One time payment for full game access

The Issue

The Elder Scrolls should protect its values. A subscription fee only worked once in the history of MMOs for a reason.

 

WoW which is the only subscription based MMO which managed to succeed in the level I hope The Elder Scrolls Online would is loosing players each month.

In the months March - July WoW lost 8% of its subscribed players. 700k players. Blizard's CEO Bobby Kotick sayed that the company expects to see the number fall further throughout the year.


Until now, Bethesda and ZeniMax gave us an option to share our thoughts and comments about the game because this game is for us - the players.

 

The Elder Scrolls series was always B2P. Pay one time and play as much as you want. ZeniMax have decided to go on a new model with The Elder Scrolls Online - P2P. Pay one time and play for 30 days, then pay more to play for another 30 days and so on. This Petition is here to let them know that we do not ask for a F2P game (Free to play) but for a B2P game! We are willing to pay for the game, but a subscription fee is a mistake.

 

I am here to let Bethesda and ZeniMax know that the players do not agree with making another WoW game out of The Elder Scrolls Online. I believe that you put a lot of effort into the game, but with this action you are cutting off your fan base and future player base.
This must be stopped before it is too late. A subscription fee will destroy the game. A one time fee for the game will still generate money for the company (And a lot of it, look at GuildWars for example) while making the game succeed!

 

So if you agree with me, sign this petition and maybe togther we'll be able to make them see their mistake!
