Online Trial?

[Wang My Getsu]

Does anyone else think that making a free one month trial for the online play in Phantasy Star Online 2 would be a good idea.You know just to let the possible online gamer get a glimpse of the amount of fun they could have

[BIG OLAF]

Well, yes. That's always a good idea.

That would actually be much better than jumping in and paying just to try the game yourself.

10 day trial sounds more realistic honestly, but yeah they should offer a trial regardless.

PSU had a trial...but you still had to use your credit card...

I hope they make it so that you just download the game with it's trial, then you need a KEY after the trial ends. Like I said in another thread, the credit card thing just scares away EVERYONE.

Assuming this is PC only.

Why don't they just make the online portion free to play and put in a special store that you can access from anywhere in the game and allows you to buy items that are exclusive to it?

Risk of economy collapsing due to some rich guys buying up all the shit and then the community will be split into people without cash shop items and people with them, and that would suck ass. Basically, it's a bad idea, or at least I think it is (because I hate cash shops).

PSO had a 30 day trial from what I remember, and PSU had theirs too, though you gotta pay regardless and they tack on the extra 30 days lol. I don't see a reason why they wouldn't allow PSO2 the same.

A free trial is good for any P2P online game, imo. It gives players a chance to see whether or not they like the game enough to warrant its subscription fees. I'd go with a free month; 10 days or so just doesn't seem long enough to see most of the game's features.

How about 2 weeks?
