== Content ==
			As a vet of these mmorpgs, for some reason this one feels fresh enough to actually pull me in, I am really enjoying it, its just deep enough I think.	
----
			eq1 and coh yes, never tried eq2. 	
----
			Eq1 and Eq2 vet here also played almost every mmo out there . I really enjoy Wildstar have not got to play much tho since I have thew flu its hard to sit at the computer lol	
----
			
I didn't play City of Heros
 
I liked EQ when it first came out because there was little competition, and the servers were full and vibrant. This game is superior tough, for obvious reasons, having to do with time.
 
EQ2 imo, was superior to this game (in it's heyday)  in every aspect except combat.
 
There are many other games that do a portion of what Wildstar does better than Wildstar. and they are not as good as Wildstar in some areas.
 
right now...I can log into all of them that are still running, and have a good time, if I choose. I can not do that ATM in Wildstar.

			I remember playing EQ1 on dial up lol Still didn't lag as much as this game :P

Thanks for mentioning City of Heroes and causing me to remember I can't play it anymore!
 
Seriously though, this game seems pretty decent (haven't played much due to obvious issues no one needs me to harp about) but kind of has that new-game-tons-of-kinks feeling that often had me leaving CoH for a few months and then coming back once something changed, got fixed or was added.
 
Like I get the reason behind all races not being all classes due to animation issues whilst trying to launch the game, but I'd been waiting to play Wildstar based on the trailers I saw years ago mostly to play bunny chicks but the only classes I really think I'd like the most are Engineer & Medic.  And the other races are too ugly or seen-this-before bland humans.  Seriously why make so many ugly races in an escapist-fantasy game?  Detouring sorry.
 
Other than lack of documentation (on just about everything) however the game does seem interesting thus far.
 
It's no City of Heroes/Villains however.
 
And Champions didn't really fill the void like I'd hoped it would.
 
So uh yea.

			EQ2 vet here, Played EQ1 as well but not for too long due to circumstances. Also a little bit of CoV, but not enough to ever be able to compare Wildstar to this game. Also kind of a Wildstar vet (vanilla Wildstar, teheheh.. I'll show myself out) From an EQ2 perspective, Wildstar is odd: it is a lot more humorous and much quicker paced, but still is able to hit the same nerve thanks to the depth of its lore and the fact that the writers took their task exceptionally serious. Digging it a lot.	
----
			I still play eq and eq2, and I am trying to love this game. It has it's moments, but it seems to have no soul.	
----
			
I still play EQ2 every now and then. I did enjoy City of Heroes, there is another game currently being developed similar to City of Heroes.
 
Love is a bit of a strong word though. Me and this game have had a few issues over this past year. I enjoy it but it's more of a platonic friendship than love.	
----
			
Only ever made it to about level 15 or 18 or so in EQ2, but I had over 40 alts in City of Heroes before they shut that one down.
 
I tried City of Heroes' successor, Champions Online, but I was there at its launch when it had no group content other than some 'find another player to do this quest with' 5 minute quests in the starter zone... so I left, and by the time I got back it was severely 'pay to win'...
 
Wildstar though, has the right magic of MMO elements. My current games are pretty much this and FFXIV, with an occasional log in to Guild Wars 2 to see if there's any reason to log in again... O.o

8 year vet of CoH (freedom server)...
 
Love W*
 
EDIT: When CoH closed down I actually was a little depressed over it. I didn't play anything else for month's, I just couldn't. It felt like I lost a close friend or something.
 
I've been watching the development of City of Titans. It seems to be taking longer than what I expected it to, or at least want it to. I tried Champions but it just wasn't the same, it didn't grab me like CoH did. The CoH community was, what I believe to be one of the most friendly, helpful and all around best of any I have ever experienced.

			I used to play CoH/V. Protector & Virtue servers! It was my first MMO, and boy do I miss it. Tried Champions Online, but stopped playing after the free month and when I went back, I didn't like the F2P model.	
----
			CoX Virtue here...liking the game a lot so far	
----
			Yea I also disliked champions by far the game just is not visually appealing for powers and such, and does not have the group mechanics or classes of coh. Anyways wildstar feels kind of like coh with other elements from games I enjoyed.	
----
			I swore after what NCSoft did to COH I wouldn't give them any more time or money, but my girlfriend talked me into trying beta for WS. We got in, and haven't left since. That being said, I enjoy Wildstar but it doesn't have my heart like CoH. I know deep down I can't give as much, because NCSoft will at some point kill this game, probably sooner than it deserves. I'll shed a tear, then move on to another game. I still miss CoH to this day though.

I recently went back to eq2 to play on the "time locked" servers.
 
After playing Wildstar everything else just feels like playing in slow motion.
 
That is probably no.1 reason why i like Wildstar (when it works )

			City of Heroes Freedom server, reporting in. Still my favorite MMO of all time.

I'm a vet of EQ2 (11 yrs, beta, launch) and City of Heroes (beta, launch, moved to EQ2 when CoH changed things).  I love the combat and other things of game play. 
 
Sure, in EQ2 there are 100 levels, lots of content and lore.  But I really really dislike the new way of pay for content etc.  I understand why, but...bleh.  I went back and...yah, it just didn't feel fun.  You don't dodge much, you stand there, no combat movement and when you do casting is stopped if your skills were spells.  I find fighting just boring.  Wildstar has spoiled me with running, jumping, dodging in fighting.
 
Yah, only 50 levels, but even though I've gone through with three to L50, I still find it fun.  For me it's how the class plays, each is different.
 
So, yes, I'll wait patiently for Wildstar to settle down.  I've played since pre-launch beta, during the year, pre-Reload beta, and a bit on live when I could get in.  For me, it's worth waiting for, yes.
