Return to Brittania

So, it is great that people can log in for the next three weeks. Wouldn't it make sense to give people access to SA though? I mean, wouldn't they be more likely to stay and upgrade if they had access to all the new stuff?

I can see developmental issues with this. So someone logs in and decides to make a gargoyle. What happens after the promotion ends and they decide not to upgrade? Does it change back into a human? Many of the returning players I was able to lure back with this promotion found all the Mondain's Legacy content to be brand new, so they were having fun as it is. Mind you, I know what you're saying, but just from an implementation standpoint, I could see difficulties.

I can see me and a bunch of other folks that just shelled out our hard earned cash to play the expansion descending on N Va with torches and pitchforks if everyone suddenly gets to play for free.

That's what I see, but then, hey, that's just me.

I'm not so sure - they come back, play about, and know there's a whole lot MORE that they can't do right now...

If they like the 'core' game, they'll likely stay - and buy the expansion. If they don't really like the 'core' game much, I reckon there's not much added in SA that would keep them playing of itself.
