The WildStar site has been updated with a preview of the Redmoon Rising dungeon that will be heading into the game on August 17th.

Carbine has announced that Character Boosts will be coming to WildStar beginning with the next update to the PTR.

Carbine has published a brief but interesting post on the Wildstar site that reveals how much more fun it is for players to roam the game in groups.

This boon to Renown gains can be earned in expeditions, adventures and dungeons.

WildStar: Making the Game More Alt-Friendly

WildStar is one of the most well-rounded and feature complete theme park MMORPGs in years. Love it or dismiss it, there’s no arguing that it’s had a rocky road since launch. Despite critical praise, a loyal and even rabid (or jabbit?) fanbase, Carbine’s MMORPG hasn’t been able to really keep up a decent population. But that could change today, as WildStar hits Steam. Will Nexus be saved by Valve’s storefront the same way TERA and other MMOs have been?

WildStar: New IP Verification
