If you’ve purchased, and are playing, WildStar.. you should have received an email containing some guest passes to distribute to your friends, so they too can get hooked! (First hit is always free).

Guest Passes come with some restrictions though:

• Maximum of 3 characters per Realm.
• Guest accounts are capped to level 20, Path level 10 and Apprentice Tier crafting.
• Guest accounts can’t have more than 50 gold or 5,000 Renown.
• Guest accounts can’t create or join a Guild. They can join Circles but not create them.
• Guest accounts can’t trade with other players, send or receive mail, can’t become Neighbors or Roommates, or use the Commodity Exchange.
• Oh and Guest accounts can only use Say, Yell and Party chat.

Carbine has put up a News article, and a KBase article about guest passes.

Servers are up, the floodgates are opened… The Exiles are defending Nexus from the Dominion, Boom Boxes are being opened..

GO!  GO! GO! It’s LAUNCH DAY!

But, first…. watch the launch trailer!

Congratulations to Carbine on Launching WildStar!

No, not the two step shuffle…

The 2-Step Authentication security measure for your account.  Nobody wants to get hacked, have their stuff stolen, and log into find your Character naked slumming in the alleys of Thayd…

If keeping your account secure isn’t enough, Carbine has provided a few additional incentives.  With 2-Step active on your account, you’ll receive:

• A 2% experience boost to Experience, Renown, and Prestige that allows you to out-level those people whose accounts remain hacker bait.
• A Cybernetic Eyepatch costume item to commemorate your victory over the bad guys. It also improves depth perception.
• The title Certifiably Certified so you can provide official proof to your guild mates that you have earned access to the bank.

Head on over to the 2-Step page, and get all the details on how to secure your account.

With Launch looming closer, Carbine has thrown together a trailer highlight various aspects of the game…Combat, Housing, Customization, PvP…

When it comes to WildStar content, this trailer is like the Spaghetti Sauce… doesn’t matter what it is… it’s in there!

Apparently, Carbine is getting the “What’s in the Boom Box”? Question…a lot..  They put together a short trailer to show some of the rewards:

Hope I get a Luminous Equivar in one of my Boom Boxes, it looks pretty cool.

Go Go Go! Get that name!

After a few hiccups (read that as, not being able to keep the page up, people losing names they reserved, people being unable to get into the reservation system) this morning, the reservation page seems to be up and stable.. so GO!

Don’t forget, reserving a name will reserve it across every server, in both regions, until June 17th.  This is true for both Guild Names, and Player names… so get your name while you can!
