A few days ago Carbine sent the first batch of beta invites for Wildstar. At this stage beta invites will only come from the WildStar team, which means no external entity is in possession of a key, nor can they offer or sell it to you. Participation in the WildStar beta is free, but don’t forget that you are under the NDA – Non-Disclosure Agreement, so keep everything about the game to yourself and the beta forums. The first round of beta invites is based on people’s computers. Subsequent rounds will focus on inviting loyal fans.

Unfortunately, some people that got into the beta were not appreciative enough of being the privileged ones to get in first into the world of Wildstar. They decided to break the NDA and leak patch notes from the beta. This can be very harmful to game development (at this stage a lot of things are not meant for the general public) and hurts future beta invites. Fansites and the general press decided to not report on those patch notes and as a thank you Carbine decided to do a very cool thing. They “leaked” the patch notes officially on their website so that everyone can discuss them in open.
