Sorry hirez but that is a lvl of stupid i refuse to encourage I highly recomend you do likewise.

If they are impressed enough within their first few days, they will be more likely to sub, right? If they feel the game drags a bit they may not bother. This goes for Trial Accounts too I suppose. _________________ ...............

They are only locked out on EU and PAC servers. You changed the matchmaker group range from -20/+20 to -30/+30. Not at all newb friendly, that.

The 4v4 queue actually had people in it before now it's empty again as they all queue up to rampage through a bunch of pugs. It's bad because the checkbox for only joining games without teams is off by default and has to be rechecked EVERY time you queue. _________________

Well thank-you steam for wasting over 14GB worth of bandwidth in downloading all the games updates so far just to go and delete it all and re-download the entire game again. As far as I'm concerned, VALVE is now going to pay my next internet bill.
