Free, but capped at lvl4.
Saying that you find gems that unlock the levels easily enough, for example I have an unlock for level 8 and I hardly played this at all.
All free unless you want to be drow, forged and another race I can't remember. Some maps etc need to to paid for too, but plenty are free and if you do want some content you only need to make a one off payment for the bits you want.
Plus it seem when you do buy anything the membership auto-unlocks to the next level, which gives you a few more goodies....see Cull's comments somewhere on this forum.

Thanks for all the infos. 
A few friends and I are looking for a new home, MMO wise, and we thought about trying out DDO. To be honest, I have no idea where we are going to end up. So far Everquest (1), LotRO, DDO and WoW have cropped up as suggestions. I suppose we are going to see what the majority of the group wants and will then play that. Still, thanks a lot for the info.

i wonder if that means lotro will work too?
i downloaded the US one, patched it then servers were down today for more patches. repatched and it runs and lets me get to the character creation screen. seems to run at what i can only assume is full speed too. looks pretty too.
i'm surprised 'cos it's presumably direct-x not ogl. i didn't expect it to perform at all under wine but it does.
