Paid Account Trial

Title:
Paid Account Trial

Area:
paid time

Summary:
Give users the option to have paid time for a certain length of time so see if they like it.

Description:
LJ had a feature where for free, you get two weeks of paid time. I think this would be useful for DW. By having this, users can preview what it's like to have paid accounts and therefore, if they like it, they would be more inclined to buy it. I would like to preview what it's like myself but am hesitant because I do not want to end up wasting money if I don't like it.

In some cases people might not be seriously considering getting a paid account since they feel like it's a wasted expense, but since it's a free thing to try, they check it out anyway. Once that runs out, maybe the $3 purchase goes on the consideration list after all, because they've seen what it is and can decide better if it's worth it.

I understand the "wow, it's just $3 and you get a month to play!" but if people want to weigh it before deciding if those $3 should go here or some other service, it seems like it's fair to allow that.
