I play Lord of the Rings Online for free.
You are able to get to about level 30-35 for completely Free and then there are dungeons which you can basically level up as high as possible.
After that I bought in game points (Turbine Points) for 17 Euros (1700 TP) and that has me now up to level 51 and I can still go on. The points worth to unlock the quests in the next area was 4 euros (400 points) and 6 euros (600 points) worth (I've bought 2 new questing areas) and that still left me with 7 euros (700 points) to spend on the account.
There are deeds in the game which are basically tasks. The easiest one is slayer-deed which only requires you to kill a certain amount of enemies and then you get these points for free in game. Often the first one is for example, kill 50 boars. When you do that you get 5TP, when that is done you get the advanced boar slaying deed which requires you to kill 100 boars and when that is done you get 10TP and the last part is to kill 150 of them and that gives you another 15TP. There are quests which require to kill boars so often you get the deeds done as you quest and by killing 300 boars you earned 30TP to use on your account. You get nothing for 30TP but I got up to 460TP from deeds and when the Lotro Store had a sale off on one of the quest areas so it only required 400TP (instead of the normal 750) to unlock I bought it and could continue to play. There are some restrictions to Free to Play characters but nothing that has yet given me any big trouble after I bought the gold cap removal (a F2P (Free 2 Play) character can only have max 2gold unless you buy the gold cap removal which you buy with TP)
This might sound complicated but if you start playing you'll very soon notice how this all works and by putting 17 euros on the game I expanded my playing capability with A LOT and they are trying to expan the F2P section all the time. When I started the F2P areas only went to level 20 but they've opened ares up to level 30-35 after that (you had to buy this areas quests with TP when I started playing).
