My biggest issue with ESO was the extreme lack of solo daily content at endgame, don't get me wrong I like to group in MMO's and my main focus in swtor is raiding however what they done in ESO was make every quest and the entire map a H4 and have absolutely no solo content past VR10.

Also the balancing between classes/builds/weapon/armor types means unless you stick to strict cookie cutter builds (i.e. dress and a stick) then you can pretty much say goodbye to raiding at endgame. At least in swtor you can pick any discipline and while some are stronger than others you're not going to be a dead weight based on your discipline choice.

Guess I was right.
I remember that post, you did say that...

And yes, you were right...

I might give it a try, if I can try it out for free... if it is worth playing, I'll sub... I'm happy to support a good game...

If it isn't worth subbing, then I won't stay...

I'd guessed ESO would have been sub for a long while; until I played the beta and figured that 1 yr would be a surprise.

Definitional issue, some people divide all MMOs into two categories: Subscription Games and Non-Subscription Games, and often shorthand Non-Subscription Games as F2P for the sake of that distinction.

Others get more in-depth/specific and include classifications like B2P, etc.
One can only match, move by move, the machinations of fate, and thus defy the tyrannous stars. ~Kain

I heard they are gearing up WS to launch in China. Their salvation plan is not F2P but rather suckering the Asians into playing their boring grindy game.

I came to see if there was gloating... and I was not disappointed.

that said.... I'm actualy kinda happy that they are not only going with buy to play model, but also going with Secret world rather then SWTOR subscription/non subscription model.

was actualy trying to decide last few days if I should resub to ESO for a bit. now? I won't need to unless I decide I want to after playing on March 17.
