I heard they can't use zone chat - does that mean that they can see it, but can't talk in it? Or is the whole thing disabled for them so they can't see it either?

    That's lame. Why do that? I don't use zone chat because I got tired of the sales pitches, screamers and trolls but it could be useful for the free weekender noobs.

    For what it's worth, PC players participating in the Free Play Weekend will not be able to use zone chat. That's the only restriction, though.

    I think you answered your own question. In other games that offer free trials, zone chat is also disabled to prevent people coming in and simply advertising without account related consequences.

    Gold sellers...

    But, it does seem ridiculous that they can't ask for help without whispering random people running past them.

    They can do Say and Yells and that should hopefully garner a response from our helpful player base.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Perhaps less ridiculous than gold spammers all weekend. Plus, from a business perspective, limitations on a free trial which you can unlock with a purchase is a selling approach.

    I figured zone chat would be absolutely terrible with all the free weekend trolls shitting it up. This is a great idea, regardless of gold spam.
