It'd be great if Graal could reliably give players x Free Hours to take a full tour, but we all know how that's gonna go...Moostehkrakish signs up 10 accounts, all named Moostehkrakish1-Moostehkrakish10, he plays through each of them until he's at his last 5 minutes, gets a Trainer, then Moostehkrakish1 drops 99,999,999 gralats in whatever equivalent of level14 you like. Then when he gets banned, Moostehkrakish2 does the same thing...better to let them see the world without touching. Believe me, once you've input your password enough times, "Buy the game and never have to remember your password again!" starts looking pretty damn appealing.

We could further discuss Partial Payment Plans and so forth, but that's the sort of thing that belongs in another thread.

There's systems that make doing that a little harder, such as having to have a new email for each account. Also the account can only make 1 trial account per computer id / ip and such.
