[prologue]

Everyone on the forums, seems to be discussing the outcome of The Elder Scrolls Online and weather or not it will be successful. chances are you have seen it more than once, and like me, are tired of the conflicting opinions and ideas. I am all for discussion - it's one of the main reasons i am on the forums, however if you dont even like the game, let alone the franchise and all you care about is arguing and being negative, why are you even here? seriously if you dont like the game, hope for its failure and want us all to be disappointed; then by all means get the [censored] off of the forums. nobody, not even Bethesda, wants you here. with all of that said, lets actually get to it.

The Elder Scrolls Online [How to make the game successful]

me personally, i have extreme hopes for TESO. the highest of any game second to star wars: battlefront III. Recently there has been more and more talk, or should i say arguing, about the success of the game. what ZOS should do, what they shouldnt do, what they need to do and what they wont do. yet none of you will stop for a moment and understand that video games, regardless of anything, are meant for the sole purpose that is fun and entertainment. A user by the name of The Elder Fox was right on the money when he commented saying: If the game is fun, imperceptive and enjoyable, gamers will play it. if the game turns out to be clutchy, [censored] itself out for money or become a let down, gamers wont play it. All bets are off for me. I watched what happen to SWOTR, complete disappointment. we can all agree star wars has a broader fan base than the elder scrolls, but even that game failed. Bethesda and ZOS have a lot to live up to, lets hope they dont bight off more than they can chew.

well that's just it. it is nice to see the simplistic understanding of how a game can be successful or not. I agree one hundred percent with what the elder fox had to say. the game will be played nonetheless. if you are upset with the payment method of this game, dont play it. obviously they want us to have the best experience possible, the only way to deliver upon that is to simply get more money, so they can add more to the game and support it as well. however, us gamers aren't ignorant and stupid. look at the COD franchise.. creating a game for money, just for the sake of money, will get absolutely no support from me or any other gamer with common sense.

Lets take a quick look at the history of ES and understand it is one of the most compelling and lore rich games out there, understand that the worlds themselves are among the largest and dare i say most beautiful and understand that they are doing everything in their power to make this game, dare i say, the best ES yet.

Am i saying the game cant fail? no, it most certainly can and that, my fellow users, is what i am afraid of. now i know opinions disagree and vary, but what exsactly do you want from them? they are doing the most and i say patience. as my good ol' master qui gon jinn always said. patience.

comment if you please, discuss what you want and dont want. lets get one thing clear. im buying this game regardless.
