Obviously if they don't have GR they can't be forced into starting in Praetorea
And yeah... I don't like anything that forces people's hands like that.
I think a game of options, such as this is, should not withhold such an important option, no matter how much they hope to wow them with their brand new starter experience.
In short, Judas Ace was correct (Based on what we've been told, at least) and I agree with Dumpleberry.

Given that we're in a thread talking about GR, and given that any influx of new players is most likely to come from the new boxes on the shelves, it didn't seem that hard to figure out.|

But yes, for accuracy's sake: If you don't buy GR then you can't use GR and therefore I'm sure you can still make a hero or villain in PC or RI.
But AFAIK, once you have GR on your account, then you can only make a character in PC or RI if you already have characters. The level doesn't matter, again AFAIK, so for someone that has only the GR edition could just make a level 1 in Praetoria, log out and make whatever they wanted. But I doubt that'll be clear since the devs definitely want new players starting in Praetoria.

It's an alcoholic squirrel though, I think - so beer has probably replaced nuts on its diet

Speaking as someone who has misread something that was posted on more than one occasion myself
, I ask you how often do we see a post where something has been taken totally out of context from what the original poster was trying to say?Of course there is the possibility that my recent experiences reading the STO forums have colored my perceptions on how easily people read things the wrong way.
But I do thank you for taking the time to respond in further detail.

What you guys never heard of Beer-Nuts?
They give you free nuts for drinking beer! It's a win/win scenario.

Out of curiosity, what powersets/AT's did you solo with in Praetoria?
