I've been playing this game with the new F2P restrictions lately, and, after two years away, it's changed very much.
If you've played before, I recommend that you take a (free) look around at the scenery. Atlas Park has had a nice overhaul.
The restrictions for the different player types (new, returning and subscriber) are quite complex, and new players are very restricted in what they can do, even compared with returning players. Over time, though, more rights are afforded to them via the veteran reward badges (first one after 1 month, I think).
You get access to travel powers at level 4 nowadays, too.
Also, there is a new update:

Paragon Studios has announced that a special City of Heroes Issue 21 content update is on the horizon. The update is known as Media Blitz, but Paragon assures players this is not related to any sort of Journalist power set (though on second thought, maybe it should be). When the update hits, VIP players will be given the opportunity to take part in a brand-new Incarnate Trial known as the TPN Campus.
This new Incarnate Trial will see players infiltrating the TPN Campus in order to confront "a mighty adversary whom [they] will want to keep an eye on." Who is this mysterious rival? Well, there's only one way to find out!
Paragon also notes that a second Incarnate Trial will also come with the update, though the studio isn't quite ready to give the specifics. To top it all off, players "will also be able to unlock brand new abilities for [their] Alpha, Destiny, Interface, and Judgment Incarnate Slots" in order to further progress their characters. Stay tuned for more details on the new Issue 21 update as they become available.
