8 hour trial?
How is the 8 hour trial calculated? In real time from account setup? 'Cause that was not 8 hours of game time. That was minutes and there's no way in hell I'd subscribe based on what I've seen so far.
It is 8 hours of ingame time. If a subscribed player likes you they can give you an additional 14 (real life) days of play time on your trial account.
Little help then? 'Cause I'm quite interested in this game, but I seriously got only like five minutes of trial time.
I'd suggest you try again, Cortex. Maybe you was simply was disconnected while playing and can reconnect again?
Also, create a new account and enjoy another 8 online hours. If you stop playing, log off. But don't skip the tutorials!
Welcome aboard.

Against my better judgment, I just went ahead and paid for a short subscription.
Clearly, however, there's an issue with trial timing.

The devs are really active here on the forum so hopefully they'll see this and chime in. Perhaps bump the question up into the bugs forum? I hope you like what you see and stay with us.
I'll check the logs to see what's up with that. Thanks for pointing out the problem.
According to our logs, you had created the account back in 2008 and played for a while back then. Perhaps you played for 7h55m back then?
Even then I never even got through the tutorial and it told me my trial was up.
Could there have been an old issue with the game/client back then that ate up the time? And if show, why did it let me on at all this time around? When I look at my account info now, it shows:
Time spent online:0 days, 8:00:50
That in no way jives with reality.

Neither does your whining about the amount of trial time left on an account from 2008.

Thanks Dr. Lecter. That was a very useful post ;)
Cortex Reaver: When you first logged in recently, you should have been told how much of your trial time was used in the chat right after the initial login text. If you have that info available (in your errors.log file located in the directory where you installed VO) that will help.
