I'm confused. Are you offering a 24 hour trial within a week long beta? Or offering a week trial within the beta that will ask if you think you might want to play after 24 hours? Or....???

24 hours playtime or for 24 hours total? Cause if it is 24 hours total and I register now I could only play 2 hours total today and tomorrow maybe 3 but then my gametime is over.....Or do they mean 24 hours across the whole week? And where can i register and download the client and lastly do you mean 2 hours EU time or...?

NVM the graphics are a bit improved and don't look like old Egyptian anymore. Now they're the Middle ages.....www.linuxgames.com/archives/11207

this very moment :

Time at Eastern Standard Time (UTC-05:00)

I should read my post before posting? Or you should read yours? Seriously...

You said..."You can get a taste of life in our Tale by exploring the site or downloading the game client for free. After you've played 24 hours, we'll ask if you'd like to subscribe for 13.95 per month."

Then you say after that "The beta will last for one week."

How is that in any way clear? Either you can play for 24 hours and then pay to play after that...

or you can play the beta for one week, then 24 hours after that you will be asked to pay..

or you can play for 24 hours, agree to pay, then be allowed access to the beta..

I read what I posted before I hit send. I asked for clarification.

You assumed the beta being free.

That post was ANYTHING but clear. But whatever..so what she meant to say is

"There will be a one week beta. After that, you can play for 24 hours. When that 24 hours is up, we will ask you if you want to pay the subscription to continue playing."

so..the beta is not free..it's only a 24 hour trial?

no:P the beta is right now for 1 week during this beta week you can download and play free for 24 hours

So why even mention the beta?

I'm not trying to be mean, rude, trollish or anything...that announcement is genuinely garbled.

So, the beta has nothing to do with the trial? Why mention it...

When I go to the website it's still tale in the desert 3?  Do I just download the client, on that site?  It's 9.45am here, where does the game up up 2.pm?

what is this game about? is it like wurm?  is it persistant? or once the world is built do they reset the servers?

The beta is free, after the 1 week beta, there is a 24 hours of PLAYED
trial time, then you must subscribe.

thanks for clearing that up!

Well what's the game like?

do we just download the old client or at 2pm will a different client be available?

OP where do we get the client the download at the site is 3. Please help I really want to try this mmo.

You can download the ATITD client at www.atitd.com.

At the top is a link that says download.

Once you download and install the client, launch it. There will be a prompt that asks if you want to join the A Tale in the Desert III or A Tale in the Desert IV (beta) server. Just choose the beta server and connect. Once you get into the login screen, you will have to create a character. Create anything y ou want, then login with that information.

Poof, you'll be in Egypt :)

Hope this helps.
