Heya Beau!
It's a good move I think, time-limited trials are a PITA for many reasons, level-limited trials are much preferred.
I wonder if it will lead to a two-tier community: A small elite group of level 250 players with actual paid accounts, and a much larger mass of level 125 players with free accounts. That may lead to tensions between the two, which could be either interesting or horrible.
I hope WG will remember to now make invasion events mostly level 150-200 mobs, so that the level 125 players can participate in them. Recent invasions have usually been all-250s mobs, and that's really frustrating to level 125 players who can't get a single hit in.
I think it's also good that every player can now have a free level 125 healing alt, which will hopefully offset *some* of the feelings of unfairness that were created by alts. Having free alts can also help with roleplaying and many other things.
