A change in the schedule. It seems The Elder Scrolls Online will soon be F2P on March 17th. Most of you know about their broken gameplay. Something about a lot of it got fixed. I dunno. I’ve never payed much attention to its news.
I’ve never played the game (ain’t it obvious), nor did I even consider joining. But seeing this, would offer an alternative once my WoW subscriptions stop.
I’m curious why they’re going this route. Maybe to attract more people? Maybe to say “Hi, this game ain’t shit anymore!” And also the fact they’re going F2P, I’m reading something about ‘special, optional downloadable content available for purchase’.. aka micro-transactions; the bane of gaming.
Perhaps “Get to Level whatever for only $60.00!”.. just like Blizzard with their Level 90 boost. Or something like “Get this legendary gear piece for only $25.99(plus tax)!”
Still, this is something to consider if WoW doesn’t keep my interest. And it happens exactly on the day my account subs expire. Quicidence? Hmm. Probably.
Though I’ll laugh (and then be depressed) if the game crashes with a C++ error.
