Guild Wars 2

I have a few WoW friends that said they would be interested in trying GW2 but they all ask me if there is a free trial period where they can try the game and see if it’s something they would be into before going out and buying it. I’m sure it’s been suggested before but why not have a limited free trial available anytime rather than once every 6mo or so?

Does WoW do that? Does any game? If this is common I could see your request. If its not then there are probably technical or economic reasons not to.

They do not have one at the moment, but they have had two weekends where people could try it.

Will probably come another weekend some time in the future.

yes they do, quite a few MMO’s actually. WoW it used to be a certain number of days and now it’s a free trial to level 20 with some restrictions. I’ve been trying to get some people to give GW2 a try it would just be easier to do with a trial period. Guess i’ll have to watch for another free weekend

Whenever they do a free trial people just abuse it to make accounts on the servers they’re wvwing against… >.<
