That's all I needed to hear, thanks!

Yeesh, is there any way to download it before the trial actually begins?

i don't think there is been looking... looks like you have to create a account through the link provided then download the client, just tried downloading the initial setup small file 38mb but then it ask you to create a account before continuing so better wait while Thursday.

have to do same with rift trial too.

yea i created my character and then went for my tea and now its offline
I think its a bit unfair to charge for the game considering you pay for game time, I`ve had a look but cant find the info, if I buy a time card does it go by time im logged on or by days whether im logged in or not?
im hoping its the first

i assume it the same billing model as wow you pay for your 30 days sub and play as little or often as you like but after 30 days have to pay your subs again it not based on when you log on ect.. i have on occasion had free days on Warcraft if they have had extended maintenance over the years they never have scheduled maintenance in the day though it's like 3am -11 am max most times shorter once a week
