Normally, we do not so much look at things as overlook them.

Havent tried it yet, but I have amazon prime so its free shipping as well.  I guess the 30 day trial comes with that, figure for 96 cents its a deal.  For those playing now what do you think, give it a try or not?

View all problems as challenges. Look upon negativities that arise as opportunities to learn and to grow. Don't run from them, condemn yourself, or bury your burden in saintly silence. You have a problem? Great. More grist for the mill. Rejoice, dive in, and investigate.

Thirty days for 96 cents, that is a pretty good deal, in my opinion. Course you can get the 7 day free trial first and play that till time runs out then apply the code if you find you like the game. So that is something like 37 days of cheap playtime.

As SXR mentioned pretty good stuff coming even returning to earth. Now is a good time in my opinion to jump in and level a toon up to get ready for the earth stuff.

Hope you enjoy it.

Wow I recently was at gamestop and saw it for around 10 dollars and I thought about trying it. .96 cents is almost too cheap to pass up. Too bad I just got EvE and I am loving it.

They must have made a LOT of those boxes. I mean... ten times more than they sold... at least. I've seen them on clearance at Fry's months ago, and really cheap on eBay. I heard they are showing up at Big Lots! now too. How many subs were they expecting to pull in? They don't even need a free trial because the game is practically free as it is, which is pretty nice.

RG supposedly said around time of release that he expected TR to compete with WOW in terms of population. If that was true then maybe they produced 500,000 boxes for the launch. Really no way to know how many they made unless NCSoft puts that information in its financial report.

$1 is a steal for this game, however you feel if it was released prematurely or doesn't warrant a monthly fee. Grab a few copies for your friends and you're going to have a blast with this game - at least until your free month runs out.

At 3 cents a day the first month is an absolute steal. After that the cost jump may or may not be worth it.

Anyone who wants to go into outer space is not playing with a full deck! (Example: Richard Garriot)

Yeah, a month worth of play in an MMORPG for a dollar? That sounds like a good deal. Even if all else fails you can just add the game to your collection and in 50 years you can tell your grand children about your pile of ancient video games which they will then proceed to make fun of you for it while they go to play on the holodeck or whatever.

But don't play past the first month. One dollar is worth it. But the $15 a month you will pay after that isn't.
