Steam launch?

[srand]

I got the email from Steam that the game has launched into EA. Should we be checking email for our backer keys now?

Yup - we'll be mailing them out shortly.

Also I've linked my Steam account to this forum account. That is not my old alpha game account. Will linking my old alpha account (through Steam) also link this forum account to the same? Or if I want my forum account tied to my Steam account do I need to login to the game (through Steam) with it?

So far as I know, because the forum and game accounts are completely separated, linking your game account to your Steam account won't change your linkage here on the forum. However, we've gone through several iterations of how the forums tie in and I haven't actually tried it myself, so please take that with a grain of salt. (And hopefully if I am wrong @Silvonis will chime in here and set me straight.)

Did you want to keep your forum account and game account linked to different Steam accounts?

I wanted to tie all three together, but if that's not possible I don't mind using this forum account for a game account. I like having my forum and game identities tied together if possible. I don't have any characters on alpha that I can't reroll. They're all for test and none of them advanced enough that I can't make up the progress. My alpha account is really old and I'm just being sentimental which is stupid and impractical.

I'll wait for KS key emails and go from there. Eric's instructions on the blog page seem clear enough. Thanks for the reply.
