The WildStar site has been updated with a new blog post that is mainly centered around screenshots to that show off pairs of images to show improvements made that will arrive with Tuesday’s F2P launch.

At the stroke of midnight on September 29th, the WildStar free to play version will go live along with a special live stream broadcast by Carbine Studios. The team has a slate of activities planned including a Times Square countdown to F2P launch.

Greetings MMORPG.com readers! I’m Mike Donatelli, Product Director for Carbine Studios’ WildStar. We are less than a week away from a major moment in our game’s history as we’ll be switching over to a free-to-play business model on September 29. The decision to change business models was not a light one, and we put a lot of thought and debate into when, why and how we were going to do it.

The WildStar site has been updated with a new blog post that outlines some of the many welcomed quality of life improvements coming to the game with next week’s free-to-play launch. Among other things, fast travel (aka ‘rapid transit’), a sell junk button, nav points and content finder are all included.

Due to some closed beta tester keys expiring, Carbine has decided to remove the need for a key altogether and has opened the doors wide for anyone who’d like to download and try out WildStar’s F2P version before it hits live service next Tuesday.

WildStar’s road to Free-to-Play is nearly at an end. In the final weeks before the switch, we take a look at some of the upcoming holiday events, including the Hoverboard zPrix Invitational

The WildStar site has been updated with a new deep dive article that lets players know that crafting will be meaningful, robust, and simplified when the game goes free to play later this month.

Carbine Studios and NCSoft have announced that the free-to-play iteration of WildStar will officially launch on Tuesday, September 29th. Players will be able to check out firsthand the massive number of changes and quality of life improvements in the game that have been implemented in the past several months.

With the first phase of closed beta testing complete, the WildStar test server is now closed pending a significant update prior to the beginning of phase 2 slated to start at approximately 1:00 am Pacific / 4:00 am Eastern on September 3rd. During phase 2, players will be able to purchase Ncoin that will result in PTR Ncoin to use as currency for in-game shop purchases. When the F2P iteration launches, players will receive the ‘real deal’ Ncoin.

The chompacabra is out of the bag: WildStar will be going free-to-play on September 29. After announcing the switch back in May, Carbine Studios feels that the update is almost ready for prime time.
