When the creators of WildStar told us
that they took their community very seriously, they weren't kidding!
I started this blog recently because I
simply couldn't contain my enthusiasm about WildStar for much longer
and I /had/ to share my ideas with others, especially the
role-playing community. Imagine then, my utter shock and delight as
Executive Producer Jeremy Gaffney himself was the first commenter on
my blog. (Which if you haven't read yet, check it out here,)
And it didn't stop there. I created a
link to my blog on the WildStar subreddit in hopes of drawing some
views and maybe some comments from my fellow WildStar enthusiasts. It
was here that Jeremy Gaffney once again stepped in with one of the
most impressive displays of PR I've seen. Right here, in the thick of
the community, he asked us what WE wanted to see. What did the
roleplaying community want from WildStar? What was important to us?
The thread immediately went wild with people excited to share our
opinions and ideas and was linked across the community!
“Mr. Gaffney has a question for us
over on Reddit!” on WildStar Roleplay
“WildStar Role-Players Assemble!”
on ZAM
“Jeremy Gaffney has a question for
the roleplaying community!” on WildStar Central
And it goes further! Not long after
this the Senior Community Manager David Bass (also known online as
Scooter) gave the roleplaying community some brand new information
regarding an amazing in-game chat feature which you should check out
on the WildStar Central forums, here.
This goes to show that not only are
Carbine studios taking their roleplaying community very seriously,
they ARE listening to US. They WANT to know what we think.
Suddenly this game is no longer that
exciting, but out-of-reach concept we are waiting with bated breath
for. It is a source of pride as we become a living breathing part of
this creation.
So go out there and make yourselves
hear, Carbine is listening!
Edit: Almost forgot to include this: One of the early examples that Carbine studios was listening to their fans. A Traitor's Whim created by Dyraele in 2012 was made into a song and posted on the Youtube channel for WildStarOnline which you can listen to here!
