So I decided to come back to Wildstar.  And I like the changes so far.  I don't like the crafting system still.  It's extremely tedious and cooking is just down right awful.
 
After I having said that I still love the game.  What I don't like is when I came back and the servers were all humming along nicely.  So I plopped down close to a hundred bucks on 6 months subscription.
Well technically I only wanted 1 3 month but they billed me twice.  :( 
 
And now the server lag is horrendous.  I mean it's nearly unplayable.  Will there be any compensation for paid subscribers this is simply horrible.  I mean you can't actually reap any of the benefits of a subscription model if you can't play the game.
 
Overall I really hope the Wildstar team puts up some big bucks and hires some outside contractors to fix these platform issues.  It's simply not a client to server issue.  It's a server issue.  
I feel like they have way to many events they are trying to process and the code or hardware simply can't handle it.  
 
Please fix soon...or I may be forced to cry.  
 
LOL

			Are "stupid" and "fanboy" the only options? They seem kinda harsh. 	
----
			I dont know about you but i am playing on an American  server from Asia and i not experiencing any lag at all

Don't ask for compensation.
 
For one it makes you come off as demanding, as though the money you opted to pay for their offered service wasn't giving you enough, and for two...they simply can't discuss it.
 
When there are problems going on that may or may not merit compensation it is not until these problems are dealt with and their severity determined by those working on those problems that they can determine whether or not there will be compensation and how much it will be.
 
They've been working on server issues ever since the free to play transition to deal with issues that a lot of people were having.  The number of people running into issues has dropped but there's still people having problems...as I'm sure you've no doubt noticed yourself.

One more because of Double Topic.

I've done 1-year subs since it was available. Don't even play all the time, but I do know this dev team loves their game and really do want to make everyone happy while trying to be profitable and I happily support anyone who is passionate about trying to create something special. Same reason i don't give blizzard anymore money (their art and music teams are still amazing though).
 
Not expecting any compensation. I am just happy there are a ton of people trying this game out. It's worth the lag and queues to try and establish a larger community who enjoys this game. I'd rather have a temporary 'meh i come back on when it isnt so crowded' than 'where the heck is everyone?'
 
It will get knocked down to reasonable levels, just give it some more time.

So important you had to post it twice.
 
Here is my take on it, it won't be popular....
 
I've got zero sympathy for anyone complaining about paying for a subscription since free to play started.
 
The game flopped last year for a few reasons but one common factor was Carbine mishandling the game, lots of bugs and lots of mistakes. It was quite common knowledge, enough places reported on it, you had to have been living under a rock not to have heard about it.
 
Eventually things ran smoother but by then the mass exodus had happened and most of the servers were ghost towns.
 
Roll on free to play launch and, yet again, we have issues. Even though we have issues I still see people throw money at it and then complain they aren't able to play or aren't getting their money's worth with the silly amounts of lag going on.
 
We had problems on day one. Anybody paying any money while problems were going on knew exactly what they were paying for. If you wanted to pay for decent servers with few issues you should have waited.
 
I find it really hard to muster any sympathy at all considering the problems going on.
 
I'm not going to abuse anyone and call them an idiot or a "fanboy" (I don't like that word, it's one of those "insults" I would expect to see children throw at each other) but everybody knew that Wildstar and Carbine were having issues and still paid. It's their own fault if they feel like they wasted their money.

Lol that's brutal.

			If you were accidentally billed twice you could just try and submit a ticket, asking for a refund of those three months.

If you are enjoying the game and spending the money isn't an issue I don't think you are either. I have just come back myself, haven't played in well over a year I believe I think I left at drop 3 or maybe it was 4..It was the strain drop that I stopped playing at so whichever one that was.
 
But I had only played stalker and medic... I've levelled a warrior and I am having a blast.. I still have heaps to learn and I'm still scared of vet dungeons but I'm actually enjoying the PVP something I never did before. I also want to raid so am looking for a guild currently. Plus hoverboards... are...awesome.

Both.
 
Can I pick "both?"
 
I'm going with both.
 
Stop saying both.
 
Both.

Well, I'm subbed until around summer 2017, guess that makes me a whale :P
 
I bought a lot of boxes to get access to the rewards such as the Osun house.. do I need to say I love housing ?! I love housing. ^^

			Relax... If you played everyday you know that wildlag was lag free whole week until yesterday. Something got screwed up and now were having problems. They're working on it now to fix it.
