I downloaded the trial...

But it's expired, so do I need to buy the game for forty some dollars, or is it possible to just start paying the monthly fee and keep playing without buying the disc?

You need to buy the game I believe. I looked on amazon.ca since you're in Canada and found it way cheaper than 40.00. Even on Turbines website it is pretty cheap, 19.99. They have the digital download same price, which may be what you need since you just need the key. Believe it comes with 30 days as well.

I think Amazon may even have copies for like 9 bucks too!

You can do the trial again if you have access to another email address.

You do need to buy the game to be able to play as you need to register a "Full game" key to your account.

In the uk the game is £2.99 online and £5 in the shops!

One thing: Back in the days the trial client did not feature the high-res textures and I am not sure if they are now part of the trial client. You might want to check if you are able to switch to high res textures in your trial installation. If not I'd think about buying the retail box if I were you because IMO otherwise you would miss out on those nice'n'shiny graphics
