As it stands now, I will not be subbing.

I have a slightly different plan, but for now, I still plan on canceling eventually if things don't change:

The game is in a much better state than AOC, Warhammer or SWTOR were when they saw their release.

Age of Conan had no content after level 30, Warhammer had a slight show due a bugged client that never got fixed and SWTOR was shipped without HD textures and a few weeks later they wiped all the char names too ...

TESO has everything so you can play for many weeks, the graphics are great and it runs very smooth (at least it did before last patch on my rig).

The problems with the retailers and ZO about codes, shipping etc. are unfortunate and a real shame. I am in contact with the customer service since Sunday and hopefully tomorrow when I log in my items are finally there. That said, I got fast replies and at least the last ticket seemed to indicate that help is on the way.

If I will keep my sub? I don't know yet. I definitely want to, but a lot depends on the current situation about the pre order items and if a content patch will be announced.

Why those two things?

1. If they can solve the problem then it shows me they care. Its not even their fault, but they still try to help and this counts a lot in my books.

2. Content patches usually show a direction for the game. I am not a hardcore raider anymore, so for me its important that stuff like a thieves guild, maybe new crafts or public group quest´s are also coming and not just raids for premades like at wow.

I played SWTOR on day one and it was nearly flawless for me. Far ahead of the launch of ESO in every way. I didn't trip over broken quests and bad combat lag.

Rift was pretty good too. Almost as much as SWTOR.

The only thing worse about WoW at launch was the database bugs that made looting take forever at times, and it did have some down time.. But combining all 3 of those MMOs, none comes close to ESO with the number of broken quests, glitchy character skills, and combat lag.

I have been playing since five day early access opening hour, yet to see a single buggy quest, glitchy skills or the like. In fact if I didn't come to the forums I wouldn't know about any of that. Does the game have strange lag issues every now and again, of course, most launching MMO's have that.

The point is not everyone's gaming experience is the same for everyone, and its hardly a sign of their quality or longevity. EG have to say SWTOR was way worse for me, Rift was amazingly stable. WoW was ghastly and EQ2 was unsatisfying temperamental to say the least. Yet strange I went on to play EQ2 for 10 years solid. Best gaming experience ever, but if I judged on those first four days I physically couldn't played, I would have missed out of 10 years of massive fun.

I must admit I love the topic here. It really brings up the issue that applies to any future of that game and that is:
"How many peaople will be still playing it?"
Couse with no players there's no game.
I can speak for myself that I really intend to stay here with the game couse I just enjoy it most of any MMOs I've played. Despite the ahead charging which kinda moves me most I still do.
Considering there'll be the community to play with...

Will I continue my subscription??

Well, I have to subscribe first..

I currently have two Imperial Editions in a retail box sitting the closet gather dust.. One of which is still factory sealed, neither of which has had their codes used..

The website security has left me with doubts about whether or not I should add a credit card to my account to pay for a sub.. I had planned on using time cards to pay for my sub, but so far, I can't find a single retailer that can sells the physical cards.. Emailed codes are no bueno in my book.. I need to have some legal recourse if the code that I paid for does not work, or the ability to get support from Bethesda or Zenimax..

So, my Imperial Editions sit and my wife and I don't play.. Because someone in their infinite wisdom didn't take into consideration that the time cards would not be AVAILABLE at launch.. This demand to pay for or setup a subscription in order to utilize the 30 days that came with my game is a very poor business practice that needs to change.. Let me have my 30 days and then decide if I want Zenimax and Bethesda to be the proud owners of all my payment and billing information.. At least then I could be happily playing while you all sort out the time card issue.. Otherwise, I will continue to wait..

Wait for some response from someone from Bethesda or Zinemax about these issues.. When are the time cards going to reach market?? Are we going to be able to use our 30 days without having setup a subscription??

Now about that part about continuing my subscription?? It is hard to continue something that hasn't started.. At this point I may cut my losses and sell my games on Ebay or something..

So when is the next Skyrim?? I at least got to play that game..

My pal's just bought the card yesterday both with the early edition game nearly twice cheaper then I'd done subscribing the game smth like a month ago. "Supporting the game": I say, that's what I did.
Anyway, game time cards are here in Poland already.

I'll give a chance to this game because it deserves it a lot. So I will subscribe.

With a huge projects like this is normal that you have many sort of problems or errors. Technically speaking, is almost impossible to deliver project without any errors so please be patient as I'm sure they are working hard to figure it out.

For those who wanted perfect smooth game ... sorry guys it is NOT POSSIBLE. You will have always bugs of any kind as players will progress thorough the system of this game. So be patient it will be less and less bugs in the future. It is just first week of the game anyway.

For those who are waiting for customer support replies any minute. Sorry for you guys too, but reading thru piles of tickets is not a fun as playing the game, especially when 80% are just irrelevant entries from customers. On the other hand, Zenimax should fix this as well as they might consider to put more effort to help players, especially with several payment or login issues.

To conclude with, I won't regret any cent or second I spent on this game.

Thanks guys and good luck with this game.

Looking to resub , aside from bugs and glitces I am happy with the game .

I get charged far too much to travel anywhere

I'm not sure if you realize this, but travelling is free if you initiate the travel at a shrine. It only costs gold if you initiate the travel in the middle of nowhere. So if you want to save gold, just walk to the nearest shrine first and click on it.

Normal MMO launch.

Played most of AAA MMO-s in last 8 years on launch day, this is no different. I would say its surprisingly free of bugs compared to other MMO-s ( including WOW that was essentially broken for more then a month and had lag issues for more then 6 months after launch ).

The game is good, damn good in fact. Bugs are being ironed out, as they allways are. Devs are on the ball it seems, support is OK ( wouldn't go past that ), business side is, as allways, horrible.

Problems like - I didn't get my pet are not really problems, its just people being drama queens.

So, yes, I will stay subed. Good game, lots of fun and definitely better then othr AAA MMO-s out there ( and yes I did actually play all of them ).

I do understand some people are having a hard time accepting this is not F2P game, but some people have a hard time accepting sun not revolving around earth.

Really looking forward to future with ESO.

I'll sub as long as I can log in a bit every day. If for whatever reason I start to get plagued by issues like some have then I will reasses my situation but I'll probably still sub just to give zenimax some extra capital for a game I love. If ESO doesn't fix major issues or improve the game within 3 months then I will leave until things get better.

Well, I already extended my sub to 90 days as soon as time cards were available.

Not bugs concern me tho, but customer support. I understand it's harsh start, and thousands of whinners and such stuff, but waiting almost 3 days for answer to a simple question is just wrong.

I could read in some discussion earlier something about that in sub games you get "premium experience" and it's "AAA title". Don't feel any of it that much now, but still want to give it a chance.

I have enjoyed my time in ESO so far. I will be subbing, ESO is my game of choice at this time. Like many I have played multiple mmos, the launch for me has been fine, nothing unexpected.

I think one of the major issues with launches these days is that the player base for an mmo is much more informed/experienced. Therefore there is a higher standard expected at launch compared to when the likes of when EQ, EQ2 or even when WoW launched. Combine that with a myriad of options in regards to game options available and it doesn't take much for players to move on and look for something with greener grass.

In my opinion the best thing to do if you're dissatisfied with the current state of ESO is either to continue to support and to continue to provide feedback or to not sub and move on for a time and come back in 6 months.

I do think though it is a little premature to be throwing in the towel this early on, but again that is my opinion. Stay or leave? Neither of those is really a wrong decision. Make a decision and go with it. Can always change your mind later on.

I will support ESO for now!

I'll buy my next 30 days because I have to if I want to use my first 30 days, seeing as how I prefer using a Game Time Card. I do plan to wait a bit before actually buying the card, though, partly because I haven't seen one as of yet and partly because I might as well save my 60 days until I have more free time than I do now. The initial excitement cooled with the enforced wait, which is probably not in Zenimax's favor, but we'll see once I get back into the game; the Early Access was pretty good.

They dont actually charge your CC as far as I am aware? So you dont have to pay to make use of the 30 days. At least I have not been charged.

I feel badly for the people who are having troubles, but for me, this launch has been the smoothest launch since LOTRO. I had some verify-redownload issues with patch 1.01 but other than that, nothing. The only bug I thought I had was my own fault because I didn't realize I needed to actually wear the disguise to get into a castle... once I figured that out, I was golden - but again my bad not theirs.

As for this thread, really I wonder why people are posting in it that plan to resub because the guy was trolling for people who didn't want to resub and with the title and the number of replies its deceptive at least.

Personally, i posted in this thread because the OP left the door open asking for opinions from both groups, the ppl planning to resub and those planning not to.
