Month: September 2015

In case you hadn’t heard the news, WildStar (possibly my favourite MMO at the moment) is going Free-to-Play. A date has been set for this cosmotronic change, with servers being switched over later this month on September 29. If you’ve not tried the sci-fi world since launch, my latest column gives a run-down of the changes. In a nutshell though, this is the best version of WildStar I’ve encountered, with the game benefiting hugely from the additional year since its original launch.

But a changed game means a changed approach, for both returning players and complete newcomers. It means new guides, new tips, and new suggestions on how to get the most out of WildStar. And that’s where you come in, with a touch of WildStar swag to sweeten the deal, courtesy of some awesome friends.

Give me your best WildStar tip, advice, or suggestion, for both newcomers and former players.

Great ideas will be rewarded with lucrative prizes. Bad ones will be used by Avatus for target practice. On the unfortunate side, because of shipping costs and because the codes are restricted to EU, I’m having to limit this to EU residents only. On the plus side, here’s what you can win:

• First Prize:
  • 1 Granok Tee (Large)
  • 1 Blue WildStar Tee (Large)
  • 1 WildStar Baseball Cap
  • 1 Spiral-bound notebook (Blank)
  • 1 Postcard book
  • 1 Rowsdower Plushie
  • 1 Fancy Pants Top-Hat code
  • 1 Fancy Pants Jacket code

• Second Prize:
  • 1 Granok Tee (Extra Large)
  • 1 Spiral-bound notebook (Blank)
  • 1 Postcard book
  • 1 Fancy Pants Top-Hat code
  • 1 Fancy Pants Jacket code

• Third Prize:
  • 1 Granok Tee (Extra Large)
  • 1 Spiral-bound notebook (Blank)
  • 1 Postcard book
  • 1 Fancy Pants Jacket code

• Fourth Prize:
  • 1 Postcard book
  • 1 Fancy Pants Jacket code

You have until 23:59 GMT on Saturday, September 26 to get your entries in, which gives you a little over two weeks! Your entry can be text, video, a picture, a song – whatever you fancy. Creativity is more likely to help you win! To submit, either post your entry as a comment on this article, or email me [at] gazimoff.com to avoid it being eaten by the chompacabra spam filter. Or both!

And, as always, THE RULES.

1. The decision of Inventor Gazz in all disputes is final. Don’t like who Gazz picks as winners? Guess what, Gazz doesn’t care. Besides, Gazz always looking for new test subjects, and complainers provide good data!
2. Gazz reserves the right to republish and share your entries, while giving you full credit, either here or elsewhere. If you compose a ballad of helpful advice, Gazz may train chorus of bloodthirsty Ravenok to screech it at Exiles, before eating them.
3. Begrudgingly, data indicates Exiles have (SOME) good ideas too. So Gazz welcomes input from both factions.
4. Only one entry per entity. Got several ideas? Find several inferior friends, get them to enter too!
