    Thanks and am I glad I stopped by here. I was planning on patching in the morning, now it looks like I will be playing tonight.  Patch took me about 10 minutes

    Whilst the EU megaserver is not going offline until 2am on the 17th I think Zenimax should be praised for doing it this way; namely not taking the megaserver down in prime EU time. Kudos.

    If this hits a $20 price point it may be time for me to check it out. I played a bit in open beta and ... wasn't driven to make a Day 1 purchase. But I like the B2P model, and it may be worth taking another look at now that it's a year or so in and has time to make a lot of refinements.

    It's still $60 on Steam (only place I checked), and that's still a bit steep for me to jump in.

    Yeah, yeah, it's a good value, but I have a lot of decent games on my plate right now and it's more a matter of time to spend with them than money to spend on them.

    I got lucky and bought it at the store sight here for $25 a few months ago.Now it's almost double the price or more.

    Nice, game is updating now.

    I snagged it from Gamesrocket a few weeks ago for $17 and couldn't be happier. I've really enjoyed it so far, although I'm kinda worried going b2p is ruin it, but we'll see.

     

    [EDIT] I grabbed an explorer's pack key from one of those russian key sites for like $2. Great deal.

    Hopefully you didn't delete all your characters like some players do.  :-)

    Its really cool that they did this. And it was a really quick update. First thing i did was buy a mount and pet with my earned crowns.  Since i play as a redguard i got the the dog pet that they favor. And i was going to get  a guar mount but after seeing how silly they look riding on i just got a horse. Man they really look silly riding on. They should have made them a pack pet like in the other games.

    Euro here, trying when it goes F2P here, just hoping -but expecting otherwise- I won't get any annoying add popups when logging in.

    The game certainly feels like a far more complete mmo ... and should considering this is their actual release date after nearly a year of paid beta.

    You stay sassy!

    without the snarkyness-i agree,  it feels alot  more fluid-and alot closer to skyrim gameplay.

    which should get alot of fanbois to play.

    and you cant beat the b2p. hoping wildstar follows ESOs footsteps, as that game also is feeling complete!

    There is no snarky-ness implied. It very much was a paid beta. ZOS simply did not package it as such. Core systems were not completed. B2p was ALWAYS the plan because interviews up to a year ago clearly stated the impossibility of a sub on console due to MS and Sony restrictions to their own business models. Many models including armor were place holders. Final textures for many items were not in game. Stock and poor animations that exists since alpha and early beta existed. The intro wasn't even completed when the pc launched. The list goes on and on.

     

    Observable facts devoid of hype ... unofficial paid beta.

    You stay sassy!

    Last year I grabbed the IE but didn't play long. Been patching weekly though so this weekend I'll drop in with a new character just to see how ESO has grown since I was last in Tamriel. The b2p model with their Crown Shop should work out well for Zenimax and fans who were opposed to the subscription cost. Mounts & Pets for sale are always popular and I always end up buying something in a cash shop eventually but never "consumables" no matter how much XP it promises to boost me I see it as a waste.
