I recently tried the 14-day game trial thing on here and i liked the game, i went to gamestop and bought the Cd "City Of Heroes Architect Edition" which says on the front "first month of pay included", however everytime i try to confirm the serial code it goes to "payment method" and tried to make me pay for something, can anyone help with this?

You MUST enter a payment method to play the game. You can give it a credit card and immediately cancel if you want (giving you a free month of play and nothing charged), or use paypal or a time card, but you have to have something.

No you can use it but you'll need to buy a timecard as well (effectively you'll need to pre-pay for one month after your free month ends). Most stores that sell the game also sell time cards.

And welcome to the game.

NCsoft requires you to prove that you can continue to pay for the account when you're trying to upgrade to a retail account. This includes credit card, paypal, and time cards/game cards (two different things).

With credit cards and paypal, you can cancel immediately after upgrading your account to enjoy your free month and never get charged a single penny. If you don't cancel, at the END of your free month, you will begin being charged for your subscription (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or annually, whichever one you end up choosing).

With time cards and game cards, you must 'pay' for your month (the card), so you end up with a free month and a paid month. Time cards and game cards are not automatically-renewing subscriptions. They are something you must do every X days (X being how many days are included in your time/game card).
