Sony does the same with EQ2. They say it's F2P, but there's very little you can actually do for free. The class/race restrictions are the worst part of that I would say, you don't really get a feel for what the game is like unless you can mess around with all the classes.

God I hope this game is good.

I haven't looked forward to an MMO this much since EQ2

I'm not sure if this may be your play-style, but EVE online has basically what you're looking for. It's got a massive PvE world where you can do basically everything you want, from run a corporation, to missions, to hunting pirates in asteroid belts,to being an industrialist, and then the PvP is just as diverse. With being a pirate yourself, and hunting in low-sec space, the massive 0.0 sec wars which are raging, or even just the occasional group of friends going out looking for some poor soul to explode.

Give the 14 day trial a shot and see how you like it. It's got a very steep learning curve, and it may not be for you, but once you know what you want to do in the game, and how to do it, it's a blast

Only playing the 3 day trial, I can't give you an opinion for a long term aspect (which may be some peoples problem with the game), but I had a great time playing TR for the three day trial.

It's, as you said, not the cookie cutter auto attack game. You have different weapons that do different things, and I found the combat feels more like a single player game than an MMO, which is always a nice change.

I can see the possibility of maybe getting bored further down the road, but from the short time I had with the game I had a wonderful time, and when funds allow, I can probably see myself going back to join the war.

My advice is to try the three day trial from this site, and see for yourself if you enjoy it

The times they use are EST, so maybe the email they sent wasn't able to get to your inbox in time, and it took you longer than 24 hours from 9pm EST on Dec 1st to get to it.

If you're just posting now, it makes me assume that you're more than just one day late, the 24 hours would be Dec. 2nd at 9pm EST,

It's unfortunate

If you could, that would be excellent Lumio,

I played VG for about 2 months in the summer and am going to play it again during the christmas holiday break. I was wondering if it would be worth using my buddy code on myself and playing it for the next 10 (or is it 7 days) and then again in christmas? or just save the buddy code for a later time.... I'm desperate to play again.... I need a fix *twitch*... My DK is calling... I just know it

Ahh, so I was missing something, thank you

I thought the article said there would be 5 creatures. I can only see 2, am I missing something? or have they been forgotten/not posted yet?
