There are no classes in the game, instead players directly control pirate ships which they can purchase; three ships can be bought with standard gold currency, but the biggest ships in the game (Frigate and Large Frigate) cost Diamonds. Diamonds can be earned in game but unless players are going to dedicate their time to farming them it can take a while to acquire what you need.

'No'
Technically it does have limitations, but these are based on your level (required level 10) and has nothing to do with being a subscription or free account.
Are inventory slots and/or personal bank slots limited in any way?
'No'
Bank size is not limited in any way, though storage is based on the size/type of ship you have access to, and so by proxy the Premium ships which are the biggest ships have bigger storage, this is more a feature of the game than a free account restriction.
Can you access all the zones and dungeons?
'Yes'
All areas can be accessed by free accounts.
Is High-end Content (PvP or PvE raids) restricted?
'No'
PvP and PvE is all accessible regardless of whether you have spent any money on the game.
Can you fully enjoy the game without paying a single 'penny'?
'Yes' +10%
The game is truly designed to be pay-to-win at the top competitive levels, whilst there’s no limitations on players necessarily that would stop them acquiring things through gameplay that paying players have bought, the time it takes to do this and stay competitive is unrealistic. Depending on what you are wanting from the game will determine how fun it is without spending any cash.
