Posted this in Gaming but I wrote it in a rush. Putting it in offtopic now with more voting options.
BTW it is not free 2 play in the sense that it is financed by microtransactions. You pay $70 for the disc and then it is free to play online. DLC is another topic.

Edited by Psyntifik: 1/22/2015 6:00:02 PMOnce you get out the free content out of the way, the game becomes locked behind the ESO Plus paywall; essentially making it Pay-to-Play again. You can't maintain and update an MMO without constant money coming in from somewhere. I hope they don't do what Bungie did and limit 10 people to a zone and pretend its open world.
