So far, I've encountered 3 problems with the trial account:
Creation:
(1) Account creation does not accept the "Outside US/Canada" selection for STATE. I had to select some US/Canada state before I could continue.
Termination of Subscription:
(1) Throws up an error when I try to cancel my subscription:
"An error occured while adding your subscription. Please try again, and verify your Credit Card information. If you continue to have problems updating your account, please contact Customer Service to resolve the issue."
Creating New Characters:
(1) Can't create new character after selecting shard. It just shows the user login and password fields (with the stuff like Recall Reset, etc.) but the "Play Horizons" button can't be clicked. I've got .NET 1.1, and I don't have any ActiveX / firewall issues...
Obviously, the most critical thing for me now is to ensure I can cancel the subscription. Have submitted a ticket for that, but I'd love to know how I can fix the character creation issue before I give up.
Thanks!
