We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available.
Can see why ESO's price dropped so dramatically

Regular disconnects, lag and non regular patches isn't good for product sales. I mean there's still bugs and glitches still around that have been around since day 1

✭The base game cost doesn't matter when the goal is to get you to make purchases once you are in the game.1 -

Taternater✭✭✭This is entirely off-topic, but Zenimax has been sueing Facebook-owned Occulus since 2014 and Mark Zuckerberg took the stand and testified for the first time I think just a few days ago.1 -

@Libonotus This is the answer. ^^^^^
The base cost is merely to serve as a gate for F2P players and works well compared to when SWTOR went to the Sub/F2P model vs what ESO has.1 -

✭✭✭✭✭The game is having issues because of DDoS attacks nearly every day for the last week.
ZoS cant control those well. They can only try to block when it happens. Im sure the IPs change and it happens again.
The game is going on 3 years. Every game out there has a drop in the box price by now.Beta tester November 20132 -

Blizzard made $250 million last year off its Battle.net shop. That doesn't include any subs from WoW, only real cash purchases for ingame vanity items like battle pets, mounts, transmog gear, and some other purchases for Hearthstone cards and such. Obviously the cash stores and a F2P system done right can be enormously lucrative for a gaming company. Say what you will about the Crown Store, but ESO has probably made a ton of money off of it, more than they would have from subs alone, I'd wager.1 -
