In terms of monthly payments. As bethesda should see all recent monthly payment mmo's failed. Only ones left are wow and tera which will likely eventually go f2p.

I would like to see gw2 type way pay 60$ for game get it all free and add stuff in game that costs money.

I would prefer a monthly sub. If it is good then it won't fail... if it is bad then F2P will happen sometime.

Monthly subs generally lead to more new content/expanisions at a quicker pace then F2P games.

Bethesda isn't developing this, Zenimax Online Studios is.

But on topic now: I agree with Adoring Fan. P2P model games seem to have better maintanence and faster content delivery. I would prefer TESO to follow the P2P model.

There's already a thread discussing possible business models for TESO. http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1398046-free-free-to-play-or-subscription/

Every game MMO fails if you havent noticed so does GW2 too. (Man it looks like Justin Bieber's face, something you want to punch hard..)

Im sure they can ask sub fee and even add shop and they still sell lots lots of copies. If they really want to make profit, promise one big content patch (zone, couple raid, dungeon, new pvp, new monters) to get 3 month sub plans, release it soon after second month subs end, and for those who pick 6 month give them some cool mount, title, maybe some exclusive in-game armor.

Its gonna be hard after Titan for other devs. They really need to do something big, something universal like music, pick one genre and make an MMO out of it, or comedy, (World of Jokes) come on, who doesnt want to laugh or like comedy. Something what connects players alot better than Fantasy or Star Wars, dont know if they can honestly do anything anymore.
