WildStar’s iconic visual style and “Momentum Mechanics” immerse players in a deep world stacked with content, challenges and rewards that respond to the play style choices of individual players.  Depending on a combination of faction, race, class and path, WildStar will present gamers with unending surprises, mini-quests and challenges, ensuring that their experiences are fun and fresh.

WildStar takes place on the planet Nexus, a mysterious world vacated by the ancient Elden but left rich with treasures and technologies to discover and acquire.

With the closing of developer Carbine Studios, NCSoft has announced when the servers will finally shut down.

The WildStar game service will be coming to a close on Nov. 28, 2018. Beginning today, real money purchases will be disabled through both NCSOFT and Steam – those who have made any in-game purchases since July 1, 2018 will be eligible for a refund. As WildStar comes to a close, there will be a celebration of events around Nexus.

From now until then we’re going to do everything we can to honor the WildStar community, and show thanks for your support. In an attempt to recognize your dedication and love for WildStar and for those of you who have come to call Nexus your home, here are our plans from now until the servers close:

Refunding Recent Purchases

• All real money purchases have been disabled on the website and in-game store.
• Refunds for the purchases will be processed by October 3, 2018.
  • Real money purchases (including Protobucks, C.R.E.D.D., and Signature) made since July 1, 2018 will be refunded, and we will also process refunds for prepaid Signature Memberships that still have time remaining past September 26, 2018.
  • C.R.E.D.D. that remains unused and where the account holder has been active within the last 90 days will have their C.R.E.D.D. converted into equivalent NCoin for each unit.
  • C.R.E.D.D. that has been used to redeem Signature and where remaining active days extends beyond September 26, 2018 will be reimbursed in NCoin for each day remaining on a prorated basis.
