Free Trial - No credit card needed...
« on: August 13, 2008, 02:51:57 PM »
Am I mistaken in thinking that when I read this and think I don't need a credit card to play?

"We are so confident in our product and service, we do not ask for any credit or debit card to get you going."

If this is the case should I be then asked for my credit card details to access the training section of this game??

Is this a bit screwy or am I imagining things?

The free two week trial gives you complete access to the game, both online and offline.  After your two week trial is up, you will be prompted to enter your credit card information if you wish to continue to play.

Be warned, not many can find the will power to stop playing after the trial account.  Welcome to your new addiction.

I still don't understand why I have to give my credit card details at this point, to use the training, so I can actually play the game, even if it is free for two weeks...

Your over thinking it, really.

I've seen games that make you give credit card info even for the free trial. So it's just pointing out that you won't have to give any CC info.

Ummmm, let's consider the possibility that HTC did ask him for his cc info before the end of his 2 week trial, specifically when he tried to access some kind of training service. 

I never had to give any cc info until my 2 week trial was over.

I might be mistaken but you may be restricted from the TA so that the trainers aren't overwhelmed with two-weekers that have no intention of sticking around.  Other than the TA you should have access to every other arena.

Again I could be wrong.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

It sounds to me like he was marked by the system as having already had his two weeks free.
If that's the case, perhaps someone in the house already played/plays it, or he downloaded it
some time ago and forgot/just never got around to playing it...I dunno.

I do know that if you didn't get your free two weeks, a quick phone call to HTC will do the trick :aok
They are pretty good folks over there and I'm sure they will be able to help.

You are ;)
You have access to all arenas as a 2weeker. And it wouldn't even make much sense to keep some exploring the game away from the place where is questions could be answered.

BTW the "Training" feature on clipboard before you are entering any online or offline play isn't implemented yet.

I have had to enter my credit card details.

I cannot access the training section.

I can't get the damn plane to do anything except shoot and for the engine to fire up and shut down.
