in the wind, so play and if you enjoy the game play it till the end, up or down.
