QUOTE(King Coin @ Apr 14 2014, 01:27 PM) Yeah, 4 subs would be a lot. Either they would have to pay their own, or share. You can have 8 characters per account.
That, I did not know...That would be 2 each... Does it work like as if you made 8 separate on Oblivion/Skyrim where you can send them to completely separate sections and that's where they'd be when you reloaded?...Well, -ish...There's save stones or something isn't there?...

That soon? I think that'd be quicker than The Old Republic, and that was reputed to be a disaster. As I recall it was redubbed "The TORtanic"

Well, one of the major benefits from a megaserver for a developer is that it will be able to keep you at the ideal bandwidth usage for your game at all times. Very helpful with controlling costs.

I'm worried that if it does go free to play, that the servers would be powered down soon after. And thus may the lesson be learned that you can't fleece all of the people all of the time...And not everyone's gonna give you all their money, just 'cause it's The Elder Scrolls...Especially after Skyrim... I'm still not sure Bethesda really appreciate the damage these games that take them ages to "fix" have done to them...*Shrug*...And now this with the subscription for a game that may or may not work the way it's intended... But that is an entirely separate issue, soooo... ... EDIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTAH!... Oh, here's an amazing advert for the game that I just found....Yeeeeah, this is gonna go sooo well... ...

AngryJoe review. Based on beta experiences I have to agree with him on a lot of points. The PvE is suffering from a very bad case of indecision, trying to be both a single-player and a multiplayer experience, leading to some pretty horrible issues. The biggest is with how the megaserver handles phasing, splitting groups and blocking players from helping their friends (which is a deadly sin of MMOcraft ). The economy is also not good, mainly due to duping glitches, lack of ability to trade outside of guild stores, non-instanced gathering nodes, boss farming, and horrible drop rates. That's two strikes, as both of those are huge issues. Then there's the fact that even at launch the game looks unfinished and is full of bugs, much more than the single-player titles. Oh, and they decided to go with Themepark style, which flies in the face of TES completely. Sorry, Bethesda, your MMO strikes out! As for the PvP, I'll stick with Guild Wars 2's World vs. World. Exactly the same as ESO's Cyrodiil, but faster paced and, best of all, no monthly subscription. This post has been edited by Thomas Kaira: Apr 22 2014, 08:55 PM
