given its problematic launch a lot of people myself included have a negative view of age of conan , still more dont want to buy it because they are unsure how well it ll perform on thier pc . i m currently starting to hear some possative things from people who stayed in the game . my feeling is that conan really needs to offer a free trial now so those in doubt weather its worth playing because of it bugs or because they dont have a beast of a games machine can get to try it . after the initial zerg of people willing to buy the game funcom now need to put thier money where there mouth is and give anyone a chance to see what  a quality (or not ) product they have .

try to get a buddy key

there's no ETA for when a free trial may be offered

I know I am not paying to try this game till it starts getting better reviews.

I've just received an email from funcom stateing that they have now activated the buddy keys that came with the collectord edition. One more thing that was suppose to be in at release and was not, where are all the class action lawyers when you need them. John Edwards are you there.

I dont think Failcom will have free trial soon. It will just cause more bad reviews to appears.

LOL someone knows John Edwards true calling.

Gaute needs to distribute this tender, perfectly prepared steak to more people, so they do need a free trial. Actually, it'd be quite smart of them to make it like the Beta but just keep the level cap at 20. Then everyone would see the shiny, polished Tortage and say 'Wow this game R teh awsum" and then buy it, only to find how bad it is later on. Funcom still gets the money of that one or two months subscription after the trial.

free trial... lmao. they would have to offer a free computer, sexual favors, and/or sheep to get me to try this game, again.. lol (did some beta)

Totally agree. But i seriously dont understand whats on their mind now. They better polish up the game real fast before the xbox version is release, else they will totally tarnish both their reputations in both the pc and console world.

And they can say bye bye to gaming in future.....

Get the install DvD from a friend and a buddy and you play free for 7 days.

Guess Pass Keys werent promised for launch that was something presumed by posters.

And Ascension08 I'll take it your statement is just your own opinion then, did you play past lvl 20? or not at all?

EVE Online, Everquest 2, and many other games had issues at launch.  Even World of Warcraft had their issues. 

My point?

Look at the games now.  Yes, we live in a time of "pay to beta" and the publishers know this, force the programmers to half ass things, and the people buy it and play.  Is this good for a company?  No.  But we do it anyway.

All I'm saying is this game has what it takes to be amazing... what it didn't have, time.

Give it time.

Whats even funnier is two days ago you could find that second link on the first page between 1-3. Doing the same search now gets you page after page of anger for the $2.99 download fiasco. Nothing like  ashotgun to the foot to make your company look good
