Quick question, how many months does the retail version get you? If it's $15 bucks a month, customers should be getting around 3-4 months with their initial purcahse. I do think it has some potential and could be a sleep hit on the consoles. It'll fill a RPG void until other games come.
The first month (30 days) is free, after that you start forking over the $15 a month. That's if it follows past MMO monthly subscription fees.
Game is just OK. I couldn't help feeling like I wished it was a single player ES game when I was playing it. Nothing about the MMOness of the game is compelling, new, or really enjoyable at all.
Or you can wait 6 months when it goes F2P. This game has no shot of succeeding with a subscription model imo.

Even WoW is free up to level 20. Bethesda is expecting people to pay full price for the game and then $15 dollars a month? That's just cray imo. It is doing nothing new with the MMO genre to really grab much of a market-share there and I don't think the MMOness of the game is going to resonate well long term with ES fans.Why not? WoW isn't the only game with a successful subscription model.
EXACTLY when they see not enough are stupid enough to do this.... they will cave and then I'm game.lol@buying the game and paying a subscription..good luck with that
$60 for the game and $15 a month PLUS $50-$60 a year(XBL/PS+) = sucker dough15 bucks is chump change.
I think this could be done with a lot of success. F2P just wouldn't have as big of a world, less skills, etc.I wish a game would split servers and set a few up as free to play and a few as subscription only. I know it's largely impossible for a bunch of reasons, but it would be an interesting experiment to see how many people flock to each type, how long they stay, which makes more money in the short/long term etc. The pay to play MMO's I've been in have had better communities that free to play - but that could just be correlation.

But paying 60 bucks a year to play online is not sucker dough? We could spin any amount to be "sucker dough". I could say paying 60 bucks a year to play CoD when I already paid 60 for the game and then another 50-60 for map packs is sucker dough, yet people do it.
"if" this is the kind of game people like and spend time playing it, in the end, 15 bucks is nothing. It's 2 meals at Wendy's for a meal consumed within minutes. it's 2 movie tickets, for movies that end within 2.5 hours. It could also mean over 20 hours of gameplay per month. Pretty cheap form of entertainment.

Not agreeing nope
Only 30 days? They're charging a full $60 for this? Man, you'd think we'd be getting at least two months out of the gate.The first month (30 days) is free, after that you start forking over the $15 a month. That's if it follows past MMO monthly subscription fees.
