What does age have anything to do with it? I'm 22, I started playing Everquest in 2000...so I've been playing MMOs for almost 13 years. Honestly, I could care less about the graphics. The game just looks fun, it obviously doesn't have anything that is super mind blowing. There are things that I don't like about it...like hard factions...but even TESO has that.
It honestly seems to be an 'upgraded WoW'. And I'm okay with that, I find WoW boring now because of the combat system and other things (after playing games like GW2 and Tera the standard combat just feels boring). This game seems to be adding just enough 'new' stuff in combination with old good stuff.
And hey, maybe I won't like Wildstar...but I'll still buy it and at least play it for a month or two...same with TESO. I've pretty much bought and played every single major MMO that has been released. Everquest and WoW are still the only ones that I have played for more than two years...and honestly the two that I consistently go back to. At this point I don't really expect MMOs to be good enough to hold my attention like EQ and WoW had. This game though has grabbed my attention because it looks polished (the animations seem on WoW levels, which I consider WoW to still have the most fluid animations out there), it seems to have an excellent dev team and like I said above...good combination of 'new' and old stuff.
