At what subscription rate would make you want to play ESO?

I would prefer just a Buy it then Play it model. I don't want to deal with monthly subscriptions - that's 120$ per year if it was at 10$ (and we know it's not going to be that low). With 120$ I could get myself a new computer part or some other electronic device for Christmas. Skyrim was worth the purchase, but it would sure as hell not be worth a monthly subscription if it had multiplayer.

Even F2P/P2W would be fine by me as I would like to try the game out, where in the future I can consider whether or not I would want to pay for ingame currency for exclusive benefits.

 

I personally would say no more then $10 that's my limit personally I usually play F2P games, but that's out of the question.

 

$0. That's it, to me it's not about the money, even the $15 is not much when you think about what you are getting: a whole month of entertainment.

I'm just against the idea of subscription fees so I will not be supporting games which decide to use them.

 

I think subscription fees are just the way that all media is going. It's no different than netflix, hulu plus, and everything else. At some point, we just have to decide what's worth having and what's not.

 

Either make it free or make it a one time pay thing. I don't like how you have to pay every month to play a game. It's silly and shouldn't be done.

 

My problem with it is that they've tacked on a subscription fee, an in game store, and a retail fee. That just screams cash grab. If they made it a cheap game with a $10 a month subscription fee, I'm okay with that. If they made it a $60 game with an in game store but no subscription fee, that's definitely okay with me as well. Maybe they could make the game free but give it a subscription fee and an in game store. That would be a little strange but still okay. You can't have all 3.

 

Of course I would want it to be F2P who wouldn't personally I would like to see them do something similar to LOTR that way if people want bonuses towards smithing or hunting or whatever they can get one of the VIP packs which can last for either a month or year.

 

I personally prefer the pay to play type because in most F2P you have to pay in the ingame store to access all the features and do everything. I prefer to pay the subscription and have an ingame store for useless models/pets if people want to, but not feel obligated past a certain point in the game.

 

$5 or $10 is the perfect price. Games that are P2P are much better. They have a much better customer service and the developers do not need to care about ways on making money. Like a shop where you buy xp boost or stuff that'll help you in the game. With P2P, the developers will be more focused on how to make the game better.

 

I think there is very little doubt it will be $15 per month. They may go $12 so that they are lower than WOW.. but it isn´t going to be below $8. What people don´t realize is that a subscription model allows the devs to plan in advance and hire the appropriate number of people.

 

I agree with most people here. I mean I prefer to not pay anything and 60$ is just outrageous if you ask me. I would prefer paying 10 or less if possible.

 

Either way I know for a fact I wont be getting the game as soon it comes out I am going to wait at least a year I am sure the price of the game is going to drop like crazy or at least that is what I am hoping for.

 

Waiting for the price to drop is really a double-edged sword. If the game is good, and successful, they will probably have a hard time adding servers. WOW actually had to stop selling copies for awhile because they couldn´t launch servers fast enough.. During that first 1-2 year period, they certainly didn´t drop the price of the box.

The only time box prices fall right after launch is if the game is doing poorly. At which case you wouldn´t want to buy it anyway.

 

I would prefer a free-to-play world with the option to go VIP like Lord of the Rings Online. I think that many people would go VIP if the game is good and one of them is myself. 10-15 $ would be fine for me if the game is excellent

 

I definitely prefer free-to-play with an un-intrusive micro-transaction feature, but if I had to pay a fee I'd prefer $5-10 per month since that seems reasonable along with the initial $60.

 

Not sure I'd play it at all, regardless of the price. I already have Skyrim, and I don't have to deal with annoying people there.

 

Assuming that there is a base fee for $60 I wouldn't buy subscription if it cost anything more than $10. If they were to remove the base fee then sure, I'd be more inclined to pay $15 monthly. I feel like they are asking a bit too much with a $60 base fee then a $15 monthly subscription.

 

I'd like it to be around 10$, I guess. 55 euro for the game and then so much for the sub just doesn't feel like a good deal for me. I know the ingame shop will not have balance altering things, but I still dislike it !

I know some will argue that WoW is already doing this and has been for a long time now. WoW has a large fanbase AS AN MMO (not a single player), it has a strong fanbase that can take the hits, whereas TESO is just starting off in the MMO department and it just feels to me like their starting price is a bit high.
