AIM me at Solstitia, and I'll get your info and send it in to the GM's, and they'll get you started! Just need a Plat players recommendation and no warnings on your account. See ya soon, I hope!

Actually, the no warnings requirement is false.

Wonder where I got that? Thanks for the clarification, Ceo! We got several people to join or think about joining after VegasCon... A couple joined without the trial because I didn't think I could get them a free trial when they had warnings on their account <ducks>.

That was just your sneaky way of luring them into a more permanent "trial" period, wasn't it?

Depending on how backed up things are, it can take a little while to be processed by The Powers That Be. My best advice is to just keep an eye out for being able to sign into Platinum.

Shhhhh!!!!!!! It's working, be quiet and don't jinx it!!!!

Probably caused from too many nights staying up being chased by plucked chickens, and chasing cross-eyed chickens.

>Prolly confusing your numerous attempts at mentorship and/or GMishness.

No no, I just want to take over Kalika's guild, and allow chickens to overtake the forest is all. I have no desire to be a GM, and I am the head chicken mentor ... what could be more fullfilling?!

If you once tried plat ages ago but did not get your free trial then and want to give it a second look, are you able to get a free trial now?

Hmm good question. I don't think there would be a problem with it but Ceo will have to answer. I remember it took me a while to get my trial in 2004, then I got it and ended up using only the last 3 days of it hahaha. Though, I never left so... it worked out in the end!

Does plat still offer a trial period? If so.. might I inquire on the length.

And then of course to top it off, how would I begin the process?

Thanks in advance

I believe it's 1 month, but that's more than enough time to either love it or leave it. And I further believe someone has to refer you?

IIRC, the process is that you ask a current Plat player to sponsor you. That player sends an email with your account name to Ceosanna. If you haven't played Plat before, she should be able to arrange for a free, one month trial. However, it's been a while since I've be involved in the process, so it might have changed.

Plat Trial Forum Bug - Being Fixed on 06/12/2007 06:01 PM CDT

Currently, our website will not allow Trial users to access the Plat Forums (and probably can't get to the TF forums, either). Currently, not only can you not post to them, but you can't even SEE them.

We're in the process of getting that fixed.

And anyone who wants may use me as a referral. It's not necessary to have a referral to get the free trial, though.

Also, anyone who has any questions about Plat, I'll be happy to field them at BRFUQUOIS (AIM). I won't be there today, though, as I'm working all day.

Click on the big headline on the front page that says "Free Platinum" and then click on one of the many things that says "Click here to sign up for the free trial".

No, not fail. Just not as successful.

The link Solomon posted was a special link and is different from the regular upgrade link on the Platinum page.

It hasn't been mentioned recently so I'll post about it -

The drplat site is a good reference for folks thinking about the free trial, as well as people already on it. http://www.drplat.com If anything it can give you some idea about our history, especially the Tempest event, the Zoluren Orphanage Fundraiser we came up with, the Snow/Cialen events of late, and many other little tidbits of things going on. Finally, it gives folks a way to post themselves to a Who's Who with some background information to help people connect.

I'll also echo what BRFUQUOIS said, and if anyone has questions please send me an IM at Juason1. Hope to see you all soon!

Anyone have a sense of when the actual trial offer will be rescinded? Long story short I can't actually play (any instance) for another 2 weeks or so...figured I'd try to max my time out by waiting it out instead of registering now, but don't want to miss my chance. Thanks.

I get the sense it will be an open trial till a set date, then ever trial account will be closed at one go.

Rather than a every person gets a 90 day timer on them.

As for your other question, I really just assume it'll be open till close to the end of the summer.

Strike that.

Reverse it.

Everyone gets their own 90 day timer.

As to the original poster, you'll be fine. I plan on leaving the trial offer active at least til SimuCon.

Would you perhaps consider leaving it open until slightly after SimuCon? There might be some people convinced to try it while there.

A plat player will still be able to sponsor you for a free 30-day trial after this summer is over.

Hi! I'm pretty new, well, I'm really new to DragonRealms entirely, but the Platinum membership interests me. I'm not practiced in Roleplaying, but I want to learn.

You dont need a referral to gain access to the free trial. However, feel free to use this account as a referral if you wish. Plat is a great place to start learning the ropes of DR, as the community is fairly close and many people are willing to help out new players and characters.
