$25 for IC DLC: Fair or Overpriced?

I know it's a little early to tell but is the current price at 2,500 crowns or $24.99 for 3000 Crowns fair for the IC DLC. What are your thoughts? I personally feel a $15/1,500 crowns price tag better suits the content.

Pangnirtung✭✭✭✭✭FairMy crown credit for subscribing for a few months (and I unsubbed in September) more than covers the cost of the DLC.
I see that as being fair.2 -

whyB✭✭✭FairSeems way more expansive than other games DLC. This is more an expansion pack than DLC and expansion packs used to cost ~$40. I think this price is better than I had expected ($35/40)6 -

Way ahead of you. Don't mistake my boredom at work for support of the game.
I'm just mad that a game that had so much potential in beta has slowly been moving towards "just another F2P MMO" over the past year. People eating whatever they are fed without question just grinds my gears.Edited by Sallington on July 15, 2015 3:19PMDaggerfall Covenant

This has been going on for a long while, long long while. I remember when WoW dropped in 2004 and you could platform into the zones that didnt get opened up until 3 expansions later. I just think some players havent realized this until the past few years.Guildmaster - Order of Stendarr [XB1] - Apply today!

You don't have to pay to use the content of any DLC as long as you stay subbed.No option for "I subbed a year and still have to pay!?"
AND you could buy any DLC with the Crowns you've earned through subbing... so, where's the problem?

Hope499✭✭✭✭FairI remember when Shivering Isles was $40.
At that time, $40 was INSANE for a DLC, completely unheard of....
You know what? Worth every, single damn penny.
Hell, Destiny DLC is going to be $40 in Sep....
I say we be happy for this price....$25 is nothing.Tripped over my friends bra.....

I'm going to use the crowns I got in the TU conversion (which I have not spent on pretty mounts), so I'm essentially getting it for free. Of course, I only have to do this if I decide to unsub.The Moot Councillor1 -
r.jan_emailb16_ESO✭✭✭✭✭OverpricedConsidering they announced it last year and they said they will have 3-4 DLCs each year, it's a bit too much. Still have crowns from the ESO:TU change, though, so I don't have to pay for it

✭Still deciding.
Warlords of Draenor: $50
- 8 zones
- 10 level increase
- 10+ instances/raids (11 now with a patch - for free)
- New gameplay (Strongholds)
Imperial City: $25
- 1 zone split in to 6 districts
- 2 level increase
- 3 dungeons (1 pvp, 2 pve)
Not including the crafting and stuff since, though WoD has more, I weigh it as equal since it's not something really "to do".3 -

Considering that it is included in the TU subscription I can only infer that you dont currently pay that?
Therefore- You mean you want it all but it has to be free?
- You want to log on, but want someone else to pick up the tab?
- I dont want people like you to live on this plantet any more.

"just another F2P MMO" - is defined by the MMO's content, not it's revenue model. And viewed from a content point of view, ESO is hardly " just another F2P MMO" - else you'd be whining there, and not here, as it's just as free. (Not to mention in any event it's B2P, not F2P.)
Games like ESO and GW2 are far more than your standard F2P MMO fare out there. So you're mad about having to pay for additional content - hyperbole does nothing to help your argument over the revenue model.2 -

✭✭✭✭OverpricedI would say this expansion is worth closer to 15 dollars then the 25 bucks itll ultimately cost you. 20 bucks for the actual expansion and the extra 500 Crowns that will sit in your account until you either buy more Crowns or buy a useless pet.Penniless Sellsword CompanyCaptain Paramount - Jorrhaq VhentKorith Eaglecry * Enrerion Aedihle * Laerinel Rhaev * Caius Berilius * Seylina Ithvala * H'Vak the GrimjawlTenarei Rhaev * Dazsh Ro Khar * Yynril Rothvani * Bathes-In-Coin * Anaelle Faerniil * Azjani Ma'LesAban Shahid Bakr * Kheshna gra-Gharbuk * Gallisten Bondurant * Etain Maquier * Atsu Kalame * Faulpia SeverinusWhat is better, to be born good, or to overcome your evil nature through great effort? - Paarthurnax1 -

Considering the cost of other crown store items, 25 is not that bad. Particularly for anyone that has been smart enough to save up any accrued crowns from being a former subscriber.V16 Uriel Stormblessed EP Magicka Templar(main)
