Well I missed the free trial to Plat. Drats. I was wondering if there were plans for another anytime soon?

You can usually get one for 30 days if you can find someone in plat to recommend you. I believe it was 30 days at least.

Never hurts to try! Most plat players are more than happy to sponsor someone for a 30 day free trial.

The best analogy I can give it is Plat is like living in a small-town, where everyone knows everyone. You may not see more than a couple people in a day but when you do, you can bet they will stop and chat with you and likely know as much about you ... as you do. If you don't wave at them, they will figure you woke up on the wrong side of the bed that day. (I live in Texas, if you drive a pick-up and don't wave to folks in other pick-ups, they hate on you for days.)

Prime is the big city with everyone hurrying about their business, and if you wave at them, they look at you like you may be the next axe murderer. However, you will see people daily, and get drug into massive amounts of hubbub all the time. Plat is more quiet, one on one, but that just means you have a bigger role in every major interaction with GMs, invasions, player-run events, etc.

All depends on how you like to look at things as to what you will prefer!

I really like that comparison Audacia! And that's exactly what it's like. Nothing like small town living!

Thank you. Smaller population is actually one of the draws for me. I love this game but sometimes...well sometimes I'm more than a little antisocial. The biggest draw back for me is the price. Trying to actually see if I can budget it in or not. Here's hoping.

I assume the word anti-social really means that you like to be alone in-game sometimes?

If so, then plat is great for being able to pick and choose your level of interaction and to enjoy some solitude. My character wears the title Recluse for a reason, but that doesn't mean he doesn't RP or engage with other characters. Just that being near Crossing and large groups of people makes his skin crawl (and my brain melt).

Otherwise, you should know sociopaths and true anti-social personalities don't last long in Plat unless they are extremely well and carefully roleplayed.

You can use me as a sponsor. Just a few things most people don't realize about Plat that should be understood. Because of the limited population we have only a few clerics that can rez, and they aren't always around, in fact, I have only seen one of them occasionally in the last few months, same goes for paladins, so when you die, give a few minutes to see if any is gonna rescue you, You'll hear though the chat, but most likely you'll have to depart.

Most characters if they are around will teach or listen to a class, but the majority of the time, at least for me, it can be a little dry for those skills.

Only have a few forgers, again not always around, so store bought or fest weapons are the norm. Player crafted items are around, especially tanned items, in fact drtanning.net takes orders.

I love it in Plat, I have not logged into prime for months now and haven't really played in Prime but for brief moments in years.

Ugh, as I lay here being healed by Dokt, the same goes for empaths, again it's all a matter of time when you play and what province you are in, but emapths are not always readily available, so get used to using NPC healers or herbs

Thanks again,
