Eso has a price tag, a monthly sub, locks away Imperials and the choice to be in any alliance with any race behind a preorder paywall or behind a specific purchase. I predict this goes F2P in the first 6 months. I am currently playing the beta and it feels like a watered down skyrim, that has 20% of content that skyrim had BEFORE you started adding mods. Too much space between quests, and its boring. The only thing that ESO does right is the music and the feeling that i need to play Skyrim more. I really do not know what were they thinking with this game. We even prepared a gameplay video, but they wont let us show it unless its only 15 mins, up to lvl 15 and nothing more. They are banking on the fanbase to simply love the game, heck i would choose Rift before this game ANY day. Stick to skyrim, it is 10x the game in EVERY regard.
