Why dose valve do this with every ROOST patch? all they do is make us deal with huge ammounts of Noobs, and Tking punk 12 year olds for weeks on end till they get sick of the game and leave.

because they want to sell more copies. other questions?

[=GG= Mr Moe]

I think some of you are just toooo sensitive

It helps keep the game alive.

I was just joking before. The last free week I had quite alot of fun showing nice and friendly noobs (I mean it in the nicest way possible) the ropes. May have been a slight increase in greifers but I can live with that.

Hmm why not make it a free weekend after the patch releases :X.

[snake byte..]

Valve doesn't do it, Tripwire does it. And we do it because these "noobs" that you speak of are the poeple that buy the game and keep Tripwire in business, keep my family fed, and keep FREE updates rolling out. And poeple are absolutely right we do it to keep the game selling, keep it alive, and keep it growing.

I think the patch will be released with the free trial. Guess we will wait and see.

[Zetsumei]

I hope that there will be plenty of servers updated then or people will find lots of slow downloading servers :X. Thinking they just run custom maps.

Well Noobish people aside you can bet your Bolt Action rifle that that at least the TWI servers will be updated and ready to go the moment the patch is out. Not only that they will most likely be full too! Thats what happened last patch. We got 50 player servers and the offical dev servers where full for about 4 months in a row till people started to branch out to other servers. It says on the site that it all starts at 9AM PST. Mabe they will release the patch with the free trial. Not a good idea IMHO as it will place a major ammount of people DLing all at one time of day. Still alot of the adults will be at work by then.

BTW this may sound like a realy dumb question but when dose 9AM PST start in Central time?

After all the rhetoric, please tell me you're joking

[Private Who?]

well....coming from a DoD / CoD clan.... I think a free weekend gives me and a few of my friends ANOTHER opportunity to try and bring some of our clan to RO. Sure they might be noobs...but I know at least two guys who - once they got it - really enjoy the game. So bring 'em on.

9am PST translates to 11am CST.

[hyppos]

Really should have posted this up on the front page or steam news page in advance... didn't hear about it till today and i think people not specifically looking for it would not know about it thus would miss out

[uconn92]

free trials are good, it's what got me into the game, without it i wouldn't have found the great world of RO.

The mod was my free trial...

If you can't deal with noobs, don't play on public servers.

While I really hate dealing with the influx of, for want of a better word, retards, most of whom use the free time to deliberately wreak havoc and nothing more, I still support the free trials. The more people that are exposed to the game, the bigger the community will become and at the moment, bigger is still better. It keeps the game alive and highlights just how big this realism "niche" really is. It's only a niche because realism fans don't know about it.

Not to mention that it builds interest and funding in the next game. And I guess as Ramm mentioned, it pays for all those free updates that people keep getting. Personally I think we've already gotten more than enough and it absolutely astounds me to see the number of ingrates on these boards complaining that there should be more, more, more, all for free. Considering that TWI quite possibly hold the record for the most additional post-release content from any game company ever (excepting MMO's, where you pay for the content every month anyway), I think we've already had our money's worth many times over.
