This game is shockingly good. Way better than I expected . Of course if you don't like MMOs than you won't like it.

Im enjoying the game except for the part that their tough security system with IP addresses has forced me to spend more time trying to fix the issue and deal with it than play.
Any help on this would be useful. Does using that google autheticator make it better to play without these IP issues?

Its not the same... Wildstar was made for children look at the minimum age allowed to play....
i know gamers dont obey min age
but any mmo is supposed to be for 13 and up
the same 60 year old views ALL video games as kiddie stuff

I'd love to see a group of 8 year olds run the first level 20 dungeon :-)
Yes we know...dark dungeons...pandas...goblins...gnomes...taurens...pets...pet battles...yes very uncommon...very new...very adult things indeed.
Just for the record, I m 41 having 2 sons and i m enjoying WS with the older one (10 years old). Gameplay and content quality / quantity is my main focus when it comes to mmo's and WS dominates in both aspects.

RIFT has the same TEEN rating as Wildstar

As a person who played Wildstar throughout the betas, I can say the graphics are the least childish and obnoxious thing about the game. When they called it an "unapologetic theme park" it was an understatement. The game almost plays like it's a parody or satire of everything wrong with the genre.
If you can tolerate that, you can tolerate this game. I couldn't.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
This is a game made by WoW fanboys, for WoW fanboys. If all you ever want in a MMO is for it to be exactly like WoW but with cone and triangle combat instead of real visceral action, then this game is for you.
It's as if the devs spent years developing a perfect scifi WoW clone without a single original thought of their own. No risks were taken, no new ideas explored.
Speak for yourself. Everyone has played this game. They were giving beta keys for months. They even gave reminders "beta is still open come play!" A lot of people found out it was a "been there done that" type of game and chose to pass, including myself.

The game is so f$%^ awesome in all aspects . Period
Well done Carbine
Loving this game. I died for the first time after 10 levels and the place I rezzed at said " I see you have to get your death just right ". Then when I ported to my bind point it said " Oh it's you again we can't seem to get rid of you."
I actually laughed out loud at times when I came across some amusing reference to literature or another game and pokes fun even at itself. I am so glad I bought this game and I gave ESO a pass because it was so buggy I couldn't justify buying it but so far 'touch wood' Wildstar has been very smooth and I did not even suffer any queues playing on my Euro RP PvE server.
The thing I am hoping will totally engross me however is housing .
