Hey
I was wonder will you guys add feature to account where we can invite real life friends to game so the try out for free maybe 10st lvl and if the like the can update there account to full account?

Why i'm ask is that i have few real life friends what would love to try out the game before the buy for the did have beta so i think it would be nice to let people have trial account.

    It would be a nice feature to have, but only if these invited accounts were restricted from using chats, trade options and in-game mail system until they subbed. Otherwise this would be exploited by botters and gold sellers and we already have enough of them in game.

    Yeah ofc i was think more in way blizzard did with WoW you only lvl to lvl 20 and you could not use your bank, join guild and not talk in general channel. But you could join group and talk to people there ofc it would be restricted i was think more the you could invite your friend so could get feel for game and try it out and if like the can upgrade to full version on there account

    Would be nice, but I doubt they'll do it.

    They don't even let us share the game within our own households, you can't share an account (against TOS), and every account has to have a seperate purchase of the game (can't share the game but subscribe seperately).

    So I doubt they'll let us invite friends to enjoy the game without paying, even for first ten levels (which can be stretched out for weeks).
    People believe what they either want to be true or what they are afraid is true!

    At so early with this game I'm sure it's not happening but later on I guess there might be free weekends or so to attract more players.

    As I think was mentioned you could invite your friend over in weekend and show the game to him. Also even though against the ToS and Zenimax cannot say they support it in any way, you could let your friend create char with your account and test it out some levels... think you can get lvl 10 easily during one day or even one evening game play. After that you can delete the char. Just don't tell Zenimax and I'm sure they don't mind if it results one more buying customer.

    Hey there @DustinJigsaw,

    No news on this front just yet. If an event like this takes place, we'll be sure to update as many places as possible with the information. This includes our official site, probably a forum sticky, and definitely our social media channels :D.

    EDIT: I love it when you're about to post something, and the second you click to comment you notice a silly spelling error. It gives that few seconds of dramatic "NOOOOOOOO" before you have to click edit. Good stuff.
