Hello,
 
We do already currently have a few posts about population and players here in General, so instead of creating a brand new topic about something that's already under discussion, I'm going to ask you please post in the already active threads. :)
 
Thank you

Hello there everyone :)
 
I was just wondering what happened to this game.. i mean, wen the game was in closed Beta everyone kept talking about how good this game was gonna be, people doing everything they could to get their hands on a Beta key even if it ment selling their moms for it, always tons of streams online on twitch...
 
And then the game was released, Wildstar on Twitch boomed, this game was so popular, i had such high hopes for it...
 
But now it just seems dead, what exactly happened? Did i miss something?
 
I love MMO's, but most of them are complete crap, the only one i seemed to really enjoy was WoW, but after so many years of it even WoW got stale and boring. wen i first played Wildstar in the Beta i was so happy finally a kick-ass game thats fun and puts all the rest to shame!
 
Makes me kinda sad to see the community so small :(
 
With that said, i was just really wondering if something had happened, no matter what im sticking with wildstar till they close the servers :)

What happened?
 
People realized this game was not the smooth sailing they hoped it was. The game actually required some effort to get into it and to play end-game.
The game also has a bit of a grind factor, and a lot of people seemed to be displeased by the RNG factor, requiring someone to invest time.
Let's not forget that a part of the fanbase just hopped around between WoW-Expansions and never had the intention to stick around.
 
Another part of the community could not handle the fact that this is a new game and requires time to mature.
Bugs and issues turned people away as well.
 
The people sticking around are the core of WildStar, and those who see the potential.
We're just waiting for Carbine to finally fix the problems and turn this game into what it's supposed to be.
