Mine was around $600-$700 before I got into trading. Would be helpful if you could provide your receipt! (sensitive info redacted of course)

    Hmm. Original game on disc in 2016 ($20?). A month or two of ESO+($15-30). A 3k crown pack during 2017 Black Friday ($16). And Summerset pre-order w/free Morrowind ($40?)

    Something like that.

    It isn't anyone's business what I or anyone else does with our discretionary money.

    Kind of an odd question to ask, why does it matter what someone spends or doesnt spend on this game?

    Over 3 years. Worth infinitely more than money.

    Too much. Far, far too much. I naively believed I was "supporting the game" for a few years until I wised up.

    Preordered the game back in 2015. Picked up Summerset package. Have ESO +. Have thoroughly enjoyed the game until the stuttering bugs, extended maintenance times, and invisible bosses began back in 2020. Looking at moving over to another game.

    In total of the last 7 years, probably a little more than you, I'd say below $1,000 in total. I sub 1 to 3 months at the most in any given year, generally not in consecutive months its spread out. I limit myself to one crown pack per discounted sale, that's usually like 1 to 2 times a year. Some years I haven't spent any money on the game and ride on the free trial weeks.

    Enough for at least a quarter the price of one new server maybe?

    Agreed. Seems even stranger that he/she asks for receipts as well. Would've been a little better if OP had made a poll post instead. Still no one's business what anyone spends though.

    These kinds of questions are annoying and reminds me of the questions that end surveys , age, income, race, gender. Nonya!

    Just over £300 according to the account page, and adding on the £12 I paid for the base game originally. (That's about $400 USD.)

    Considering I've been playing for just over 6 years I'm ok with that. (The exact amount works out to £4.54 per month, and that's including the cost of buying the expansions.)

    The OP was inquiring earlier how to get a refund for Blackwood. I can only assume why he may want receipts.

    A bit over the past 6 years. And, I felt it was worth it. 2019 I let it lapse because the gameplay got so bad - invisible bosses and staves not firing - but renewed during the free ESO+ play last year. But didn't renew it last week when the 12 hour maintenance happened because I wondered if Microsoft is pulling some strings regarding the PS console players.

    Meh, base game+eso plus+chapters, whatever that adds up to(DLC bought with ESO+ crowns)...still far cheaper than buying a new game each month, playing it for 40 hours, the repeating the process. I don't spend any money on crowns beyond what comes with ESO plus, and I don't care enough to spend only gold to buy crowns to buy content, though its easily possible for people to be into the game for only the cost of the base game with all content unlocked if they did care.

    Gold edition back in 2017 - 60 bucks. Summerset (included morrowind) - 40. Elsweyr - 40. Greymoor - 40. Haven't bought new chapter yet. I refuse to pay for eso+. I buy all dlc with gold. I love the game but am frugal.
