Trial

I believe there will be some new videos posted soon. They just had a contest.

We talked about this game just today.. then I checked the pricing.. 40+15e month for a game what doesn't have a open beta or trial.. No way, the screenshots ain't that hot so the only selling point for us MMO:ers is the content.. and paying for promises etc what we have no idea what they actually mean or how they are executed.. ain't a option. Too much crap in past few years in MMO markets in broken promises.. that pre-order is out of the question without an trial/OB.

Xsyon probably doesn't want too many people to participate in "beta" because it's after all "beta". The problem with getting a large community to try "beta" is that the people would only come to judge rather than contribute. Since most people would believe the actual game will be exactly like "beta", they wont even recommend the game or even buy it themselves. Not to offend you, but you seem like someone that wants to judge rather than be a beta tester, especially since you're asking for a trial in a game that didn't even come out yet. Xsyon is playing smart by making us risk our money over their popularity. Do I like it? Not really. Is it a good idea? Pretty much.

You will never know how this game is like unless you pay for it. Otherwise, wait for a trial after the game comes out.

Thats what open beta has become for so many MMOs now, A free look at the game for a few weeks. But whats going on here is a very small company trying to make a game and wants real testing. Jordi has said that he is not looking to try and take on the WOW type games. He is going for the small start and grow from there. He has also said that he was not going to have some production company use a lot of god like gaming tools to make a video that will show the game in a way that you would never see it as you play. He likes the idea that the players make the videos, So you will see the game the way you would ingame.

I understand the burn so many has had in the past with other MMOs, But I don't think you will see any open beta or free trail any time soon. Xsyon is a paid beta, And I don't think that will change.

The trial isn't here because the game isn't in a state that people would likely want to play it in.

If there was a trial, people would look at the game, boot it up and shut it down in 30 minutes due to boredom. Then they would tell all of their friends that it's boring, even though it's not remotely finish.

It's a sad truth, but it's happened lots of times.

Yes I agree. Also I dont want to see a trial unless those people are limited in the areas they can go. Because I can see people using trial accounts for exploiting and greifing.
