Lower Monthly Price? Pre-Paided Cards?

Post » Tue Mar 04, 2014 5:52 am

hum...

where is the server prices for hosting all those peoples? where is the price for paying technicians to take care of those servers? where is the price to pay the rent where the servers are hosted? where is the price for when a server break and need to be repaired? where is the price for every patches that add new content/balance classes? where is the price to pay the one who code the game?

Yeah ESO is way cheaper.

Skyrim - $110 for maybe 80 hrs gameplay... maybe 4 weeks @ 20hrs/week. or do 2 playthroughs - 1 for each side = 160 hrs or 8 weeks.

ESO - $240 for a year - 52 weeks @ 20 hrs/week with new content being added. / Or 150hrs per side (according to devs if you skip content) x 3 = 450hrs if you only go 1-50 on each side and quit.

OMG it never ends.

Seriously stop being cheap. People put ALOT of work in to bring this game to you! Not that you even give a #$&@ bu You are paying for art! The months and maybe even years of work!!

Why does everything have to be #$%@$% Free all the F@#$@#% time?

How would you feel if the company you worked for decided to give their product away for free? Do you think your company should throw caution to the wind and hope people donate money to keep the company running??? What is the matter with you?? Your thought process is whacked out.

If you don't like the sub fee then go back to that sorry ass "cup-cake tweeny ville" game you got in the google play store....Google Play store...THE WALMART OF VIDEO GAMES. :swear:

People dont necessarily pay more in a F2P game, someone who wants to win will pay more, and someone who wants the game succeed will paymore. The ones who want ESO to be free will not drop a dime into the game, why should they if its free. I support 15$ a month if i can afford it so can you.

What you don't understand is that No one has a vested interest in the success of the game except the devs...and their families.

i think the money are justly charged,

that said- i am comparing the price to the WoW money subscription-

eso is cheaper, and the game looks muuuch better, and the gaming experience was much better as well

-so i see no reason to lower the money, since it's already quite low

and if you can't pay, then wait a couple of months until you can?

i'm pretty sure if there's monthly subscriptions, you can also make little holes of months when you're not feeling like playing the game, thus you don't pay for those months either, and start paying again when you wanna play again?

I really don't know... everyone was saying Final Fantasy Realm Reborn is an excellent game, one of the best mmo of all time blah blah etc. I did not buy it because it has a subscription fee. There are just too many good games in the market these days that are free to play or buy to play that I can skip the ones that require subscription fee.

Subscription fee imposes pressure on me in a way to force myself to play even when I don't feel like playing. It is like "if I skip a day of playing then I have wasted $0.5 of the money I already paid". That's not a good feeling. I don't need that.

That's a bit disingenuous if know anything about past MMO and the sub fees. The sub fees are always given a discount if you pay for multiple months. I've payed $120 for a one year sub fee and would do so again. And I just won't compare Skyrim to ESO. Do you know how many times I've been playing Skyrim and wished I could play it with a few of my friends? Being able to play a game I enjoyed as much as Skyrim with multiple people makes any difference worth it in my book.

I'm sorry you feel differently. And I hope to see you in-game.
