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.

You may be right for some people. But I can say everything I have said about the game is true... at least for me and others.

There will be a lot who like it and a lot who do not. But I can say without a shadow of a doubt that it is not worth $60 + $15 a month to play, again for me. And I think it is not for the "average" TES fan also.

We will have to wait and reserve final judgement on the overall game when it is released... but I will not be jumping on board. I am very interested to see how low or high the review scores are.
