WildStar Reddit AMA Answers Concerns
Not "Exactly" an MMO
Executive Producer for the upcoming WildStar took some time to talk to the community recently, and he had some pretty choice words on what Wild Star is. But more importantly, what it isn't. Among them, they are making the effort to make it "anything but WoW." They also talk about what things from other MMOs they like and want to borrow - he even specifically mentions City of Heroes' sidekicking, Dark Age's 3-faction territory PVP, or Asheron's Call's allegiance system.
