This game still remains as my favorite MMO of all time. Actually having to think and move and do stuff in all content was such a great change of pace compared to other MMO's. It also had the best housing I've seen in a game, ever.
Wildstar needs to come back! The Gameplay, the artstyle and the characters where so awesome! we really need this gem back, somehow, please! It was one of the best MMORPGs, even if short lived. It deserves another chance!

Favorite MMORPG to this day. No other game has ever made me create so many characters just to experience it over and over again. I believe action combat is infinitely better than tab-targeting in MMORPGs, and WildStar still did it the best. It definitely had its issues. But just like Anthem, there's a beautiful skeleton at the very least, and it would be an injustice to the gaming world to never use it again. No other game exists like it, despite the clear hunger for it - not because it wasn't loved enough, but because it goes against today's norms of putting in the least effort for the most reward. If WildStar never returns, especially considering what has come out in the past five years and how other games have been revived to show it's possible, then I would officially consider MMORPGs to be dead. Please bring back WildStar. Thank you.

One of my top 4 MMOs of all time, I have such fond memories of questing in this game and such a unique system of community building and professions with exploring . I would play this immediately if they ever brought it back.

A lot of care was put into the art and character of this game. Everything was so intentionally beautiful and expressive. It was a shame that it died. Also l remember the elaborate party games people somehow were able to make functional in their intricately designed player housing. I haven't seen anything like that before or since.

Omg it would be amazing to experience Wildstar again-- the music, the characters, the community, the engaging combat, just an all-around GOOD game. I truly believe it could hold up in today's MMO market. Wildstar still has the best housing system, hands down.

The vibe of this game is unmatched. I just want to learn more about this world! The lore in game needs to be explored more! The combat was fun as hell and made it a bit more skill based than some other MMORPGs. Bring it back by any means possibly please!

Wildstar was amazing and had major hiccups on release when it was switched to free to play and had a soft re release it was too late! It’s the level or hardcore and fun everyone is wanting now! It was an amazing memory for me and my friends back in 2014 and the few years it was out back then! There’s a small community building a private server but nothing is close to what could happen with a big backer!
The end game raiding is peak. Grouping up to gold run dungeons was so much fun, you had to be perfect. Building on your own plot was so satisfying. Bring WS back 🙏
The player owned housing, warplots, the transmog system, adventures, environment design, atmosphere, paths, raids, the soundtrack.... all top of the line passion project stuff from former World of Warcraft talent. A brilliant IP bursting with personality... warehoused seemingly arbitrarily after a series of bad decisions from ncsoft.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.

Cabela's North American Adventures
Cabela's North American AdventuresCabela's North American Adventures introduces fresh touches that hunters will appreciate, including a custom gun builder that allows players the ability to create thousands of gun options with a variety of receivers, stocks, barrels, and scopes. The game also capitalizes on the popularity of hunting shows and online videos by adding a cameraman into gameplay - to get compelling footage, hunters need to be at their best! Also, for the first time in franchise history, up to four friends can hunt together online at once (Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3). Once the hunt is done, friends can share their scores through online leader boards for bragging rights.

Dungeon Master
Dungeon MasterDungeon Master established several new standards for role playing and computer games in general. Dungeon Master was a realtime game instead of the traditional turn-based approach that was prevalent until then. Instead of using text-based commands to interact with the environment, players directly manipulated objects and the environment by clicking the mouse in the enlarged first-person view. Abstract Dungeons and Dragons style experience points and levels were eschewed in favor of a system where the characters' skills were improved directly via using them. It also introduced some novel control methods including the spell casting system, which involved learning sequences of runes which represented the form and function of a spell's effect. For example, a fireball spell was created by mixing the fire symbol with the wing symbol. This kind of attention to detail and focus on the user interface was typical of the game and helped create an often captivating sense of craft and ingenuity. Other factors in immersiveness were the then-revolutionary use of sound effects to indicate when a creature was nearby, and (primitive) dynamic lighting.
