Megaserver: Finally Life on Nexus Again
Today is the day, the previous WildStar realms will be merged into the megaservers. Since the maintenance work will likely last all day, all players with an active subscription will receive an additional day of playtime and a whopping 30 surprise bags, which can contain all sorts of nice things. In the process, all auctions will also be canceled and returned to the players, and all characters below level 3 that have not logged in the last 30 days will be deleted.
Once the servers are back online, you will need to come up with a last name for each character – however, this can also simply be a title. Additionally, you can also give yourself a new first name if you wish.
When the WildStar servers will be back online and what else you need to keep in mind can be found in this post about the megaserver.
Nexusreport: From two… make one… make none.
But even more announcements have been made: In the weekly Nexusreport on Twitch, there was once again talk about the upcoming changes and a brief outline of Content Drop 3. Since this is now done every week, they also draw another conclusion; the Nexusreport is disappearing. Instead, there will only be a livestream when there is really something worthwhile to report, such as before or after a content drop.
However, one does not have to completely forgo a weekly stream; the English community manager Tony Rey will instead host his new show “Zero to Fifty,” in which he will work with the community to finally get a character to level 50. Where the journey will go, which faction and which race he will play, will be decided by the viewers in the first episode.
My Opinion: I find it somewhat unfortunate that the Nexusreport is now more or less completely being shelved, especially since it was recently reduced from two streams a week to one. One can only hope that WildStar will regain its footing with the content patch and the megaservers and emerge stronger from its low point – but I remain skeptical, no matter how much I would like to see the game and its likable developers succeed.
