I figured this information wasn't really gathered in one spot to understand what limits exist on cash shop items and subscriptions. This is so far based on my own testing and playing around in closed beta, if anyone has additional information or have experienced things differently, please let me know, with evidence if possible.
I had to find this stuff out mostly through experimentation and wished I had this information at the beginning of CBT, once Open Beta arrives and people will be paying with real money to play, this information will be vital I think. It helps in deciding when, what and how to do things. Sort of "Learn from my Fail"
Account Wide:
Subscriptions: As far as I know, these are stackable, if you buy My Room Access for 30 days then buy Premium Pass later for 90 days, you will get 120 days My Room access and 90 days of everything else in the Pass.
Premium Pass
Includes, but also available separately:
"My Room" Access
Player Trading (The ability to open a trade window with another player, both players need this to trade)
Player Shop Creation (Accessing other player's shops is free, making and maintaining one is a subscription)

"Premium Room" Access (No idea where this is)
Premium Storage Tab Access (200? slots per ship)

"Scratch" Card progress (Which items you have received so far, the items you receive are awarded on the ship you played on once-only)
Number of Characters (Max 12)(Characters are tied to a ship, but your limit is per account. Creation is free only if there are no other characters on that account. (Delete you only char and it costs nothing to make another). As long as you have 1 or more characters on that account, even if you delete a character, character creation will cost AC)

Partner Character Registration (Only one character can be registered per ship as a Partner Character for friends/your other characters to use)
