Small new video showcasing Combat for the Nexus Forever (Wildstar) update coming this Sunday
Little known fact: a surprisingly large number of software development projects are covered in duct tape and held up by popsickle sticks and WS was no exception. Anecdotally, the original Wildstar code base was apparently a rickety mess way, way before they shut down the official servers. As for the emulator code, you can look at it yourself as it is an open source project: https://github.com/NexusForever/NexusForever if you're curious.
