So this is for new players wanting to evaluate the game before starting the subscription.



   When a new player have installed the game, at the login
screen, there would be a button, that would activate the Bluepill
Evaluation Mode. Then, the game would patch, and you get to choose
servers. Now the game would log you in with a randomly generated
bluepill. You would not be able to use any abilities, you would only be
able to jump a basic jump, you would not be able to use Hardlines and
your movements would be limited to Richland. You could not be PvP
flagged or otherwise attacked. You could use the chat to ask other
players for advice, and to introduce you to the game (The bluepill
becomes aware of the matrix).



   Now you would have a 30min timer, and when the times up,
Niobe r someonhe would contact you and tell you to meet her (to be
awakened). Then the game would close, and take you to the subscription
page. Here you could close it and uninstall if you don't want to play
it. But if you do, go ahead and register.



   Then, when you log back into the game, it would start for
you the same way (make ur char, choose red or blue pill and so on).



   Do you think this will make the new players aware of the
games small flaws, and not subscribe? I think not. Seeing PvP at Mara C
with all the cool moves and hyperjumping, will make them almost
immedialetly exit the game and go for a subscription.
