one free game a day won't keep people active enough to play.
here's how. i want to fiddle about and not focus on anything right now. i came across this site, and played a trial game. i enjoyed it, so i signed up. i read through the site more in depth, and even joined a school. then i learned that you can craft things, that's when i thought, "hey, let's try the game out again." i wanted to get items (which i had none of from my trial play) to brew them up into other things. so i set out to play.
only to be redirected to a page that asked for money. no where on the page were the words: sorry, one free game per day. i only found that out coming to these forums.
it's kinda' a shame, i really enjoyed the game even not knowing what i was doing. and once i figured it out and was eager to play a bit more, i was locked out of doing so. a trial is a trial, a hook as it were. i'm hooked and now i can't play. i'd love to send some money your way for sever and development fees, but how do i know this is a game i really want to spend time playing when i can only casually visit it free once a day. if you gave me an hour time limit per day, for example, i'd be more inclined to get further hooked. as it stands now, i don't think i want to relog back in tomorrow just to see how things are going here. who knows, maybe i will over come that urge. maybe i'll forget about it in two days and never return.
