...that an MMO doing this poorly would have a free trial. I've hear things are getting better, and I'd love to try the game, but there's no way in hell I'm buying without trying first. So, any word on a free trial? |

There are three kinds of people - those who can count, and those who can''t. |

Thanks for the info. But honestly, that's a really stupid way to do a demo. I can't understand why they don't just do a regular free trial like any other game (e.g. WoW, LoTRO). It's not like the game was just released. |

The reason is that VG is a REALLY large game. They don't want people to need to spend 14 hours to download the game to trial it. They want something you can download pretty quickly and get into the game and play so you can decide without making a huge effort if you like the game. |

No-one on these forums is Sephiroth. If you think you are, you need help. |

that's a terrible equation for starters. you are saying that grinding = raiding. raiding = waiting till next raid. stand afk = raid. ironically instead of making you look clever, it makes you look stupid, and you make it sound like raiding is a bad thing. if by grind you mean repetitively killing mobs, every game contains this, how else would you level? It's a stupid phrase, how would you prefer your leveling to work? by giving out terrible equations? And I didn't realise diplomacy and crafting was about 'grinding'? seems you definately are a bit silly. |

No, but the hassle of buying someone else's crap on Ebay might. |

Vanguard is 20gb, they have to release a trial island simply because not too many people would sit through the download, and while I welcome new players I'd rather not have them running all over the place clogging up ooc and acting like morons and generally ruining my good time which is what you get with "standard".
I'd like to see vanguard get a few thousand more subscribers and get some more money for the team, but there is a large portion of the mmo population I could do without and am glad to have refuge from in Vanguard.
Maybe the fact we don't have a free trial is the reason we don't have too many of those people, if so it is one of if not the best part of the game. |
