Warhammer Online’s new trial has no time limit

Warhammer Online

In an effort to grow its player count, Mythic has released a new free trial for Warhammer Online — and this one never expires.

While most MMORPGs are offering limited 10- or 14-day trials, Warhammer Online is allowing new and returning players to enjoy their online world indefinitely without paying a dime. Of course, there’s a catch. The trial caps your characters at level 10, so if you’d ever like to advance beyond the low-level quests of the game, you’ll have to become a paid subscriber.

Still, there are plenty of things to do in those early levels, and you can play more than one character — with as many jobs as you’d like, so you can try out the first ten levels of each character class. Mythic is betting you’ll get enough of a feel of what Warhammer Online is all about to sign up and break the cap. They’re also hoping that older players will return to try the game out, and experience some of the recent enhancements they’ve made.

Warhammer Online has also introduced a new streaming client, which allows players to install a somewhat smaller version of the game and have world environments load in as you explore the world. This new client allows quicker access to the game.

Those interested in taking Mythic up on their offer can sign up for the trial online.
