Allowing trial accounts prior to Graal###### usage would be something of a risk.

Sometimes you also have a Graal###### account which upgrades but the user has not created a community name, so if they were to let their gold expire without creating one it would also not be distinguishable.
I could add that specific check, though it still wouldn't be ideal, and perhaps unfair on those with a non Graal###### trial account.
