Free week should be extended

[gun4hire]

This free week idea was really nice. I think it would be great to continue it for another week!!! It would continue to bring in new people (targets)

sure some newbies were a pain and we had to scold them for TKing, but in general most were great. We all semed to help with the numerous questions "How do I fire the main gun??" I think we helped sell a few copies of the game..another week would be a win-win

gun---who wishes girlie men would not bail out right before the kill shot hits---

I say lets wait a few more patches and some more new content and then maybe do another one

 

[Warlord]

Another five days would be nice. RO does have a steep learning curve for the players that are new to realism based gameplay.

Just buy the game!

 

[smegger]

Just buy the game!

bingo!

 

[Muddy_May]

bingo!

It really is a bargain

Please no. Just wait until the next patch. Im afraid im gonna kill my cat or something if this goes on any longer.

Agreed (but not about killing the cat part cause I don't have a cat ).
Wait until next patch. I think continuous advertisment over a long time is more effective than one quick burst of craziness.

No Way, all the regulars on my servers are just hoping the trial will end! Too much grief!

 

[MrBunsy]

It's been great fun! Teaming up in a tank and killing newbs is hilarious. But I suppose if it did continue they'd all learn how to play and then my fun would be spoiled

I'm really keen on seeing the new number of players after this free week

Ya man, so what is your bet? How many will there be in a couple days? I say about 2500

ps. On the weekends I meant!

 

[Rak]

God, please no

Let's give the newbies that came with free week some time to adjust the game. I don't think they have been assimilated completely Stupid TK'ing and rambos that spawncamp are still very easy to see

It would be a better idea to make another free week maybe 2-3 months later, rather than 2 weeks nonstop.

 

[DirtyRat]

a free trial period again in 3-6months time would be good idea after another update...but for now i've enjoyed the busy servers, but not the amount of kicking/banning and warning i've had to do as admin

 

[Arete]

What was the RO player count pre-trial? About 1000-1500 on weekends, right?

 

[Recce]

I don't think it should be extended, but rather do another one at a later date. Because the majority of people who tried the free week would have had a "Steam game" already. I don't know where, outside of RO:OST or Value that the free week was advertised and I doubt a significant minority installed Steam for the free week. I'm sure that Value wil have stats on people getting Steam accounts. So when those numbers have increase, then there should be another free week. And hopefully, the noobs (not newbies) will have deleted their free copy and can't be a*sed to download it a 2nd time

Agreed - The RGN Server was full 95% of the time. Perhaps after a few more Tripwire embellishments, updates and enhacements. (In time to instigate Holiday Sales) By then, we'll surely have some extraordinary custom maps and mutators to further entice new users.

For now, its been fun but rather "trying".

I'm sorry but I think if you are interested in the game then go buy it.
Offering to extend the freebie is no way build up a larger community.

It's been a great idea but we will only get more people playing and staying with the game because they liked it so much they went out and bought it...

 

[SilvuR]

I definately agree that the trial should be extended, but only because I wont have enough money to purchase this awesome game until next Monday.
