I truly hope this brings more players to the game, and keeps them.

[Malakaar]

yeah that would be nice to see more people on this game, make the game flourish more. I put up the link on my FB so that friends might see it and hopefully join in. The more we spread this around the bigger chance people will join.

[SoulBender]

I would certainly hope they are sending emails to previous users. Sharing it on FB, etc is a good idea.

[Soups]

So glad to see them taking this kind of stuff seriously. It really does bring people back...

Ya i would be happy to see the game grow... With that being said. These servers we are currently on are getting more and more full I notice they rarly drop down to light. For a good chunk of the regular week.day it levels out to standard and during peak hours during the week days it hits very heavy to full and Sunday it almost always seems full. Saturday is kinda weird it just seems heavy a good chunk of the day. So yes we need to get more ppl to join but if that's going to happen we need to get a few more servers active/ more populated but i am sure BW Will start selecting a few servers here soon and start trying to intice people off some of the servers to help populate a few old light servers.

Sounds like the population has really taken a hit. Haven't played in months myself, and have not received any email about this play for free promotion.

WoW also does the same thing. I've received 3 or 4 emails from Blizzard giving me a weeks worth of playtime. Nothing new about this and has little to do with the current population.

You should come back for a bit and try it out. We have been rocking it out on the Rep side. Imp side has grown also. Lots of fun.

I've taken advantage of these with WOW and I just can't do it. Last time I got one, I sent all my gold to a friend that was still playing.

Anyone know how to take advantage of this offer? I subbed from release to June, when being jobless meant I couldn't pay for it anymore. I'd like to see if the group finder fixes the angrily anti-social atmosphere on my server or if I should wait for open transfers. I updated my launcher and game, but it's still requiring me to reup to get in. Thanks.

Well that explains why i was randomly able to log on. I never got an email or anything telling me about the promo.. as much as i want to resub and play i just have to much going on this summer to warrant spending the money.. once september hits tho its over

[Darkmatter]

Would have liked to come back and play for a few days but because my subscription didn't end till after 1.3 came out I am not eligible . I Want to come back and play again but that isn't happening till I have a new job .

[pfckennedy]

My sub ran out 4 days after the cut off so i got screwed

[johnhughthom]

I would have given it a chance, but they don't seem to have sent emails out to former subscribers, as I meet the criteria, but didn't receive any notification of this. Not long enough left to play by the time I got it downloaded to make it worth my while now...
