FREE TRIAL HAS BEGUN!!!

[paulrgod]

Erm no not really, cos your FREE to cancel at any time in those 14 days, at which point if you decide to quit on the 14th day, youve had 14 days free.....is it just me.....but i think that counts as being free......

your still getting the days from your 30 days free trial, but you get to test the game before shelling out money for the game....

Or would you prefer to shell out for the game first before even seeing what its like??????

Makes sense to me.

FYI - The Free Trial masterthread (http://www.ryzom.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5725) has been updated with more information, covering a row of questions asked in this and other related threads.

Further, here's an explanation I've posted earlier tonight about having to enter your billing info for those accounts:

We actually have a row of good reasons to ask for your billing information during the free trial registration process. I will use the opportunity and explain why entering your billing information is necessary.

1) It is a precautionary measure. Without verified billing information, people could and would just go ahead and enter false contact information. It would be tough for us to track their real identity, in case they abused any of our services, in the worst case scenario for illegal activities. People tend to misbehave more in places where they remain anonymous and cannot be identified. We don't want to go down that road.

2) To be able to actually subscribe to the Game after your free trial period ends, you either need one of the supported Credit Cards, or one of the alternative listed payment methods. People do not always read up on those kind of things - most people actually. By verifying right away that you would actually be able to subscribe for the game later, we will save some folks out there and ourselves some time and trouble.

3) While you can cancel the free trial at any time you want, you can automatically convert it to a normal subscription at the end of the trial period. We wanted this process to be as comfortable as possible for our users (understandably!), so you won't have to bother with going through all the registration and verification of your billing information later, so you can continue to play without any interruptions when your trial period ends.

4) The technical side of things: Free trial accounts work in the same way as normal accounts, because we wanted trial users to have full access to our real servers, not just a restricted demo server. Therefore it would require significant changes to our database and other areas if we wanted accounts to be able to connect to the game without being flagged as verified users.

I hope this clears things up !
