A few days ago, an interview was conducted with the developers of WildStar, this time our colleagues from “Massively” questioned Product Director Mike Donatelli and Creative Director Chad Moore.
The most exciting statement from the interview is that WildStar still has “several hundred thousand players”. In the worst case, that means at least 200,000, and in the best case, obviously much more; they did not want to commit to an exact number.
They emphasized that they would of course like to have more players but are also convinced that the upcoming content drop will bring both old and new faces back to Nexus. With the mega servers that started yesterday, and whose activation went smoothly, the first step on this path has been taken.
Large Number of Solo Players
Another interesting statistic is that nearly 70% of Nexians primarily play solo content and have completed the leveling phase without any group content. This percentage was previously estimated to be much lower, which is why new content will be brought for solo players in the upcoming patches; the announced “OMNIkern” is just the first of many story-based instances that can be tackled alone.
Otherwise, the interview unfortunately did not contain any major revelations, the countless changes of the upcoming content drop were preached again, and the positive attitude of the team was highlighted. On the other hand, one cannot expect to have a new revelation every day – at some point, one unfortunately has to repeat oneself.
