About free trial account..

Hello community,
I hope you can help me with some of my questions. I got free trial account from a friend few days ago and I love the game. I would like to continue playing after this free trial finishes so what are my next steps?
Do O need to buy digital or retail version of the game to be able to continue playing or I can just start my subsc. plan? Will my character progress stay after free trial finishes?

Thanks in advance for answers.

Your character will not go anywhere - even if there is a gap in your subscription time. You can buy either digital or retail version of the game now that digi-sales has resumed. What you are really buying is the activation code :P Even with free trial accounts, im pretty sure you need that. also once you do buy the game officially you get yet another 30 days free ( that comes with every new copy of the game ). Just make sure you are tying the game code to your already made account that you made for ur trial.

If I am incorrect on any of this, hopefully someone will point it out :D

This game doesn't have a free trial per se and because of that there is no free trial account. But everybody who buys the game gets 30 days of free game time, so I'm assuming your friend bought the game, registered it with an account and gave you the login info. If thats the case you should be able to log into the Mogstation(account management system) with the same login info you log into the game. There you can just add a subscription.

Hmm ya he must be talking bout the Buddy Pass?

So does this mean there is a trail system in place Buddy pass?

There is a 7 day trial thing. It was e-mailed out to people i believe, Not sure if your able to just 'get' one, or if it had to be one of those e-mails that went out. A friend of mine had one and used it for a while before he managed to remember his old 1.0 info.

As for what to do once the 7 days end, Sugar had it correct.

Yes but was this only available for 1.0 players or was this since the release of 2.0?

You see I have a lot of friends interested in playing this game just non willing to buy it lol (until they have played it)

It may have been something sent to the 1.0 players (as both of us were one, though i got no e-mail). But i have no idea.
