How: You must pre-order the game and input a code on the official site. We recommend pre-ordering on WildStar.com as there’s no more dependable way to receive a game than from the source. Even if you haven’t locked in a pre-order before tonight, you can change your mind during the next three days and get in early.
Why: If you’re wondering why you should be playing WildStar this weekend, check out our Everything You Need to Know article. If you’re wondering why you should pre-order for the head start… well, why shouldn’t you? You get to play three days early at no extra cost.
Extra Notes: As with any launch for an MMO, chances are it’ll be rocky. Authentication issues and server lag are very likely despite Carbine Studios’ attempts to do everything to prepare for the big day.
Also, there will be an official stream running from tomorrow through Monday on the official Twitch WildStar channel. It’ll be well worth checking out to get the scoop on what’s happening in the world of WildStar, and hear from the developers themselves.
We hope to see you in-game!
