"Thinks of the titanic sinking"

Would have loved a trial to see how crappy the game is a couple months ago, but now I'm busy with AoC.  Thanks anyway.

Just a shame that the European trial isn't worth the bandwidth you're using to show it.

14 sites

• 2 which seemingly didn't exist
• 3 which demanded a login in order to proceed (Sorry I really do not need a login to a site in a language I don't speak, and can't understand)
• 8 which did not have any information about tabula rasa within the last 2 weeks (do they know that they are a part of this???)
• 1 (in yoguslavian sp?) that required a mail in (well that would be my guess anyway)

And their site doesn't even allow you to warn other visitors since all comments are "moderated" (read: deleted) .

hmm i dunno.. only a 3 day trial almost doesnt seem worth the download time... maybe if it was a normal 14day trial...

My guess would be that they don't want to give you time to get to the parts of the game that they have updated since the good old (read: buggy) beta days :-)

From what I've saw on the EU sites its a 5 day trial...about the sinking ship it might it might not. It's true the trial is too short  but the way they distribute them isn't so bad. If you could get one by just going on their homepage they wouldn't  be on the homepage of many mmo sites now, would they?:) it's just good marketing.

only 3 days?

I don't gonna download a game for just 3 days to play it..

If it would be 7 or 10 day's I would try it.. then you have also more time to trying out the game

3 days is plently of time to see how crap this game is

I got a 5-day trial from one of the EU sites. I've tried the game before, but due to Murphy and his law, my internet decided to break so I only played for a few hours.

I'll finally be able to try it again now. What I did see of it was loads of fun. It's very different to your usual MMO. Can't wait to try it again!

7 days should be the minimum for an MMORPG trial.  3 days makes me feel like they're afraid I'll get too far and realize how junk a game is, so they really limit my possible playtime so I only get to see the first and most polished parts of the game - generally the tutorial areas.

Someone with confidence in their product would let a player join for at least 7-14 days and give them enough time to really get them interested in all aspects of their MMORPG, hopefully 'hooking' them enough to want to pay and keep enjoying themselves.
