Hey there!
 
I've never posted on the forum before, so I'm sure this isn't exciting to anyone. Pft. /joking/ 
 
Anyway, I picked up Wildstar on release because the marketing and lore really appealed to me. A sci-fi adventure story set in the middle of a conflict over a planet previously owned by an advanced technological society? And whatever the hell Chuas are? I was in the minute I had the box in my hand at the store. Given this was my first MMO, I didn't really know what to expect. For those of you who have been gaming a long time, maybe you don't remember, but there are a looot of myths about MMO culture, and my biggest concern was whether the community would be friendly, welcoming, and not full of internet trolls getting a rise off of screwing someone's day up. That and if the gameplay would be too difficult without other people to play with. Starting the game, I was pretty nervous that was going to be my experience, and to Wildstar's credit, it wasn't my experience. I found groups to help me with group dungeons, and I was able to go on solo missions without dying instantaneously (although, I died, a lot). The Path system was really appealing to me, as I'd rather spend my time exploring the universe and gathering lore than anything else. I thought the story missions were entertaining, and, as an artist myself, the art style and animation made me extra, extra happy (cookies to the devs, ya'll created a good looking universe). 
 
I was planning on coming back a long time ago, to give Wildstar some more attention. Unfortunately, that was around the time I started noticing a lot of talk about how the population was barren, and servers looked like massive ghost towns with no one running around in them. I was a little nervous about coming back to a game that was supposedly dying, even if I enjoyed it as much as I did. Then the talk of the megaservers, and I think an update in November last year came around? Either way, the doom and gloom talk kept be back for a while. I started noticing more positive talk this time around when looking into the game, and that peaked my interest again. I figured now was as good a time as any to get back to Nexus, make a new character, get back into the scheme of things, and have some fun. >> 
 
So, for now I'm only on my 7-day pass that was e-mailed to me, but as soon as I can within the next week or so, I'm planning on resubbing. Hopefully this time I'll get to experience some more content. :'D I figured joining the forum was a good start.

			Ha, we have a pretty similar return story give or take a detail. Luckily two of my friends wanted to return too and we're having a blast being back in the game.

Same here, used the 7 free days, remembered how much I enjoyed playing and went ahead and subbed again. I'm having a good time with the game and with the community here on the forums. 
 
Welcome back to the game! This was linked elsewhere when I first came back and I like to pass it along to other returning players. It's a good summary of what was added in drop 3 and what's coming with drop 4 in hopefully 4-5 weeks (no definite date yet).

Wooo! More returning players! :D
 
Take your time and enjoy all the game has to offer. :) Lots of great stuff has been added, and drop 4 is shaping up to be even better.

			Nice welcome back to  the game. The next drop will also work on some of the bad stuff u heard about and if u didn't make it that fare u have a lot to do till the new patch is out. Nice seeing old players coming back.

Welcome back!

Thanks for the welcome, ya'll! 
 
It's good to see that the community still has a welcome atmosphere. c': I appreciate the heads up regarding drop 4. I'd heard about it loosely, but haven't had the opportunity to delve into the details just yet. That's been first on my priority list, aside from seeing all of the other stuff that I missed over the course of my absence, so all of the info is awesome for me.

			Yay welcome fellow returnee! :D

Welcome back! 
 
Just a piece of advice for you, don't always take everything you read online to heart. If YOU are enjoying playing the game, then play! 
Most of the negativity lately comes from the lack of PvP updates (which is true, unfortunately), but if your main focus is the lore and PvE aspects, then this game is worth every penny right now! (And even more so with the upcoming patch - Drop 4)
