User blog comment:Ikabite/The Elder Scrolls Online: P2P or F2P?/@comment-89.241.101.108-20130213123659

Monthly payment (I'm old-fashioned like that) as long as we get regular content and good expansions and support for our money. OR 'buy-to-play' (Guild wars style). F2P is usually just a misleading marketing term for an extended trial.

Also I wouldn't buy digital, after losing nearly £100 when Warner/Turbine made the European LoTRO keys invalid.
