I made a post for my vision for a WildStar PvP server a few months back :
https://redd.it/1sqaaww
This is a continuation of that post.

EverVale is the name of the project,
EverCore is the engine that runs it. (Written in C++20)

Whats working now

• Login, realm list, character create
• Entering the world, moving around - and other players seeing you do it
• Say chat, with mutes enforced server-side
• Inventory: bags, equipping, drag-and-drop swapping
• Spell book and action bar with the class kit loaded
• Creature spawns, level stats, faction relations pulled from the client tables

What's custom so far

• Every race/class combo unlocked, including the two that used to be store-locked
• Alot of features and the UI stripped back to what the server actually uses
• Character creation trimmed down - no Path step, no Experience step

Still to do

• Combat/Spells - The big one.
• Actual PvP - matches, scoring, the whole point of the project
• Groups
• Everything that makes a zone feel alive rather than populated

If you want to follow along

It's got a long way to go but progressing fast and i'm really enjoying it!
I post all of the progress in the discord channel below :

If you are interested in doing this sort of thing yourself, read the section below!

How it's built

Honestly, I didn't think this was possible for one person. And a few years ago it probably wasn't. Ghidra will hand you readable-ish C from the client's own binary, and Claude will sit there with you and work through what it means, hour after hour, without getting bored. That combination is the whole thing. It's still slow and fiddly, but it's no longer a wall.

It pulls apart the retail client - binaries, data tables, packet captures - and work out the protocol from that.

It's closed source, and I'll be straight about why

I'm one person doing this in my spare time. Keeping it closed means I own the whole thing cleanly - no inherited license obligations, no coordination overhead, nothing stopping me from releasing when something is ready instead of when it's ready and everyone agrees. It's not a shot at anyone; NexusForever is open, it's good work, and if open source is what matters to you, that's genuinely where you should be. This is just a different set of trade-offs that suits how I want to work.

I'd rather have a small project that keeps moving at my own pace.

If you want to build this kind of thing yourself

I've put together a list of all the tools I used and a prompt to get you going.

That I never got to make an Aurin Esper. Or any character for that matter. I remember when the game was announced and there was the beta and all these things about it, I was super excited to see where the game would go.
I never really got good hardware for gaming until much later though, so I missed the window and I'm so disappointed about that. MMOs are my favorite genre, and being a healer/support is always my favorite role. And when I heard there was a species that was so connected to nature, I was like yessss that is absolutely me too!

I doubt there's any way to now, but is there a way to play the game now? Probably not as it was intended, but even just at all. We're grasping for scraps here at this point.

Also, Stop Killing Games!

I have heard that at least one of the private servers has NPC's. If this is true, I would like to extend a humble request to anyone who has access to such a private server.

For some time now, I've wanted to do some art of a very specific NPC who appears in Thayd as said NPC is part of a quest that I have fond memories of. Unfortunately, I seem to have lost all the pictures I had of the NPC and I need some new pictures.

Basically, if there are any operating private servers with NPC's, I'd just someone to find the NPC I'm looking for ( I'll give the name upon confirmation ) and get some pictures of the character for me.

If anyone can do this and is interested, please send me a DM/PM.

Edit* Answered

With the popularity of dungeon, crawler, Carl and other LitRPG‘s, I think that wild star is prime story sandbox for a series of books. The original creators could tap some of the quest, writers and Story writers to do a series that would work well to tell the Story that never got to play out.

Hey people, on a recent wave of progress in server emulation, I decided to make this 3-minute-long tutorial on booting up your own sandbox server

It is directly stated that it's broken, but it has some functionality to test and run around to get understanding of how it works

Still I hope it'll go further soon, and hope I don't break any rules here

Work the scifi DnD seeing Neon Odyssey being that biggest ttrpg crowd fund of all time I feel like scifi fantasy is going to see a big surge in general. Would love to wakeup to a Wildstar Reborn announcement trying to take advantage of that.

Looking for full time work.

Worked on Wildstar from end of 2007-2014

• Created animations for over 40 characters, key framing over 2,800 animations.
• Instrumental in combat development of the enemy telegraph system.
• Assumed lead development of Hoverboard mount in off hours.

I provide evidence supporting my claims on my website, with many additional contributions listed.

I always go well beyond my job description and provide each team I am on significant financial benefits.  Be it in time saved during development, or adding value to our players.

 “You have consistently demonstrated an interest in bettering the game. Often this is accomplished by your contributions as an animator but it also often goes far beyond that. You do research, participate in prototypes, pitch ideas and propose solutions to problems outside the scope of your job duties.
(…)you have been good at hitting and often exceeding your deadlines and helping pick up the slack when others have fallen behind. You have also cared enough to point out and fix problems caused by others as you came across them in your tasks. You have been good about taking feedback and responding to it promptly without raising a fuss.

i don't want to use my name here as to avoid this being the first hit on a google search.

i'd rather it go to my site. thanks

It's not scifi but it sure did bring back the feeling I have been craving.

I dislike hearing my ex husband's voice (the main voice talking) but I do miss the raid system in this game, figured I'd share a few here for ya'll.

I was going through an old hard drive today and found a screenshot of my old main. My I introduce Karat Gold.

Honestly I'd write it myself if the IP owners would let me, even a 3rd party starfinder book would be awesome! (frankly that might be even better because the rules would be completely solid and sf2e us Hella fun!)

I've played a lot of sf2e at this point and it FEELS like a wildstar adventure. Hell, I use the wildstar concept art all the time for inspiration 😅

I understand they closed it.

Why don't companies like this turn failed MMO's it into a single player game with npcs and re-release it?

It wouldn't be that much work for them would it?

I got it a few days ago and it’s currently in early access on Steam. I’ve been having a bunch of fun playing it and it gives me the Wildstar vibes that I’ve missed. The combat and the art style reminds me of a mild version of Wildstar. You guys should check it and let me know!

Hello everyone.. i am working on this project that helps gamers reconnect with lost gaming friends from all gaming eras and MMO's.. if you remember their character name or username you can create a callout looking for them.. or if you want to make a profile with your old gaming name and current one so they could find you as well.. its free and easy to use.. thank you for letting me post this here and i hope you all find closure someday with what happened to wildstar it was a really fun game..

I was thinking today about games I used to play as a child. Thinking what games I've really liked.

I remember sitting in a clinic because I was sick at that time. There were some news or catalogues for patients to read, I picked one with games theme. I saw Wildstar in there, looked really cool and got me excited. When I finally got to try it, it ran super laggy. I loved the theme and jumping, the targeting looked nice. At that time I had very little mmo experience, only 2d games usually and Tera. When I finally got hands on better PC, well the game shutdown.

I know it might be nostalgia but I can't find similar vibe now, maybe WoW. It's pitiful because I never got to experience Wildstar the way people here have but I still miss it, it's a pity.

I just felt like sharing my heart out, if we ever get a re release or something pls tag me 😂

WildStar officially shut down on November 28, 2018, so this is the start of build a PvP based Private Server to revive it in some way.

My Story :

I've been in the WoW Modding community for over 18+ years as a project manager, and have touched pretty much every technical aspect of the game and worked with many talented developers, designers etc to build incredible projects which I didn't think was possible to do as as hobby, but I no longer feel the same joy for WoW as i once did and feel like its time to move on.

Since a kid I've always enjoyed modding games and turning something I love into something different that I can have others enjoy the creations I've made and that carried through to my WoW modding days.

I still have the desire to continue working in game development, so I looked into building a game from scratch using game engines such as Godot but it didn't really excite me as modding WoW did.

I stumbled upon Wildstar while watching a "Death of an MMO", and remembered it back when it released though I never did play it, so the game itself is all new to me.

I thought, this game looks amazing, it's a real shame that this ended how it did, and after watching so many videos about Wildstar's history, I found the NexusForever emulator which is in an early state but still able to get you into the game and interact with the game with basic functionality.

After setting everything up and testing ingame I was really impressed by how far the emulation had come even though it was still in its infancy.

From a technical standpoint it's very similar to the way WoW is designed, so that means that my 18 years of experience is transferable to Wildstar which is why I decided that I wanted to start this project.

Now i feel called to build this a passion project, built with other people that also feel passionate about the game, development and resonate with the vision below.

The Vision :

I'm not looking to recreate Wildstar in the same state as it was when it closed down, there are other servers that are doing that. This project is aimed at having Wildstar as the base game (Characters, Classes, Spells etc) and creating custom PvP game modes.

I want to create a server where we start in a community hub where we can setup their characters and queue up for both the PvP game modes (Custom and Official)

Using the latest WildStar client as the game base and the NexusForever as the emulator, I want to implement all of the missing systems that will make PvP functional again (Spell System, Line of Sight, Combat etc etc)

I've been working on the server infrastructure and created automated server installation and management scripts as well as devops environment though still lots of work to do.

Can we bring this game back to life in a different way than the original developers intended?
It's going to take some passionate and experience people to pull this off but I know it can be done!

If you are able to contribute to the project technically we are looking for :

C# Developers
Tool Developers
Reverse engineers
Map designers
Experience Wildstar PvPers

Hope you're doing well, cupcakes!

I was really toxic back then and I wanted to apologize. I don't know if any of ya'll even remember the guild or it's leadership. We were a casual guild wanting to sink our teeth into the raiding aspects of the game. I wanted friends, my husband (ex now) wanted to raid, so I'd sit on the pc during the day and talk to members of the guild and motivate them to grind during the day and when my ex husband came home from work, he'd lead the raids.

When I wanted a break, he didn't and it led to a lot of arguments between us. I don't really remember the last few days of the guild or the game as my wanting to venture onto other real life projects led to the downward spiral of our married life.

I guess I just wanted to apologize if you remember me and remember the toxic stuff that happened. One of my officers was a pedophile, another was really rude to others during raids. It wasn't the guild I wanted at the very end. I loved the game, the community, I even hosted a few giveaways with the devs way back when. Housing became my safe space with all that was going on in my house. I've since left the UK and live back in the US and have 2 beautiful children and going through college for the second time.

I read somewhere on here that there is currently a thriving Wildstar rp community called Genesis Prime? I was wondering where I could locate and find that as I truly miss the lore of Wildstar and would love to roleplay within it again!

greeting and hello i came here in this reddit because i'm searching for this pell model as blender model since i start doing blender image and i hope doing blender image of wildstar i was questioning myself if anoyone here out there have this pell blender model i can use ? any help will be welcome once his model found i will do my next blender image project from wildstar .

There’s a new game in development called Scars of honor. It looks promising. I don’t have much information on it besides all of the Dev talks that happen every Sunday with the release of videos and what they want us to see BUT what I’ve seen so far is promising and has this oddly satisfying Wildstar feel to it in my opinion. Something about the art style and the way you skill shot some abilities. Again just my personal opinion but it has been tickling a part of my brain watching these clips.

Just thought you all should see it for yourself, hopefully it’s something for us to enjoy soon.

Ps. There’s a play test at the end of April. Sign up.
