Once you get out the free content out of the way, the game becomes locked behind the ESO Plus paywall; essentially making it Pay-to-Play again. You can't maintain and update an MMO without constant money coming in from somewhere. I hope they don't do what Bungie did and limit 10 people to a zone and pretend its open world.

  • The cancelled sub fees have changed my mind about the game...I WONT BE BUYING NOW. I don't think people realize the negative impact it will have. It's similar to a gym membership...can you imagine joining a gym where you pay $20 to join and that's it? It's great until you realize you only get to use the treadmill room and everyone else in that room is either the worlds greatest whiners or they're selling jogging shoes.

  • Guild wars 2. It has micro transactions but they're all vanity stuff, not pay to win. If they did this I'd still be happy.

  • The currency given to you by paying for Plus offers character progression. I bets it's next to impossible to get this currency out of Plus. And does Guild Wars lock off content if you've stopped paying?

  • Nope. You buy the game and the whole game is available to you. Though there's word that they're doing the first expansion to it this year.

  • [spoiler][quote]Bethesda Softworks, a ZeniMax Media company, today announced that its long awaited, award-winning multiplayer roleplaying game, The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, will release worldwide on June 9, 2015 for the PlayStation 4 system and Xbox One, the all-in-one games and entertainment system from Microsoft. For the first time in history, players will explore the legendary world of Tamriel with their friends on console. In the latest and biggest Elder Scrolls game ever made, players will be able to adventure alone, quest with friends, or join an army of hundreds in epic player vs. player battles as they explore and discover the secrets of a persistent Tamriel. We are also pleased to announce that The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited players will no longer be required to pay a monthly game subscription for extended play. Players will make a one-time purchase of the game and can then enjoy hundreds of hours of content without the requirement of a monthly game subscription fee when The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited becomes available on console in June and beginning March 17 for PC/Mac players. The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited includes all the great gameplay from the original PC/Mac game, plus all the updates and content additions, including the exciting new Justice and Champion systems. All existing PC/Mac game accounts, open or closed, will be updated to the Tamriel Unlimited edition in March and former players will be invited back to the game at that time to experience all that is new in the world. New players will make a one-time purchase of the game and play, without restrictions, for as long as they like – without game subscription fees. Tamriel Unlimited will be supported with special, optional downloadable content available for purchase and an in-game Crown Store for convenience and customization items. Regular updates and new gameplay will be offered to all players to enjoy free of additional charges. In addition, Bethesda will offer ESO Plus™ to players who wish to pay a single monthly charge for a premium membership service, providing exclusive in-game bonuses, a monthly allotment of crowns to use in the store and access to all DLC game packs while a member. PC/Mac players with active subscriptions on March 17 will be automatically enrolled into ESO Plus and begin enjoying its membership privileges. “Our fans are our biggest inspiration, and we’ve listened to their feedback on the entertainment experience they want,” said Matt Firor, Game Director of The Elder Scrolls Online. “We know that Elder Scrolls fans want choice when it comes to how they play and how they pay, and that is what they will get. We have made numerous changes to the game over the past year, and are confident this is a game that Elder Scrolls fans will love to play. Players can explore Tamriel with friends, battle creatures, craft, fish, steal, or siege. The choice is theirs. The game offers hundreds of hours of gameplay with unlimited adventures with one single game purchase. We can’t wait for everyone, whether they’ve played before or will be experiencing it for the first time, to begin adventuring in The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited.”[/quote][/spoiler]

  • Ah, ok. Sounds pretty vague. I heard a review on youtube that said every enemy you kill gives you 1 gold and horses cost 14k gold and without a horse you are pretty much just running the entire time. I hope they don't screw the currency up so that you have to pay. That excerpt makes it sound like it could go either way.
