Elder Scrolls Online Will Take Subscription Model

It is quite a bold move, considering the trend of MMOs like Star Wars:The Old Republic, Tera and Rift giving up on the subscription model in favor of the free to play options early this year. Matt Firor, General Manager of Zinmax Online explained that “The Elder Scrolls games are all about allowing the player to go where they want, be who they want, and do what they want. 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.”

As for the PS4 version of TESO, Firor stated that there would be few differences between the PC version and console version. “Graphics, engine, content, etc., are all the same.” And “the only differences you can expect between the PC and console versions is playing with a controller and player-to-player communication (no keyboard).”

Players will be able to enjoy an ultimate play for the first 30 days with the base purchase of the game. After the first month, if they want to continue to play, they have to pay a flat fee which is about $14.99/€12.99/￡8.99 a month. Discounts or other payment methods will be discussed later. In addition, the game will keep a 4 to 6 week update cadence once it is launched.  Here to supply Buy Final Fantasy XIV Gil

Unfortunately, the launch date and whether the open beta will be exclusive for the PS4 still remain unknown.

The Elder Scrolls “We wanted to do monetisation outside of the game”

The Elder Scrolls Online director Matt Firor has explained to Eurogamer why Zenimax Online Studios has decided to charge a monthly subscription for the massively multiplayer online role-playing game at a time when most observers consider the business model outdated.

Zenimax raised eyebrows this week when it announced that it will charge ￡8.99 / $14.99 a month to play TESO when it launches in the spring of 2014 – that’s across PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Before explaining the decision, Firor insisted: “this isn’t a referendum on free-to-play.”

“I play those games all the time,” he said. “This isn’t like: those aren’t valid.”

The decision was made for two reasons, Firor said: to ensure monetisation would fit appropriately within the established Elder Scrolls experience, and to fund post-release content.

“When you’re in an Elder Scrolls game, you’re in a world,” he said, explaining the former point. “We don’t want players to hit monetisation fees when they’re in the world.Here to supply Buy FFXIV Gil

“It’s like, I go into a dungeon, if I don’t have access to the dungeon it pops up a window: you don’t have access to this, go buy 50 credits. We didn’t want that experience. That’s not an Elder Scrolls experience.

“We wanted to do monetisation outside of the game. So, if I pay for a month at a time, I have 100 per cent of the game. I don’t have to worry about paying one more cent. I’ll never run into a pay gate and I’ll be in the world.”

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn Early Access And Launch

Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn is a subscription MMORPG built on the ashes of original FFXIV.  This so-called “rebirth” has a completely new vision for the title, with a focus on the traditional MMORPG that many modern games have moved away from in order to facilitate action-based combat or extreme accessibility.  FFXIV:ARR offers high accessibility but retains many of the challenges and nuances of more traditional MMO fare blended with one of Square Enix’s strongest IPs.  What we have as of launch is a little bit of the old, a little bit of the new, and some serious server issues for North American and European players.


Early access, or the period over the last weekend rolling into launch today, has been a mess.  There’s no way to sugar coat it, servers were up and down constantly and even when they were up there was no guarantee of gameplay. Servers go into lockdown mode without offering queues and leave players to set up automated systems to attempt continual logins hoping that they beat the ubiquitous 1017 error.  New players seeking to join up with friends are out of luck – Some of the more popular worlds have entered an emergency state of complete character lockout, meaning no new characters can be created.

These issues rolling into today’s launch can be viewed with multiple lenses.  One of these lenses has a rose-colored tint and comes with standard MMORPG and online game releases, and manifests itself along the lines of “It’s launch, you should know there will be issues.  Look at <insert any major MMPORPG launch, Diablo 3, etc>.  This is an inevitable part of a big launch; it’s just going to happen.  It will get fixed.”  These statements are mostly true – Many MMORPG launches are not smooth endeavors, and it’s likely that these issues will be solved.Here to supply Buy FFXIV Gil

The other lens isn’t so bright.  This is the second dance at the ball for one of Square Enix’s major titles, and with some of the once grandiose glamour fading from what was once one of the most lauded RPG franchises in history, continual server launch problems and players not being able to connect may not be something the title can afford.  MMORPGs are notoriously expensive to create, and rebuilding the failed FFXIV is a must-win situation for Square Enix.

More players, at that moment, which means more problems for the SE team and announced on Facebook and official blog announced that it has reached a turning point:

About Final Fantasy XIV “Important Notice: Rebirth of the realm – due to the very positive response to FINAL FANTASY XIV: Rebirth of the realm, we are experiencing a very long wait time, the user can log in and play as a temporary measure, we will stop selling FINAL FANTASY XIV: a realm REBORN digital download products, so that we can accommodate all those who want to play in the coming days, we are working to expand our server capacity.

I hope the fans and the long-term health of the game from Square Enix’s move will allow current players to bring short-term inconvenience discomfort.
