Carbine Studios has announced that a special bonus WildStar weekend will be taking place from Friday 3/28 at 7:00am PDT through Sunday night. The announcement was made on the WildStar forum.
Do you think waiting until next weekend to play WildStar sucks? Do you feel like being capped at level 17 is like wearing a soggy turtleneck? SO DO WE!
Starting tomorrow, Friday 3/28 at 7:00am PDT, the servers will be live and the party ain’t stopping until Sunday night! Also, the level 17 cap is gone and is now being replaced with a level 20 cap. My quick math skills tell me that’s an extra 3 levels! This bonus weekend is a way to get more testing time for us, awesome, as well as more game time for all of you who have Pre-ordered, double awesome!
This is our way of gathering the feedback we cherish and saying thank you to all of our loyal testers. Which is why we would love it if you logged in this weekend, enjoyed the extra 3 levels and the bonus game time because it will greatly help us be that much more prepared come launch day June 3rd.
Stay Frosty!

They are not trying to crash any party. ESO starts Sunday... Wildstar starts tomorrow. Stop being silly.
lol at Carbine
Citizen: Preach your filth elsewhere!
To do that they would have had to have an entire week... Now it will be more of a gentle reminder that there are places that are fun and filled with energy before people venture in to the "serious-as-a-heartattack" that is ESO.
To be honest WildStar is not really in competition with ESO... The one they need to be careful with is EQ:N.=P
This have been a good conversation
Conspiracies are fun. lighten up
Hehe true, EQN will be the first proper test for ESO i'd say
Pfffft.... A tricycle on the tracks is not going to stop the train coming through.
Peace is a lie, there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

"Im ready for
All the comparisons
I think its dumb and its embarrassing
Im switching off
No longer listening
Ive had enough of persecution and conditioning
Maybe its instinct- Were only animal" - Lily Allen, Sheezus
EQ:N is at the very lease 1 year off, if not 2 years on a "delay for quality reasons" (after all, Wildstar was delayed by over 8+ months for a questing and combat revamp that stopped the Beta before it was reupped as "Winter Beta" again).
That being said, I do see this as a bit of a stepping on the toes of TESO. Mind you this Beta goes from Friday 7am PST to Sunday 12pm PST,...and TESO's earliest "head start" is 7am EST on Sunday. So it will overlap time wise for at least 1 day's time.
Does this mean it's an interrupt directly? No. ....why? Because this one isn't a Freebie weekend with keys like last, this one is a Pre-Order weekend which requires the pre-order in order to get access; that means that it's to people already dedicated to purchasing the game and won't bet swayed from anything due to them already making up their mind on this.
Yeah, it's probably a gentle push to get the fence-sitters off the fence, so to speak...
I cannot believe that they will restrict ALL beta weekends to pre-orders from here on. June is still a ways away.
There will be other key weekends and open beta still. I wouldn't be surprised if they end up doing every weekend with the exception of PAX.
