What if Badspot hosted a few internet servers, just for demo users? They could be things like TDM/CTF, zombies, fortwars, inf mining, trench, etc. Eventually they'd want more of that and would buy I think.
SWAT One:
Excelent, but Demo servers should be put through a certain filter like "Demo Servers." Also, who would moderate those anyway? I havn't seen Badspot go online in a long time and Ephialtes is busy with RTB4Beta. The only way I could see this operating is if a new hosting method were added under Demo(for those who bought the game already). In retrospect, it could show the bad sides of the community. Final controversy is that 1) They have no official name, and are all named "Blockhead." 2) They do not own a key. So in order to do this, a seperate Authentication wold need to be created called "Demo Authentication Key."
There's a chance though that still remains a problem: They get the same features as you would get in full version, so why buy it? Finally, there's a chance that this may narrow the Current Authentication System to have fewer keys available.
You put foreward an outstanding concept, but there are too many problems with it. I'm glad I noticed before the naïve users promoted this and derailed topic...
Now, promotion is a good idea, and there is nothing wrong with it.
