It came with a free pack every month, your choice of warbanner (I believe this could be swapped out monthly or something), a token pack every month, and access to the rune forge, which was the only way to craft Banners/Diplos/Giving Trees.
Two packs, actually, iirc. Two packs, a rare, a token pack, a warbanner ... Not sure though, long time ago.
I remember that Lich King was used to forge the Spectral Emissary. I think Lich King was going for around $40 at the time.
I was able to find a cached Page from 07 on Pox. It was the introduction of Capture the Flag, King of the Hill, and Premium Membership. This is the summary, but I'll put a link below.
