Few men are born brave. Many become so through training and force of discipline.

I was wondering if they are going to offer a trial any time soon. Does anyone have any insight on this?

I'm pretty sure I've seen you ask this question before and get the same answer I'm about to give (could be wrong so don't take offense to the previous comment).

This is a recently released game...most Triple A mmo's do not release free trials ever with in the first three to six months.  Try Googling you may find a Special Offer through a third party news website but an official free trial won't be seen for another 3 to 6 months which is the standard.

Actualy, almost all of them do. It is hard to think of a major mmorpg that doesn't. But the catch is, they can take a few months to start offering them.

Its a gamble, your judgment is called here.

AoC started apparently strong, but after a month the sub dived.  They hand out free trials, sorta.

LOTRo started out also apparently strong.  After 6 months or so, free trials pops up.

Which path do you think WAR will take?  Will sub fall flat and EA feel so desperate as to immediately throw out free trials?  Will the sales and sub be so strong that they will only provide free trial before the next expansion?

Even WoW with 10+ million subs provide free trials eventually.  If you are patient enough, you will get it.

I hope never. It's just an easy avenue for gold spamming without any risk.
