City of Villains free trials available now in Sweden, Norway and the UK!

Under the ever-watchful eye of Lord Recluse, the Arachnos Propaganda Section has continued its recruitment drive across Europe by securing deals with three of the finest PC gaming magazines from Sweden, Norway and the UK. Gamers from these countries who feel the call of the dark side should read on to find out how to secure an exclusive 14-day free trial of City of Villains…

UK - PC Gamer

imageBritish gamers can avail themselves of a 14-day free trial of City of Villains by picking up the May issue of PC Gamer magazine (No. 161), which is available now from all good newsagents across the UK.

The full game client is included on the cover-mounted DVD, a 14-day free trial code is printed inside the DVD case, and there are instructions for installing the game and creating a trial account in the cover disc section of the magazine itself.

Sweden - PC Gamer

imagePotential villains from Sweden can give City of Villains a try with their very own version of PC Gamer. The April issue of PC Gamer Sweden (No. 112) is out now, and also includes a 14-day free trial offer.

The cover-mounted DVD contains the Updater files that will allow you to download the full game client, and you can get a 14-day free trial code from the magazine’s website at http://www.pcgamer.se/ - full instructions are included in the magazine.

Once again, a complete step-by-step guide to creating an account and downloading the client can be found on our Free Trial page.

don’t forget poor little Belgium :p

0Posted by bungle on 27 Apr at 01:46

Is there any other way of obtaining a free trial rather than buying a magazine, it kinda ruins the point of a FREE trial if u have to buy something =/

0Posted by Fenriz on 27 Apr at 17:44

Please don’t fotget Luxemburg !! Everybody always forgets us in such things.. :(

0Posted by Wannabe on 28 Apr at 07:54

AARRRGHHHH what is PC gamer doing in Denmark? We want this game now!!!!

0Posted by Dave on 28 Apr at 17:58

How the heck is this free when we have to pay for a £5.00 magazine?!

0Posted by a on 28 Apr at 18:24

Not £5, £6.50

PC Gamer is a fucking rip off… Even if it was £5 it would be a waste of money.

go to mmorpg and register a free account, click the link on the main page ( if its not there, refresh til it is) and get your free code that way smile

Erm.. well the money is for the magazine guys, and guess what, you get to keep that! Funny how capitalism works isn’t it......

2Posted by Crater on 02 May at 12:02

</strong>gotforce</strong>: Please bear in mind that the MMORPG offer is for the US version of the game, not the European one.

0Posted by Thanos on 03 May at 16:32

/Clap nice one, i guess Greece gets the boot again. Why the heck they dont sent a free trial code to every PlayNC account is beyond me…

0Posted by Mewhywhy on 05 May at 18:26

Hey, How about The Netherlands? we wanne play to XD!!!!

0Posted by Flainz on 06 May at 17:38

I really think you should make a deal with the danish PC Gamer.. You wouldn’t regret it smile

0Posted by gnollie on 08 May at 14:40

Hey, i wanna test this game and i live in Finland, is it possible that there will be a Finnish trial version of this GREAT game? If i could try this game, i could even start pay to play this game if it is good. Well, thank you anyway!

0Posted by Yzithateg on 18 May at 07:44

You get a code with PC-Gamer so I don´t think that is useable more than once so I don´t think it has a loophole like the US-cersion. I do agree with you poor sods… one want to try a MMORPG free before buying it. What would be worse than by it and then don´t like it?

0Posted by Arthius on 23 Jul at 19:05

I dont understand why people moan about buying gamers mags like PC gamer or whatever, for £5 you can try out LOADS of stuff, Read Lots of info, you could learn things from these books its not just for the disc.

If you buy it just for the disc then your missing out and probably dont have a large attention span anyways. That doesnt go for all peeps just most of the younger generation.

So in summery guys, for the £5 you pay, u get the mag, the info, Patches, Demos, Updates, Mods and possably a lot more depending on what you buy.
Playstation and xbox mags have less and for simalar costs. so this seems a bargin

You know what sucks is i own city of villians, an i cant even play it. They gave my a month free, still could not play....jus cause they dont sell game time cards in my city ANYWHERE… so i think they just shouldnt sold it in a city where they dont game time cards… SNAP

0Posted by Andy on 04 May at 16:15

So, there’s another free trial running in the USA and nothing for Euro servers..

2Posted by Crater on 21 May at 18:13

Andy: Not sure why you’re posting to a news story that’s over a year old… Try something a little more up to date. wink
