This week's patch has made a change to accounts, where unsubbed
accounts now have the same access as a "starter" account - very
limited, restricted to lvl 20 (higher lvl existing characters are
locked), no trading, no whispering people who don't already have you
on friends etc, but it's better than zero access, and if you want to
mess around on a lowbie, you now can. 

One difference to starter accounts is that you *can* join a guild, so
long as you already had a character in that guild - you do however
need to be able to communicate with a guildie outside the game to tell
them your character name, since you can't whisper them till they have
you on friends (and battle.net whispers didn't seem to work at all
when my bf logged in on his expired account, although admittedly he
could probably have just used the launcher friendslist!).

I have a feeling more people here are unsubbed than currently
subscribing, so thought this might be useful to some ;-)
