"With an early commitment to Champions Online, granting guaranteed early access to our next big game, Star Trek Online, seemed like a great way to engage Cryptic’s biggest fans in other projects at the studio.” Lifetime subscribers will also receive an exclusive Mirror Universe costume set for Star Trek Online.          ripped from http://startrekonline.com/node/330

   If only we were going to play Champions online as a group!  Since we are not I don't want to pay 6 months of a game just for closed beta.

[Haramir]

That's such a dirty trick... Amuun and I want in the beta really badly, but not enough to spend at least $60 each to get in.  I've not really followed Champions so the purchase would most likely be solely based off of early access to Star Trek.  Damned dirty apes.

[Woapalanne]

No beta for you.  If you play the beta you will get bored with the game 3 months later and quit. 

[Haramir]

With Star Trek or Stargate, that time frame is likely to be longer.  Say 3 1/2 months or more!

Copied from Massively:

According to a press release put out today, Star Trek Online will hold its open beta from January 12th through January 26th. There are some preorder deals that will give you an open beta key, and there are bound to be numerous opportunities to win one at various spots around the net.

Star Trek Online is currently in closed beta, which began last month. Champions Online six-month and lifetime subscribers have been told that they'll be in the closed beta before the end of the year, so those folks should get at least a month of beta access before the game hits the retail shelves on February 2nd, 2010.

Once the open beta begins, you'll likely see a flood of information and guides about STO since the NDA will have been lifted. This will provide everyone with key information as to the finer details of the gameplay mechanics.

I pre-ordered yesterday, so I will be in open beta.

[Woapalanne]

Nice, let us know what you think of it.  I am really waiting for Star Wars but still might get this game.

Yeah that's what I am waiting for too.
