As far as I know it's free to play for anyone who created their account before 10tacle went into insolvency, PayPal or not. Inactive accounts have been activated for free play as well. Sadly, as I was PayPal, I have no means of supporting KK aside from bringing in some friends as new paying players.
New accounts have to be paid for. Click2Pay is essentially barred from business in the US, so the only current option in the US is PayByCash. Hopefully this will all get sorted and they'll have proper payment channels again so everyone can start supporting KK, but from what I know that won't happen until Black Prophecy is nearing release.
This all does mean that there's no way for you to get a free trial, and if you want to get in it's just a leap of faith in buying the game. Honestly, in my opinion, it's worth it. :)
