Two week evaluation for previous subscribers started today.  Most of my friends received emails for it this morning.

In related news, the new trials are gone for the time being:

I'll be interested to here how the Vets like the game now.

Prax

If I wasn't on holiday tomorrow then on tour with my band after that, I'd give it a go...

But to be honest, I can't imagine enjoying it any more than before. Tortage was brilliant but the game was just bland after that.

Great, count me in!

No email for me yet, but definitely keeping my eyes peeled.

Sadly they've terminated trial accounts in stead of this.

Although they will enable it at some time in the future.

Please report your findings as returning players.

Well this should be interesting. last January when I resubbed I grew bored in less than 2 weeks so this should give me plenty of time. Installing from Cds and patching as of now, lets see how long it takes just to get into the game.

Patching now, 891MB.

They also offer 20% off on all subs.

You have to activate your re-evaluation.

Click that, and on the top left you should see it.

The game offers 20% off  on recurring subscriptions and reactivations after the free 2 weeks. They are also offering your choice of 3 in-game items including a 20 slot bag, a Totem of Origins, and a ring which increases DPS.

Apparently according to the e-mail.  All vets will recieve a free level 50 as well.

No joke.

"Did you know that you can log in today, create a new character with the class of your choice and see that character instantly turned into a level 50? You can! This onetime offer, per account, allows you to start out a new character without going through the low levels - perfect for trying out a new class! The level 50 character is activated through character creation."

I havn't got an email yet, but I will take advantage of this. The level 50 thing is really suprising. I guess I get to try out LoTRo and AoC for free :).

Upon further reading, all you need is a level 50 to get a free one.

Awesome news. The level 50 option has been a dream. The content is rich and full of stuff to do including having instant horse access, crafting and a small curve to end game.

WOOT

Wife is reactivating and son just joined today...

You also get a free character move, which I intend on using. Anyone know which pvp and pve servers are the most active?

Checked my account and had the option to re-activate.

Re-activated, but my account still shows as Frozen, even though the promotional items were added, etc.. (I chose a 1 month sub following re-activation through the vet promotion.

Is this consistent with the experiences others have had? or should be account be showing as playable, instead of frozen, after reactivating? can any confirm?

Moved all my characters to Cimmera, highly recommend it for PVP. Set is the server of choice for PVE.

Hope that helps.

I can say that Wiccana is one of the best PvE.  Not sure about PvP though.

darn, at work so I can't check my email at home...but definatly going to take advantage of this...and 20% off for resubbing? sweet thats $12 a month unless my math is wrong....have a 60 day time card that I haven't used yet and was going to resub with that, but this way i'll be able to tell if its worth coming back for. I enjoyed AoC during my time in(beta - 8 months after launch) but the folks I was playing with went back to WoW or War, so it got lonely in there and so I went to War also. But if the games improved, then they may get this vet back for the long haul.

definiately gonna do

edit 1 - feels weird looking at my old char lol

I was about to sub as well lol, I guess they saved me a few dollars in case I don't chose to stick around. Already logged in and joined a couple pvp matches, I actually had a blast (surprisingly). I'm definitely liking the new stats on equipment.

Patching now, their patcher is still rubbish. Been waiting for this for a while.
