I'm on the fence about Wildstar... This game sounded awesome but I've been playing the beta for a few weeks and I just haven't been as hooked on it as I had hoped I would. I'm just not having as much fun as I was hoping. I am intrigued by the housing system (which I haven't played yet) as it sounds a lot like the housing system in Star Wars Galaxies, which was amazing, but the rest of the game... I just haven't found anything that really sucks me in. I was really hoping there would be something that grabbed me and made me think "I have to buy this game!" but so far I haven't really found anything like that. Everything I've played so far has been okay, fun, but nothing has made be think "wow, this is really awesome".
I really wanted to love Wildstar, and I still want to love it, and I want to play it, but... so far I just haven't found a good reason to play it. I wish I could, I really do... One thing that is holding me back is the player species, I don't really like any of them, and the bland character customization is another setback for me because I really, really enjoy deep character customization...
I wish that this would have been one of those MMOs where you buy it and than can play for free (albeit with add-ons and such that you might purchase separately), but as it stands I can't find anything to justify a monthly fee... I have no problem paying a monthly free but so far I just can't find a good reason to pay it in Wildstar. Like I said, I really wish I could find a good reason, I'm in desperate need of a good MMO and would love to get into this game... Granted it would probably be much more fun if I had friends that played it but I don't know anyone who plans on playing it, nor do I know anyone who plays MMOs in general...
