There are actually a lot of really stupid restrictions placed on free accounts. It's mostly chat restrictions which hardly impact your gameplay, but you also can't invite to parties. That's a pretty big one. I think if you're invited, you can accept, but inviting others won't work. The only other major one is being unable to trade/mail/use the auction house. They're all measures taken to weed out the businesses that make trials in order to spam advertising in major cities, but they're still pretty annoying.
You could probably dip your feet in the first few dungeons if the LFG tool still works for trials. You could also do some PvP, but you'll get your ass handed to you since most other players in your bracket will be alts with uber gear that was passed over from other characters. And playing up to 20 isn't a really good picture of the game, since most of the game is playing at max level. But whatever, at least you'll get to see some of the cooler quests since they reworked the starting areas.
