Okay, my factionmates and I have been bugging soe and we got some answers.
1.) You need to download the station launcher to get the other games.
2.) SOE is working to upgrade everyone's account to a station access pass. However, its taking a while. They should all be activated within the next couple days.
3.) Pirates of the Burning Sea and PlanetSide are NOT going to be available to us. We WILL have access to EQ, EQ II, and SWG.
4.) The Access should start soon, and it will run for 60 days.
We got this from a phone conversation, an email, and a live chat.
Here is the live chat:
Initial Question: Hi, MXO players were supposed to get the station access pass for us to try out new games since MXO is closing. It seems that on the station launcher I have EQ and EQII, and possibly SWG but not pirates or planetside, or vanguard. I had a few questions regaurding this whole thing.
TSR Joseph H.: Hi, my name is TSR Joseph H.. Please allow me a few moments to read your question. Mercio: Sorry you're probably dealing with this question alot. TSR Joseph H.: they have not unlocked everything yet, but Pirates and Planet side are not going to be available Mercio: Okay Mercio: Any reason why not? Mercio: Or is that just what they decided to give us?***He went afk for 10 minutes here in the middle of our conversation***
Mercio: Still here? Mercio: Hello? Mercio: I have another question if you can come back.***Still another 4 minutes later***
TSR Joseph H.: one moment
***Two minutes later*** TSR Joseph H.: and what is the question? Mercio: I recently (like two days ago) did the trial for SWG to download the game Mercio: could you tell me if swg is still on the trial, or if I'm on the full trial Mercio: full game* TSR Joseph H.: full game and all the expansions also Mercio: Okay great. And so I will have the station access (atleast for SWG, EQ, and EQII) for 2 months? TSR Joseph H.: yes TSR Joseph H.: 60 days Mercio: Okay that'll do it. Thanks for your time, Joseph.
Thanks for posting that, Mercio.
FYI: Full accounts for Free Realms are also included in the 60 day trials for MxO subscribers.
No Pirates OR Planetside?
Then it's not really a Station pass...

i want!
No Problem, Walrus!
do we still have to pay for july of mxo my account info says next billing date is july 1st
Pirates is offering a 14 day trial btw, which I havent noticed before. While fishing around on the SOE sites its on the banner ad in some places. I signed up for the trial which I might play around with after July 31st.
I'm kinda sad Pirates and PS wont be available, those were the two that I was considering checking out

Perhaps PS and Pirates are next up on the chopping block lol
Unfortunately I still don't have access. I'm guessing they underestimated how many people would resub to see the game end. Probably thought they'd only have to go in and work magic on 50 accounts, and suddenly they have to deal with a few hundred.
it looks like Joseph H is a one man army today i was in support with him just and nice to see someone posted about it
One of my former MxO-playing friends is currently playing Pirates, and I was hoping to join him for a little while and check it out.
Is there an official reason as to why we're not going to be given access to that or Planetside...?

Seeing as how FR launches from it's own website and, to my knowledge, isn't even compatible with the Station Launcher how does one go about getting their FR account upgraded to a full members account with this.. compensation we're receving?
I don't know what just happened but I just lost my Matrix Online Subscription...I can't log in through Station Launcher or stand alone MxO client
