You didn't pay in advance for the headstart - You purchased the game that comes out on the 2nd. At this point, you are not paying a subscription fee, and the time you are spending in game is currently free of charge.
The company gets their money early, they get an impression of numbers based on people who preorder. The carrot for this, you get to play a headstart. The carrot has bits of mold on it in this case.
What is odd, if they cannot handle the headstart load, without lag and q'ing, what makes anyone think live will go well?
The thing these idiots don't realise is that they could actually sell their retail keys/retail boxes after release if they don't even bother activating them. The headstart was linked to your Open Beta key if you pre-ordered. I have a retail key on my D2D account that is in no way linked to my STO account, htus I could sell it off if I wanted to (won't be though, I am loving this game atm). QQ some more please.
Realy the only thing ive payed so far is my 5$ preorder fee I dont get billed for the game untill feb 2nd so i dont know what the heck your *****ing about
Welcome to Star Trek Offline. This is total BS. I Pre-ordered because the offered the headstart for pre-orders. I should have waited a few months until they get this TRIBBLE ironed out. Way to TRIBBLE over the real fan base.
Lt. Cmdr 3 so far and counting - We're snowed in here in Virginia, so I have plenty of other things to do atm when the server is down. Any way, going for Lt Cmdr 5 tomorrow, and who knows, maybe Lt. Cmdr 7 or so by actual launch.
That sounds like a pretty decent headstart over anyone starting on the 2nd.
Then where the hell is my money? I was promised something that I purchased in good faith. I've been looking forward to this for a year (I know - geek :cool:). I don't want to be a pet product tester, and have to pay for the privilege.

It's not "free" if you "paid for it in advance".
So quit saying that.
Also, i agree, totally unacceptable.
You didn't pay a cent more by preordering the game, so it is free. Everyone else will pay just as much to play the game, but you got in 4 days early.

Hey dumb ****. You have to PAY to get into headstart. It's not free

My opinion = win.
The headstart was just a bonus, so it's all good to me.
