Stay tuned for any related announcement once the Beta Weekends draw near!

Astral Diamonds are a special currency within the game. If you are familiar with STO or CO, they are similar to how Dilithium and Questionite works in those games, respectively.

Because this information is not full revealed, I do not want to give any answers that may change by release. So, what I will do is point you to this article on the STO site about Dilithium, to help give you a better understanding of what Astral Diamonds might be used for, how they might be obtained, and how they might be traded and relate to Zen: Dilithium 101

The question was actually answered when you bought the access, if they included an NDA with submission of payment, then yes you are bound by an NDA. If you were not informed of an NDA at the time of payment or prior to, then it would be illegal for them (in the US anyway) to include one after the fact, since that would involve ammending a contract, which BOTH parties have to agree to. If you paid and they try to deny you access based on the signing of an NDA, you basically are entitled to a refund and treble damages, plus court costs and legal fees. You wont get access, because the contract would be void, but ****.... pay 200, get 800.... hmmm interesting thought.

LAWFUL EVIL FOR THE WIN

Actually, up-to-date and currently legal binding NDA Contracts do not show up until your are trying to access said material. For example, in the case of CO and STO, when you first tried to log into them as a Tester while their testing phases were under an NDA, you would immediately be forced to agree to an NDA or choose do disagree and the client will terminate.

The flawed logic in the quote is understood when you realize that you are not paying for the product when buying Founder's Packs. The product is Free to Play. You are paying for virtual goods within the finished product come release. It just so happens, that they have included the ability to for Founders to enter into the CB tests, which may or may not be under an NDA. It also just so happens that some of the final products that these Founders packs contain may also be claimable in said Beta Testing.

However, this has no bearing on whether CBT will be under an NDA or not.. what I will say is if the NDA is indeed dropped for CBT, there will be an announcement prior or during.

There was mention of a Sphynx that posed a riddle however... and I'll leave it at that.

An up to date NDA yes works on free access, the second you pay even $ 1.00 for it, it must be included in the original contract. It can be ammended, but not added without express consent by both parties or it is a breach of contract. Any NDA after that point, which is not an amendment, would be treated in court as "Signed Under Duress" and be thrown out.

As far as NDA being dropped for CBT, you can announce it all you want. The contract date is date of payment, after that it is a mute point.

Again, you are not paying for the unfinished, or even finished product because the product is free to play. You are paying for virtual goods within the finished product. The product is not finished nor does the product cost any money.
