Yeah there was no free acounts as such. Basically Zeus idea that backfired was to use the community factor to keep numbers high and for every account bought you would get 2 extra credits that wouldnt carry over to the next round.
It was hoped that rather than selling them as 3 credits for £5 as it would be now that the 1 credit for £5 + 2 free credits would basically see people hand over their free credits to people whom wanted to play but in reality people viewed it as 3 credits for £5 and hence refused to hand the free credits over to just anyone and either sold them on to people whom didnt want 3 credits (or wanted to pay via a none supported method), only handed them out to good friends, went 3rds with friends or just sat on the credits
