I tried the basic route and it wasn't too bad. I was able to level up lots of times and accomplish quite a bit. Unfortunately, not only was I unable to level any items any further or acquire new weapons and skills, I also ran out of quests that were not locked for basic members. I found this to be the most frustrating element. I suppose if you want a truly freeform game, where you can just wander and do as you wish with no directives or missions to accomplish, basic would be ok. You will always struggle in battles past a certain point, since your skills cannot go above 3, but you can still level your notoriety (albeit dreadfully slowly) just by killing enemies. I am sad to admit it, but after 2 days of no quests to do, I caved and paid the $5 for the first month. In the end, I am sure I will get that much enjoyment out of it, if not more. I still haven't decided if I will re-up for a longer time.
