For new players there are only a few limitations, that concern trading and chat amongst others.

Am i understanding this correctly? no cost at all (no subscription AND no initial purchase)?
Beats the wow starter accounts to the ground, it seems

You will receive the Starter rank (http://www.aionfreetoplay.com/website/featuresdetails/) when you start playing Aion after the switch to the free-to-play model (http://www.aionfreetoplay.com/website/free2play/). As a Starter (http://www.aionfreetoplay.com/website/featuresdetails/) you will have access to all regions.
You will be able to select your hero from the entire range of four classes, level them up to level 55 as well as experience all 3,900 quests – and all absolutely free!

Some game options will be limited however: amongst other things, you will only be able to create two characters, you won't be able to use certain chat channels and you will be unable to carry out any private trading.

All possibilities can however be unlocked with the purchase of a Gold Pack (http://www.aionfreetoplay.com/website/featuresdetails/). Alternatively you can earn yourself the Veteran rank (http://www.aionfreetoplay.com/website/featuresdetails/) by fulfilling certain requirements. More details on how it will work will be made available in time before the switch.

If I was remotely interested in AION I'd do it. Previously subscribed so...what to lose? Time. Do not wanna.

i'll give it a shot, never tried it before.
since i'm playing erratically at best, i want something i don't have to pay monthly while going full months without playing, and wow starter edition is very limited.
This should be a nice change. Downloading it as we speak
