Guild Wars 2

I’ve been away from the game a while, but I’d like to come back and get a few friends to try it out.

I really don’t understand why there isn’t a constantly running free trial, seems like a great way to introduce new players to the game.

Anyone know when there will be another trial period?

Thanks!

Because then they’d have to introduce restrictions to the free trial, such as limited everyone to the starter zones, disabling WvW access, and limiting chat options.

Think about it from a gold seller perspective. They loooove free trials because they are free accounts for advertising.

I’m sure we will have a free trial soon to coincide with any other major MMO releases + the feature patch in April.

I personally think that they should consistently do it once every month for the weekend, or even one day.

I started the game because of a free trial weekened and i have a few friends who did the same. I think it’s a good way to get people to buy the game. Especially those not sure if the game is for them or not.

Thanks, makes total sense. Ah well, I’ll just have to wait it out then.

They’ve had 3 free trial weekends since the game launched. If you would like to be notified of an upcoming free trial you can register for their newsletter here:

Just asked lately on twitter, they don’t plan any free trial weekend soon :/
