LOL Monthly Fee and Micro-transactions?!

On top of that I'm paying a fee for PS+ or XBL!!

BYE! Don't make me laugh.

Maybe they should just lower them monthly fee to maybe $10 or less. Or maybe pay by the quarter like $25/ 3 months. And maybe the more months u pay for the more you save.

Nope just /epic fail

FF14 was set up to fail with their subscription fee too.

With that subscription model, you'd be paying $180/a year just to play one game online on top of the $60 you pay for your LIVE or PS+ subscription. $240/a year is pretty crazy, man. That's not even taking into account the micro-transactions in ESO and the expenses of buying other games in general; however, I suppose if you're going to be paying $180/ a year, then this better be the only game you'll be playing.

Anyways, to answer the original question as to whether or not ESO is set up to fail: On consoles, it's very possible, yes.

I'll still give it a try for like a month to see if the experience is really worth it though.

everyones assuming theres going to be a years worth of content there wont be the ex wow/ddo/lotro guys etc will eat the release content up in a month or two, everyone else maybe six at the very most, and then stop subbing.

anyone considering paying a years worth of sub up front is foolish if they hold out for the first year as subscription ill be surprised, personally i give it nine months max before it goes f2p theres just too many people out there been burned by subscription games before that will be unwilling to commit their money to glitchy patches and slow content roll outs

uhm.. YES

Yep. Waste of dough. Guess Bethesda got it to burn. Call me when they realize what mistake they just did.
