Say somebody has discovered Age of Time and wants to post a topic about it. Maybe wondering why it's dead, if anyone has tips for the hook challenge or whatever. So, they google it and find this forum and BOOM no help or discussion unless you pay $20
And say someone has the demo version of the game and things have broken on them or there is an issue with something else. Well, too bad, they have to pay $20 for help with the demo.
I really don't see why these topics are unlocked if you have to pay $20, considering Age of Time is free and help should be available to everyone
