I will try it again. However, it had the same kinda poopy issues that Ilum had on SWTOR (to a lesser degree). Once so many people packed into an area the server choked hard, insane skill lag.

If they can't fix that (pvp the games main selling point if you ask me), then I still won't give them a dime.

Will give it another shot.

I bought the Imperial Edition in store on a recommend from a friend but I think I lasted a week and half before shelving it and taking it off my pc.

It wasn't a terrible game, imho, just a very bland and boring one. Not worth a sub, but now it's B2P I will give it another go.

Played the beta and was waiting for this announcement, it was fun but not sub worthy. Now i can buy a cheap copy off of amazon and play for free when boredom or burnout strikes.

Regardless of what people think of the game the model they are using looks good.

You get the basic game and then buy the content dlcs. So this means they have to be seen as value for money or no one will purchase them which should keep the quality up. You pay 20 bucks and get shadow of revan and you will really think about where you want the next purchase.

Im sure we will also see cosmetic stuff as well but with any 'luck' they will avoid the lock box lottery filled with cosmetic crap as favored by BW. Hell they want to sell me the next chapter for my gunslinger I'd be far happier to purchase that than a box that has a piece a gift a space xp boost and a piece of wrist armor nobody wants and maybe a slot machine!

so far, its pretty much point for point copy of Secret World's b2p model - it genuinely looks like they look at various subscription optional games on the market and learned from them (and that includes SWTOR). if they continue to go with that, all the cosmetic stuff will be sold on individual basis.

I do love what they are doing with the horses (which is sort of hybrid of their own system and scaling skill that TOR and WoW have) I greatly prefer imperial white horse to all the other options - visually speaking, but in game bought horses (some of them anyways) came with 10 extra ability points if you will.

My only concern about ESO is that many of the issues that drove me (and many others) away still exist.

I suppose it depends on this new Champion system and how it's implemented.

I didn't really like it when I played the Beta. Not sure I could get into it. I have all the other games just didn't get into it.
