the problem is not that people will play the game more then the trial or not... that their problem.... its just that to pay with credit card (even 1&#8364 ;) to "TRY" a game is discriminating... cause i dont have f****** credit card, so i cant test it... and just for this reason i will not play it...
when you don't have a credit card you can't even pay for the subscription, so why should they let you test it?

Shortsightedness like this is almost inexcusable with so many different countries and their respective customer base's differing financial institutions. A purchased game card is a neccessary thing in todays market. Also:
it's a good way of ensuring that the people who try it are actually gonna pay, instead of just being freeloaders who want to play a free game(see RO)

I sympathize with the posters who have to PAY just for data transfer just to find out they cannot even play the trial. Maybe it is a good thing the whole "It ain't Free" Trial is doing a favor to them anyway.
they are providing the bandwidth, the software and the account, not their fault people have ****ty isps, also i'm pretty sure he'd have the possibility to upgrade to a flatrate, oh and btw, i know at least 4 belgish people personally who have lines that are 3-4x as fast as mine and don't even pay half of what i pay <_<

also, nevrax does not see one penny of what people spend for the trial
