Paid get all the breaks.

Vanguard's been preparing for its F2P changeover for some time, and it finally has unveiled the details - there's specific details in the long Q+A post and subsequent forum, but the membership page details the difference between accounts fully. Main differences are six races, seven classes, four characters per account, and a one-platinum limit on gold. Somewhat scary is the Customer Service comment, which limits free players to "Knowledge Base Only (except for transaction-based issues)", which sounds like it could present some issues.
