Free trial Inactive Subscription Active Subscription Active Subscription + Dragonflight Purchased
Levels You can create characters and level them up to 20. You can create characters and level them up to 20. You can create characters and level them up to 60. You can create characters and level them up to 70.
Content Can do random dungeons in the group finder. Can experience the beginning quests of some zones. Your level will cap out at 20, so this severely limits what you can do in-game. Same as free trial, but with more choices depending on what you unlocked during the time you were subscribed. Can do all content in the game except for that which is tied to Dragonflight. E.g., you can participate in the Trading Post each month, which released during Dragonflight, but you will be unable to make a Dracthyr Evoker or Dragonride. You can do all the content currently available in the game.
Other Can't use auction house, can't start conversations in whispers with other players, can't invite people to groups, etc. A bit less strict, but the same as the free trial.
