Is the Trial the full version this time?

Just curious, is the current DAoC trial the entire game, with all the expansions? I remember their trial last year didn't have catacombs on it.

Thanks.

trial is still just classic+si+toa, but using catas graphics i believe. Doubt it will change until at least the next expansion is out myself.

Man that's weak. thanks for the info though. You would think they would want people to see one of the best parts of the game (Catacombs) during the trial. The game plays very different and slower without it.

I've played DAoC off and on for the past 4 years. I love the game. I was just asking for a friend that wanted to try it out with me is all.

Yeah I just knocked eq2 for restricting game play to there little island. DAOC should do them one up and show everything possible including the TD's which I hear speed up leveling significantly as well as allow for some decent gear to pvp in.

That's what I think they're worried about. With TDs, you can hit level 50 in two weeks of fairly consistant (group) play. They may be genuinely worried that players could use the trial and get bored of the game.

I agree, though. Catacombs should be in the trial version. It'll give players a chance to hit up some of the more populated battlegrounds and get a feel for the combat of the game. They'll be hooked, especially with so many WoW players jumping ship. It's a perfect marketing opportunity.

They advertise 14 days to siege and conquer but doing that without Catacombs is  harder when most people only want to do TDs to lvl. It really does open a whole new part of the game and graphics. It would probably be a good move to include Catacombs soon... it might help get new players into the game. They get kind of an mmo shock coming from quest heavy WoW.
