    Well considering that no mmo in the last 5-10 years hasnt gone f2p, it is a reasonable assumption this will as well. How would you like to see it done? Lots of paywalls, or lots of p2w store stuff?

    Oooopsy.....FFXI(Finale Fantasy 11) is still pay to play and its been that way for over 12 years!!!!!!! Now that says something that no other MMO can say. ...

    You are wrong.......DAOC !

    An official apology.
    People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

    There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.

    Help make this compilation complete!

    Ultima Online is also still Pay to Play, IIRC it has been online since 1998 or so.

    I will quit playing ESO the very day it goes F2P, just like I have, indeed, quit every MMO I have played (no matter how much I loved it) that went F2P. The very day. Tired of cheap, spoiled brats ruining perfectly good sub models. Always have been, always will be.

    Keep the game p2p even if there only ever become 10 subs.

    It would be interesting to find out the number of subscriptions below which the threshold for maintaining profitability for ESO would be.

    You have to wonder how many they have left, they wont announce numbers, but if the online sales are any indicator not as well as theyd like.

    OP, you are the reason they won't listen to us. Passive aggressive doom & glooming, nothing constructive, and nothing remotely related to wanting the game to succeed or even a valid issue to be addressed. Stop trying to paint the forums in a worse light, and do something useful. Some of us actually want this to succeed. If this thread had a face, I would punch it.

    You dont have to try to derail the thread because you dont want to discuss the topic.

    Can you please articulate what the topic is? "haha this game will be f2p soon cuz QQ!" is not a topic. If it was the topic, then I addressed it. You can't derail a thread that never was on rails to begin with.

    The number one thing I'd like to see when it goes f2p is all forum moderators fired. I'd like to see them fired before f2p but most likely will only occur after it is f2p.

    Its pretty self-explanatory, What do you want in as a system/design choice if it goes f2p? Not to hard to comprehend that Id think.

    It's high time they put some use to all that money and made a sequel, talk about whipping a dead pony....

    Each time a game goes F2P I leave. If the same thing happened to ESO, I would leave as well and go back to playing Skyrim.


    It's hard enough not to go back now. I've even been considering modding the hell out of Oblivion or Morrowind for a fresh play through.

    That's a bit unfair, I won't use item shops out of principle. Nothing to do with being a free loader. I would say it's more 'the mugs' carry the game...

    Micro transactions = ruined mmo's, if a game can't support it's self with a sub based model then it's pony and trap.

    If they stay on it with consistent updates, we won't see free to play. If they mess up and don't stay updating at least every 4 to 6 weeks, then yes we may see it..I am fully for p2p in the end. Love the game, the series, everything about it. I would like to see werewolf improvements though :3

    ^This.

    I will quit because I know the swarm of horrible community idiocy will destroy the game if it does become F2P. Right now, I know they can fix their mistakes, I know they can fix server lag. Because I pay for it. The moment it goes F2P is the moment all of that 'security' goes out the window and the flood of crap invades.
