"Silver" is where most of us will fall, since the majority of us have played EQ before......that is if you remember/still own your old account. Raid gear is considered "prestige" gear now and is unequipable for "Silver" accounts. Most augs are considered "prestige" items as well, and will not be usable even if you got them YEARS ago.
"Silver" also has a 1k AA cap. Once you hit that cap, you cannot earn anymore AAs. Period. It doesn't seem so bad at first, but consider this: My old main (who I'd prefer to play again instead of creating a new toon) was level 70 with 2k AA when I stopped playing almost 5 years ago. This means I cannot buy ANY of the AAs that have been released in the past 5 years. EVER.
To get these restrictions removed, you have to spend some cash. Either subscribe or you can probably remove certain things one at a time. Either way, I'm not willing to spend real money on Live anymore, and the restrictions are too rough to have me consider trying it free.
Kinda off subject, but I played Aion for a bit before I found p99 and they are going COMPLETELY FREE in the near future. When that happens, I'll probably take a look at that game, if for no other reason than it was just so damn pretty. Game wasn't anything special but the graphics were amazing (at least 2 years ago when I last played). They will have a marketplace, but all that will be there is cosmetic stuff and consumables. So it sounds like you won't HAVE to spend money.
