Posting to say I am up right now because I decided to do some housing before logging off and whoops there goes an hour of my life.

You can buy floors and walls for very cheap and build your own structures in and outside your home. I have a second story in my Chua House.

Is the fact that his house looks like a rabbit a reference to something in the game, or does it just represent Gabe's general desire for a bunny ranch?

Daimar

So true.

One of the playable races are basically cat/bunny people. Though Gabe appears to be playing the undead equivalent.

It gets worse once you stop spending hours on your own property and start spending hours visiting all of your neighbors.

I've even started making sure to be polite and plant in other people's gardens if I harvest their veggies.

I see a whole bunch of Smurf Village in the design too. But that could easily be part of Wildstar design too.

OldSlacker

This is the first thing to make me want to get Wildstar.
A lot.

At first Wildstar was about getting to END GAME RAIDZ @50. But the garden needs tending so screw that hassle.

Also, you can resize any decor item. Now that dining table is a second story platform!

I keep trying to plant Chua's. You know... cha cha cha chua pet. But they don't like that... for some reason. Look we're dominion here... someone needs dominating. Now go plant yourself!

That is actually one of the exact house designs you can get for your starter property. It's themed after the bunny-people, but anybody can buy it.

Wildstar looks super fun and I can't wait to play it.

You know, when it goes F2P next year.

I was starting to enjoy the housing part. But when I was leveling in the Beta I thought I should get to the max level 18 & by the time I was 17 I thought "WHY" and wished I hadn't. I've played a lot of MMOs in my day, and wanted very much to enjoy this one. Outside of the house (which isn't usually my thing!) I did not at all.

Mordesh Gabe is cool, but I really wanna see the Granok Tycho from panel 2.

The $60 door fee is more of a barrier of entry to me than the monthly fee, personally.

Brainwright

I'll admit, it's hard to say what's fun about Wildstar.

They're a lot like everything else, but they did it right?

Not really good enough in my mind. It's like they got the point that playing the game was something you did between social activities. The game's there, but it's easy to ignore. It's effortless, and yet it has challenges right there in front of you, waiting to be met. I like that.

PhilHibbs

There's a couple of links to The Ungift comics. Does anyone know if this really happened, did Gabe print his guy, and has he ever shown pics of it? I imagine he isn't the kind of player who would have kept his Level 60 tier gear, whereas Tycho is more likely to have.
