If the ID system is String-based: T(# counting up from zero)
Real number: #.1
Integer: -#

Most Add-Ons rely on IDs being all numbers. We can't pin "TRIAL" to it. They check specifically for number IDs. Most of the game would need to be rewritten.

The reason kids don't buy Blockland is because their parents don't trust buying things online. I doubt any money could be made on this.
Wesley Williams:
Trial IDs could just be numbers starting at 1000000 :cookieMonster:
Swholli:
Yeah, Mega's right.

This would pose huge problems in the limitation of the IDs. Not only would passing the IDs on to someone else bring with them the burden of whatever previous user did with those IDs, but we'd also need to allocate a chunk of IDs to be used as trials. We'd have to have a certain amount to be used (and assuming it worked on the system of reusing) and reused which would either mean limited amount of IDs available at one time thus a waiting list, or completely screw up the counting system (as the IDs also tell Dadspot how many people have bought his game) that we have in place.

That's not essentially true with Club Penguin or Roblox.
