Overview
Trial accounts allow a player to take City of Heroes and/or City of Villains for a test run. They are free and last either 10 or 14 days, depending on the source of the trial account code. Up until Issue 12, a trial account was not limited in what it could do; as of Issue 12, there are several restrictions put in place. Most of these restrictions were placed due to tells and in-game email spam.
Restrictions
- Trial Accounts cannot email other players
- Trial Accounts may not level past 13
- Trial Accounts can only have 50k influence
- Trial Accounts can only speak in
- Trial Accounts cannot invite players to team
- 1. Trial Accounts may join teams, but not invite other players
- 2. Trial Accounts may not join SuperGroups.
Sources
Trial account codes are always available from the "Refer a Friend" option in a player's Master Account options. Each player may give out three of these at a time. They last ten days, and if the trial account is upgraded to a retail-code account, the person who originated the offer gets a month of free time added to the end of their subscription.
Trial accounts are also available from box sets. They come on small pieces of paper with a code on it. These last 14 days and do not give a free month to the owner of the box set if the account is upgraded to a retail-code account.
An additional source is website offering trial account codes. These typically last either 14 or 10 days, though vastly more often 14. They do not give a free month to anyone if the account is upgraded to a retail-code account.
