I didn't get an invite (hardly surprising as I'm neither Gold or Lifetime), but I'm glad it's a closed beta since going straight to open will lead to ZOMG ROMULANS as "feedback". I hope a good selection of veterans who are in the best position to know what all is going on were invited, and that the feedback works well. Good luck with the whole thing.

Depending on how well I enjoy myself during the test, I may actually consider picking up the Legacy Pack or Starter Pack. Naturally, though, I expect most of my time will be spent reporting and cataloging bug issues.

Well i have not got one "yet" and i am life time, been here from before day 1 and beta tested on the test server a number of times.
So don't know how they are picking them, you might have a better chance than me hahahaha.
Awesome! I can't wait to create my Romulan toon. One thing I wanted to mention: I looked at the pictures at the Remans on the website, their ears are not pointy. I know I'm nitpicking. But I'd like the ears to be corrected if possible. Thank you PWE/Cryptic!

To be honest it is probably for the best I don't get one anyway. I live in a rural area of Canada and I have a stone age internet plan that actually has... gasp... bandwidth restrictions I actually have to keep an eye on.
Getting invited to Beta would be cool but I'd be pushing it. Because there's no way I'd pass on that chance. ;-)

Q: Is there a way to get invited to the closed beta?
A: There is no special thing you can do to get a beta invite. The invites being sent out are based on play profiles and data that we need to collect. We will continue adding as many people as the test shard can handle. We are planning on a full Open Beta before launch.
I guess my play profile is inadequate....

Guess I didn't get invited, oh well just means it'll be more of a surprise later and I'll get to practice patience until then. So Hyped about this!!!! Thank you so much for making a romulan faction!
The Star Trek Online team is happy to announce that Legacy of Romulus is beginning a limited Closed Beta!
The first round of invites are in the process of being sent out. If you receive one of these invites, then the account associated with the email address has been granted access to create a Romulan character on the TRIBBLE test server.
While the first round of invites is limited, we will be adding more accounts as we approach the May 21 release date.
Here's a few Q&As about this Closed Beta
Q: Is there a way to get invited to the closed beta?
A: There is no special thing you can do to get a beta invite. The invites being sent out are based on play profiles and data that we need to collect. We will continue adding as many people as the test shard can handle. We are planning on a full Open Beta before launch.
Q: What is available to play in Round 1?
A: You may create a Romulan character and play up to a midway point in the Romulan storyline. We have an artificial stop midway through as we put finishing touches on the remaining episodes.
Similarly, Klingon character creation is still disabled and will be opened up once we completely unlock all of the Klingon episodes in the new 1-20 progression.
Q: Is there an NDA for this Closed Beta?
A: No. Please tell us what you think and post your feedback in the TRIBBLE forums!
Q: Is this the final version for May 21 launch?
A: No. This is an early build with many bells and whistles still missing. There is no VO yet and many of the cutscenes aren't finalized. You will find bugs and rough patches, but we would like to start getting feedback on the Romulans at this time.
Q: What is the team working on now?
A: We are putting the finishing touches on the remaining Romulan and Klingon episodes, adding in all the VO, all the special cutscenes, as well as the final rewards and bug fixes. We will be updating TRIBBLE regularly with updates that will slowly unlock all the Legacy of Romulus updates.
We are also working on the ships and updates that will be releasing in the months after Legacy of Romulus launch.
Q: What do we expect from this Beta?
A: We want to get player feedback on the new ships, the new episodes, the feel of the Romulans, and any other issues that come up. We will be able to react to some, but not all, of this feedback.
Q: If I get a beta invite via email, what do I do?
You will need to patch up to the TRIBBLE public test server, and then create a Romulan. It is ok if you copy or play your other existing characters, but we would prefer that you play a Romulan and provide feedback on the new faction.
THINGS TO NOTE:
If you are already playing on TRIBBLE when you get the invite, you will need to log out and back in so that your account access can be reset.
C-Store Purchases are disabled on TRIBBLE.
Legacy Pack items are not available on TRIBBLE.
TRIBBLE is a Work in Progress Testing shard - things can go wrong and while we want to avoid character wipes, it isn't guaranteed.
We may have to bring the TRIBBLE shard down at any time for emergency maintenance.
Fleets are not the same on TRIBBLE as they are on HOLODECK
TRIBBLE is still open to ALL testers, but only Closed Beta invitees can create a Romulan character. You can still team with them, and play along side even if you don't have an invite.
TRIBBLE only allows 3 character slots, so you will need to empty a character slot to create a Romulan
Please keep an eye on the TRIBBLE forums for updates and further announcements. We look forward to your feedback and thank you in advance for helping us make Legacy of Romulus awesome!
What my question is:
Who determines who gets to access this beta?

"Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them." -Thomas Marrone
This is exactly what I've been hoping to see come up, but I guess I haven't dumped enough cash into the game to be one of the lucky few to get an invite

P.S. Disregard one of my questions in the ASK CRYPTIC.
How many of you have got an invite and live outside of the USA ?
I can still move.
I can still fight.
I will never give up!
I guess my play profile is inadequate....
People are getting emails about testing, this is how most people know, once you login to the test server you can make a rommie,
Apparently mine is too, apparently only people that spend their lives playing get the invites
