This Week’s Wildstar Wednesday is really amazing! Carbine not only revealed that Wildstar will have housing, but they did it in their own unique way. If you want a peek at Carbine’s art style, humor and none the less at some housing options then read on below!
Making Dreams come True … for money!
P.T. Rotostar, president and CEO of the galaxy-spanning Protostar Corporation, has just announced the immediate implementation of a bold new initiative in planetary settlement: Protostar’s Nexus Housing Initiative!
This is by far the best Feature Teaser I have seen in many years of MMO’s. Usually you get a some form of developer news, or an ingame video footage with comments if you are lucky, but rendered videos of this kind – showing off art style, humor and none the less ingame footage in a cool way – are extremely rare. Absolutely loving this video.
Of course many questions do now arise. Here are some that have come up on our IRC channel.
- Are large plots, intended for guilds or can ‘single’ players ?
- Can you own more than one house?
- Can a single player manage/build a large plot by himself?
- How expensive is housing? Is it aimed far into the elder game or will starting characters get access to some small “shack/barracks”?
- Do you continuously upgrade your house from shack to castle or do you have to build each stage from scratch (ofc assuming there are different sizes)?
- Will it require to have settlers to buy your house, or prepare a plot of land for housing?
- Will houses decay if you are offline? unsubscribed?
- “… insignificant chance to kill you!”, elaborate that please Mr P.T. Rotostar!
- Will there be some quick access to your house?
- How do you plan to limit locations for plots/houses? Could you place your house close to an instance?
- Will they cost differently at different locations?
- Can I invite my friends to the house?
- Can I break into a house?
- Can I attack an enemy faction plot?
You like the video? Let us know or add your question below!

This game looks amazing.
…. goodbye minecraft, HELLO WILDSTAR!
that made me moist
HAHA “Defensive
”
Between this and GW2 it looks like Ncsoft will get all my money next year, the animation style here is perfect, I cannot believe it took this long for a western mmo to embrace it, considering all Asian ones at least try to look anime. Carbine, you truly make my dreams come true.
… for money.
Ahahaha! That was wonderful. XD
the word “erecting” gets my money everytime!
This video was probably the first video from an MMORPG that made me laugh. Also, I’m really looking forward to the housing and to the actual game! Glad that some MMOs are bringing back housing to MMOs as an important feature instead of ignoring it.
I can’t wait to build all my “defensive” cannons all around my house. I just sure hope my neighbors come over to visit when I fire my ‘signal’ at them.
HAHA, that’s awesome. Sold!
0o yeaaaaaaaaaaah its getting interesting .
i didn’t want this game, but i want it now.
Yep, I like what I see
I had 0 interest in this game before, I have about.. 12 interest now. It’s getting there.
Is Phineas a space goblin?
I don’t know what this is but i want it. Now
That has to be one of the funniest game trailers ever! Can’t wait for an MMO to offer housing again! Roll on Wildstar.
THIS IS LEGIT!!!@!@!@!@!@@!@!@!@!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY
10/10
Animation aare really amazing , haven’t see that for a long time . That game gonna be awesome if it based on Guild Wars economic model .
For money!
Brilliant.
Take my money already, for fuck’s sake! D: You don’t have to entice me moar! D:
Oh god, another cartoon game… can’t developers make something a little bit more ambitious these days ? Is it too hard ?
dont get me wrong, im sure the game is great – just commenting on the graphics
This.Is.Perfection! It was like WildStar meets Aperture Science, complete with alien Cave Johnson.
In my opinion it is the “noncartoonish” games that are the same old. Wildstar has a refreshing nice look, but to judge that you’d have to watch more footage and not base everything on a 20 sec excerpt.
I find the whole trailer amazing good and the most interesting feature teaser I have seen in many years.

OH MY GOD, AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
This reminds me of Ratchet and Clank so much.
why? I think it fits the style
Haha.. nice.
That voice sounds like oxhorn
This game cannot come out faster.
is the a game or what ?
did anyone come here from knazz?
Oh my god just release the game already!
its a game ncsoft is making and it going to be f2p from wat i heard.
This is my #1 anticipated upcoming MMO! Looks amazing =)
Wanted to say shut up and take my money but it’s the top comment so far…..
But ummmm yeah shut up and take my money now!
Although you’ll only get it of you waste millions upon millions on voice-overs and not actual content…….
Really really liking it and have enjoyed watching about this game since it was first announced last year. Initial impression was a Torchlightesque design but I see hints of Free Realms and that isn’t bad either for a casual just to kill some time game.
throw in ratchet and clank too
Is that the voice of Paul F. Thompkins?!!?
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!
Yes! I love this game more and more every time i see it… and i feel like i’ve said this already, but you’re still doing it right, can’t wait to see how it plays myself!
где русскоязычная версия? вашу мать
yunno normally i am one of those guys that could give a rat’s ass about housing , but that was very cool and it’s nice to see they take the sanbox elements serious instead of just tacking them on to some themepark. yes Swtor i am looking at you.
…yeah, I suppose there’s some credibility to that. Still, I’m leaning more towards Valve inspired humor.
Amazing and very fun!!! I want!
Fun.
You do realize that if enough people put up floating houses, we end up with a Hollow Earth (or Hollow Nexus).
This screams Ratchet and Clank
Please include a dragon somewhere in the environment; be it a skin, a companion, special move, or anything. I really love dragons and I’m sure there are more like me
WOW they need to use cave Johnson’s voice in this game now
So I was a little uncertain about the game, but this guy sold me on more then just a house haha
I was mildly interested in Wildstar…until I saw this.
Flying…island…HOUSES!?!?!?!?!???? ‘Throws wallet at screen’ SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!
Release the beta already :/
Holy freakin…kill my WoW subscription now…plz.
Add in a huge range of character customisatin and I’ll be in on day one.
Okay, that looks great. Good luck, guys – here’s hoping you don’t go down the way of City of Heroes and the others because this looks too awesome to bury.
this looks like Jak and Daxter with Ratchet and Clank simply brilliant
It actually reminds me a lot of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.
I’m digging this
Best solution to MMO housing ever…..GENIUS
Bahahaha the fail smile at the end cracked me up.
So do my vocal cords
If this game will be F2P I bet this will be one of the income sources. tables, chairs, couches and stuff for money.
Am I the only one who hopes that it will be a monthly fee for this game?
I’d be so damned arsed to pay 50€~ per month on stuff like that and would much rather pay 10-12~ a month to have access to it all (and skip out on the more JAJA HUEHUE kinda people). Too damned OCD if I actually want to be able to get everything through regular work.
Protostar already answered that with Protostar brand Insta-Ground. Can fill up any unsightly excavations within seconds, allowing minimum downtime in building more houses. More houses means more money, and if it’s one thing Protostar loves more than making your dreams come true, it’s your money.
Haha, very nice!
I wonder how much we have to spend
Pleeeeeaaaase be subscription based!!! I beg you!!!
This, please…
Tbh, it looks too good to be not P2P
Thirded.
F2P just = getting nickled and dimed ALL the time, making your gameplay experience immensely unenjoyable >.<
Better to just pay upfront and do whatever you want.
Portal 2 style of these videos is something I enjoy
I love the way he gesticulates and his facial expressions, it really is the icing on the cake, most cinematics don’t put in that much effort.
I have the weirdest sense of Deja vu right now…
Me too but I have watched this same video 17 times in a row
Here’s hoping that it isn’t subscription based. Would like to just buy the game once without additional fees.
Is this one of the new races 1:02 ?!!?!?!?!??!?!
I agree with the others – I hope this is subscription-based so that I can just fork over $15/month and be done with it instead of getting nickle-and-dimed.
This is actually a pretty fun and well-made video. I would just argue that the voice doesn’t really suit the poor guy, could have been potentially funnier with a weirder and not so clean voice.
whelp SWTOR you had a good run……..( quits subscription and looks up info for applying to beta)
So… there is where Ralph Pootang went to.
That is so fucking awesome!! i just love the cartoon style of this game and everything in it, i hope it’s not a subscription game.. i wont have time to play it all the time.. maybe work like a console game: just buy it once and everything else is free and includes extra items in a cash shop or something..
Really nice detail where his eye twitches a little and he struggles just a bit to keep the smile at the end. Also “…for money” =))))
yeah they are dead now so… I don’t care xD
sooo do i put the money in the disk drive?
I wonder, can we build a house with a friend? Or conect my ireland with a friends ireland? That would be so good! *drool*
Well, they have a Farmville style system (it’s literally just that. Don’t hit me..) where your friends can visit your home and clear out any problems or use your resources a bit where they get a small portion of the rewards you would get. So if you go out and monsters spawn out your home, your friends can go there, clear it up and get something out of it. It’s like ”always on-invite for friends” if you want ofc
I dunno how ”dead” since there’s a movie coming out of Ratchet and Clank in 2 years..
There’s a teaser trailer out 
Thats not bad, but i get a litle bit disapointed I cant hace a friends house conected to mine xDD
