This post originally appeared on Massively from Editor-in-Chief Brianna Royce. At the end of every week, we round up the best and most popular news stories, exclusive features, and insightful columns published on Massively and then present them all in one convenient place. If you missed a big MMO story last week, you've come to the right post.

WildStar kicked off its open beta this past week, posting a trailer, name reservation details, and its philosophy on the sub model. We celebrated the beta by polling you on your class choice and debating the game's merits in the lead-up to launch. Stay tuned to the Massively Speaking podcast over the next month as we'll have Carbine guests on the show to talk about the game!
