Yeah, I was all set to give it a try, then found out fileplanet wants you to pay $6 just to be able to try out the "free" trial. Bullshit.

Oh you have to be a paid subscriber to try it. screw that.

Well, it is around a 7GB download. Lately there's been too many legal issues with turrents to try anything of that sort, and the distribution of such could cause for some very messed up code (maleware anyone?).

However, I'm sure that down the line they'll put in some free demos or something at stores just like Blizz did with their game. Heck, before Blizz made their trial free, they charged roughly $3 USD for the trial disc at Gamestop's and Walmart's, only after TBC released did they actually make it truely "free."

I still see those "free" trial discs for sale at some Gamestops. Granted, these are the Gamestops where I feel like I'm about to get shot rather than the well-run ones, but still. It always makes me laugh.
