    Good luck, you and I both have been eagerly awaiting the invites. I'll be seriously disappointed if I don't get one

    Apparently mine is too, apparently only people that spend their lives playing get the invites :\

    While I'm pretty sure this isn't true, and I doubt you meant that literally - you have to admit that someone who did do that probably would make a better tester, having more time and all to test things. :)

    It has nothing to do with then money . Now I'm guessing it has something to do with where you live.

    To add to my previous post on things that my fleetmates and I think we can rule out (with only 12-15 of us discussing this of which 5-6 had invites, there's nothing statistically valid about any of the conclusions we drew): location doesn't seem to matter in the data collection process. The 5 people live in the US, but so do 5 of the people who didn't get the invites. And of those it was about half and half split by region (e.g. 1/2 the coast people get invites, 1/2 don't). So location doesn't seem to factor in.

    Play time could contribute. I had more time on Tribble for testing than my fleetmates who got invites (I didn't), but most of it wasn't all that recent (think January for last Tribble play through; none of the members who got invites had tested new content either). The others had been playing more on Holodeck than I had of late. One interesting thing we did notice was that all the people who got invites that we knew of were ranked highly in the fleet donations leaderboards. They were all in the top 5ish slots. Might mean fleet donations or dil/doff grinding is part of the equation.

    I am a near 500 day veteran and a past tribble tester. But no invite WTF. Guess being a long time paying customer dose not matter that much. :mad:

    Congrats to all that have gotten the invites for the closed beta. I myself are a little annoyed at how PWE and Cryptic are handling this expansion. I was a devout follower and player of STO until PWE took over. They said they would not change anything in the game, but thats all they have done is change it and charge everyone for their stuff. I know some of the LTS players are not upset by this and No I am not an LTS. Cryptic should give a little extra something to them other than just a borgified Reman. The LTS people put forth money to help this game get going from a rocky start.
    Ok , now I will get down from my soap box. PWE just remember that your subscribers and LTS members are the ones that have kept this game going through good and bad times. I myself have been F2P since the first day it started due to money constraints like a lot of the other players. I have been with STO since open beta and I will be here through the Legacy fo Romulans.

    please please can I get an invite. I have been playing for a little over a month now and would be honored if I could get an invite. Blemishes and all I can wait to see what you guys have been working so hard on.

    If I don't get an invite i'll still be happy once romulan faction is brought into play.

    Hoping for a season 8 :-D

    Question, the OP stats that there is no NDA just make sure to post in the tribble forums, however my invite specifically says there is an NDA and after talking to one of the Devs in game he confirmed what my invite was saying. Is there a lack of communication over there Cryptic?

    No that just means you are the 14th person in line to get in, just calm down and wait a few minutes.

    I just realized something awesome: May 21 is barely a month away. :D

    Even if you don't get an invite, you don't have that long to wait.

    You know, considering the Devs have lives and it's 8PM in their time zone, I'm guessing there won't be any more invites for today.

    Your opinion is, as the borg would say... Irrelevant

    "The invites were programmatically generated based on criteria we were looking for and somewhat random from there. Round 1 of closed beta is very small and we've maxed out the capacity on TRIBBLE with queues to get in.

    We are going to be adding more people as we get closer to launch and there will be an open beta if you don't get one of the invites prior to launch.

    We appreciate that not everyone gets an invite and we're sorry. There are many many captains out there and this is a very focused test until we're ready to get the open beta started.

    Thank you for your patience. May 21 is coming up fast!"

    Cryptic, buddy, pal, bestest friend in the whole wide world....I know "lives under a rock" isn't exactly a valid mailing address, but I think my invite got lost in the mail or some weird alien canine might have eaten it, but umm think you could try sending mine again??

    :)

    (yes I know that won't get me an invite to the closed beta, but a guy can dream)

    If you were invited into Closed Beta Round 1, then you will be able to log onto the TRIBBLE test server, and if you have an open character slot (I've heard that if you have more than 3 characters on TRIBBLE already, you have to delete all but 2 of them to get an open slot) then you can create a Romulan on TRIBBLE.

    So if you suspect that your email filter may have nuked your invite email, the email was a formality to let you know that you'd already been granted access. So you can always log onto TRIBBLE and try.

    We'll be sending more invites over the next couple of weeks and we'll have an Open Beta prior to launch. Legacy of Romulus is only a month away, so even if you don't get an invite now, you'll be able to create a Romulan very soon!
