Nope. Took a break when Blizzard gave me a free copy of MoP back in September. I'll check out TESO once patch 6 goes live. Should be finished up with most of WoD by then.

Looking like bouncing back and forth between TESO and WoW (with possibly some SWTOR mixed in) while waiting for the other to release new content may be the way to go in 2015.

Maybe I'm only one around here playing. Still have my original 4 man from release (we been playing together since EQ.) Anyway, lots of details on next update released.

It looks interesting. From some random company you'd have faith in. Unlike Zenimax.

Those updates look pretty good. I might resub in a few months when I'm bored.

The pay to beta is about finishing up.

Might have to come back

by the time ESO is better, Pantheon beta will be out. You really think you can break the addiction?

true. very true.

I bit the bullet and paid the 30 bucks for the Imperial Edition stayed away from this at launch but I'm bored and was advised to stay away from archeage

I read recently that ESO got rid of their 6 month subscription. The speculation that it is an imminent sign of FTP or complete shutdown. I'll edit if I find the article.

edit: The article, lol at the imaginary "poll" to justify the action.

ZeniMax is still activity developing the game, I doubt it will get shutdown. FTP is totally possible tho.

Im looking forward to trying this when it goes ftp.

Pretty strong rumors that the game is going to go b2p (no sub) and release on consoles Feb 24th, I wonder if you bought the PC version if you'd get to play the console version for free or if you'd have to rebuy

I don't think I'll finish DA:I before then, otherwise I'd pick this up and give it a 1 month try

I'll definitely come back to this if it's b2p and I get the xbone version for free. But I doubt I'd get the xbone version for free... Do any other cross platform games do this (buy once, play on all)?

I think about 200-300 pages back it was pretty much a consensus that, regardless of how good or bad this game was, there was no way that the console gaming community would ever pay a monthly subscription for it. B2P and paying for new DLC is typically the more popular pay model for consoles.

I'm perfectly fine with the console version being B2P from the start. The issue then becomes is it fair for console version to be B2P while the PC version staying monthly subscription.

On a side note, the ZOS community manager said the patch notes for 1.6 are up to 63 pages (MS Word doc) and over 22K words long. The nerfs will probably be buried somewhere towards the end.

I heard they change the Champion system a bit, anyone care to explain?

Go read their blog.
