Wildstar is due to go free-to-play in Autumn and its now taking beta registrations ahead of this transition, in a bit to attract new players to the game.

New players will get access to two character slots, four costume slots and two bank slots for free, although subscribers will get more slots and various other benefits as a result of paying for them. However even if you’re not subscribing you will still have access to the full game, all classes and all skills. However all players will have to sign up to a ‘Signature program’ to be allowed to create guilds and gain access to some other perks.

Both types of player will inhabit the same server space though, which means that those currently playing will soon probably see an influx of new players for them to play with. Or troll. Either and or.
