I can't help but feel that all the negativity surrounding ESO on this board is a bit misplaced.

From the point of view of someone who has thoroughly enjoyed the TES series since Morrowind, I can honestly say that ESO has met my expectations and I'm really having a great time with it!

There's differences yes but I think people are jumping on the bandwagon after one or two hours of playing a beta or even watching some videos on youtube. Plus, based on the way that the devs over at Zenimax Online Studios have been responding to the fanbase during this late stage of development, they really do want to put out the game that people want. There's been so many changes and enhancements over the course of the last 3 betas that anyone who has got a predetermined opinion on the game based off what they saw months ago should really consider holding their judgement until they've experienced it.

Will it go F2P? There's always that possibility because I don't think the MMO market is as lucrative as it used to be so only time will tell. But for the moment, I think they're on the right path with it. The PvE is great, the PvP is great, it looks fantastic and it plays extremeley smoothly.
