Christley </3 Peelz Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 then id rather just play a f2p game and pay microtransactions for everything and be best. thats cheaper in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrocide Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 I can understand a subscription to a point. But then i look at GW & GW2, still going strong without a sub i laugh at P2P models. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. GW2 and GW show how ridiculous Pay 2 Play models are, and the only excuse left is: "but you get free new content" 1) it's not free 2) $15 per month? no.

dabaers Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Isnt the new Elder Scrolls doing $15 a month? (Still buying it :3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nietzsche Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 New elder scrolls is doing: $60 initial purchase $15 per month In Game Purchase Non-disclosure agreement ties my hands with regards to details I can give about why it's not looking likely to be worth it. Suffice it to say that I can get a lot more out of $300 next year than a WoW clone with a copy-pasted logo from a respectable brand plastered on top of it.

Christley </3 Peelz Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Isnt the new Elder Scrolls doing $15 a month? (Still buying it :3) eso will be b2p, p2p and microtransactions all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meltron Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Yeah, most mmorpgs have p2p, f2p with some restrictions and items stores all at once I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted December 19, 2013 Author Share Posted December 19, 2013 Isnt the new Elder Scrolls doing $15 a month? (Still buying it :3) Have you tried it yet? I did the beta, it's literally the worst game I have ever played. If you're expecting it to be ANYTHING like Skyrim, well, don't. I loved Skyrim, I liked Guild Wars 2, I despised ESO.

dabaers Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Oh god I didn't look into the pricing and didn't even know it had a beta. I guess Ill rethink, haven't looked at it since a month ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 No idea why anyone is talking about the Elder Scrolls. It's going to be a bigger flop than SW:TOR, don't any of you read? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professional Map Painter Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 By the looks of it, War Thunder after update 1.37 turned into a Pay 2 Win game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjjon123 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I remember when runescape was 5$ a month. That was when it was good. I never got to play P2P until after playing it for a year or two, it was fun, but I wish I had played as p2p in its golden age (RS2 to GE) Now its just utterly bastardized and sensualized.

Liddojunior Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I say some mmos are worth paying monthly. But i wouldn't do it, as i wouldn't want money being dropped continually into a game. Reason i'm not playing FFIV right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Engi Desu Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Well, I used to play games like Maplestory and Mabinogi that heavily rolled on the P2W system for F2P. I remember spending $30 a month on Mabinogi on rebirths and premium service. Thank goodness I was too young for debit cards when I was playing Maplestory, because holy fuck... I remember people spending up to $200 a month on Gachapon (pretty much the equilivent to crates you non-weeaboo players) on Maplestory. And you wonder how Nexon gets away with their shitty server and clients... Anywho. There are some F2P games that don't require you to pay money, but there are some games that if you don't pay for it, then you're really fucked in the ass with limited gameplay. If anything, I would pay for the $15/month Elit Service fee on Tera Online, since that shit pays for itself (with the package it gives) and it has useful game features.

The problem with ESO is that its a B2P, P2P and P2W. Zeni is going to run the ES series into the ground with this game that isnt even like the single player RPG we all know and some love.
