Massively multiplayer online role playing games take a very long time to develop - and are very expensive to make. But, if successful, they can generate a lot of ongoing revenue. For example, it's been reported that Star Wars: The Old Republic made $113 million last year on micro-transactions alone, and World of Warcraft - which is now 9 years old - made $213 million on micros; not even counting subscription fees! For many years now, gamers have been wondering what the next World of Warcraft will be, and no game has really come close. And that's why newcomer Wildstar is so very interesting.

Justin van Huyssteen from NoobFeed writes - The Metaverse is a nebulous concept that has been floated about, by some, as the next big thing, and people often want to jump on board these kinds of things. Metaverse has been in the news a lot, but should it be in the news as often as it is? Or is it just another gimmick?
I have no interest in a metaverse, just give me a good single player game. And to answer your question: no, it isn't.

Carbine Studios announced in September that the game would be shut down and that the studio would be closing. Since the announcement, players have been able to enjoy the full game without restriction and with a number of in-game events firing off for the last time.

WildStar offers epic high adventure, where players make their mark as Explorers, Soldiers, Scientists or Settlers and lay claim to a mysterious planet on the edge of known space.
