I'm downloading the open beta now and I'm wondering, will I have to download this whole thing again? 10GB is a lot for me. It will take me several days to get it.
I'm hoping that this will just be updated into the full version. Is this true?

I can't wait for my borg officer. Muahaha
I think it says on the open beta FAQ that it will be patched to the retail version. So you'll just have to enter a product key or some such.
On top of this will we be able to keep our characters once it goes Live?
Q: What happens when the Open Beta ends?
A: All players will start over once the Open Beta has concluded. However, all pre-order customers will be able to start playing on January 29, 2010, four days before retail launch.
Q: Do I need to re-install when I get my retail copy?
A: No, you don't have to re-install. Your open beta client will patch up to the retail client automatically. All you need to do is activate your retail product key to continue playing after Open Beta ends.
Thanks for the quotes BattleMage! I was looking at the Pre-order FAQ, thats why I couldn't find the info. This is going to be so great! Not only will we have a heads up on what kind of character we will want to build when the final game comes out, we'll be able to get a head start. Just, awesome.
Please remember for those of us that will be in the Head Start. Your bonuses will not start until the official launch day.
E.g: I am looking forward to playing my Joined Trill, however, i can't start playing that until the 5th Feb even though i will be in the Head Start from the 29th Jan.

Please answer this question cryptic.
