F2ps should be allowed to choose an option of going free p2p for a week at any time. They'll be able to do anything a p2p can (other than pvp so that it won't interfere with paying dudes though id have no prob with it) but if they won't pay afterwards their account would be locked untill they pay(go p2p).. just like p2p accounts.

my responds to this suggestion:fuck off.

you want P2P lookie see ... easy pay the piper.

Your idea would really mess up those players who never intend to go P2P. They select your one week "free" P2P and they would be locked out of their accounts and would have to start over again... probably in a different game.

Obviously they would be warned of the repercutions... In an in game POP up message... lol

will lead to tons or rage/ragequits of noobs who dont get it and then cant pay.

not to mention the flood of help chat BS and tickets for little ol baggle to deal with.

If they can't read English, they can't play the game either so w/e ..
The message ought to be very clear, and have two "gates" like "Are you very sure?" and then " This is your last chance, this decission is irreversible and after u accept this blabla you will not be able to use your account again without paying real MONEY."
Should be clear enough. If there's a dude that can read and understand English at most decently, and just skips it, that person does not deserve to live. People with an excessive ammount of stupidity don't deserve what this great game has to offer anyhow.
I don't think this is crucial, not at all, but some people might not see the difference between p2p and f2p so they just won't pay. This offers them a chance to know for sure what they would be paying for.

you can put all the warnings you want in. people are stupid/english isnt their first language/think their mommy will pay then she wont/etc.

Hehe.. well then SS is better off with them quitting..And I doubt there will be many that know how to send a ticket .. and with the help chat, meh, not much of a problem, would just be a minor nuisance..

Definitely a no.

The potential satisfaction from an unknown experience is always higher than the potential satisfaction after having experienced it.

48 hours full p2p then ? shouldn't be able to enjoy too much and would make the person curious... or would make the person want to use their t20 ships/skills/items at least for a month.. or at least for more than 1 or so days..

Seeing other p2p players running around in epic ships was what made me pay eventually. Never would have done a free trial.

Whenever I help noobs out in the Nexus I take my AWC+

What I'm saying is that when a f2p would decide to go p2p for 48 hours, he would hurry to get t20 just to try it out (which would be real great for the economy) and they would have t20 ships and gear prepared from before... they would go p2p and see how awesome it is do go through peril space, do much greater DF DGs, etc. and would be desperate to get a sub to continue playing with such "ubers" stuff because it would still be new to them. They would either buy a sub, which is most likely, or pay themselves for at least one month, to continue playing with their hard earned money which they spent on gear etc.
I hope my idea is understood ;p it would make people more curious having tasted p2pness..

Having a low end T20 is not much different from a T18 or T19 ship. The difference is that high end T20 augs make high end T20 ships look like gods compared to things like a Vulture.

Anyhow, I suppose I shall consider this suggestion busted..
