B2P but close enough.

P2W.

Yeah well the difference isn't THAT big... Oh well... Guess I'll stick around for the time being, but we'll see for how long

Some will say that it has been headed that way all the time... :P Or at least for the past few months

I love all the people defending this with "it's B2P, not F2P". There is no substantive difference.

Yea. It's going there. Fun times eh?

Basically, if I read the announcement right, you can keep your sub and not have to "pay extra" for new content, and your sub also gets you monthly credits to be used in the cash shop for vanity items and basic thinks like soul gems and health potions.

Lol. Crap! You quoted me before I changed it. It's F*** My Life.

It doesn't reflect my feelings I just thought the three letter acronyms were funny and thought I'd add to them.

I didn't see where they said soul gems and health potions.

If you have time remaining on your game subscription at the launch of The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, you’ll automatically be enrolled as an ESO Plus premium member for the remainder of your game subscription period. You’ll get all the benefits of membership during that time, including your full allotment of crowns (the new digital currency used in our Crown Store). If you already have recurring payment set up, you won’t need to do anything if you wish to continue on as an ESO Plus member; it’ll all happen automatically. If you do not wish to keep recurring payments, you may change this option in your account page.

So, what do you get as an ESO Plus member? Let’s go over the benefits:
An allotment of crowns to spend in the new in-game Crown Store based on your membership period (more below)

Access to all of ESO’s downloadable content (or DLC) game packs for the duration of your membership

A 10% bonus to XP and gold gain, crafting research, and inspiration

Memberships to ESO Plus can be purchased in 30-, 90-, and 180-day durations starting at €12,99 / £8.99 for a 30-day period. When you sign up for ESO Plus, you’ll receive your full allotment of crowns right away (1500 for 30 days, 4500 for 90 days, or 9000 for 180 days). If you purchase a recurring membership, you’ll receive a full allotment of crowns at the start of each 30-/90-/180-day membership period. You can spend crowns in the in-game Crown Store to get unique mounts, special vanity pets, a variety of fun costumes for your character, and convenience items like health potions and soul gems.

While you’re a member, you’ll enjoy faster progression thanks to the helpful buffs to XP, gold, and crafting, and you’ll be able to access any DLC game pack that’s available. If your membership ends, you’ll still be able to play ESO (and keep any items and rewards you earned playing within DLC), but you won’t be able to access DLC game pack content that you haven’t purchased separately.
