User blog comment:Jimeee/Elder Scrolls Online will be subscription based/@comment-95.44.165.1-20130824114858

I don't mind paying the €12.99 in theory. But I am curious to know if that monthly subscription (and the original purchase fee, whatever it may be) will be it for payments, or will there be content in-game that will only be unlockable by paying more money in. I doubt it, but it's not unheard of in other games, and so I will reserve judgment until the game has been out and on the market for about 6 months or so, at which point I will have to decide if it's worth my while or not.

It is a shame that Zenimax and Bethesda are putting so much time and effort into an MMO instead of a further Elder Scrolls "episode". I've loved Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind, and really would love to see any of the other provinces explored.
