1) This server is listed under "Gold" section so to unlock the full capability of what you can do you need to upgrade to gold.

2) Trial Island gives you a decent taste of what there is out there without giving you way too much.

3) You, like others are asking for way too much for trials. Its obvious that they don't want this turning into another Zone (where the trials run rampant and don't upgrade). Although Tig has mentioned that they working on something to make it more trial friendly.
