Why chapters are nails in the coffin of ESO

I would have hoped the fact that the last post on the thread before yours was from June 2017 would have clued you in to how useless it was.

Nice Necro, buddy. Please don't encourage Mannimarco any further.

If you think this game is dying, clearly you haven't been to alik'r.

Well, there's actually a medical term for what happens there:

Ahhhh... I remember these kind of posts when The Burning Crusade launched on World of Warcraft. In all honesty the Morrowind chapter does bring alot more gameplay time then any of the other DLC's. As why i treat it more like an expansion or a chapter in ZOS's case. Which is not considered a story addon like The Dark Brotherhood. But an entire new chapter on the base game.

Also in my honest opinion it is too soon to call out the in 2 years people wont be handling to pay it because the price will be too high.

(1 The game does not force you to buy the expansion to progress any further (excluding raids).
(2 World of Warcraft had dat exclusion and pay wall and actually turned out fine in their business model even though they charges full price for their expansion.

I do know where you are coming from thouh but imo this is just doom thoughts. Lets just wait and see what ZOS has up their sleeves to solve a potential problem like this.

Totally agree with this. We have no idea what they have planned so we cant make a judgement call on how things will play out.

What Zos could also eventually do if the paywall gets to steep is do exactly what Blizzard did and make the "base game" include really old expansions/chapters to help lower the paywall of incoming players.

Since it was resurrected...

* Every MMO ive played was dying.
* Most are still going.
* The increasing cost of expansions plus game sub seems to of worked out really well for Blizzard.
* As the game adds more expansions, the cost per expansion becomes cheaper. For example, a couple of months ago i got the entire game for under $50. That was probably the price of Morrowind when it came out.

As Meridia once told the Souless One: You are mortal. You began to die the moment you were born.

So technically, everyone and everything that is living is simultaneously dying.

Gogo necro power! As it turns out, these nails in this coffin were made of money!

Maybe necromancy is coming after all, given the rise in undead threads!

They could do it like WoW does: the newest expansion grants success to all previous expansions.

So if you buy Chapter II you can play Chapter I as well.

Since this thread is rather old, we will be closing it down. Thank you for your understanding.
