Lephturn, I think it is clear enough. I'm not talking about negating help to the new players. They have TA, H/H and even offline to train as much as they want and to familiarize with the AH concepts.
I'm talking only about disabling some features for these players during the evaluation period, for example, not being able to cause real damage to any plane. This will be more than enough to give them a perfect and clear idea of what is this sim and they will have more than enough data to subscribe or not.
I hope most of the "new" players are "legal" ones that only want to evaluate seriously this product. But, in the other hand, there are players attracted by the 0$ 2 weeks that come here only to harm the comunity and the software itself. Most of these are not new ones, they renew over&over their accounts with different nicks and give us nothing but worries.
As you surely know, most of the games, online and offline have demos available. You can play an scenary, for example, over'n over, and no more. And this is enough to demostrate the game. But none, or almost none gives as demo program the entire version with a time limit. If they do, a lot of people will find a way to crack this and enjoy the full version for free all the time. This is just an economical issue and I'm not worried about it. The problem is that this kind of people, usually, want to go further. You have a lot of examples in games line Quake, UT, etc.
AFAIK, this people have a common point, they dont want to pay a single $ to play anything. And if HTC can force them to pay if they want the full featured game, we'll get rid off them for sure.
