WildStar Bringing Huge Enhancements When it Goes Free-to-Play

Following the news that MMO WildStar is going free-to-play, NCSOFT and Carbine Studios have given more information on the new payment model as well as detailing upcoming improvements to the game. 

“WildStar going free-to-play is so much more than a new business model. We’re also introducing a massive game update full of new features and quality of life improvements. It’s going to be a fun environment for new players to join and we’re also going to do right by the players who have been with us since the beginning”

- Mike Donatelli, product director at Carbine Studios.

WildStar's new rewards program will enable players to earn rewards points by purchasing or spending NCoin, enrolling in a Signature Plan or redeeming “C.R.E.D.D”. Earning points will also be retroactive, so anyone who has previously invested in WildStar will have a number of very cool rewards waiting for them.

In addition to going free-to-play, WildStar players will see further improvements coming to the game’s systems and content with the update, these include:

• Item and stats system overhaul
• Scaled tutorials for new or experienced MMO players
• More challenging dungeons
• General content and quality of life improvements

This is one of the biggest updates to ever hit WildStar and you can expect it later this year, while the game will also be releasing in China during the same time.
