Has NC Soft made TR free to play?

The reason I ask is we are like three months out from the game closing and I think they should give these last three months away for free or did I miss that announcement?

    Goes FTP on Jan 10th.

    I hope to see the servers full!

    95% of all percentages quoted on the internet are made up on the spot 50% of the time.

    What would make the servers full if it's free to play?  There won't be anything new for people to do.  It'll still be the same old stuff with.  I;ve played with the new crafting system and the PvP area, which is nothing good at all in my opinion.  Machka the evil man/woman will still be playing too.

    I am sure there will be an influx of new and former players once the servers go FTP.

    All I want is to see, is the server brimming with players one time - even if that might be short lived

    I doubt they will fill up even when it is free. The psychology of knowing it will close may prevent a lot of people from playing.

    Is return to Earth going to be in by then or did that go away when they canned the game?

    It should be in it by then. Its on the PTS right now. There are also some PvP zones that are supposed to be awesome. One has a mech of some sort.

    Personally the PVP in TR never has excited me. It was flawed from the start and added nothing to gameplay. The return to Earth will probably get me to jump on again come January 10 2009 and see how it went.

    They have added alot of stuff to the PTS for D15, here's a link if you want to check it out. Things usualy spend about 2 weeks on PTS before live but it might take a little longer now that most the devs are gone.

    I can see a problem for me being the logos requirement. I am sure that I will be missing one or more of them. The return to Earth should not require specific logos. Just let people go back and try to beat the bane. Logos could have been a great idea if they had worked differently.

  • Night_HawkeNight_Hawke Member Posts: 41

    The logos that is required is EARTH and you get it during the leadup missions.

    Oh ok. From the way it was worded it seemed like it would be more than one Logos.

    Is there a link for the FREE client download?

    Or will they make us pay for the client for the F2P???

    Is F2P confirmed? I do not see any official news on their site. Link?

  • Night_HawkeNight_Hawke Member Posts: 41

    I have no idea what everyone's obligations for the F2P period is but here is what they said confirming this. Clicky.

  • nirvanetnirvanet Member UncommonPosts: 95

    What is the main interest to play a "free game" for only one month ? ...

    There is no point, maybe only f2p fanatic gamers who love play 2 weeks on each game will like it.

     

    F2P for one month then close ... lol i don't understand.

    Today is Dec 10, 2008, I decided to have a look at my account status for CoH/V and TR and all weren't active so I went to TR and clicked reactivate account to see what happens and I got reactivated without charge until Feb 28, 2009. It's F2P for me right now.

    I can confirm this as well. My TR account was set to expire yesterday but after reading this post by sookster54 I quickly went over to verify, and my status is active until Feb 28th!

    Every account is full active until 28th Feb, after this the servers close and the game ends.

    Went into my local Best Buy store yesterday........

    For those of you who are interested in playing Tabula Rasa for free, Best Buy is still selling the boxed game for $49.99.

    Also, you can buy Medievel 2 at Best But for $39.99; or you can buy Medieval 2 plus the expansion pack at Best Buy for $29.99.

    You can also have a choice of EQ 2's Rise of Kunark, or EQ 2's The Shadow Odessy, either for $39.99.

    Gotta Love It!

    You don't wanna know how many stores are still trying to sell their Hellgate: London boxes for full price either!!

  • ziifnabziifnab Member UncommonPosts: 53

    Is $29.99 for Dungeon Runners at Wal-Mart a good deal?

    lol

    Speaking of this, some local stores here in my town and in Vancouver (Canada), there's still boxes of Jump to Lightspeed expansion pack for SWG for $30 CDN, and it's been a free part of the game since 2005. LOL

    TR has now gone FTP and you can log in and play today. Although the plans to shut down the servers in Feb are still on the table.

  • billiebillie Member UncommonPosts: 400

    fully patched Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa® (9GB server & test server folder), but loging in indicated have run out of game time.

    Checking web site
    https://secure.plaync.com/cgi-bin/accountManagement.pl?language=en
    then
    https://secure.plaync.com/cgi-bin/accountManagement.pl?action=gameAccounts
    leads to Game account details, where the "beta" account status is 'unplayable'
    selecting activate account leads to where they want input of a Serial code.

    It is NOT ftp yet... likely not ftp till middle of Janurary 2009. Leaving the Serial code blank brings up invalid serial code in red.

    Client d/l link
    ftp://ftp.playtr.com/Tabula_Rasa_Downloader.exe

    Upgrade account tab also wants a Serial code input.
