WildStar

WildStar believes that it's the journey, not the destination, that makes an MMO. The Carbine-developed, NCSoft-published game allows players to choose their own "Path" at level creation, allowing gamers to pick the archetype that fits them best. And no, we don't mean picking between a mage, fighter, rogue, or cleric (though those will, indeed, be included), we mean literally allowing you to decide what type of MMO you want it to be. 

 

 

 

Besides choosing a race and a class, you can opt to be an Explorer, who can access otherwise impossible to find areas of the map; a Soldier, who can trigger holdout events similar to Gears of War's Horde mode; the Scientist, who researches the world; and the Settler, who can help build objects. It's an ambitious idea, but it's the kind of thing we like to see in our MMOs - unbridled creativity that has the capability of moving the genre forward a few decades.

 

We can't wait.
