WoW is now free to play through level 20. They did away with the 14day trial account... and from the looks of it classic wow sub level(battle chest what you buy). You can play forever on toons up to level 20 including draenai and blood elves.
The following are the limitations on free accounts:
The only one that seemed rather odd was trade skills being capped at 100. In wow, 100 is an odd number, 75 or 150 would be a more natural number. Everything else looks kosher. It's unfortunate the have to lock the accounts down so much to prevent exploiting, griefing, and gold selling.- A level cap of 20.
- A maximum of 10 gold.
- Trade skills are capped at 100 ranks.

- Voice chat disabled on Starter Edition accounts.
