A couple of questions does the free month of the game get added onto the trial time? Am looking at the game packs on the site, which do ya get the City of Heroes® (Europe) Architect Edition , looks exciting or City of Heroes®/City of Villains Combined Edition.
Am confused dont wanna buy the wrong one and have to buy another 
Hi and welcome
I would go for AE (Architect Edition), the newest version. and yes the free month is added to your time I think you have to input your paying method but the free month is used before they take payment.
As for your other problem post in the Technical Issues & Bugs forum and some very helpful member will be along
Happy to be on Defiant.

Welcome, be sure to come say hello over in the EU forum
Sorry to hear you're having technical problems, like mereman said they're pretty good over in the tech forum as solving those. are you using an ATI card by any chance?
Hi and thx for the advice have actually managed to sort it for the moment by using the 'safe mode' and accepting the graphics it gave me then (if thats right). I means I can play, graphis not too bad and it doesn't throw me out lol.
So I can play but will ask in the tech bit thx and dig a bit further its enough for now that I can play yay...Have posted in the EU forum too 
Welcome to CoH... and more importantly... EU Defiant!
If you're looking for more "free" month gameplay, you'll find some other add-ons will give you that.
For example the "City of Heroes® (Europe) Mac Special Edition". Not only will it give you 1 month free game time, you'll have the added bonus of the Mission Teleporter Power and Valkyrie Costume set (which has majestic looking wings).
In fact might as well the "City of Heroes®/City of Villains Combined Edition" too. You'll get your free month and additional perks (jump pack prestige power/ Pocket D teleporter).

I am new to City of Heroes, downloaded trial yesterday and after figuring out why I couldn't log in (thx to thread on Developement) I started playing its great, really enjoyed myself and if I can figure out why it crashes/throws me out of game/graphics start flashing in and out I will be buying the game.
Any help and advice appreciated, still struggling with the 'chat' stuff and am very slow replying ...
