Create a 14 day free trial and you have full access until the game goes FTP. The trial isn't restricted to the Isle of Dawn anymore and you can start on the mainland.
If you've trialed before and don't mind starting again you can just create a new station account using the same email as your other account.
Using /claim right now you can get a large bag with extra bonuses on it. It's once per account though so choose it on the right character.
Try out this map mod as well if you intend on playing, makes a big difference: http://www.soresha.net/infomap/
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

No it's not. I had the option to start at the racial city when creating my character, that's where I started. I'm in the game right now on the mainland.
I also recommend getting this map mod for it. Makes a big difference.

Is there any reason why a new player would NOT want to begin on the starter island?
I wouldn't want to be on the STUCK on the starter island for 2 weeks.
Starting in the racial cities is still a starter area. All the tutorials are there and all the usual starter level quests. But, yeh, I don't know if starting on the Isle of Dawn will mean you get stuck there so I wouldn't risk it.
You 'used' to be able to get a unique item on the isle of dawn but it's been added to the other starting areas now.
Although you do get some decent starting gear from the starter island, starting at your own racial starting point gives you a better idea of your race's back story.
Yes, tried it again a week ago. The game is still very buggy and the devs seems to be completely disconnected from the community patch wise. Their current genius ideas on test include making every class significantly more boring to play at low levels by tkaing away many abilities. It's like none of the devs ever actually play the game. Probably cuz they're waiting for GW2 to come out lol.
None of those changes are in yet, no. So it's still one per race at the moment.
How I wish the races able to be any class were in now. So many people returning and playing again.
Can't wait till I can make my Dwarf Bard.
Oh man, why'd you have to call it? I was gonna make a dwarf bard! Now I'm gonna have to do something crazy like make a Lesser Giant Rogue or Monk! Bah, now I can't even make up my mind. Do you see what you have done?
Just to question the philosophy. Army of Socrates.
It was horrible, as soon as you got higher in level and you could not even pay your repair builds with your maximum ammount of ingame currency

I was told by someone else that they tried this with EQ (or EQ2, not sure) and it didn't work.
In the UK you can get the game from retailers though for about £2-3.. so I assume it's that cheap everywhere. If you REALLY want to unlock those classes that would be the best way to do it. Buy it quick and create the classes you want.
