Give trialists more functions

[BigCheez]

It's already a free 2 play game. There is no limit on the free trial next to the fact that you get none of the expansion classes/guilds.
But to make the game too handicapped is to give new players the impression the game is supposed to work like that... flawed in design.
It may potentially give the wrong impression and ruin the experience to the degree where you wouldn't subscribe. I still remember 10 years ago... I held off on subscribing for almost a year based on not enjoying the game... till I got tempted to subscribe the game felt so much different to the point where I didn't understand why I didn't subscribe earlier.

If it was a free 2 play game, I would still be able to play if I stopped paying my sub.

It's a pay 2 play game with a monthly subscription fee. There is a very generous free trial in place to allow players to try the game before deciding if they want to buy the game and take on a subscription to gain access to the full range of features. I don't want this to become a free 2 play game because I don't want the anti-consumer monetisation that comes with the f2p model.

The current free trial is more than enough and does not need to be expanded. If someone is on free trial and feels that they like the game but wishes they had access to more social features, they can buy the game.
