So this is my first time posting on the W* forums.
 
TL;DR : Story of my life. Just came back. Noticed others are coming back as well. Why?
 
I started the game around launch but quickly quit because paying for two MMORPGS was expensive.
I recently came back for various reasons, but mainly because WoW lost it's magic it originally had and (while I may be hated for what I am about to say) W* is the closest thing to WoW gameplay I could find.
I came back and noticed that I'm not the only one coming back. A lot of people seem to be coming back.
 
So my question to you ( if you came back ), why? I want to know your story. :)
 
Oh, I also made a guild on EU PvP server ( yes the one server that lacks people ). The guild is active! Come join! "House Gladstone"
 
Whisper William Gladstone in-game or any of the members online.

			Welcome back. Not in EU myself, but I wish you luck on getting a guild going on the PvP server.

Heya!  I tried the game at beta and it really didn't mesh at first,  I don't know if it was because I was coming off a giant WoW binge or what.   I followed the game pretty closely, and when I read the reddit thread with the supposed CRB employee leak, it really piqued my interest in the game again.  Reading about all the upcoming rumored improvements  (in my opinion) and changes, and reading about the low company morale really pushed me over the edge and I tried the trial again.  This time around I just fell in love.  Great aesthetics, lore, and the most technically satisfying combat I've ever had.  I went out and bought a few box copies to support WildStar, and Carbine even though there's the rumored payment model change.  The game's in a great place, and I feel it can only get better with an influx of population.
 
Now, back to farming that spider pet!

its a good effort to try to get luminai populated, but if being in a server not great populated minate your decition of staying in wildstar ill say to you go to jabbit level a char there before even thinking about abandoning nexus.
 
On other news welcome back i hope you have great adventures there.

hey, I came back to the game a few months ago, right before drop 4 came out. I was tired of wow and the guild i was in was failing due to very poor leadership. Our difference of opinions took me out of the game. I had never stopped loving wildstar and had stayed subbed even while i was gone so i decided to give it a go again. I already had Lady Yaz on Dominion so I decided to level an Exile this time ( the second time: beta ) I made it to max level got attuned and geared for GA in less than 4 weeks, almost 2 of those weeks was leveling.
 
I loved it, i for a moment thought it was because I was on Exile and I somehow had a better exp. I met up with some friends and played with them. When Drop 4 hit the vet shiphands came about and man o man i ground those out till my eyes bed, i had like 30 plat in one day. Needless  to say money wasn't an issue anymore.
 
I realized that runes, crafting, gear progression, etc etc etc had been fixed. The screams in beta had finally been heard. sadly it took nearly the death of the game for some of the devs to get their heads out of their butts.  I remember in beta arguing with Devs on the forums about class mechanics for say the engineer and them saying " we want it that way " well they got it there way, and everyone who played that class pretty much quit for a time.
 
After a bit of time I realized I wasn't enjoying Exiles as much as I  had hoped. A lot of the pug dungeons I got seemed to fail and there was a lot of drama and name calling. I got curious and logged on my Dominion... The city had more than 0 ppl at the AH >.> i was amazed.
 
Slowly but surly i watched the population on dominion grow ( based on staring at the AH once every 3-4 days ) Eventually I made the switch back to Dominion and it was such a load off. It felt like when u finally scratch and itch u have been holding back on LOL
 
With Drop 5 there was such a huge influx of players, there were over 200 ppl at scorchwing yesterday..
 
but ya the game has made some serious changes. there is more that needs to be done but they cant do it without funding. So i highly encourage everyone to get at least 1 friend to try the game. I go so far as to literally buy them the game to get them to try it LOL

			The F2P rumors and related hope of a near-future population boom made me miss the game enough to not wait for it and just resub, perversely enough.  :ph34r:

I didn't even know the game existed until I received an email from NCSOFT asking me to take part in the open beta last May. I looked down and one of the quotes from PC Gamer said "One of the greatest games of 2014" so I gave it a chance. I wasn't too impressed at first but then I got out of the tutorial on the ship and into the open world, I was blown away. The art style, setting, humour, combat, everything about the game I loved.
 
The one thing that put me off was the sub. I have always been against sub models and never played WOW as a result, I chose to play Guild Wars instead which came out a few months later (best decision I ever made, Guild Wars remains to this day my favourite game of all time). I came to the forums and read about the difficulty and catering to the "hardcore" and this was something that interested me further, so I decided to pre-order.
 
Unfortunately I moved home shortly after and I found very little time to play following launch, this continued until October where I unsubbed. I remember filling out the questionnaire and selecting very likely to play again, I knew I'd be back.
 
I trialed FFXIV over the Christmas period and although I think the game is excellent, it just isn't Wildstar. So here I am, I re subbed on Monday following my 10 day trial and I'm currently trying to figure out which class I actually like the best. They are all so fun but it sounds like the game isn't really alt friendly so I need to pick one. Also looking for a guild, but I'm not on the pvp server so I can't join yours :(	
----
			I just wanted to say that's really awesome of you to work on the pvp server like that. A+

I just started playing this game yesterday but like you I played WoW and just bored of it. their housing system is garbage and their community compared to WS is horrible nothing but trolls and Douche bags for the most part. My friend from WoW played WS when it launched and said it was garbage but seeing as how that was idk a year ago I assumed it gotten a lot better so I decided to try it out. pretty good game I am liking the questing and lore compared to WoW never cared much for WoW's lore too much to read not a lot of cut scenes and voice overs given they have so much money compared to this company yet this game provides that.
 
forums are also friendly I mean as a new player I typically don't get much help but players have been answering my questions pretty fast and efficiently in many games they don't even help noobs. wish people would talk more in game though but then again I am only level 2 and still in the starting zone so probably will meet more people later on in game that speak.

Hey Celbrise !
 
I just wanted to address the "people not talking much" part of your post. What server / faction are you on? Most people hang out in the player made global channels, so you should join those when you can.

Just came back. Noticed others are coming back as well. Why?

I was heavy on the bandwagon there at the beginning. Got my preorder deluxe edition and early access, and dove pretty hard into the game. What finally left me packing my bags was the emptiness of the servers and my guild becoming a ghost town.
 
Fast forward to about a month ago and I found out about the 10-day trial on the forums so I decided to give it a try. Chat's always moving, people coming back in droves, events popping, all sorts of activity. Been playing ever since.

Hi,
 
We met by chance ingame when we were both starting as noobish noob. I'm a member of House Gladstone now. I'm also "working" on Luminai's life, on a famous french forum :
http://forums.jeuxonline.info/showthread.php?t=1300015 (Wildstar subforum) and
http://forums.jeuxonline.info/showthread.php?t=1300206 (general MMOG forum).

			Yelb i am.

I agree with the fact that these forums seem to be a lot friendlier than WoW forums. :)

I left several months after launch, sort of lost interest in games in general.  I decided today to go for the 10 day trial to see how the population was and see if I could regain my interest, if so then I might subscribe till F2P.
 
Haven't gotten in yet, authenticator no longer installed on PC (no smartphone) so I have a ticket in to have the 2-step deactivated.  Sent all my info including game code so hopefully I'll be seeing you guys next week (I don't expect any response over the weekend).
 
Cheers.
