WildStar was a science-fantasy MMORPG from Carbine Studios, released by NCSoft in June 2014. It was set on the planet Nexus, where the ancient Eldan had vanished and left their technology and secrets behind. Two factions fought over it: the Exiles, looking for a home, and the Dominion, who saw the planet as sacred.
Combat used telegraphs: attack zones were drawn on the ground, so you dodged enemy strikes and aimed your own. Dungeons and raids with world bosses needed a coordinated group. Housing was a highlight, a personal plot to build and decorate. It launched with a subscription and went free to play on September 29, 2015.
NCSoft closed Carbine Studios on September 6, 2018, and WildStar's servers went offline on November 28, 2018. There is no official successor.
