new account and no access to arenas
« on: June 26, 2000, 09:34:00 AM »
Help!
I dunno if this is the right forum, but the trouble is this:
I've just created an account, but when attempting to join the arena, a message says that a subscription is required and my freetime has elapsed.
What can i do to enter the arena using my freetime period?

Hi!

Maybe u r in a intranet and your connections are masqueaded or something? I could imagein that when someone else being masqueraded have used his free trial the host could "think" u are the user, because its the same source-ip.

Well, could be right?

Enrico,

You have already used your freetime period when you created and logged into an account on January 24, 2000.

One free trial period per customer.

Regards,

Yankee

HTC, you might want to consider doing like iEN and asking for a credit card number beforehand, and automatically subscribing the user after two weeks unless he fills some form found on your web site.

That would stop freeloaders-wannabe. (Yeah, that would probably scare off some potential customers too.)

Hi!

This creditcardnumber-enlistment-whatever-you-do would surely scare off customers. I for instance come from germany and up to now i didnt have a creditcard. So i wouldnt even have tried the free-trial.
You should consider that not in every country the use of creditcards is as extended as in the USA. And since there is only on AH-service you relly should consider that many customers come from different countries.

So HTC: PLEASE do not something like that. The way it is is relly fine - especially considering that it works. If it didnt this topic wouldnt exist, right?
