The game ends at level 50, the moment you ding you get an ending cinematic and you're done. There is no end game, no dungeons or raids, no PvP, no world events no nothing. Moderator edit: Content

Honestly, I think you'll be wasting your time. That's just my opinion though. Having said that, it's only a waste if you don't enjoy leveling at all. I really disliked lower levels in Wildstar (unlike in WoW, where I fell in love with the game world almost immediately, Wildstar's tutorial section absolutely sucks). But at higher levels (30+), I started to find the game a little more enjoyable. There's some reaslly beautiful, scenic places. Quests are repetitive as holy hell, and writing is incredibly weak for 90% of them, but there were a few interesting ones outside of the main story. Terrain and discovery can be interesting, if you're into that. I somewhat enjoyed climbing the Falkrin fortress in Malgrave, for example. It wasn't anywhere near as good as climbing Jintha'alor in The Hinterlands in WoW, but it was pretty close. They DID drop the ball COMPLETELY on underwater content (slim and none) and largely dropped the ball on caves and underground content, aside from stupidly repetitive Exo-Labs (you've seen one, you've seen them all). So if you're not into that kind of thing, you'll dislike the leveling. And endgame right now is totally counter-intuitive in design. Not to mention there's a server population issue, where even finding an active guild is becoming an issue. On the server I'm on, finding PvE guild is at least possible, but PvP guilds pretty much all dissolved except a handful of bands of raving psychotics with whom I'd rather not interact if I can help it. So, for now, I would say skip this game. If you asked me 2 months ago, I'd say go for it, simply because there were more people to bump against and on PvP servers the leveling was at least somewhat dangerous and enjoyable. Now, not so much - fewer people, and 99% run from world PvP, even if you're lower level, which makes for an unenjoyable experience all around.

You know, if a game actually did that to the first dozen or so people to hit the level cap ... damn that would be funny. Scroll credits, lock the character for 24 hours or so.

...why is that a 'disappointment'? It's like hitting 50.. but instead of 50, you just finished Fellowship of the Rings, and you realize he's writing Two Towers and Return of the King still! Kids these days. Patience... gotta increase that skill a bit.

Too soon to resubscribed because not much has been added yet. As for leveling ....personally I hate it in general, but I know it is recommended so I try to multitask between that and pvp.

Hmmmm I thought that was the point of these games? They kinda keep going, adding new stuff every so often that kind of thing.
