The verdict
WildStar is shut down and can't be played. Players remember it as a great MMO with excellent combat and housing, but new buyers get nothing.
Great for
Nostalgic fans and people following private-server revival efforts; not for anyone wanting to play now
Main risk
The servers are closed, so the game cannot be played at all
