dscount Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Nice.. I can go back to feeding my horse now for free. LOL March 17th, 2015 I was wondering how they would do the whole SUB thing with consoles and make it work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daewan Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I'm personally thrilled because I completed all of my research before my sub expired ages ago. So when I return in March, I can get right back to crafting! Edited January 21, 2015 by Daewan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 B2P, not F2P. That's funny, because everyone still refers to GW2 as "F2P" and not "B2P". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyinSpaghetti Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 My biggest issue with ESO was the extreme lack of solo daily content at endgame, don't get me wrong I like to group in MMO's and my main focus in swtor is raiding however what they done in ESO was make every quest and the entire map a H4 and have absolutely no solo content past VR10. Also the balancing between classes/builds/weapon/armor types means unless you stick to strict cookie cutter builds (i.e. dress and a stick) then you can pretty much say goodbye to raiding at endgame. At least in swtor you can pick any discipline and while some are stronger than others you're not going to be a dead weight based on your discipline choice.

Heat-Wave Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Yup... I called it at launch. I said "6 months to a year"... Guess I was right. I remember that post, you did say that... And yes, you were right... I might give it a try, if I can try it out for free... if it is worth playing, I'll sub... I'm happy to support a good game... If it isn't worth subbing, then I won't stay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joesixxpack Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I'd guessed ESO would have been sub for a long while; until I played the beta and figured that 1 yr would be a surprise. Edited January 21, 2015 by Joesixxpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDymond Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) That's funny, because everyone still refers to GW2 as "F2P" and not "B2P". Definitional issue, some people divide all MMOs into two categories: Subscription Games and Non-Subscription Games, and often shorthand Non-Subscription Games as F2P for the sake of that distinction. Others get more in-depth/specific and include classifications like B2P, etc. Edited January 21, 2015 by DarthDymond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I heard they are gearing up WS to launch in China. Their salvation plan is not F2P but rather suckering the Asians into playing their boring grindy game.

Jeweledleah Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I came to see if there was gloating... and I was not disappointed. that said.... I'm actualy kinda happy that they are not only going with buy to play model, but also going with Secret world rather then SWTOR subscription/non subscription model. was actualy trying to decide last few days if I should resub to ESO for a bit. now? I won't need to unless I decide I want to after playing on March 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vadess Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Gawd ,WS is just so freaking horrible.... Agreed. I tried to get into it but it just took so long to level up. Not to mention how confusing it was to figure out which quests I needed to go on. And the graphics could have been done better... Interesting story idea and gaming concepts that could have been executed better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanceCorporalDan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Knew they would since playing beta. Guess I'll have another game to fool around in when I'm bored here. Yay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
