Title: 2 Week Trial
Post by: Wegaman on June 22, 2002, 04:51:03 PM
I havent played AH in almost a year, why can't i sign up for a Free 2 week trial period?  The game has bound to have changed since I last played..... not gonna shell out money for something i may not like again...

  :confused:  

  Also i have a new computer on a new IP, how does AH know i already used my free trial 2 years go or so?

Because before these steps people did abuse the two week trial period. Perhaps once a year or maybe every 6 months they could reset this system so that players could re-try Aces High although $15 is not all that much to ask and if you don't like it you will get a certain ammount refunded (or at least you did..don't know if you still do)

All you need is a different email address, and maybe another name. Using my work email address and fathers name now on a 2 weeker. Closed my acct. a month ago, and couldn't handle it hehe. But when this one is out so will I be most likely for a couple months.

To be realistic, we're talking 15 bucks here...

Determine what you time is worth on an hourly basis, estimate the time it's going to take you to "possibly" get another "free" trial and then subtract it out.

I'll chip in 5 bucks ;)

The two week trial is a good way to get people hooked on the game.  It also opens a door for abuse.  There have been more than a few people that have used multiple two week trial accounts to avoid paying the monthly fee.

Give Hitech Creations a call and explain your situation.  They might be willing to help you out provided you didn't do anything silly like insult the game (1 ping sniper ack) or the community (can't stand the idiots) and try to make some kind of super statement with your departure.
