I find this a shame as it appears that this shard will become a shard purely for people playing on trial accounts, one of the reasons i continued to play rift for a month after my trial ran out was because of all the people that i could meet and how nice the community was as far as i can see the only good thing about a trial shard is the fact it brings all those people together, but it won't simulate real rift playing and will give a shock when people upgrade their accounts?

If people are taking the time and effort to install 10gb of game to sample it then the least they deserve is the fun enjoyable experiance that the rest of have had?

Don't worry about the fact resources and bosses etc, Realm of faye? will all be packed?

Might as well have a restricted F2p shard, when people reach level 20 they get capped?

20plat limit, no mounts, AH, Pets,

That would be better in my opinion.

The whole reason I paid money for Rift was the community

I don't think Trion should destroy other peoples!
