The folks at Carbine & NC Soft are starting Wildstar's Open Beta this week. The fun begins on the 8th and runs thru the 18th. They are raising the level cap from 25 to 30 which will open up several new aspects to the game not yet previously seen.

You will be able to travel from Nexus to Farside, gain not only a new ability slot but two more abilities as well as some additional tier points.

I'm pretty sure everyone & their brothers have pre-ordered but in case you didn't (we won't hold it against you) then head over to their Open Beta page & grab yourself a key. Make sure you patch early to be able to hop in when the servers come up!
