I Will Miss You Wildstar. You Have Enriched My Life Tremendously. Because Of Wildstar, I Got To Meet

I will miss you Wildstar. You have enriched my life tremendously. Because of Wildstar, I got to meet some incredible people. I even made some friends too! (Sorry we don’t really talk guys!) Wildstar will always be in my heart and I will forever love my Chua.

But cheers to all those good memories over the years. Thank you for making such a fantastic game Carbine. I wish all the luck to each and every one of you glorious people.

Do you ever get that feeling?

I feel like this a lot about my friends.

I have made a thing.

My heart hurts at the news of Wildstar being shut down and Carbine Studios shutting their doors for good. Just- Wow. I think I’m in that still numb state of finding out the news, but also knew it was inevitable. Still, despite all of the management issues, being a new studio, and releasing a fresh unknown IPA? Carbine did amazing things with Wildstar and no one can take that away from them. Wildstar is honestly my favorite MMO I’ve ever played and I can’t see it changing. From Alpha stress tests, to when the servers finally go dark Nexus will always be a place of wonder to me. The energized combat, gorgeous and vibrant levels, tongue in cheek humor, top-notch housing where Carbine let their players get as creative as possible, and the overall feel of the game as a whole has left a lasting impression on me and I’ve enjoyed all of my time playing Wildstar. I want to remind everyone that this isn’t the end. Not for your stories, your characters, or the friendships you have made. None of the stories you’ve written or the bonds you formed are going away. The house plots might be gone and the servers quiet, but none of those memories are gone. I certainly had some of my best MMO and RP experiences in Wildstar. I created my favorite OC, made entire zones in housing, met countless awesome people and made plenty of new friends along the way. hell, Wildstar helped me find the guy I’m going to end up marrying in a few years. So yeah, it was an awesome time and I don’t regret any of it. I’m not going to stop doodling and writing Sly or my other trash OCs or musing what they might be up to. I’m not going to close my Wildstar tumblrs and I’m certainly not going to stop enjoying all the creativity and wonderful art people have put out. It’s all bittersweet right now, but I’m not going anywhere. I’m gonna keep doing my thing and I’ll happily lend writing, plotting, level design, or RP to those still wanting to explore Nexus in new projects be them forums, RP groups, private servers, or what have you.

I don’t see the point of being secretive and ashamed all the time. If family holds you back, it’s gotta be your goal to leave so you can be yourself. Friends don’t accept you? The whole basis of friendship is being with people you can co-exist with. Anything like that prevents you from living in peace. A lot of people are optional. Beliefs are optional. I don’t like surrounding myself with people who seem like they could crack at any second - those kinds of friendships seem selfish because they can leave you at any moment and they don’t care if it hurts you. They’re more worried about what the people judging them are thinking. No one enjoys watching you suffer either. There are people who want you to fit into their image of the world, and there are people who just want you to be happy.
