    yep, even if I did want to play it, the cost to play is just prohibitive for me.

    It's what, $15/month? Or is there some other hidden cost? I recall expense being a concern some players had, but not much for specifics.

    I think the issue is, people are of the opinion that the cost does not justify the content and game you are paying for. I would probably agree.

    It's something like $40-60 for the game on top of the $15/month.

    I'll probably wait for a steam sale if I ever play this one tbh, I love Bethesda, but MMO's not their thing and unfortunately the Old Republic has left me scarred in MMO conversion titles.

    I want for it to be good so badly, but I think this is a classic example of my expectations being set unreasonably high

    The game itself looks promising but I didn't get out of any beginner areas, so I can't speak to PvP and other MMO features too well. Felt like I was in Skyrim, but it was online with other people. Which is in some ways a good thing, and in others a bad thing.

    Unfortunately, I'm the high king of skyrim; it's only getting worse.

    I have an extra key for this weekends beta. Not sure if it works as it was included in my invitation but anyone who wants to give it a try is welcome to send me a PM. First PM received gets it.

    yeah I'm pretty sure they sent a key to everyone and gave them an extra key because they really want as many people as possible for this weekend event.
