Is ROF still free? Last I checked it was like $39.99.

On live, everyone uses the same client. Buying RoF only changes the flag you have on your account for which expansions you own and what functionality you have available because of it, like being able to buy from the bazaar in any zone.

To clarify what lerxst2112 said; no RoF is not free. But, the F2P client is free on Steam and it is the same download you get if you purchase the RoF client via Steam. So, you only need the F2P client from steam, which is (obviously) free.

Worth noting is that the Steam download is currently a different version than the version of "RoF" that is compatible with EQEmu. We are trying to figure out the best way to deal with these updates, and will hopefully have a way to make the newer version(s) compatible as well. For now, if you don't already have the previous RoF version from Steam (before a the last couple days), you won't be able to get download the F2P from Steam and use it for EQEmu.
