In light of the new free trial experience I have decided to go ahead and try to create several linkshells for Free Trial members given the free trial limitations are the following:
Free Trial Players are not required to purchase licensed software to use the Free Trial.
One (1) Free Trial account may be registered using a Square Enix account so long as that Square Enix account has not been previously registered with any version of the game.
Free Trial Players cannot make in-game micro transactions during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players can create only eight (8) playable characters, restricted to one (1) playable character per world.
Free Trial account characters have their level capped at level sixty (60).
Free Trial account characters can obtain only a capped amount of in game currency (GIL).
Free Trial Players cannot use the "shout", "yell" or "tell" in-game chat options during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players cannot access the in-game market board during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players cannot trade items with other players during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players cannot use the Mogletter service during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players cannot hire a retainer character during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players can join a Linkshell if invited, but cannot create a new Linkshell during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players cannot create or join a Free Company during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players can join a party if invited or by using the Duty Finder, but cannot assemble a party during the Free Trial.
Free Trial Players cannot login to the Lodestone and or any other game forum during the Free Trial.
These Linkshells would allow those looking to hop in and experience the game to have a place to communicate with other free trial members on the Crystal Datacenter without having to rely on the often spammy Novice Network while also providing a way to bypass a lot of the restrictions set by the free trial itself.
I understand Square Enix's desire to limit RMT but limiting others from being able to converse in /tells to their friends when they join the game is a serious limitation that can cause grouping to become problematic without the use of discord or other out of game methods.
Keep an eye on this post for further details of the linkshells development, feedback is welcome as well!
-Will be updating the free trial limitations later today once the post gets updated.

Great idea but...
"Free Trial account characters have their level capped at level thirty five (35)."
You posted this the very same day the level cap gets increased to 60. -
