With the closure of WildStar it left many of us without somewhere to call home. To that end, with the community in mind Gazimoff created MMORPG.Social, a social network using Mastodon for all of us who love MMOs!
Mastodon means it’s ad free and not controlled by a company with their own interests in mind, no sweeping changes leaving our community out on it’s own. Let’s really turn this into somewhere MMO lovers can call home when they aren’t in Azeroth or Eorzea
More of my interpretations for the Eldan portraits! I used clues from the game and arrived at this possible look; tried to present their personalities through the visual design.
I just wanted to make a short post about this topic since it’s on everybody’s minds. Because there is reason to believe that NCSoft may go to excessive lengths to “protect” its IPs, this blog will not be linking to or talking about specific private servers or local sandboxes, simply to help protect these services. While I’m not so full of myself as to think this humble blog is on NCSoft’s radar, at the same time I’d rather not take the risk of getting someone in trouble.
Taking a break from working on the 5e Wildstar playable races to work on some base Ikthian monsters. Wheee~ Gonna include the concept Ikthian monsters, Ironclaw, (Designed by Jeff Merghart) the Ikthian Sharkanoth, (Designed by Johnson Truong) and the Cortex Analyzer~ (Designed by David Sladek)
Do not delete/uninstall Wildstar if you want to play on a private server. If you’ve already deleted, just run the launcher. The patch servers are allegedly running as of right now still so you can download the game. Do this immediately, as nobody knows when they will go down
.
In case you already have deleted it but want to download it again this address works (at the moment):
wildstar.patcher.ncsoft.com/WildStar.exe
Copy/paste and boom.
While privately hosted games do eventually get their own installers sometimes, it can’t be expected at the start, so this is important to remember.
For anyone who’s feeling silly about getting emotional over the loss of Wildstar, I talked about it with a friend who doesn’t play MMOs, and also expressed the same thought, and here’s what she had to say:
“It was a big part of a lot of peoples’ lives and they invested a lot of time into it, found and maintained friendships because of it. It’s natural to feel sad just like with any big change to someone’s life. Psychologically speaking it would be the same as being forced to move out of a town you’ve lived in for, what, 10 years? Real or virtual, it doesn’t matter to your brain. So yeah, it’s okay and totally understandable to feel lost right now. People will say it’s just a game but fuck those guys ‘cause they don’t understand. The emotional and mental commitment is the same.“
