I think that ZeniMax should provide a free-to-play common Elder Scrolls/RPG experience, and a separeted subscript-based MMO/PvP experience, that would draw both interest markets's attention, even if that would require some players to create more than one characters.

(Of course, we'd prefer to use the same Char for both purposes)
