Except, in my opinion, F2P ruined Rift. Don't get me wrong, as free to play goes, Rift is great. Hell, it's still not even horrible for a subscription game; but it was so much better before they started going down that road. Before they started heading that direction, they had so much new content on a regular basis it was hard for a person with limited play time like myself to do the events AND progress through the world. At one point, I was at least 5 levels ahead of the main story content I was on due to XP from events. Their motto at the time was "your sub should cover everything", then they announced Storm Legion. Around that time, they offered a great deal on year subs. Then the continuous new content pretty much dried up as development was directed to the expansion. Then they announced they were going to charge for the expansion. Then the expansion flopped. Then the annual subscriptions from the previous year rolled over. Then they announced F2P. Cash shop events have replaced content events. Grind/purchase has replaced rewards for taking part in events.Pay for more than one month at a time = cheaper sub fee. And ESO is 100% in line with the vast majority of all other MMO's for it's monthly sub fee.
Lol at the comment about going F2P, it amazes me that people don't get that F2P isn't a bad thing (if done right) and makes the company FAR more money than sub base, especially if it's both like Rift. Sure P2W sucks and I would leave ESO if it ended up that way, but F2P is no worries at all.
Eating in the cinema *shudders* Even if I wanted to, hey, I'm a poor student, I have better things to spend my money on than their overpriced snacks.

But I'm fine with the sub price, so whatever. I'm not entirely sure if this game is worth $15 in its current state, but hopefully it will get better soon(ish).
Still, of course I'd love to see a cheaper sub. Ideally, they'd pay me to play. If only the world worked like this...
My bad, i guess i should have specified that i didn't mean a matinee. And i guess i should have also included that most people would be getting some kind of snack and a drink. And let's not forget the gas or bus-fare to get to the theater, there and back.
Let's see, did i forget anything else to specify out that you won't be doing when you go out to see your matinee Rosveen?
Sarcasm aside, i think you got my point before
Anyway, yes, I get your point. It'd probably be easier if I didn't have to google matinee - I still don't quite get it though, if you did not mean a matinee, what did you mean and what's the difference? Help a confused non-native.

Actually in my area, food at the movie theater is pretty good. And as most are in complexes with other eating establishments so there is quite a selection of good eats.
@ the bold. Matinee showings of movies are usually half-price. Because they are shown earlier in the day and the theaters want to entice ppl in during the off-peak times.

You will literally spend more going out to see a 90 min movie by yourself than you do for one month's sub.
If $15 a month is gonna break you, you shouldn't be looking to spend ANY money outside the necessities(food, rent, gas, and lights). Not a judgement, a fact.
And just to stay on topic-No, the sub fee is fine.

Yep. My husband paid large last night to take us out to see 3D Godzilla, in which the 3D was unnoticable, and there was hardly any Godzilla. He wouldn't even pick up that damn school bus and throw it, like he should have done. What a gyp. Yes, I get better value from ESO than movies, bugs or not.
Hollywood is dumb. When I go see a monster movie, I want to see monsters. I don't CARE about some ***' personal crap.

I'm not saying the food is bad, it's just not worth it if I can smuggle in my own snacks. Cheaper this way and no one ever checks. And I wasn't talking about half price. Where I live, the full price for a 3D movie in peak time is about $8.5. It's the most expensive option. I pay less because I'm a student. Standard snacks almost double it, but it's still under $15. I wasn't taking the cheapest possible option when I quoted your post, it's just how it works for me - I'd have to really try to make one cinema trip cost $15. Assuming no after cinema dinner or anything - but why would I if I'm alone, which is what you mentioned at the beginning.
So, erm, ESO sub?
