Sooo... How 'bout those CO/STO lifers?

Since our beta test is in five days, when are we getting our keys?

Or do we have to wait again, like CO lifers into the STO beta?

    For the founders on the first beta weekend, no key was required. I believe its going to work the same way for CO/STO lifers.

    I believe you are just access to it you could go to this top screen, THE GAME and click redeem key it might show you are a CO/STO lifer as mine shows PC gamer and what mount I have.

    No access for my account and I am a STO lifer. Only shows the PC Gamer key. When I logged into the launcher, it had account error so I assume that my PWE account is not tagged for Neverwinter Beta Weekends.

    If you go to THIS LINK HERE you can download the Neverwinter client.

    Also, on the Star Trek Online forums, Branflakes recently posted:     "Yep! Just found out that STO lifers can now download the client and should gain access automatically when the weekend starts -- no key required. More information should be sent in an email before the weekend starts, I believe."

    Yup. I saw that post as well. Very excited because I have a fleet-mate that is a lifer and will be joining this weekend :) M'Lady is also apparently buying the Guardian Pack so she can join the rest of Beta (she had my friend key first weekend).
    My Specs - Low end, I know, but I am working on it, I promise!

    I got the same thing but after looking that just means the servers are down for the beta testers you do have access just download the game and wait for the 8th to patch and play. I'm a STO lifer and I have the game downloaded but I just can't patch till the weekend which is fine with me as from what my Fleet-mate tells me it's not a huge patch maybe a bit more than a GB, no big deal

    Aye for me it was about a gig for patch was all. 3 gigs down, a gig to patch, plus whatever they added between these two Beta weekends, so expect between 4 - 5 gigs total. That is approximately 10 minutes of downloading so the rest of the weekend should be yours to play like mad. :)

    The account error occurs due to the fact the servers aren't up. It has nothing to do with whether you have access or not.
    I have no news on if access will be automatically flagged or not but I think that's a very logical and likely possibility.

    Not this weekend. Maybe the next one, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

    IIRC, nobody got into any of the STO betas without paying or winning a contest.

    Was able to download client, Can't patch the client tho because of login error (Invalid username or password.)

    Is this expected or is there some issue I don't know about yet?

    If you are STO/CO Lifers then it's likely they haven;t reached you yet (I'm willing to wager Cryptic has been going through and granting access to STO/CO lifers all week and there's a lot of them.) Worst-case scenario: you won;t be allowed to login until Friday morning (Pacific time).

    I just got my NEVERWINTER Email inviting me to play in this weekend's beta BECAUSE I've "been a supporter of Cryptic" by being a "Lifetime subscriber" of Star Trek Online (I'll probably get a third email for being a CO lifer, too) - even though I'm already HotN (Got an email for that, too).

    In any case, confirmation is all but ...uh, confirmed. :)

    Set phasers to D20! We rollin' dwarfs this weekend, and not the Red or Blue kind from space. So many Chimeras will be in the garage this weekend.

    I just got the email saying my beta access has been applied to my account for being a STO lifer, so I imagine they are being pushed out today.

    I have a CO lifetime sub, had it before PWE was ever in the picture, but I have not received any emails about getting into the beta, other than them advertising founder pack purchases. Should my account still be flagged or am I hosed? And if I am hosed, who would I talk to about getting flagged?

    I am a STO lifer, and feel pretty much the same. One place mentions lifers as in. Other mention an email that you need to get... so which is it? Would have been nice with clarification.

    I received the mail for my STO lifer account, but I didn't receive one for my CO lifer account.

    My friend has a CO lifer account and didn't receive any email, but her account has beta access, so it's all good. :)
