Fancy a cupcake, Cupcake? In this week’s WildStar column, Gareth "Gazimoff" Harmer takes a look at WildStar’s first birthday celebrations, and discusses some of the fears around the upcoming free-to-play switch.

Carbine has announced that WildStar will go free to play this Fall. In his latest column, Gareth "Gazimoff" Harmer asks if the studio’s proposals represent a good deal to players, and what pitfalls it must avoid.

It’s not going to surprise anyone here, as we all follow Carbine’s freshman outing closely, but the sci-fi fantasy MMORPG is going Free to Play (F2P) this fall, and we’ve got the full scoop. We recently flew out to Santa Monica (at NCSOFT’s expense) to preview many of the game’s upcoming changes. Read on to learn where WildStar has been, and where it’s going in 2015.

WildStar players will want to check their inventories for a new vanity pet given by way of apology for recent downtime extensions. Be on the lookout for an Enhanced Pumera and give its cheek a little pinch for us, will you?

Thanks to a tip from reader Zoltariel, it seems that Steam’s Database has been updated with a WildStar entry, signifying a possible move to a Free to Play (not Buy to Play) revenue model.

With Drop 5: INVASION freshly released, Gareth "Gazimoff" Harmer pulls on his engineering boots and heads back to Planet Nexus.

Now that it seems the WildStar going F2P cat is out of the bag, the daily quest is a very short one? Will you or won’t you and why?

If there’s ever a burning question that needs answering, the WildStar team aims to please. Today marks the return of Loremageddon, a series of player questions about all things lore and background tackled by the Carbine developers.

We asked this recently, but with the launch of INVASION: Nexus, adding so much new content, and polishing the game’s overall performance drastically we’re asking again… is it time to return to WildStar, or are you holding out for F2P?
