If you bought the alpha pack I imagine you can still download the client from steam and just use the same login info to get your goodies.  I usually only startup steam if I'm playing something from it so I'll just do the standard download.

I logged in for the first time, and had no choice where to spawn. The game dropped me in front of three enemies. I was dead in seconds.

Great game design in action.  Ohhhhh, I see.

Yup I have mocked my friends at SOE for the idea of the tutorial in game is to immediately start you in a drop pod going to a hotspot that may or may not have any friendlies near it. Skeet shooting for noobs.

Please don't take this too seriously, and I know it's old, but you know all those complains about the game not having a tutorial, not being friendly, not explaining stuff, etc?

Well you have the equivalent amount of station cash now so you can buy some certs.

Yeah that seems to be the default right after character creation, you don't get to spawn at a safe base or anything.  It's pretty dumb.

Woo hoo! Rock on. If any of you are looking for a home on PS2 and are interested in the above server/faction, let us (Way or I) know.

Made a dirty NC on waterson just to see the game since Mattherson seems to be locked out. No idea wtf I am doing, but got 4 kills and then destroyed abruptly in whatever the fuck base I got dropped by. Overall it feels rather slow.

Went into launch day knowing about being pod dropped right after character creation.

Created character.
Pod dropped.
Intentionally maneuver my pod so that it smashes into an enemy aircraft to destroy it.
No, the impact killed me and did nothing to the aircraft.

So, I died even before I hit the ground, beat that!

Beta client won't uninstall.  Uninstall manually.
Try to download client from Steam?  Won't install(no subscription)

 awesome, for real

I think it's a sign.

The "No subscription" thing on Steam is solved by restarting Steam. Uninstall is performed by deleting the beta folder. Crash on loading is apparently just a result of high traffic. Solved by trying again.

Connery and Waterson are the two big destinations for all the major outfits. If anyone is at all unsure where to play, those are probably a good place to ensure you have good fights and decent people next to you.

And lots of server queues, maybe.

I believe it's a ticking clock thing, but I'm not positive. There's smaller ones too for less money, like 1 and 3 days or so.
