Account Status
...

Due to the nature of this change, players are now permitted to login to the game when their account is expired. Avatars are extremely limited in what they can do on an expired account. Messages inform you when this is the case.

These are the specific limitations when your login account is expired:

• You cannot create a new empire.
  
• You can only communicate on the Voice channel.
  
• You cannot alter a mission.
  
• You cannot publish or unpublish blueprints.
  
• You cannot conduct diplomacy.
  
• You cannot construct or demolish buildings, roads or fences.
  

This is an interesting change.
Not sure if more limitations are needed. Maybe allowing communication on the Help channel wouldn't be a bad idea. But I guess we'll have to see how it works.
