I haven't played STO for about a year now, and had 2 chars(FED+KLI). I logged in today, and when i went to the my char's tab it said i have no characters. Have the unused chars been wiped? Or is it just not visible because of the F2P conversion? Or i can't see my chars without a subscription anymore?
another question, IF i still have my chars: will the F2P testing be taking place on a separate server (so i can't use those chars), or i (or cryptic) can just convert it to F2P and i pick it up where i left?
No characters have or ever will be deleted. The Captain's Database went down at the launch of Season 4 (causing the loss of the database data). Your character(s) will not be displayed until you log into the specific character(s). This allows the program that parses the information onto the web server to update the information in the database. You still have to subscribe to STO to access the game, F2P will not go live for sometime.
When the F2P Beta is released it will be on the Tribble or Redshirt test server. You should be able to import one of your character from Holodeck to the Beta test server, but you will not be able to go back.

I hope this answers your questions.
