…and bring it back from the dead. The game has the same art style as Blizzards so it would fit in the catalog. People are open to the idea of a new mmorpg from blizz and Wildstar was the true spiritual successor to wow. Get bobby to buy the IP from NCsoft who isn’t doing anything with it.

I heard it failed badly. And weren’t there some blizzard staff working on it? why would it do any better now than it did then?

It was released way too early, and during a major content patch during one of Wow’s more popular expansions. If they spent some money and did some minor dev work on it I feel it would be a serious draw.

Just did a google on it. One of the comments was that it was tailored towards hard mode 4o man raids. Do you think modern MMO players would be interested in that? I guess people don’t mind it in Classic but would it work for the current majority?
I would be open to them buffing out the hard edges of the game.
Well Blizzard s trying to kill WoW. So I don’t think they want to be in the MMORPG market anymore.

Nah if they want a new game that has established lore that would fit high fantasy RPG game they should buy Malazan Book of the Fallen rights. That was supposed to be a basis of a D&D game before they made them into books, It makes Game of Thrones look like the Harry Potter series.
I really liked Wildstar, but the only problem I had with it, which was mild for me, was a big problem for most people: It placed way too much emphasis on the telegraph; which isn’t inherently a bad thing but the way they had them play out turned into a reflex check with an extremely overblown punishment for failing your irl reflex check.
One of the main complaints with M+ already is that a lot of people don’t like the reflex check gameplay, and when you can get one shot by any random mob’s telegraph attack because you simply weren’t fast enough, or worse yet didn’t notice it, it gets pretty frustrating.

I am actually okay with this.
Wildstar was a fun game, and I’d actually like to see it return.
Wouldn’t mind seeing them buy the rights to RIFT from Gamigo either, that game also needs love and it’s not going to get it as long as Gamigo is owning it.

Is buying the rights to other companies’ games something Blizz has ever done or even hinted at doing?
No, but it’s always a possibility. NCSoft currently owns the rights to Wildstar and Carbine Studios, who made it. They’re not doing anything with it, so if Blizzard were to offer to buy it out, I can’t imagine NCSoft saying no.
And Gamigo, well they’re always interested in short term profits. If Blizzard were to give them a lucrative offer, they’d be willing to sell.
Christ absolutely not
That quagmire would be a death trap for any other form of media.

Yeah but why would Blizzard bother? I can’t even think of words to express the level of pointlessness there is to the idea of Blizz buying a game from someone else so they can continue it. They just make their own games.
Talk about kicking a dead horse.
They do? Since when? Don’t they just take their decade old turds off the shelf and polish them?
I can’t even play REAL D2 without it being in 800x600.

Good point.
But while I didn’t bother to intentionally NOT say NEW games, I did in fact not say NEW games…
Adaptions are never true to the source material, thats why its called an adaption.
