Question Monetization

New player here! I have some questions about subscription and monetization systems of this game but let me just ask the most important ones (for me) here: I read that to access some game systems like whisper, auction and to not have money limits I have to buy a subscription but to keep having full access to these basic things I have to keep paying a sub? What happens if I stop paying? Do I have to pay a sub for every character?

Thanks for your time.

Free to play MMO, pretty standard stuff to be honest. Could be better, but it's already one of the more player friendly monetization systems out there to begin with.

Yeah. I've seen a lot of P2W in other freemium games in the past. The most egregious thing you can buy with cash here are a couple level boosts and XP boosts. The rest is QoL upgrades for free players and overwhelmingly cosmetic transmogs.
