I wanted to ask how far you can get in the demo. Can anyone become a master of anything? Its a great awsome game and I may buy it but I was just wondering about the demo.

When the one hour ends, the game shuts itself off. However, in VV1, you could get far as you wanted to, as long as you did not exit out of the game. That is all I can say.

I recall another thread where someone was running the VV2 demo and had accumulated enough tech points to buy a technology he wanted, but the demo would not sell it to him.

I downloaded the one hour trial version on VV2 and it just never said my hour was up! So I left it running on my computer for 4 days, afraid to lose my progress. Eventually the PC started to freeze so I just bought it.

I had heard that the trial quit without warning on 60 minutes so I exited on 59 minutes to make sure I got as far as I could. I certainly didn't get a master in that time, but I think I got a master scientist not very long after getting the full version and restarting, so I suppose it might be possible.
