Is there a Free trial coming soon ?

silexmt · June 17

Say, between now and July 18 or so? I intend to get a subscription for a month and fill my bag, work on my homes etc, but I don't want it to overlap with any free trial that could pop up. And no, I'm not being cheap, I'm being broke and having to make choices in life.

No need for an exact date, just a general hint as to whether I should put my plans on hold for the time being or go for it. Hey, just make me read between the lines, I don't mind.

Unfortunately, afaik they have never released any information in advance about the free trials. They also seem to be doing them less frequently as of last year. For what it's worth, the only one offered last year was in early August.

From August 5 to August 12 to be precise; been piling surveys ever since.

This secrecy policy was not a big problem when it was a three times a year event, and was still manageable when it dropped to twice a year, but now it's once a year, and things are starting to get complicated. Hell, it is even once a year now? Or once every two years, three, every blue moon, once every never?

Look ZOS, If you want to scrap the program entirely I'm okay with this, it's your company and I'm not entitled to anything, but ffs tell us something, stop trolling us with this "you wan't it? can't have it. you wan't it? can't have it. You want it? maybe you'll get it, or maybe you won't" routine you have going on.

Even 3 or 4 day weekend free Plus events would be good.

Could even make it just a "Free Craft Bag" weekend. The Bag is the biggest encouragement to get people to buy Plus, even if only now and then, just to clean up their inventories. If you don't want to offer the whole Plus package in a free event (barring the crowns and free furnishings of course) make it an item event, like a Free Craft Bag event.

Could also have a Free Costume Dyeing event for a weekend.

I think these sorts of things would make great "Surprise" events on weekends. Of course, there will be those that complain there needs to be notice, they were away that weekend, they missed them, etc. etc. but that happens anyway.

Just a thought.

On second thought....I don't want to post my work around in case ZOS decides to target that too. .....sorry.
