What if Badspot started selling 5 dollar full game trial keys?
MegaScientifical:
Giving away IDs in such a way is a terrible idea, especially for a trial user. They could be the biggest starfishs ever, and then the ID would be banned from servers when passed on. And you can't create a secondary ID system because of how everything in the game currently works. Most of the Add-Ons, as well as the game itself, would need an overhaul to accommodate it. It's more work than it's worth for people to experience how rude our community can be to new users.

Demo with multiplayer, but if the client has demo, they can still only have 150 bricks and will be kicked from the server after 5 minutes, and can only join 3 servers a day. Something like that

The game is literally built upon the ID system. If a person doesn't have a purchased ID, how will everything that work by identifying people by ID work? It hits the system at it's base, and everything above would need to be reworked for it.

What could happen as far as trial IDs:
If the ID system is String-based: T(# counting up from zero)
Real number: #.1
Integer: -#
Clone v.117:
It's not like Blockland has any good servers anymore anyway.
