Ya know, I have to completely agree here, whether you were kiddin' or not. :)

A lot of games out there would have gotten money from me had they allowed Internet-based purchasing/download...even if there wasn't a trial. I bought Anarchy Online this way, I bought EVE Online this way...the only game I actually pre-ordered and had shipped to me was SWG, because hey, I'm a Star Wars geek, I had to have that one. Everquest I got with computer purchases...every other MMO that I've played (just about all of them), I've beta tested and decided I didn't like.

If FF, CoH, etc. all had download purchasing, I likely would have wasted no time in getting them, even without a trial period, just to give em a shot. Guess that's what I get from living in the middle of nowhere..

I'll buy it, if a ton of my friends do and they bug me to play... but usually I won't buy an MMO unless I can try it in some shape or form first, whether by trial, beta, or whatever.

I hated EQ, probably won't like EQ2 but again, if my friends are gonna play it, I'll give it a go. But I have to agree, at this point, I really dislike SOE after playing SWG for a year and beta testing Jump to Lightspeed (quite a joke).
