You need a CC to get the free trial. You can use a debit card that has a CC label on it such as visa. Other than that you are out of luck for the free trial.
So do you have to buy a subscription to the game in order to use the free trail or what? I'm confused here. I don't want to end up paying for a game I found out I don't even like.
No. If you cancel before your trial is up then you wont get charged. Thats how I believe it to work.
Correct...
You need a Credit Card to activate the trial but they won't charge your card till the trial is over. Matter of fact what I always do for these types of trial is use the card to activate the account then once it's activated immediately cancel the account. That way you don't have to worry about forgetting to cancel. Cancelling the account wont affect the trial since you get to play until the "end of your current billing cycle" (14 days later).
So you get 14 days free play without worrying about accidently getting charged.
Been doing it that way as long as I can remember now. Most games free trial's require credit cards for activation, unfortunately.

Alright, thanks that helps a lot. The only problem would be convincing my paranoid parents that Mythic Entertainment isn't going to misuse our credit card number or isn't going to find out where we live and rob us or something.
(sorry for double post)
I checked there website&support site, and even looked around with google for the answer to this question. Since I have nowhere else to turn I would like to see if mabey somone on here can help me.
I'v downloaded the 14-day trial and when I try to log in it asks for the credit card number and such. Now, it gives you 3 options on how much/ how long to pay (there is no 'I'm using free trial' option, or anything like that) and you HAVE to select one of these. My question is, if you do fill out the entier thing, does your credit card automaticaly start getting charged for whatever plan you chose after your 14 day trail has ended? or after the trail is does it give you an option before charging you?
I really need to know because my parents are convinced that everything/everyone on the Internet is out to screw us and unless I can get an answer to this question, they won't let me use there credit card number. Apparently Elnator's explaination wasn't specific enough...
It will charge you after the 14 days. But here is what you do:
1. Set up account and put in CC info.
2. Log into game.
3. Log out of game and then make sure it says "no thank you" and not slecting one of your characters.
4. Click to edit your account info.
5. Cancel the account.
6. You will have 14 days to play after which point you will be unable to log in without putting in new CC info.
The EASIEST way to do it is:
Select the '1 month' option (think that's 14.95)
Fill out all the info.
Log into the game
Log out and close the game
Launch the game again
Go to the "account information" option
Cancel the account
You are not billed until the 14 day trial expires. Since you cancelled immediately you will get to do the 14 day trial but will NOT be billed at the end because you've already cancelled. The 14 days is free and you'll be allowed to finish the trial period despite having cancelled.
