.....

The second phase of closed beta begins today.

WildStar will switch to its new free-to-play business model on September 29. NCSoft and Carbine Studios announced the release date.

WildStar will also get it's "biggest game update" since the game launched in June 2014. Through the WildStar Reloaded update, players can expect more in-game content, "enhanced game systems," and numerous quality-of-life updates.

"New players will enjoy a greatly streamlined starting experience, while veteran players will be handsomely rewarded for their loyalty," NCSoft said in a statement. "As an added perk, all players with active subscriptions at the time of the free-to-play transition will also receive exclusive items as a bonus."

As for the second phase of the WildStar free-to-play closed beta, NCSoft said this is being done to "ensure that the economic aspects of the free-to-play transition are launch-ready."

"The second phase will also offer invited players a risk-free opportunity to test the new in-game store by buying NCoin--a real money currency that is all new to WildStar," NCSoft said. "All NCoin purchased during the second phase will be copied to players' beta characters, allowing them to test the entire purchase process and the purchased NCoin will then be transferred in full to their live characters once the transition officially happens."
