certainly some can hold their own, but any that stumbled into a speed freestyle game would usually not even know what happened.

If anything, they should get just enough to give them a taste of speed games, to make them cough up the $25.

freestyle casual is just as open to the stuff like that, what with people playing rt untill it suites them to leave, double turning, joining last to give them an advantage,... freestyle speed is not worse than that, and the freemiums would soon get used to it, like all premiums do

Speed Games: 1 Per Month

Post by Bruceswar »

Concise description:
  • 1 Speed Game a Month

Specifics:
  • Allow Freeemiums to play 1 speed game a month

This will improve the following aspects of the site:
  • They are addicting which will make more people want to buy.
  • It will give Freemiums a chance to try it out.
  • As shown with the Halloween and St. Patricks Day runs, many people bought premium because of it.
  • More business is good for everybody. :)

Seems easy to implement, and I agree with you that this would probably get more folks interested in premium without increasing server load much at all.

I think they shouldnt be allowed to play any speed games unless its an event. I agree with most of the other reasons so no need reposting them. But i think having more events would make things more fun and interesting

If you give Freemiums speed games, that is one less reason to buy premium which might lose the site hundreds of new premium members

One speed game per month is NOT going to dissuade ANYONE from buying premium. It might well CONVINCE them to do so, however.
