Yes, you could play the Div 1 beta without purchasing the game. But you still had to purchase the game in order to play the full game. Being in the beta didn't get you a free copy. Then, once the beta concluded, you couldn't play the beta anymore because the servers were offline (probably converted to live servers).
And the trial you're talking about WAS the full game. Which why it allowed you to carry over your progress once, or if, you decided to purchase the full game.
We haven't released many details on the beta, so this info is just based on other Ubi betas I've been involved with:
Beta players are not guaranteed access to the full game on release (they will still need to actually purchase the game). You can keep the beta files on your computer, but I don't think they'll be able to connect to anything once the beta period is over. Free trial versions are not the same as early access phases, they're technically a time-limited version of the full release (as I understand it).
Again, this isn't based on any information I have on the TD2 beta, it's just what I would infer from the way we've done things in the past.
Beta will not load once the testing is over so you won't be able to run it, and the play tab will change to "Buy Now". Just delete it once it's over as it's just wasting space on your HD at that point.Originally Posted by Mournelithe Go to original post
