Trail disks.

Trial disks. Some of you may have seen some of these for a certin other MMO and thought WOW! Maybe that's why it has so many players!

Let me put it this way. I think a Trial Disk for MxO would increase the population and SOEs money intake. Making it an overall good idea. I'm not saying it's flawless but lets think about it.

A trial period. Maybe like 15 days. 2 American Dollers  a CD. They make money, and people learn we exist.

Now on that CD perhaps make a lower cap, say... 15. Yes, just before the PvP level on Vector, this taunts... sort of. It also lets them play with whichever trees buff they just went down.

For servers, have every CD tied to a server, maybe printed on the cover... have it say....

The Matrix Online

Vector-Hostile

Or something to that effect. Now, obviously we should at least send out 100,000 of these to populated areas. Citys at first and if that works suburbs.

And as for accounts. The CD should have the account on it. And if the game is bought after that trial period let that account be activated again.

Thought, comments, ideas I didn't write out to well?

Good idea though the problem comes from having to spend the money to make said CD's which SOE seems reluctant to do. I wonder though how MXO would do if they just did a new commerical advertising the upgraded combat system and new owners.

I may sound a bit hypocritical, but umm, I'd rather not let people know that SOE bought the game.  Just a thought.

But seriousely, something does need to be done.  However, I feel sad for the game when new players play.  My friend got the game, ran through the tutorial, and couldn't use the hardline in the subway to Jack Into the Matrix.  He's like "meh it's ok." Then he tried to go to Parralaxis, and for some reason he couldn't get in, nor could these other guys.  Yea,  not exactly a warm welcome in my opinion.

Aight, so we fix up the game, running through it like it was beta and reporting all the bugs and then make trial disks.
