You can acquire "loyalty points" which get you- Exclusive pets
- Exclusive emotes
- Exclusive customization (Glowing eyes/blazing trail)
- Exclusive costumes
- Extra boosts
- Exclusive skill emotes (example catching fish with a dynamite)
This might be ok for a free to play game, to call it "loyalty points" - but we all paid for the game and its content, subscribers are not more loyal than anyone else, they just subscribe for a package of crowns which about equal out their paid money and they get on top of it some extras - this is not more loyal at all, this is not different from buying something in a subscription like fashion, because that is what this subscription actually is, you buy crowns and some extras on a regular base. It has exactly nothing to do with loyalty.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭I have subscribed and un subscribed due to lack of funds. I used the crowns to buy the dlcs, I haven't seen any other game give you equivalent in game currency for your subscription fee. Essentially making every thing else a "free" perk, the 10% xp and 10% reduction on research time.
That being said, I would love to see something a bit different what's currently offered, not too sure what, but I know I have that feeling.
I also (stealing this idea from Neverwinter) love how they have a (using eso terms) crowns for gold, or gold for crowns player exchange. It allowed for players like myself to earn crowns for free by buying them from someone whom either didn't have the time to get said gold or had access crowns they couldn't do anything with.
The exchange kept the economy very lively as well, as well as giving players something to work for.0 -

Subscribers already get loyalty points. Crowns.
As far as exclusives go, if that is a difference maker for people deciding to sub or not, I suppose they should consider it.0 -

Neverwinter actually doesn't do that, though. It's Astral Diamonds for Zen. Astral Diamonds are very tightly regulated going into the system, and have a load of sinks going out (if STO's dilithium is anything to go by), so it's really not the same thing at all.0 -

I feel players who subscribe to eso plus should be reward for keeping a membership over a certain length of time. Maybe a reward every four months and a mount for a consecutive year.
There were rewards back when it first started.Like the monkey,the ice wraith and the first sensche mount.They were sub rewards. They quit them though.
The monkey wasn't a sub reward, it was a reward you got for participating in one of the Beta tests, can't remember exactly which.
Ahh.You're right in that he wasnt for subbing. I just consider him a reward for being in the first betas,which is why I added him in there.He is just that.A thank you reward.0 -

Your statement is completely I guess you'd call it completely irrelevant. We're not talking about calling ESOs system "loyalty points" it's about what runescape calls their system. Like your entire statement was about people who subscribe to the game aren't anymore loyal than those who didn't because we all paid for the game, now that would make sense if I had said that those who subscribe to ESO are more loyal to zenimax but unfortunately I didn't thus making your statement completely irrelevant.
Sorry to put it a bit harsh but it just makes no sense whatsoever. By the way I believe Runescape is the #1 F2P at-least according to the numerous awards it receives.不動の Steadfast - Unwavering

I am happy to hear this, because some really think that they would be the "better" customers due to them subscribing.0 -

Is that board still active? If so... that's kind of awesome. I didn't start up with ESO until like September 2013...What ESO really needs is an Auction Horse.
That's right... Horse.

I don't have access to it. But, it got mentioned a couple times in the Psijic Role Call thread last summer.0
