WildStar offered a particular blend of MMORPG spices when it opened for business in 2014. If you wanted old school raiding with a sci-fi bent, you could find it in WildStar. If you wanted to be a bunny rancher with a laser rifle in space, though, you could also do that! Now WildStar is reopening its wide open space range by going free-to-play this fall. Lucky for you, NC Soft has provided us with 20,000 beta keys to giveaway. Want to get your hands on one? Enter below.
