      I forgot about it but was also too busy to even get good beta time if i would've been accepted. Signed up and hope they have another beta round during thanksgiving break.

          Its starting out monthly, but will go F2P fairly quickly in my opinion and be supported via a cash shop.

            Woah, I never said I was in it, that would break the NDA

            From what I can tell, their plan is $15 a month after a retail boxed purchase. That's something I have never, and will never, do. I have a sort of philosophical aversion to paying money for a game that I then have to pay to play.

                I'm the opposite and I've always explained this theory to friends and they think I am crazy but hear me out. Whenever I buy a new MMO I am buying the game and the month sub. I know on that month I will be playing that game and only that game so I won't spend anything else because that money will be committed. If I reup for another month (or more) then that is my gaming money. $15 a month for me is great considering some months I go into the hundreds rather easily.

                I use to play WoW for about a year straight. Best idea ever for my budget!

                I'm hoping I enjoy ESO the same. Will save a ton!

                  I was this way before, but the fact that I usually buy a new arcade game every month, i'd rather play ESO. What did everyone think of the beta? I missed out on it even though I had an invite...

                    I'm the same. Before I got into the MMO scene I was dead set against paying for the box and then paying a monthly sub on top of that, after playing Shadowbane years ago I learned how good of a deal it is to spend that $15 a month for something that occupies so much of my gaming time.

                    I definitely like it over the cash shop models that have been hitting the market lately. I would rather pay a flat fee and have access to all content rather than a Pay-to-win model that some cash shops enforce.

                            I have no idea what their budget is (rumored $200 million, unsubstantiated), what their investment situation looks like (in terms of 'break even' numbers or how fast they'll be looking for a return on investment) or the business side of things...

                            But this seems to me that it will be an MMO that will go free-to-play within a short timeframe... and that is NOT a compliment.

                              This will be worse than the SWTOR. I cant even think of anything they can offer on the F2P front that will get people to spend money on it. Once NDA drops and everyone can post opinions and videos, box sales will plummet.

                              Their best bet is to stop with all the beta keys going out, and release so that the uninformed can rush out to buy the game before the word gets out.

                              It will capture a lot of box sales based off of the name, but that's as far as it will go. Negative word of mouth will tank this game hard.
