WildStar is now FREE TO PLAY! :D

Pretty much that, since September 29th WildStar is now free to play, the free accounts don't have many limitations (unless you count the only 2 characters as one) compared to other freemium or free to play games. Some of us in GSCH are already getting together and play this wonderful game.

What changed? A lot changed! The tutorial is shorter and sweet, revamped all the attributes (is Moxie for healing? damage? depends on class? BAH! :p), reworked the roles (everyone can dps now, roles are more either Tank or Healer), reworked the crafting (now is more intuitive).

Where are we? North America Region, Entity 2 servers :3 If you are in Europe you can now hop regions without any problem, you will get your perks for being a subscriber/prepurchaser as in EU servers, you just need to roll new characters :D

Voicecomms? Voicecomms! GSCH GameVox server has a Spiffy WildStar channel right in the "Other games" list near the bottom. Just before AFK! :D

PROTIP: If you are Free-to-Play you get only 2 character slots, if you roll 2 characters on those slots on Entity 1, and then roll 2 new characters on Entity 2, by the time the tide of new player diminishes they will merge those two servers for a grand total of 4 characters! :D YES! That's right! Carbine let's you keep 2 extra toonies because of all this flood and new servers, how cool is that? Very cool. Just don't delete characters after the merge and everything will be Ok!

See you in game Space Cowboys!

Saucy time:

WildStar official page! Look, it says free to play and all :3

Official FAQ about the Merge and more

So now for the important question:   Is there any means (and motivation!) for characters at different levels to play together?  I gave up on ESO because the answer to that question was usually "no" and it was lonely. 

so what server is everyone on?

Izzy, probably on the PvE servers, whatever the name is.  I would guess exile faction mostly?  Not sure what Kitty plays more of... I rolled up toons, but haven't gotten very far with everything else.

Not to be rude but did you guys read Kitty's post? She mentions the server we are playing on :(

@Shmi.

YES! :D You can play with lower level players, mentor them so you can be at their level and level up as they do! :D

Entity 2, yes :3

Ah.  Entity as a server name.  I was somehow thinking of it as Entity = X server.  As in, Entity 1 being X server name 1 (I know that they copied the names, and just put 1 and 2 at the end.)

My mistake there!  Also, for some reason it seems my game was pointing me to the EU servers.  Very odd, considering I am firmly in the U.S.  Thus Entity did not sound familiar when I thought of server names.

Thanks for clarifying!

Did you make sure to change your region in the launcher to u.s.? Maybe for some reason it put you in eu. There is a cog at the top right of the launcher window where you can change your region :)

Yeah, I changed it now that I realized it... :P

Do we have a guild/circle?

We could make one, the thing is we need to speak to Fog about what name we can or can't use.

There are 2 servers in total, 1 pve, 1 pvp. The problem was that with the free to play they had to open new temp servers, called <name of the server> 2. As soon as the hype dies down a bit, they will merge those servers with the parent server.

Confusing? Yes :v Entity 2 has less lag than entity 1 because it's new and mostly has new players.

I plan to create a guild shortly here for the Streams of Epic Adventure episode we'll be doing on this one. Just need to find the time to play and I'm currently slammed on other projects atm.

Is there a confirmation that we should go Exiles Fog?  Or should we be rolling Dominion?

Usually Fog likes to play as the good guys :3

He prefers the tree-hugging hippies (good or bad is relative on how you feel about them), so in this case, yes I can guarantee it will be the Exiles. (my preferred WS faction as well, though I typically prefer the bad dudes)  ;) 

Dominion is more like a soviet-style militocracy.

I think there is literally a tree hugging race on Exiles, which correct me if I'm wrong Fog but that is 90% of what celts are about.  

Hey... just gotta verify :P

LOL yea, they're the Aurin (also my favorite race, other than the Chua, which are sadly, Dominion).  That's why I made that tree-hugging hippy joke.  :D

I like Chua because they are like Furry angry inquest Asura :3

Chua are actually very happy critters, they're just muy loco.  Which is probably why they're so happy... they love chaos and destruction!  :D

I have a level 15 Exile on Entity-2, already friended Kitty. If you want to add me, my IGN is Will Mono.

Have fun, cupcakes!

Still working my way to the guild creation guy. I believe I need to be 16 anywho and i'm currently 8.

IGN: Renny Conchobair & Benjamin Foghladha

um oh snaps wildstar for free! :D

I think I have a level 16 but I'm not Fog so if I created a guild I'd go mad with power and have to be put down by a scrappy band of rebel fighters that had a roguish outlook but heroic demeanor and also an entertaining but occasionally useful pet animal that possessed human-like intelligence.  So I guess we'll wait until Fog catches up.  

Is there a circle though?

We should totally make a Circle! :D

Wait, Entity-2?  That's a temporary server.  Not sure why you created there instead of Entity.  I'm on Entity, been on there for ... well, no idea because they merged server stuff and that's where they put my toons.

Yes, Entity 2 is a temporary server that will be merged with Entity 1. Since most new players are there, and there is less lag, we rolled the toons over there. No toons will be deleted or harm in the merge process :3

Ok, I managed to locate some posts about this, so now have a better understanding of what happened.  Unfortunately, I can't seem to find an ETA on when they'll go back to megaserver... so hmmm.

I'll see about an invite sometime... I am managing a little time here and there to play, although it certainly isn't a lot!

same im on entity 2 account nickname MareanLumia

I have the game and a bunch of toons on Entity but it has been so long since I played but I created 2 toons now on Entity-2 - will look for you in game or on vox.

Good news! We finally got a guild called GSCH in Entity 2 server on the Exiles side :3

Crusher and I have picked up this game to try it out while we wait for GSCH's next grand adventure.  I sent Friend Requests to people if you happen to see me online say hi and see if you can get me in the guild.  We're on Entity 2 server

Exiles

Hey Atalle! :D

I got your account friend request and added you as an account friend. Do give me a shout if you see me online so I can give you an invite to the guild.

Why is this game not included in the Adventures list? Seems like there are a few who play.

It is.  Right side, 3rd down.
