You can head over to the AoC main site to download your very own 7-day trial

They ruined this game hardcore imo.

Do they have like a trial only version that just includes the starting area or something?  I don't really want to download a 13+GB file.

rulesssss:

Age of Conan US Trial Key

Welcome to the free 7 day trial of Age of Conan. Get ready for the most savage, sexy and brutal MMO ever created! The 7 days of free playtime will start from the first time you log into the game. Please note that trial accounts have some restrictions to them, the most noticeable are inability to trade with others, restrictions to use public channels, inability to post on forums and inability to send in-game mail. All these restrictions are lifted once you upgrade your account to the full version of the game.

The client you are about to download contains everything you require to start playing the game. Through the patcher you may elect to download the rest of the game at your own convenience. This is not needed before you reach level 20.

To continue playing after the trial period, you must purchase the full game. This is available for only $19.99 and includes an additional 30 days gametime.

IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you have selected the correct version of the game as the US version will not work on the EU servers.

ohoooooo?

I see the one on fileplanet is only about a GB.  It also seems like you can get a 14 day trial if you go through them.
