Not for long unless they keep adding more things. I just can't see ESO holding my intrest for years on end. Other games will come along and I will try them out and move along. I loved Morrowwind, Oblivion and Skyrim, but the mods are what keeps me coming back and the fact that once I paid my up front price I was good to go and if I want to take 3 weeks off then no problem. ESO means if I go on vacation or have other things to to for a few wekks then $15 is not going to work for me. It's less than 50 cents a day but still if you arn't going to play much on a given month then what's the point. I hope they eventually they come up with a better plan or they will go the way of other online games that are fee based. Big use at the start then a gradual tapering off, then the bottom drops out when something better comes along. The weekend trial was good, but I'll be just as happy going back to Skyrim if the price of ESO isn't somehow made more enticing for me. Personally I think ESO will be made free to play within a year.
