A free trial is a great way for a game to become something that will draw a player to continue playing without any initial risk aside from the original purchase of the game. With a Massively Multiplayer Online Game(MMOG), it is nearly an industry standard to enable gamers the opportunity to play the game without having to pay a further price for initial subscription.
Though there is not yet any word on if there is to be a free trial offered for EverQuest II, every other MMOG released by Sony Online Entertainment has had at minimum, a 14-day trial with the purchase of the game. This may not hold true upon the release of EverQuest II, but the chances of it being offered are great.
