Star Trek Online

I'm in the beta and so far so good. This game doesn't have the polish of WoW but any Star Trek fans will surely find it enjoyable.

Star Trek Online Open Beta Is A Go!

The Star Trek Online open beta has begun, and will last through to January 26. Here's a look at Cryptic's Beta FAQ:
Q: Where can I get a beta key?
A: Open beta keys are included in all pre-order boxes, and are given out by selected partners:

FilePlanet
Ten Ton Hammer
Massively
Zam
New partners will be updated daily.
Can't find a key at a partner site? Still feeling lucky? Well, if you have a registered account with us, you may also receive one of the keys we'll be sending out at random to our userbase.

Q: When will the Open Beta start and end?
A: The Open Beta began on January 12, 2010 and will end on January 26, 2010.

Q: How do I keep playing after the Open Beta ends?
A: If you have pre-ordered Star Trek Online, you will have access to the headstart period, which begins on January 29, 2010.

Q: I am having issues with the game, where do I get help?
A: Please visit our support section for common issues, or the forums for community support.

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: I have the Closed Beta client installed, do I need to re-download/install?
A: No, you don't have to re-install. Your closed beta client will patch up to the open beta client automatically. In addition, you don't need an Open Beta key to continue playing. Just launch the game, login and play!

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.

Update: There are some non-subscriber keys now available at FilePlanet.
