So... they just came out and announced that TES Online will have a subscription. $15 a month, the first month free when you buy the game itself (so not really 'free').
I was excited for this game. I can honestly say there's zero chance of me getting it now, which really bums me out.
Anybody else disappointed by the news? Thoughts on it? Just figured I'd spread the news since I don't see a thread on it.

I think the old MMO P2P model is so archaic. I would prefer a B2P model. F2P can happen, but I think it would be better if they were ALL B2P then decide if they wanted to go F2P. They could do in-game purchases which would be fine. As well as making DLC, and Expansions for profit. P2P is only going to be less prevalent when the MMO community refuses these practices. This isn't the 90's or early 2000's where server upkeep, and online multiplayer is revolutionary.
