Found a 7 day free trial on the australian site Bigpond. It will only work for the 7 days and after that you will have to make a new account to continue playing unless you have an aussy ip address.

http://www.bigpondgames.com/   They have a nice banner ad up.

 

Good luck and see you all on the open seas!

    Yes thers actually a 7 day trial (THEIRS A CATCH) if you start it up and like the game you have to uninstall it entirely and buy the game, because the trial is only for the australian server (Bigpond) and is completly seperate from the SOE client and the USA/EURO Servers. So go ahead and try the trial at www.bigpond.com.au then go to games and you will see it. Just remember " DO NOT "Subscribe to them or you will be stuck with the australians which have a 15 hour time difference then us americans and euros.

     

    so if i say did decide to stay on Aussie server... the game client would be free no? im a bit of an insomniac so i dont think i would mind the aussie time difference....

     

    Well yes and no,

    *You dont get a free 30 day subscription like you do with the regular version

    *The subscription rate cost more (16$ a month)

    * Your locked into one server: which means your locked into one nation, which means if you dont like the other people playing theres no way to get away from them.

    *15 hour time difference, you will not see anyone on unless your on from 3am-8am(EST) which reflects to 6pm-11pm in aussie (prime time hours)

    *The population on this single server is extremely low

    *Different Patching schedule, the aussie server recieves patches days after the regular version has recieved patches.

    Overall its just not a smart idea to stay with bigpond, try the game, if you like it than uninstall and get the regular version.

    I just tried to download the client, you have to create an account to do so.  When you try to create the account it says only available for Aussie IP addresses.  How did you get around that?

    It should only give you that message if you try to subscribe to the game. To download and play the trial, you just need to create a free account for the BigPond site itself.  It should let you do that, I was able to with no problems. If not, you can try using a proxy service to access BigPond (so it won't know where your IP address is coming from). Just Google "proxy site" for info on this if you are unfamiliar with it.
