    As far as I'm concerned, they were already free-to-play. The only playing I managed to do was while they didn't have any of my money. Now that I'm all ready to give them money no one can tell me if my pre-order will even show up...

    I actually made a bet with my guild when we would see the first "genius" make this post. I lost I thought it would be sooner. Seems like the basement trolls are a little later this time.

    Well seeing as the "surcharge issue" is all over the internet, Kotaku...Joystiq, ETC. The P2P model isn't looking good.

    Don't believe me? Google it.

    No you don't need to setup Credit Card, Paypal, or whatever subscription setup you need to get your Free 30 Days.

    PM one of Zenimax CS around this forum, they will give you 1 Day Compensation key or something. With that key, you should be able to redeem your game key without having to setup your subscription, voila you will have your free 30 days. ZOS_ChesterN sorted it out for me.

    I feel it will come down to how good the new content is and time between updates. I hope the new content will be harder because so far eso hasn't been challenging in the least. And I need a constant challenge to keep playing.

    What he said. It is up to Zenimax to continue to create and release enough content to make the sub worth it. As it stands now, this is more than worth what I paid for the game and a month of sub time. For sure one of the best MMO's I've played and I constantly get a nice tingly feeling that tells me "man, this is so much fun" as I go through the game. Tons of potential, and I hope Zeni continues to create this sense of value.

    Edit: Now they just need fix this whole getting people subbed and able to play issue. The fact I have to wait until Wednesday to play the game I pre-ordered is *** stupid. I wanted to get the best edition out, and that was the retail Imperial Edition. Due to that choice, my shipping is delayed until Wednesday, and now due to Zeni requiring registration and card information to continue playing, I'm *** out of luck for 3 days.

    Why do you think it will go F2P at all? As much as I hate to reference it, the biggest (as in most successful) MMO out there still is not F2P, and ESO beats the hell out of World of Warcrap. It has a fresh way of doing everything from questing to crafting. I think it will be the game other companies try to imitate for years to come.

    Because they're already doing things that are turning potential players away from the game, such as the full amount authorizations and not giving people the free month promised with purchase.

    I think you are right ESO is a really good game and a love it, but i think the people that are making bussiness decision are not really thinking in the right way. My thought are that if you have a business always try to make customers happy, else you will die.

    Yes it's kind of a troll xD i really hope this game doesn't go ftp but i thinks the business part is really damaging the game and its potential.

    The game launched with a chat shop. Of officer chat for guilds; our banks keep emptying; guild stores are missing a few search tools and some filters don't work; there's really only like, what, 6 total in game channels?

    But the cash shop works. Or, does it? Anyone bought a Palamino? :)

    Who knows , since this game did not sell , or atleast i did not see life subs going around , maybe sooner than an year even.

    Still , it is all a guess for now , in 3/4 months we will see where the population still stands.

    Tell me about it, my Gamestop didn't even have a midnight release for ESO....BUT YET I'm betting they will have one for both Wildstar and Warlords of Draenor later on this year. Hell, I'm sitting on the forums right now keeping an eye on some threads. Still deciding if I should give Zenimax my money next week in spite of all the uproar.

    probably the end of the month by the way they have handled the release. the game itsself has a lot of potential, its an awesome game. the business side of things though has fallen through so badly, it hurts.

    It needs to be FTP for at least an extra month for those poor folks who were supportive enough of the idea to purchase the physical CE, only to be gypped out of days of play time.
    This is all part of the game.

    It's blunders like this (and the failure to rectify the issue in a timely manner) which can sink a ship before it makes it out of port.

    It's sad to see the game fall down like this.
