Do we know what Exile PVE server we will be landing on? I've got Archeage for all the PvP I'll ever need.

The actual server names haven't been released. They've said that they'll give the final list 24-72 hours before headstart. Only server being kept is Nexus however that's going to be their PTS server.

I think Wildstar will be a financial success but if it isn't a resounding success I think it's safe to assume this kind of MMO is dead for the time being.

Wildstar is basically the last American one of this sort I think, wild success (it won't be) or not. If Blizzard was going to make wow2.0 they would have already. They made Diablo3 and then scrapped their Mysteryware upon seeing the popular reaction to the RMAH. Sony is pulling away from this sort of mmo in favor of minecraft + storybricks. Curt Schilling is an object lesson in how to efficiently squander a few tens of millions of dollars. TOR was the camels straw I think, scared off investors. It's already a shaky high risk investment to begin with... and if Star Wars + The Golden Child name "Bioware" won't deliver moneyhats...

Plot a course for decades of shovelware garbage!

Engage!

I'm not too broken up about it. Obviously throwing money at MMO's doesn't do anything except for encourage banality and mediocrity.

Wildstar might actually be better if they'd had less of a budget. It really is crazy how long they've been working on this game and how many start from scratch rebuilds they've done. They let the perfect become the enemy of the good.

Yep, all those AAA MMOs (GW2/SWTOR/ESO/WS) we have seen released the last 2 years were started when? 2008-2009? When WOW was growing beyond even the wildest dreams of Blizz themselves, and investors saw only the boatloads of money Blizz made... this "Phase" is over now.

The Next Phase are Minecraft-inspired sandbox-MMOs...

So, just out of curiosity who is going to be the gavelmaster here and say whats what when we hit headstart? As far as the final decision for which side we're playing on.

I too would like to know. My group has a faction preference for Dominion but isn't married to it. Just want to roll with a crew. The sooner I can tell them the faction the better. If you look at the poll it is fairly split.

what "kind" are you referring to? I'm hoping it bombs and twitch gameplay dies a quick, painful death since it has no business being in an MMO.

SO just because you don't like twitch gameplay it has no business being in a MMO? You should go be a apprentice developer for Pantheon then.

I am just the opposite, I'd take tera style combat all day over generic locked tab-target.

I don't mind either type of combat to be honest. As long as I'm enjoying it. I've seen good and bad combat of either type, so it's not like 1 type is inherently better.

How could you possibly prefer old generic MMO combat to Wildstar combat? It makes no sense. One is engaging and fun and the other is generic MMO combat.

Which is engaging and fun? sounds like a matter of opinion. WS combat just didnt appeal to me so its all about your taste.

Anyone know if you need to take any extra steps beyond registering your purchase of the game to have access to the headstart?

I put the code in from my Gamestop receipt, I guess that's all I need to do for the time being. Not sure, honestly. -_-
