I've no idea how to access this. No mention on either the Darkspore website I could find, or the eastore page about it.
My Steam install was time limited, it deleted itself. I'd really love to get into this open beta if I could figure out how.
I couldn't even find it on Steam when I tried a few weeks back (whenever it was posted in this thread that you could get the beta from there). The only Darkspore stuff it had for me was the pre-order.
Like you I haven't been able to find a way to get the open beta either. I'm at the point where I'm just not going to bother anymore, I did pick up Spore and all it's expansions for $7.50 total the other day and I've had some fun playing those. Darkspore could be fun, but I just don't buy PC games without having tried them first anymore. EA is not making this one easy to try from my experience (I realize others have not had these issues) so I'll probably pass.
My Rift sub still has a few months and it and Civ 5 can generally keep my attention as well as I need anyway. This piqued my interest and might have found some playtime, but not if I can't preview it.
