It's free till March 24, 2007. Plus you can only play the go up to level 6 in it. I don't see the point in getting too involved with something with that big of a restriction in rank.
I tried Planetside on a couple of occasions a couple years ago and the first person shooter part needed alot of work in my opinion. Maybe I will give it another look sometime in the future.
The game must not be doing too well if Sony is doing this.
Q: While playing the demo, will I be able to work towards merits?
A: Yes. All of your kill statistics towards merits will count, but some merits do not apply until after youâve reached a higher battle rank. So, you may not be able to get all your merits while in your demo period.
Q: Will a PlanetSide Reserves account be able to obtain a BFR?
A: You will be able to finish the prerequisites for obtaining a BFR but you will not be able to get the imprinting of the BFR until the account is upgraded to a paying account.
Q: Will I have any identifying feature on my character to single me out as a PlanetSide Reserves player?
A: Fortunately for you, no. Until you unlock your account and gain enough XP to reach Battle Rank 7 your armor design will be the same. If you want to avoid being singled out as a lower level player, purchase the client and upgrade to a paying account as soon as possible.
Thats all from the FAQ section of the "free" version. So basically whats the point. Unless you plan on upgrading to a pay account the game will get real boring fast once you hit battle rank 6.
