More arganos for the argano god!

I don't see why you're asking the devs for more players. They are out there and they're playing but the new player experience as per meeting other players isn't really as good as it could be. Trial limitations need removing but that's all the devs can do.

Invite more people to play. Feed them carrots to keep them here and teach them the game little by little.

Correct as usual!

If trial accounts had no limitations, then Perp would be free to play for 15 days. The EP system certainly limits the advancement that a 'real' customer could make in that time, but it opens up the system for abuse since it's a player driven economy.

The question then is what do you allow, or not. Threads have basically been started requesting that both limitations are stopping new players from joining. And they are probably all correct to a degree. Let them access the market because its a huge part of the game, they need to join corps to get invested.

Then there's the 'allow them access but limit them', but that's what they have done already, allowed them access to the game but limited what they can do. So allowing them access to the market or corps, but limiting what they can do, won't be enough, which leads directly to the 15 day F2P again.

Also we are working blind. There's no data at all about how many trial accounts are opened but never sub. More important, is how many trial accounts are opened, played for 10hrs or more, then don't sub. AC has that data and I'm sure they are pouring over it looking for correlations.

Really, the trial accounts are secondary. The real statistic is how many people sub for 30 days and don't renew. Those are the players that we need to keep, they've decided they like the genere, made the commitment, then found the game lacking in some way.

Gating with the trial limitations is actually a good thing. Active vibrant PVP will keep players subbed, but to get that you need a min. player base. To grow that player base, you need players to stick around, which means providing alternate content for them until the min. player base is reached. Trial accounts aren't going to make 'vibrant' PVP in 15 days of EP, players that sub and experience the game will.

How many applications have trail versions that for example won't allow you to save the data or work with only 5 files at the same time? Quite a bit. They prolly make some money.

How many of you registered and payed for WinZip?

This would be so exploitable it would be funny.

Someone in NeX brought this up. They need to allow trial accounts the ability to join player corps. This way new players can get more help at a more personal level etc..

I get 5% level of extra yield epriton mining with this chin, back to your cage boy.

You sir bring up a valid point..
