A server less to gain first time bonus on and less pack options to buy. Today, reaching 20 as pure f2p is no great challenge anymore. Just not something most people with a little money to spend consider.
I've made my account a while after it went f2p. Actually, for the very reason that I could try it for free without time limit and after reading up on the conditions, they sounded fair. Not like: start free, pay a lot later. That's what stops my involvment with most other f2p games after reading a little about their condition (brother game LotRO from same company has one of the worst models I've seen btw). Didn't stay f2p for long, went p2p and bought a few point packs - money they'd never have earned with a subscription model.
