Let's face it, we all knew this was going to happen: WildStar is going free-to-play this Fall. This means that anyone and everyone who has played the MMO or wanted to play the MMO will soon be able to do so without having to pay a mandatory dime.

Of course, you may be worried about there being microtransactions out the ass on this. Fortunately, they have set up a handy FAQ that you can check out that may alleviate those fears.
Following the transition this fall, all players will be able to level to 50, acquire all Amps and abilities, and participate in all dungeons, raids, adventures, shiphands, and PvP. The entirety of the game will be open for players to explore for free.

Players may also purchase an optional membership for a monthly fee that will provide various convenience bonuses and enhancements to XP, crafting, currency, item drops and reputation. Members will gain additional character, costume, bank, supply, and décor items.

For the in-game store, NCoin will enable players to buy convenience or cosmetic items. In almost every case, items that are available for purchase via NCoin will have equivalent items available for players that want to invest time rather than money. One thing that will not be available for purchase is power – progression will continue to require both skill and effort.

Carbine Studios and NCSoft say that they will share more details about the transition in the coming months. They will further explain how those who have or had a subscription to the game will benefit in the move to F2P.
