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.
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.
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.
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival

ThunderhawkThunderhawk (AH-3 Thunderstrike in North America) is a combat flight simulator video game developed by Core Design and released for the Amiga and DOS in 1992, for the Sega CD in 1993 and for Microsoft Windows in 1996. In the game the player flies a fictional AH-73M attack helicopter.
The game consists of several campaigns for each one of ten world areas. The campaigns are themed around real events or activities in these areas (e.g. escorting a UN humanitarian convoy during the Bosnian War, fighting pirates in the South China Sea, etc.)
A typical campaign consists of four or five missions. Each mission has a primary objective that must be completed to successfully complete the mission, there are other targets in each missions such as tanks and SAM launchers but these are only used to help the player boost their score. The primary target is usually a major structure like an enemy base or a bridge.
Usually the player is equipped with a standard set of weapons - 16 missiles, 76 rockets, and a machine gun with unlimited ammunition. On some special missions the rockets are replaced by a weapon that is critical to the success of that particular mission, such as a runway cratering system when the primary objective is to destroy an airbase or a bomb when destruction of a bridge is the primary objective.
The control system for Thunderhawk was fairly unique for the platforms supporting a mouse. It used the mouse for basic control, plus some keyboard input for rarely used commands. Moving the mouse would tilt the helicopter in the specified direction, and make it start moving in that direction. Pressing the left mouse button fires weapons. When the right mouse button was held, moving the mouse up and down changed altitude, while side to side yawed the helicopter side to side.Action
Tahl: Uncover the Evil Within"Tahl": Uncover the Evil Within is an isometric action RPG dungeon crawler where the player fights against hordes of ghosts and demons from East Asian mythology using point-and-click controls. There is no safe hub, so the player has to survive using the loot gained from enemies alone. This makes the game close to a roguelike, even though the dungeons are not randomly generated.Action Fantasy
