"Compare it to other MMO's? Um.. not easily done. Carbine had a goal to make their game different. To bring in things no one has successfully done before... open action combat style... multi colored telegraphs... it is really easy to tell if you are going to hit your target. And you know if something is going to hit you, and pretty much when.

WildStar chose to make (housing) a core part of their game, which meant they put some very serious time and thought into it. There is a buff board that you can hit up on your way out to play, offering a variety of bonuses to choose from. You can also add decorations to your house that give you a 'rested xp' type of bonus if you log out there. With free-form placement, anything is possible."

"If you haven't played this genre of game previously, you shouldn't have any issues getting up to speed, it's forgiving...initially. For the Player versus player aficionado, you can level up by pwning noobs and drinking the tears of your enemies afterwards. If you prefer less ganking in your diet, the PVE (player vs environment) route offers a rich and interactive adventure across Nexus. Additionally, you've got a crafting system which offers a deeper, more personalized experience via experimentation. The path system is another facet of the game play that offers perks, character bonuses and other surprises to discover while you're on Nexus.

From the river and ocean currents (that can throw you off the first time, especially if you weren't expecting it!) to the trees, cliffs, ships, wreckage, etc. that you can climb up, in, on, and over for spectacular views. Don't forget about all the hidden path related quests and other surprises...The list goes on and on, it's absolutely amazing."
