Hello, I might be interested in buying the gold edition once it releases but I have some questions.
1) Is this game really free to play? swtor and EQ2 also claim to be free to play but there are so many restrictions and annoyances that it is no longer worth it.
2) Can I solo well and be welcome in a group with the same character? Like in FFXIV could the arcanist use his summoner pet to solo and his scholar pet to heal, he was great in both. I like playing non-dps roles in groups.
3) I like the look of the Argonians and was thinking of playing a sorcerer, can this work? Any suggestions for that char?
4) Does is matter whatever I buy this game on steam or on official site?

If I really like this game could I later sub for one month and us the 1500 to buy shadows of the hist.
And yes, its real b2p like GW2 or diablo etc. You won't be gimped even if you don't have every dlc at the start. Its a fantastic game, hope you have a good time.
OK EQ2 has been out a, long time hence the, term content that, last a, long, long time applies.
That term does not apply to ESO.
1 - 10% boost to XP gain
2 - 20% boost to XP as it applies to Champion points (ESO's version of EQs AA system)
3 - Access to the crafter bag - this is a virtually unlimited storage bag for crafting supplies. All of your characters put into it, and all of your characters can take anything out of it. So if your blacksmith character finds wood, when your woodworker logs in they can use the wood you found. This is a HUGE benefit, and all by itself would be worth the sub to many players, since crafting is very worthwhile in this game.
4 - 1500 Crowns to spend in the crown shop. Coincidentally, buying 1500 crowns on the ESO website costs the same as a monthly sub.
And yes, if you wanted to sub for a month you get the crowns, which you can use to buy the DLC. Most DLC by themselves cost 2500 crowns. They usually have a super DLC pack available as well for 4000-5000 crowns. For Dark Brotherhood (5000 crowns) you get the DLC, a unique mount, a unique pet, and some supplies like top tier poisons and epic food.
The world is going to the dogs, which is just how I planned it!
Current edition gives you the original base game plus the first 6 patches - some of which added new content. It hasn't been "converted" like e.g. SWTOR or LotR.
The announced Gold Edition will feature the current version plus the first 4 quarterly DLCs.
The only question you have to ask is whether to buy the current edition - sub-$20 from authorised sellers, Amazon etc. or the Gold when it comes out at $60ish. Which comes down to how much you might like the game.

I self identify as a monkey.

and because F2P is like voting for hillary
