The Elder Scrolls franchise stands among the most venerated game series ever. For almost twenty years, the various games have offered players tremendous roleplaying experiences. When Bethesda announced Elder Scrolls Online, fans wondered if the magic of the single-player games would be captured. Since then, MMO-Play kept abreast of the developments of this mmorpg and this is why you should be looking forward to Elder Scrolls Online.

A new age for The Elder Scrolls Online is about to begin!
You make good points, but there is the one glaring counter point. Subscription fee. Most people I know ( and judging from what I read on the net) won't pay a subscription fee to play ESO. That right there will have a knock-on effect on the future and sustainability of the game.
And all that for the generous price of $240 for the first year and $180 for every year after that plus micro transactions. I DON'T THINK SO. What s shame, I was so looking forward to this game. I'm willing to pay $60 a year pass for everything expansions and micro transactions . No more than that.
The game sounds good but the price is ridiculous. $60 for the game and then $15 for every month after that plus an in game micro transaction store? Lets just be real here that comes to $240. That is literally the price of 4 games. Actually I've pre order both AC4 black flag limited edition plus watch dogs limited edition. That would pay off both of those games.
The price is just too ridiculous to justify that price point.
I would be looking forward to ESO, but they ruined it with subscription talk. Call me when it goes Free to Play, which it will within two years if not sooner.
Look, I love the elder scrolls franchise and all of its games, but...the sub fee on top of the normal retail price is just asking too much.
I'm not made of money. But I'm sure there are plenty of other people who can pay for it.
