Also, once you get set up with your trial, stop by the Plat boards to introduce yourself!

Welcome to all of the new people!

So, how does this work? If for example I have characters in plat from 8-1 years ago, can I access them through the trial?

Once you get the trial set up, you could probably e-mail Billing to get your previous characters activated.

If we tried plat through the trial before (say years ago), can we do it again?

Yes, you can! I believe if you haven't played Plat in 6 months, you can sign up for a trial again.

Unfortunately, to try Platinum, you must have a normal (non-trial) account. If you are utilizing an account that is in its trial period, you will not be able to sign up for Platinum trials unless you bring your account to a full non-trial status. You can do that by contacting the Billing department. Please browse to https://www.play.net/gs4/cservice/cs_questions.asp?type=billing for details on how to do so.

We hope to see you in GemStone Platinum soon!

I used to play Platinum 9 years ago and then went on hiatus. I came back in back and only reactivated my premium account. I'd like to have a trial in plat but the sign up page is asking for a referral. What do I need to do? Thanks in advance.

<<Come play with us for the entire two months at our expense and stay if you like it! We look forward to seeing all of you! - ~Naionna, Platinum Guru>>

To me this indicates there will be no cost to play Platinum for 2 months. Was that in fact a lie and it costs $14.95 per month for your free trial of Platinum? Why should I pay for a prime account when I will be playing Platinum for 2 months? I want to try Platinum, not pay for prime.

This wasn't an issue in the past as I have played Platinum on a trial account. I did not enjoy playing with 8 to 10 people so I did not stay, but I would like to try again and see if the population numbers have improved so it's not such an isolated game.

The cost of Platinum itself is free. But in order to get to a Platinum subscription level you must already have a premium subscription. The statement is not a lie as we are in fact not charging you for the cost of the Platinum upgrade. You are in fact accessing Platinum for free, but not Premium. I understand that you don't want to pay for premium to access Platinum but there is no way to do that. You must already be a premium member to have access to Platinum.

Naionna, I believe this statement might be inaccurate. When I signed up for my platinum trial only a standard account was required, not a premium. Is this no longer the case? There is a large difference for returning players between pay 14.95 a month and try platinum for "free" and pay 39.95 (or whatever it is) a month and try platinum for "free" so to speak. Then again since platinum comes with premium I guess all the smart people who don't want to play platinum at all but have a standard account could enjoy two months of premium free if they wanted to game the system...

I'm going to assume you misspoke and that a Premium account ($39.95) is not required to access the "free" Platinum trial.


From my understanding each subscription, PRIME/PREMIUM/PLATINUM is a separate toggle on an account.

A trial account can have a Platinum subscription added to it, as I used the "free" Platinum trial last year without an issue. There was no sign-up link like there is this year, and I believe it was manually set up by a GM.



It makes me question your practices if you announce that you're offering a free trial to something, but in fact you have to pay $39.95 as you stated, or $14.95. That's certainly not free.

This is not true from my experience.

I was able to access Platinum with a trial account but you do not get a free Premium upgrade in Prime.

They can be separated.

My apologies, I meant Prime, not Premium. I definitely mispoke and thank you for seeing it and correcting me. I'm sorry if there are any ill feelings behind my announcement of the trials being free, but I consider the upgrade not costing you anything to be a freebie. It was not an intentional mis-statement and I will be happy to rephrase/edit the initial announcement, though I feel its thoroughly been addressed here as to what was meant by the statement. I'm sorry, but the requirements at this time are that you have a paid prime subscription in order to enjoy the trial Platinum subscription.
