WildStar just went F2P yesterday with much of the game being revamped.

My biggest disappointment with the game was the fact no one ever ran any dungeons while leveling because they took far too long, were far too hard for average players, and most folks gave up before the final boss was downed. As such, I've yet to see a single dungeon in the game. In nearly 20 years of playing MMORPGs, I have *never* reached max level with zero dungeons ran. I was...so frustrated.

In addition, crafting was felt pointless (and quite expensive), and despite the open world, the game was extremely linear so alts weren't exactly fun either (a major weakness, second only to running dungeons as a healer).

None of my concerns are really mollified now, but, hell, it's F2P so I figured I'd hop back in and see what was what. They also promised much more class balance.

Anyone else planning on giving it a second (or first) look over the next few weeks?

Yeah, had a 5-hour queue time wait tonight. Can't get passed the character creation screen. Sits there for 30 mins with nada. Oh well.

Really unbelievable that in their hour of hopeful redemption, their "megaserver" only has one US PVE option. Having 3,000 people in queue is nutso. Megaservers are pointless when they're administered so poorly. TSW has that stuff down pat. ESO did well after the first couple of weeks. Lots of good examples of games doing it right. Unfortunately, they have a very limited window to get folks interested again.

Connecting phone and pc via teamviewer. Launch ArcheAge at 3 p.m. in order to play at 6 p.m. lol

Anyways WildStar never got me hooked so I won't bother trying it

What games actually got you hooked that you're going back to try?

Their relaunch to F2P has been a cluster f*ck. Worst MMO launch pretty much ever (and I've been to dozens of them), which is terribly sad given they needed a successful F2P game to keep the doors open.
