Elder scrolls online preorder.

[Zypher20]

So elderscrolls online is now available for preorder.


Price is a bit steep by pc standards 69.99 I think for the dugital emperor (deluxe) edition. And monthly cost will be 8.99 per month.

Whos gonna preorder? In too minds myself. Want to try it but its a bit expensive.

I've pre-ordered the standard edition with a 20% off voucher so paid £40. Still expensive with the money off.

With the money off I think I would have went with the deluxe edition, the physical deluxe edition has a really nice looking lore/art book with it but I know it would just sit and probably not be read if I got it. That's what I liked about Rift with their collectors edition, there were some good ingame items and with the physical edition (which oddly was the same price) you got a 8gb usb stick so something which would be useful.

I am testing the beta at the moment and it is good but I don't think it's worth all that. I would have expect it to be free to download with just a monthly subscription. My big issue is that I just will not get to play it very often.

Thought it was rather 'meh', nothing special about the game but the cinematic was great on youtube... lol

Hmm I didn't think the preorder would cost so much, that with the subscription fee and rumoured cash shop I do wonder about the life of this game, I might come play it if it eventually does turn free to play like starwars knights of the old republic

For that kind of money I could get a dozen quality games during a Steam sale, so I'm not touching this game at all, despite loving the Elder Scrolls SP games. Then again, I'm not really into MMO's in the first place, since I can't see how spending a monthly fee is getting value for money when MMO game content is often even more boring and repetitive than normal games. Think about something like Guild Wars series, that is a far better prospect as it has no monthly fee and has the same kind of fantasy play style. I wish they had gone that route.... or just made a co-op game instead :/

yeah I got beta code too.took too long to dl so aint played it yet.thinking I wont bother.dont get me wrong skyrim is one of my all time fave games loved it played over 400 500 hours on it.but ive got 3 kids and a wife so its looking kinda too expensive for me.8 quid a month for a pc game not happening here..not read about xbox is it going to be 8 quid a month aswell..

I've been tempted to shell out the £89.99 for the collectors edition, but realised that I just won't get the same kind of playtime out of it as I would Skyrim. If the game was subscription free, or the pre-orders game with a similar credit for playtime it might be worthwhile but I've been burnt too many times by MMO launches which put out half-finished products to make it worthwhile.

Like many posters, I've seen the game in action and it's just too raw and unfinished to get excited about. I'm annoyed because I wanted a new game to occupy my time and this one just isn't it.

Played the 1st beta, won't bother looking at any information about it again until its actually out and even then I may wait a while.
