I have done some research and my research shows that every MMO on the market right now give a free trial period that requires *no* purchase. This is really important to consumers because you need to be able to test the waters before committing to something like a months worth of playtime.

The free trial should be completely free of charge, give a free download to the game, and offer a set period of time or level cap (EVE or WoW, respectively).

Has this been spoken on yet?

Usually they come around 4th month or so.

Well, there will be an open beta. You could just try that one.

Yep, called the Open Beta.

No P2P MMO I can think of launched with a free trial. Its usually a marketing tool to get in people who were sitting on the fence.

Anyway, launches have enough stability issues without adding in a swarm of free trials as well.
