In the new Congestion Prevention for Shadowbringers release it states:

■Login Restrictions
In order to prevent possible server crashes due to congestion, login restrictions may be applied when attempting to log into certain Worlds.

Characters with active subscriptions will be prioritized when these queues are in place.

What is considered an active subscription? Is that only someone paying monthly and excludes time card users? Also, what about people on their free 30 days that just got the game. Are they excluded during their free 30 days?
