WildStar infuses amazing stylized art with the latest technology to create a stunning visual experience

WildStar is an MMORPG set in a science-fiction / fantasy universe, taking place on a newly discovered planet called Nexus. The player will choose their faction between Dominion or Exile and learn about the planets former inhabitants, the Eldan, who have mysteriously vanished from the planet over one thousand years ago. Although the Eldan have vanished, whatever caused them to disappear still lingers on the planet.


WildStar infuses amazing stylized art with the latest technology to create a stunning visual experience. Set on a wondrous alien world, WildStar delivers a wild and mysterious adventure among the ruins of an advanced civilization - allowing you to play the way you want to play while experiencing an unprecedented level of exploration and discovery!

WildStar's business model is a hybridized. Carbine Studios will sell a monthly subscription for $15, while you can also use an in-game item called C.R.E.D.D. to earn game time. You can do this through buying it from other players using in-game gold or you can purchase it directly from Carbine Studios at the WildStar website for $20.

Fire up your starship and set the course to Nexus in Wildstar! The legendary homeworld of the long-lost Eldan civilisation has just been discovered and everyone in the galaxy is blazing a trail to the planet to uncover its many secrets. The powerful interstella empire known as the Dominion has claimed Nexus and all of its treasures, declaring war on the renegade Exiles who now call the planet their home. But as the war for control of Nexus heats up, an evil force is reawakened… turning this epic adventure into the ultimate fight for survival.

It's an ambitious concept derived from mountains of research about what people want from an MMO.

You won't all follow the familiar path of combat up through levelled ranks. You can pick to be an Explorer, Soldier, Scientist or Settler, and each will have its own very different gameplay pursuits and goals.

WildStar also rewards players for upping the challenge and, for want of a better phrase, taking on too much at once. WildStar takes place on the planet Nexus in a future fantasy world. The art style is clean, cartoon and, dare I say it, reminiscent of the omnipotent World of Warcraft.

If you're the kind of MMO player who couldn't give a hoot for world lore, nosing around distant caves or building communities, WildStar reckons you'll want to tread the path of Combat. Pick this one and your character, no matter their race or class, will be able to activate Horde Holdouts scattered across the world.

Basically, doing this provokes an on-the-spot public quest involving swarms of monsters eventually escalating to a boss fight. This means experience, loot and bloodshed, and none of that namby-pamby readin' or boring searchin' stuff. FIGHTFIGHTFIGHT. None of that grind either, in theory, but instead a series of intense battles activated at your behest.
