The fact that the word 'monetized' exists points to the heart of the issue for us: We don't want the player to worry about which parts of the game to pay for - with our system, they get it all. He added that "players will appreciate not having to worry about being 'monetized' in the middle of playing the game, which is definitely a problem that is cropping up more and more in online gaming these days. This type of experience is best paired with a one-time fee per month, as opposed to many smaller payments that would probably add up to more than $14.99/month anyway." ![]() Can Elder Scrolls Online be free to play Now this is a serious question. Just purchase the game and you can play at no extra charge. They just use different ways of getting it. The game does not require a subscription. My intent is to finish the main storyline or at least get to the end game, as MMORPG veterans put it as quickly as possible, at which point my plan is to quit, full-stop. FTP and Subscription-based games both require money. The Elder Scrolls Online was designed and developed to be a premium experience: hundreds of hours of gameplay, tons of depth and features, professional customer support - and a commitment to have ongoing content at regular intervals after launch. What’s more, the 15 monthly subscription fee (in addition to the initial 60 price of admission) makes me feel pressured to play as much as possible. ![]() "We feel that putting pay gates between the player and content at any point in game ruins that feeling of freedom, and just having one small monthly fee for 100% access to the game fits the IP and the game much better than a system where you have to pay for features and access as you play.

What the hell is up with this? Is Bethesda just that greedy? I've never seen an MMO that requires you to pay for Plus before."The Elder Scrolls games are all about allowing the player to go where they want, be who they want, and do what they want," Firor explained. The same thing applies for Smite and any other number of MMOs I've played on the console. Both of these games allow you full access to all of their features whether you're a Plus subscriber or not. Elder Scrolls Online (also ESO or TESO) is a Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (MMORPG) developed by ZeniMax Online Studios. I've been playing both of them for years now. Now, I am used to playing Final Fantasy XIV and Warframe on my PS4. No Subscription Required Buy the game and enjoy countless hours of adventure, exploration, and more. But when I get to the title screen and hit X, it gives me an error saying I don't have "permission" to play online without Plus. Join over 21 million players and discover an adventure unlike anything else in The Elder Scrolls Online, the award-winning online RPG set in the Elder Scrolls universe. I cancel out of the purchase screen, thinking that's dumb but whatever. ![]() I figure it's going to try and ask me to buy the new expansion, but instead it prompts me to subscribe to PS+. ![]() After way too many hours of downloading, I boot the game up and immediately get booted to the PS Store. Earlier this afternoon, one of my friends did me a nice favor to try and help distract me from my depression and bought me a copy of Elder Scrolls Online for PS4 since it's on sale for $10 right now.
