=/\= headstart recommendations

[stoneyface]

according to cryptic, the bonus items from preorder will not be usable until actual launch. so if you wanted to play a trill or have the special ships, i would recommend that people create their alts for the headstart period. that way when launch happens you can create your main character with all the bonus items that you receive from preorder. personally i think it sux that i can't play stoneyface as a trill until launch but what are you going to do. have to wait for my my multiphasic shield and the nx prefix so i am going to wait to create stoneyface until those items are usable.

to clarify:

during the headstart period, people will be playing still using the preorder "beta tester" cd key.

at launch the retail cd keys are released (online distributors a little earlier). when you get your retail key from the company you ordered from, you activate it at the star trek online site and then your preorder bonuses are available for use.
