Looking to give the game a try now with the new program. How long is the trial? Are there restrictions to it? Thanks in advace to anyone who would like to send me a key.
I'm new to the game and having fun, but my partner got me the collector's edition so I have three 10 day trial keys. If those run out I think they give me 5 buddy keys I can send to ... would be happy to share. Send me an IM if I'm online, or a message. I think for the buddy keys I'll need your e-mail address to send.
hmmmmmmm... I set the game up today when i got home from work and I think I am already "done" with the trial. I did about an hour of tutorial type stuff, and then the NPCs just started telling me a message about buying the game. There seems to be no more to do in the trial now. Is this right? About an hour of gameplay for the trial?

This is what I found online about buddy invites:
What restrictions apply to accounts using a guest pass?
The following restrictions are placed on all accounts using a guest pass:
Cannot trade player-to-player, send items via mail or use the Exchange.
Cannot send in-game tells except those on the friends list (but can receive all tells)
Cannot participate in zone chat
Cannot send a friend request, or team/fleet invites (but can receive and accept them)
Cannot play beyond level 3, or access missions other than "Stranded in Space," once outside of the tutorial Episode.
Yep. It is apparently just the tutorial and one 5 minute mission. This is the worst free trial I have ever seen. 12 hours to download, 1 hour to play through all the content that isn't locked.... and 90% of that is basic tutorial. I honestly didn't get to play enough to even form an opinion of the game. I'll wait for a proper free trial, or for the game to go free to play.
I still have plenty of invites left for anyone who wants to try the game, just send me a PM with your email address

Patching the demo now but what i've read it's going to be way to short for that massive download....
If anyone has a buddy key, please let me know I'd be forever in your debt :P
e-mail me at MrTRiot@teksavvy.com if you can help me out! thanks!
You're actually patching the entire client, so when you enter a retail key you'll be all ready to go. Just let me know if you want a referral key to enter before that.

I received a "Friend Referal Trial" aka "Demo" aka what I already had lol....
Does cryptic really expect people to pay 40$ after an hour an a half trial? I hope not. It was Fun. Pretty WoWish with a bit of button mashing space combat....I might actually buy it but the demo/"friend referal trail" isn't long enough, especially for that price.
It should only cost $30 with 30 days free. Since the monthly rate is $15/mo. then the Retail Key is really only costing $15 more. But I agree, the demo is short, but it's also early in the game development for a free trial to be released. I'm sure it will get extended down the road. For now, unless you know someone with a Guest or Buddy pass, that's all they're offering.

Two more buddy invites left ...
Really? I didn't see your post here so I assume you received a demo from someone else, but I was thinking it was more than that.
