OK this might have been suggested already but i dont have time to do a search so sorry, but heres my idea

neocron is given away for free (the full game download) with 10 day trial right.

So why dont you get a magazine to publish it on cover discs/DVD

I read PCZone and i remember the first ever DVD edition gave away (on the DVD only) a full copy of anarchy online with a trial

Also before has been given away full copys of Everquest with a 2 week trial.

The point im making is, if all you have to do is install, sign up, play, rather than download for a few hours your more likely to give things a go. I was not a fan of mmorpg's until i played neocron but before i played NC i still tried out EQ/AO because since they were free, you might aswell do it.

Imaine how many people are subscribed to these kinds of mags, the amount of people that will try NC.

Just an idea and probably suggested already but hey thought id post my thoughts

(this was in respone to LOKI's "the death of neocron" thread

beta 4 was on PC mags...

personally i would prefer sending a FULL copy and an account with 4 capped chars to a few well known reviewers. give them a covernote with info. give them names of contacts ingame (ill go on it...)

let them try PvP... let them join an OP war... let them solo a grim for the first time...

then see how they review it in the mags :p
