Agreed, I am not into having to spend 50-60 bucks on a game JUST to be charged a monthly fee so I can have the pleasure of dealing with hundreds of 12 year old's.

I would be satisfied with this being co-op instead of MMO. A system that allowed you the full game on single player, PLUS co-op with your friends when you wanted. I plan on playing with my wife and close friends, not random 12 year olds.
Sucks that most of the adult gamers are backing out of this one due to the monthly fee. I would LOVE to have this game for free, but realistically that's not going to happen.
Awesome for the Playstation owners that you don't need the PS+ service to play online. Sucks to own an X-Box.
As a side note, we should start an RPF guild.

Um.. graphics don't work that way. What you see on your screen is rendered by your computer, and your computer alone. The only thing being processed on the servers is location and character actions. That's the only thing that gets transmitted back and forth between your system and their servers. There is no technical reason why someone couldn't make a MMO that looked like Crysis 3. The real reason is money. MMOs require a huge amount of effort into programming the online interactions. Good graphics likewise takes a huge amount of effort. Effort, in this case, means money, and their budget, as ridiculous as it is, just doesn't have room for both. That's why the prettiest games tend to be single-player.
And frankly, Skyrim, as pretty as it was, was not very impressive from a technical standpoint. Its art style was what saved it.
I agree with the majority on this one... this project will fail, and it will fail hard. If they honestly think that this business model can be sustained longer than a few months, they're in for a rude awakening, and it'll hit them where it hurts. We've already seen this happen with Star Wars: The Old Republic, and for some idiotic reason, Bethesda and Zenimax feel like they're exempt from what happened to Bioware and EA (despite the same warnings being given then, and they were 100% right). The PC version is launching first, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them completely revamp the subscription model by the time the console versions launch in June.

That may be true, but the lowered graphics have already been explained, which is to allow more people to play it with their current hardware.
If people don't like the game, then they can stop playing whenever they want. The game comes with 30 says of paid subscription. After that, they can just stop playing and move on if they need to. I'm sure it will become f2p eventually, but to not give it a chance right out of the gates makes no sense.

No, that's scalability. Hence the "Options" screen in PC games. If it doesn't run well, you turn it down. We should still have the option to crank it to 11 if they had only made the game capable of it. I don't like being held back because of other people's hardware. Developers who say that sort of thing (and they're not he first, EA has done it, too) are lying to your face. "Don't drink the Kool-Aid, man." And besides, they're releasing it for PS4/XB1... fixed hardware platforms that can push a hell of a lot more than this game is even attempting to do.
Not giving it a chance out of the gates? Why not? What have they done to make me want to buy it? I haven't even seen gameplay yet, except some leaked beta footage half a year ago (which frankly, made the game look like a complete waste of time). They haven't done a damned thing to show any of us that the game will be worth ten bucks, much less sixty.

Clearly you are one of 'those' people that choose to not be convinced, so why bother posting here just to flame it? There's been a ton of new beta footage. Google it. And the betas are capped at medium graphics anyways, so it should look a lot better once you crank it up.

I don't believe anyone has said it was the second coming of the MMO. But everyone is expecting it to be Skyrim online, and it's not. Enjoy the game, or don't, but for those who keep saying they are just going to continue playing their WoW and GW2, go for it.

Anyone joining the beta this weekend? If I could ever finish downloading it I will be there! Currently stuck at 17% ugh. They should allow more time for the download before the beta.

I'll probably be playing on and off this weekend. Good news is that the NDA has been lifted so, screenshots and conversations will be happening. This beta is going to have to really impress me and a deciding factor if I'm going to get ESO or not. The last two betas I've been in have not been impressive.

Apparently this beta is going to be the same as the last one. None of the fixes/suggestions have been addressed in this beta (supposedly). But the Facebook post says that you have to run a patch for the client before you play, so that information may be wrong.
I haven't gotten to play yet, so it will be a good chance for my wife and I to see if what it's all about. The previously released footage looks awesome. I don't know what the haters were expecting from it to be let down so badly. The Facebook trolling is outrageous.

My son is playing the Beta this weekend, I have watched him over the last 3 beta tests and thought it looked the same as Skyrim with its washed out colours but then he started playing in an area of lush jungle which had some brilliant colouring and he said the desert areas are done in great reds and orange. He also said the crafting system is a little different. He is enjoying it and will be subscribing. I think i'll give it a pass after wasting years playing WOW i don't think i need another time killer.

Last beta was much better especially the PvP. Plays a lot like GW2's World vs World vs World. Obviously there was a bit of lag and rubberbanding. High latency was expected since it is still in beta. I'm still not convinced on getting the game and I guess I'll see what happens with this weekend's beta. Might be good since the Imperials are going to be playable.

I wanted to give it a try but I got my key a day or two ago and it don't seem like it's gonna be done downloading by this weekend.
