So it's finally been confirmed. ESO will have a subscription.

• 30-Day Free Time when you purchase the game, and then a monthly fee to play.
• $14.00 / €12.99 / ￡8.99 per month.
• Discounts for setting up multiple months at a time.
• Game card support.
• Promise: new content every 4-6 weeks.

Hello.

Personally, I'm really interested in the frequent content updates they promised. That's almost as fast as Guild Wars 2!

Good news to wake up to.

Ok so where do I give them my money?

I'm pleased they don't want a game where buy buy buy is shoved in your face ruining immersion all the time (like LOTRO much to the dislike of every player).

I'm curious though as to just how essential to gameplay the other "premium" stuff that you can buy outside the subscription will be. I'd rather know some more about this before I lower my eyebrows.

Horray! Take my money, take it! Just let me play! Haha

saw this coming a mile away. good news imo

It was always set in stone that ESO will be P2P IMO, but good to finally have it confirmed

But wait, this means an end to the neverending subscription discussion treads here on the forums

No, they'll just become 'When will ESO go Free-to-play?" Instead.

Probably from the same people who keep posting that the game will fail because it doesn't meet their narrow minded vision of what they think the game should be.

As for me, my issue is simply that I loath to pay a subscription UNLESS that promise of new content every 4-6 weeks holds out. There also needs to be enough base content to start with as well.

Not like STO, where you could literally blow through all the base content in about two week back when the game first launched with a sub.

Thank god.

This news coming in at almost 5am? Damn

i am sure we will get plenty of complaining

What do you mean? It's midday here in the civilized country.

YES! To all the B2Pers and F2Pers in all the forum arguments: BURN!

Although, just to point out. Those that think a subscription fee will block trolls, spawn campers, gold sellers, spammers, l337 kids and general numptys.

Prepare for a rude awakening. They always seem to find a way, regardless of the game type.

Don't think anyone was expecting that.

At least I didn't. I'm old enough gamer to know how things work. That's why we will most likely have "report spam" button.

That doesn't make them go away but let's hope Zenimax offers a real premium service that includes really taking care of reported spam.

Actually, some of the previous threads contained posts along the lines of...

"....A subscription fee keeps away the spammers and gold sellers'

"...A sub would keep out the riffraff'

The problem is, since each player in a sub based game is a sure source of income. Sub based games have been lax in dealing with those types in the past. Hopefully, Zenimax will weigh up the sub paid by a goldseller against the subs lost when five players quite in frustration and deal accordingly.

What Country is that? I live in VA so about to be bed time for me lol

This definitely ISN'T one of the P2P perks. For every kid that can't afford it, there's 100 more whose parents will pay it for them.

Yeah, definitely not telling you and definitely not telling to read the text below my avatar...
