WAR's free trial goes endless News

MMO PC News by Oli Welsh

9 November, 2009

Mythic is moving Warhammer Online to an "endless" free trial which offers unlimited access to the MMO up to level 10 in the Empire versus Chaos zones, reports GamesIndustry.biz. Previously, the game's free trial had a 10-day time limit.

The new endless free trial is currently live on Mythic's North American servers. It's "coming soon" in Europe according to regional operator GOA.

The free trial allows you to create and play any of the game's 24 race-specific careers. You're limited to levelling up to rank 10 and to the tier one Empire versus Chaos zones, Nordland and Norsca. This area has recently been revamped as part of an effort to improve the experience for new players. There's a new dungeon to enjoy there, as well as three player-versus-player scenarios, and new players are automatically added to a newbie guild.

Mythic has also updated the game to a streaming client, so the initial download will only be 1GB.

It's a good idea, I never sign up for these trials because you make the account and trigger the count-down only to find out you have 20 gigs of data to slowly download before you can start.

That's a fantastic idea for a trial basis. The first 10 levels are enough to get a good feel for any MMO I've played, and without the pressure of a time limit you can get a realistic idea of how much you'll play before commiting to a monthly sub.

That's guaranteed to pull people in with the tier 1 PvP, which is excellent.

Great idea. Too little too late?

Finally a good idea. I had trouble finding time to play the Age of Conan trial while it lasted after I started so I cursed a bit. But I liked it so much that I bought it anyway. It would be great for players if this idea will be adopted by all the other MMOs.

Might create another account to try this: they've apparently drastically improved the clients performance. Poor performance and unsatisfying/missing RvR were the reasons I quit and returned to WoW.

They need to do something with the end game though (as in introduce an actual end-game :) ). As it is people seem more inclined to roll alts than play at T4 for long.

Thats a pretty good idea. Good to see someone using their brains on how to pull people in. :)
