What happens to our characters. . .

System

on the tribble test server when it goes live? do we loose them or can they be transferred? what type of reward, if any, are we looking at for taking part of the beta?

You can't transfer them to live but you can keep them on tribble unless they ever wipe the server.

No, I can't imagine any situation where we would ever allow a character from a test shard to be transferred to a live shard.

As a bonus, within the three weeks following when the F2P build is live, we'll be giving out awards to your character on Holodeck based on what you accomplished on Tribble. If you get a Federation character from start to level 11, we'll give you a free 8 hour XP boost item. If you get to level 31, we'll give you a reasonably large chunk of dilithium (exactly how much depends a bit on how the economy tunes up in testing, but this will be a meaningful award). And if you get a character to level 51, we'll give you a bonus ship slot and a unique title that only the most elite Tribblers will have. This award only applies to Federation characters that freshly started on Tribble. It does not apply to characters that transfer in once we open up character transfer.

At this time, I want to announce that we'll be giving out the traditional unique Tribble award for playing on Tribble. Anyone that gets a Federation character to at least level 6, or levels up a character that they transfer over (once character transfer is active at a later date), will be awarded a unique Tribble item for their character on Holodeck.

As with all the other awards we are giving out for playing on Tribble, we plan to make them available to you after the free-to-play game goes live on Holodeck. We are going to try and do this near when it goes live, but we are promising that it will be within 3 weeks.
