Never played any of those other games you mentioned but I have had my fill on soooooooo many others. I now am getting the same feeling about ESO being the game WoW should have been.Ī lot of challenges ahead for ESO, but if they play it right, MMOs maybe back.

When WOW was released i felt that it was what EQ should have been. The expansion later this year will be the icing-on-the-cake. PS4 and PC versions are exceedingly fun and interesting with each update.

Yep, for now, and the foreseeable future there are definitely new players, but give it a little time and let's see where it goes. How much of Morrowind is actually new fresh development? We know the WARDEN class was already in game since its ALPHA, so that's code from dumpster diving I think battlegrounds were at least a concept early on as well? What's the size of the current dev team? do they have the muscle needed to innovate and generate fresh content to keep the game in at least a B2P mode? Basically, they can put ESO on cruise control and profit with the standard F2P MMO models just churning out low quality cosmetics, and nickle&dime for QOL features. In fairness ZOS is like all the other companies, they can make more from the whales with the things like crowns then they can with a sub model which requires them to maintain real value in the game to keep subs. Let's all wager and revisit this thread in a year and see if we're not already F2P, then it will be announced as a future intention. Everybody should take a look at that tread where the LOTRO dev talked about the changes to that game and made reference to ESO. I've been in enuff MMOs that made the transition to F2P that I know what that road looks like. Then, ZoS can ditch Crown crates and focus on making goods we can spend our Crowns on which comes with subscriptions. It's a sad truth to accept, but if we want ESO to be good, subscriptions must become mandatory, not optional. Without a guaranteed minimum of revenue to support long term projects, ESO is more likely to turn F2P rather than MMO. Here's to 18 years and 20+ expansions for ESO.ĮQ and Wow had something ESO doesn't: subscribers.
