you don't really have to pay monthly for live anyway. it's $25 for three months and $60 for a year. so in reality it's not that bad. and $15 a month compared to the $25 for wow or th $20 a month for HBO is not that bad. i'd say it's well worth it to be able to do everything that you'll be able to do in ESO.
