Carbine plans to celebrate the launch of the beta by live streaming gameplay on Twitch at 7pm UK time on May 8.

If you have anything more than a passing interest in Wildstar, then it's likely you've already picked up one of the many beta keys Carbine left lying around on the internet's floor.

If you only have a passing interest in Wildstar, then even that may have been too much effort. In which case, your turn to play comes this week, when the upcoming MMO enters a short pre-launch open beta phase. The open beta will run from Thursday, May 8th until Sunday, May 18th. A post on the Wildstar blog explains how it will work. Reaching level 30 will unlock a handful of new experiences for testers who have already explored the majority of the available content Farside — You ever want to go to the moon and float around while swinging a massive sword into badass, vicious, people eating extra-terrestrials?

Me too. Galeras Adventure — Tower defense just became a whole lot more epic. You and four friends are all that stands between an invading force and holding the fort before reinforcements can arrive. Two New Abilities — Kicking ass is pretty awesome. Now you can kick MORE ass with two new abilities that are unlocked for your class at level New Ability Slot — Hot damn, at level 30 you can unlock the final ability slot!

Tier Points — Power up your abilities to continue to become an even bigger ass kicker. Interested parties will be able to visit the WildStar open beta page starting tomorrow to request a beta key.

WildStar beta veterans do not need to waste any time requesting a new key. Previous participants should be able to download the patch when it is released tomorrow and jump right into the testing event.
