That date in december is the last version update. Check your order history not the downloads page for your order date. You're probably in the same boat as me as in next week you'll get access. (Impulse was the stardock store at the time)

Also, if you spent the last two years inanely fantasizing about this game, you get an earlier e-mail. But it comes with two diseases... 

I pre-ordered through Impulse, and I have Fallen Enchantress.  I downloaded it through the Stardock website as per the instructions in the email.  I haven't fired up Impulse in a long time.

Wait it out, it'll come.

That is funny, i am one of the early pre-orders and i never received an email, and the game has not shown up in impulse. But i was able to get the game through the earlier journal

I did contact support, thats why I made this post. Support told me you had to preorder from the Stardock store to qualify. Though i did explain i preordered on Impulse. Yay for uninformed Support Personnel?

Just to clarify for a few people. The beta will not be available via impulse. It will only be available through the  stardock store. However users who preordered from impulse will have access to it.. they just have to log on to to the stardock store using their account info they used on impulse.

I got no email, but the download link was in the stardock store when I logged in. Have you checked?
