"If you've got a hankering for some sandbox action, but find the thought of a subscription up-front is a deal-breaker, then Notorious Games has heard your unspoken plea! The studio announced that a free trial server is now open to the public.
The trial server is the same game as the subscription server, although the separation will certainly protect those investing in the title. All you have to do to access the trial server is sign up on the forums, after which instructions will appear on your account page.
There's one caveat of playing Xsyon for free, however: The team plans to hit the big reset switch on the trial server every Monday. So if you're looking to preserve your hard work, you'll eventually have to subscribe."
Make a free account on the forums, download the client and start playing! I'm downloading now!

I encourage everyone here that likes to discuss, analyze and play sandbox MMOs to try out Xsyon as it's a great example of some of the options out there and some new approaches to sandbox worlds. Good, bad or otherwise, with a free trial there is no reason NOT to try it.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Just saw the email from them regarding this after logging into that email account. Headed here to make sure the news was spread. I'm just curious about it so I'm downloading now as well.
A Free Trial is a good step for them, obviously. It's one of those games I would never try if not for the Trial.
Here's hoping it's an enlightening experience.
