Where did you read it ends on the 30th? You can get in the beta for presumably 40 dollars when elite founders ends (this was the price before).

And uhm... if you have to forgo paying rent in order to buy video games, you might want to stick to humble bundles and/or reprioritise.

yes it will come back, check the schedule sticky. 

But according to that we should get another alpha patch before that happens, so i'm guessing you will have at least to mid-late may to get the elite founders package. 

at any rate i would expect a announcement from the devs at least a week in advance when it's ending. So people can get their starnames in and stuff. 

You need relevant pictures to remind you of your age! Quick!

Don't worry, I can pretty much guarantee I'll beat you to the grave
