Cyanhide✭✭✭SubscriptionSUB, its the only fair gameplay; no matter what those koreans tell you the F2P game a basically a scam. People spend way more in F2P games then just your 15 dollars a month.
I just came from WS, and believe me when I tell you even tho ESO has its major flaws, it is one of the most content full mmo's out there.
Absolutely worth the sub.4 -

NetViperX✭✭✭✭SubscriptionIf its just fluff and vanity items then I see no problem at all. If Zenimax offered a Frog vanity pet I would give them $5 the very day it went up for sale. If they offered Frogs in all three colors for $5 each, thats $15 Zenimax will make off me in one fell swoop. You hear that Zenimax? Give me Frog vanity pets and take my money!!!Edited by ZOS_JoanaL on July 8, 2014 2:05AM3 -
Alephen✭✭✭hmm, EQ wasnt made to make money? blizzard expected to lose money on wow? richard garrett, lord british himself decided to burn through his personal wealth to generously gift us ultima online?
games have always been made to make money.
personally, if they paid us to play, i think subs would increase dramatically.1 -

I am happy because that is what we already have.

Archaole✭✭✭SubscriptionSubs mean they have to keep making new content, and not just in their free time.0

✭✭✭✭✭SubscriptionThey should have a trial version of the game, free to play only on the original starter islands like Khenarthi's Roost; they'll cap out at around level 8 to at most level 9. As a trial version they cannot speak with full version players, open trade, send mail, or do any PvP. It may drive their sales a little better letting people try their game before buying.
PvE dungeon currency would be nice, give a reason to do Dungeons past the first time around for the skill point. Something you can spend on buying superior quality items pre-50 and epic quality 50+ that is shared across the account. They would be something along the lines of unique costumes, necklaces, rings, and upgrade crafting mats.0 -

✭SubscriptionI'll keep paying my sub. If they add vanity pets and whatnot, I'd probably support microtransactions, too.
I really don't want the content support, or lack there of, with any other model.Ruze Aulus. Mayor of Dhalmora. Archer, hunter, assassin. Nightblade.
Gral. Mountain Terror. Barbarian, marauder, murderer. Nightblade.
Na'Djin. Knight-Blade. Knight, vanguard, defender. Nightblade.
XBOX NARuze is a veteran of the PC Beta, lived through the year one drought, survived the buy-to-play conversion, and has stepped foot in the hells known as Craglorn. He mained a nightlbade when nightblades weren't good, and has never worn a robe. He converted from PC during the console betas, and hasn't regretted it a moment since.
He'd rank ESO:TU (in it's current state) a 4.8 out of 5, loving the game almost entirely.
This is an multiplayer game. I should be able to log in, join a dungeon, join a battleground, queue for a dolmen or world boss or delve, teleport in, play for 20 minutes, and not worry about getting kicked, failing to join, having perfect voice coms, or being unable to complete content because someone's lagging behind. Group Finder and matchmaking is broken. Take a note from Destiny and build a system that allows from drop-in/drop-out functionality and quick play.0 -

Micro transactions already exist. The Imperial edition and the other horse you can buy are both micro transactions.1
