The intention is to have SQ 42 ready near the end of the Beta cycle with enough time to play test and fix major bugs and issues and then have a final Open Beta sequence where backers with access will be able to get a "head start" by being the only ones able to play SQ 42 for keepers while in the final stages of Open Beta.

The idea being that backers should have the opportunity to start the PU once SC goes live as "Citizens" as a thank you to those who contributed hard resources to the development of SC. The other portion of SQ 42 is that CIG expects people to play through it multiple times because they have expanded its story arc options and its going to play more like a "choose your own adventure" grand story arc then it was originally before the massive funding cycles started.

"Citizenry" is only applied to a single character not an entire account. If/When you make other characters, either through having multiple pledge level packages or waiting until we have a live launch, each character will have to complete SQ 42 in order to become a card carrying Citizen.

Got it?

Don't make me have'ta Troll ya Bro!
