Odd that you should say that......... EVE Online has had a subscription fee for the last 10 years and is still going strong and as for World of Warcraft over half the servers have a queue every night (yea they're hurting) SWTOR's problem was a fee for no endgame. The fee is to pay a staff for ongoing server upkeep and to provide new content. I have multiple paid subspription games and free to play ones, the ones requiring a fee are better and less buggy trust me if you really love The Elder Scrolls franchise you want it this way.
