WAR's trial key offer extended to non-subscribers

You should mention in your article that the trial is only available to Australia, Japan, New Zealand, Singapore, and U.S. residents. Anyone else is S.O.L.

I'm a sucker for those free trials but my characters only got to level 20 or so in WAR. Going back for 10 days will no doubt only bring back the feelings of frustration I had the first time around.

Typical I bought the game BEFORE the trial come out lmao. Not to worry, I'm liking the game so far.

FilePlanet is the worst download service on the planet good luck try to get the client from there... why did Mythic not go with stream or somethinG?!

Maybe EA owns/has good relations with Fileplanet.

Would certainly seem that way since they both run very similar business practices aimed to screw over both subscribers and non subscribers of their service.

At the moment the EXIT of War players is....
catastrophic.

Don't agree? ...

look at: http://www.xfire.com/games/who/Warhammer_Online_Age_of_Reckoning/

In January the game already lost 25% as from the December stats (supposed 300K then coming from 800K).

And now February shows another 20% loss compared to 3 weeks ago.

Of course the roughly 3000 Xfire players is way offf the high number of 15.000 Xfire players in October 2008. But it just shows the game keeps on losing subs.

Anyone surprised really?

Now I think the free trial will not do it any good either. Because 10 days is way too long for a trial period for WAR.

Perhaps the Slayar patch could help a bit to lure in some.

But I see this baby at the same scale as AoC by summer 2009 (100-120K subs max).

Meaning BOTH "Wow killers" will have to settle for a 0.5 to 1% market share.

Grtz.

Waiting for KOTOR I suppose.....

I gave the trial a go. Less than an hour later, I stared with utter boredom at my screen. It's a bit sad, but I'm finding the F2P Beta of Runes of Magic to be far more compelling than WAR.

Here's a question I'd like to ask WAR people, would PvE players enjoy WAR? Or should I not even bother and wait for a good new PvE game?

Love your logic there Bossy.

Let's say ten percent of those Xfire users represent WAR players. Despite the "massive" number of people leaving the game, all that equates to is what, a hundred people? Its an insignificant statistic.

I play the game - if anything the number of people playing is growing.
