Why am I not gaining EXP?

I hit level 14, and am still killing guys equal to, or higher than my level, but I stopped gaining exp. Is this because I still have a trial account?

Trial accounts have many restrictions, most implemented to limit RMT, including a level max of 14.

Thanks again. Will this go away after I purchase a game code?

Yes, once you upgrade to a full account you can continue to level that character as per normal.

Thanks!

EDIT: Wait. Is there any way I can use up the rest of my trial time before I start paying, without the limitations? I heard something about using your credit card even before you start paying.

Sure, you can continue to play the current character, just no XP for the duration, or make a new character to try out. Most players have several dozens of characters.

You have to purchase the game (between $10 and $20, typically) before you can 'start paying'. You have to give your credit card or Paypal information, but you are not charged until your free time is up. Alternately, you can input a game card (which is $20 and counts as purchasing the game AND includes a month's playtime) or time card (which costs between $15 and $45 and includes one to three months playtime). Both the game and time cards are used when you input them, but they add their time to the end of your freebie trial time.

I was under the impression that the remaining Trial time carried over when you activated the account but that might just be wishful thinking on my part.

Well, I've always assumed that paid time started after the trial time period. I know your Reg date starts from the beginning of your trial period.

You can buy Architect Edition for 99 cents at Amazon via GoHastings:

You get the game, a physical DVD for future installations, a month of play time and a free booster for 99 cents plus shipping!

And welcome to the game!

WARNING: I bold names.

Buying and applying a retail code will ADD 30 days of game time to the end of your existing trial time (add 30 days to your "playable until" date in your account management screen). Once applied, your account is no longer trial status, and all limitations should be lifted. If they are not, then you should be able to /petition to get them removed.

*To prevent possible issues, make sure you are logged out while applying codes to your account. Status is usually changed instantly, but sometimes I've had it take up to an hour before things became available to me in-game. If things don't seem right, log out and log back in to recheck.

Also, be sure that you are applying the game code to your trial account as an upgrade, not creating a new account.

You also don't have to buy the latest release. If you have something like a Big Lots! nearby, you're likely to find a City of Heroes, City of Villains, a DVD Collector's Ed., and possible Good vs Evil, for a whopping $5.
