In large steps, WildStar approaches the Free2Play implementation. The beta servers have now reached the second phase, which means changes to the real money shop.
From now on, the cash flows
The green men from ProtoStar will probably rub their cloned little hands, because from today the beta of the F2P WildStar is in the second phase. Alongside some bug fixes, improvements, and changes, the in-game shop will now be tested in more detail. While players could previously pay with in-game currency, it is now possible to spend real money today, thus testing the shop’s functionality. However, those who decide to purchase Ncoin, the NCSoft currency for many games, do not need to mourn for long. All coins you spend in the beta version will of course remain on your account. In return, no purchased items will be transferred to the live version.
In addition to the adjustments to the shop, changes will also be made to the rune system, so the general number of rune slots on armor pieces will be drastically reduced and their power increase balanced. Ultimately, however, there should be no change in the power level of the individual characters; rather, the system should be made simpler and, above all, more accessible.
Update: WildStar Free2Play transition: Date is set, SF-MMO becomes WildStar Reloaded
