    Hey Folks,

    Just a quick note on this: Please remember that we will be phasing in CBT participants, including CO and STO Lifetime subscribers as the beta progresses. This means that you may not receive Beta access on day one of the Closed Beta Test if you are a lifetime subscriber of Champions or Star Trek. You may need to wait awhile.

    That said, I promise you will gain access to the Closed Beta.

    Thanks,

    Stormshade

    This is probably a stupid question, but what are "CBT participants?"

    I'm guessing: Closed Beta Testing?

    Storm...what if you already got a key at PAX East should you still apply the Lifetime beta key?

    My guess would be no as the Lifetime Beta keys will allow access sometime during Beta, not at the start of Beta like the Torchlight II/PAX/E3 Beta keys seem to allow. That is, unless I've misunderstood our Community Manager's previous posts.

    Bear emoticons?? Really??? :|

    I'm thinking once you get a key you are in and they aren't going to send out Lifetime Beta keys until they are ready for those people to get in.

    So, I'm in beta because I have a lifetime sub to STO and CO but, I probably won't get in right away because I'm a loyal customer, but someone who lived a 10 minute drive away from PAX and never played either games will?

    I'm confused.

    Also, once people figure out buying a sub to either game doesn't guarantee beta access, there's going be a lot of unhappy posts.

    Is the promotion to get a beta key when pre-ordering Torchlight II still going on? I started the steps to buy it to see but saw nothing in on the T2 pages that state anything about it.

    Maybe a silly question but I must ask: If someone gets more than one beta key due to lifetime thingy and TL2 preorder, the second one is dismissed or can it be given away?

    I'm not overly upset about it, but I do find it strange. The other 3 friends that bought both with me don't seem overly interested in NW. One is upset about how bad CO was handled and doesn't really want to play NW.
    Forever and always forward

    Hello.

    I have a little questiont but its very important for me.

    When my CO Lifetime account gets into the beta ... will i have to activate it with an Beta-key that i get with an email or will it automaticly become upgraded.

    I would not like the "here is your beta key" way because i forgot my email account password. b:sad

    Thing is bud atari had the noose round there necks, and fingered any chance of the game being marvel universe, at some point marvel got jack of atari and pulled its name from it.
    that said i enjoyed CO, was something different.

    hopefully under PWE they can really shine for D&dNW and you can show you buds what there missing out on.

    Bruv this is what you will have to do

    If you forgot your account ID and password, then head on over to our recovery pages at https://register.perfectworld.com/account/forgotid
    You will need to type in your account's registered email address and then press the relevant recovery button. Then check your email inbox and spam/bulk folder for our automated recovery email.

    If you lost your email subscriber's password (e.g. gmail, hotmail, live, etc.) then you should be able to retrieve it from that company's password retrieval system. If you lost your isp's email address password (e.g. comcast) then you may need to call them up.

    Regardless, if you have lost the ability to log into your email account tied to the game, you should log into your account here at PWE/Cryptic and change it to a new email address. I would surely do this, if not just for the security reason of it, let alone for being able to receive important game-related communications from PWE/Cryptic.

    Since I love the old style D&D games especially from the old muds and am also a Big Star Trek fan it would be nice to have a game to play like neverwinter when STO gets too much of a burn out on it.

    Although as a LTS of STO would be nice to get to see this game although haven't recieved any key for it yet.

    Someday "Soon" will replaced by shortly due to copyright laws costing companies money to use this word in reference to release dates

    When will ****** be released... Shortly - in due time - before long - in good time

    I'm starting a company who wants to get paid to write the copyright applications?
    O.o

    As soon as everyone else who qualifies lol. I am pretty sure all the information (whether from T2, Pax etc etc) will be pooled together and the information randomly pulled to match the numbers the devs request, this I made from an educated guess at from the fine print with Torchlight 2, PAX Lifetime subs etc.

    So, for instance if day one requires 5000 testers they will randomly grab 5000 accounts and send keys to those via e-mail.

    So what about people that have CO lifetime, STO lifetime, AND pre-ordered Torchlight 2? Will we be getting 3 keys? Getting only one key but getting in much sooner than everyone else??? ;)

    This question was asked somewhere on this forum before and answered by a dev. You will get one key. But if you get any advantage etc, I dont remember that much. Maybe you can try to search similar threads about beta for answer?
