Buying my copy from Direct2Drive.

See you guys in the Alpha Quadrant!

D2D is just like Steam. Its tied to your GameSpyID. You can resume downloads or re-download at any time.

The interesting thing about joined Trill is the multiple lifespan experience bonus. Wonder how that turns out. Borg bridge officer could be interesting too.

I chose D2D simply because it was 1st to allow international download purchase. My usual haunt is TSB, but when I asked them, they said distributor hasn't indicated whether STO will be available in SEA region.

The Open Beta client is available for download for D2D pre-order customers now.

Open Beta is a go! ....and I can't get in. Stupid client still patching...zzzz. Damn slow.

How da H*LL did you learn about this?!?

Spent a good 3 hours in game yesterday. I rushed through character creation coz its beta and its gonna get wiped later anyways.

The 1st 10mins looked ugly (the game engine gfx) until I realized, eh hang-on, I haven't tweaked the settings yet. >< I did that and voila, it looks gorgeous (to my low standards anyway).

The first few missions are fun and varied enough but I suspect its gonna get repetitive soon looking at all the forum complaints. Still, I enjoyed most of it, partly because its just a refreshing game environment. Can't wait to get some more game time tonight so I can unlock the Klingon PvP game play.

Playing an Andorian Science Officer - Thoris. See you guys ingame!
