I just cancelled my sub the day before it went free to play. All I can say is that if you want to actually enjoy the game, you need to go with the VIP plan and continue to pay the 14.99 subscription. Maybe if you'd never tried it, you could live with the free restrictions. But once you've had a taste of things that should just be inherent (like bag slots, traits, and full auctions) you won't be happy with anything less than all of it.

This. The full game is great, but I think Turbine is really shooting themselves in the foot. Theoretically, you can (eventually) get the full game experience by using "Turbine Points" you receive from completing quests, deeds, etc., to "buy" upgrades. The problem is Turbine is charging for almost every damn thing, and the point costs compared to the points you receive while playing is insane. The monthly charge is much better deal, and you can get 3 months for $30.
