You're smarter than me.  I bought the DDO from Atari - which had no pre-order bonus. :frusty:  (they since introduced a pre-order bonus of 500 'Cryptic points', but no idea what those can be used to purchase).

Looking at cryptic points for champions online you most likely will be able to buy extra character slots (which you shouldn't need with having lifetime sub), other uniform choices (like the DS9 variants, and stuff of that type.

Aye, I figured that kind of stuff is likely.

It's funny, the times I played the beta, I really liked it.

Then I come here and listen to the fanbois, and I don't like it nearly as much.

You guys are to STO what Marty is to homosexuality*.

And they're doing an End of Beta thing today.  That ends at 6pm PST. <_<
Just did a time conversion thingy and it starts in an hour (2pm PST = 11pm CET right?)!

What to do, sleep seems important somehow  :cry:

crazy canuck

So I havent played at all since the first few days - I see BB saying the beta closes today.  When does the head start for pre-orders start?

I'm sorry Berkut, I really don't see any fanboism here.  I've bitched plenty about the game being down, as have others.  No one has said this is a "WoW killer", or "guaranteed to be great", or any such superlative.  Hell when Alci asked me to sell him om the game, I declined to do so.

What we do have are about 4 of us who have purchased the game and are looking forward to it going live.  :)

And all of this in a thread entitled "Another epic fail?"

It just seems funny to me they'd spend the time to do an end of Beta event, then have it run for only 4 hours.   :mad:

End of Beta Event

A massive Klingon Fleet is forming near Qo'noS for an invasion into Federation Territory. Klingon Warriors who wish to join this fleet may rendezvous near Qo'noS at 2pm PST (We're GMT -8 right now).

So it doesnt last 4 hours?
