Though actually they have said here that the level 13/skeleton king restrictions on "unintended" and they hope to remove them later. Which I'm assuming to mean they wanted to push out the other restrictions but didn't have enough time to implement just the set of restrictions they want so they went with the Starter Edition.
Bullshit. There was no way this patch could land with that restriction included and no one notice. Unintended my ass, it was perfectly intended as a stop gap because they can't figure out why their perfect online solution was fucked, and now the backlash is so bad they are crapping themselves and will say anything to try and get out of accepting blame.
"Unintended" in that they don't want that restriction in place long-term, but they knew it would be out there now.
The WoW trial->full upgrade also takes up to 72 hours to remove all the restrictions, though the level cap is raised immediately. However, it doesn't have a RMAH so nobody cares.
