I don't expect full access to the whole game ie T3 and above and HM's would be locked out but normal modes and brc should be available to everyone. AA again should be locked out for f2p and offline levels should also not be available to free payers but the rest should be.
Take a look at the planetside 2 f2p model. Full access everywhere access to the same equipment as subscribers but as a subscriber we get xp gain increase and station cash (funcom points) with the sub whih is £3 cheaper then aoc and I know none of my equipment or cash will be gone if I stop subbing and jst play. I have lost access to my 500 gold on my chars I cannot b bothered to level my hox because there is no gear I can buy when I get to 80 and I can't raid as T1 doesn't count as a raid anymore as you can 6 man vistrix and yak only kylliki needs 10 :)
Give me a reason to come in game even on free and you may encourage me to sub but atm I have no inclination to sub because I have to to do anything I maybe interested in.
Joel take a look at the f2p model and look where you can make changes for the better. To encourage the community not hinder it. AOC is a niche game but it has a loyal following. (in plain English) throw us a bone you may be supprised by the results.
