Is The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Edition worth it.

[Potato]

First sorry for posting wrong place but I don't know where to ask, TES Online forum required you have to own the game to be allowed to post in there
I'm on short of money right now so I don't want spend 30$ on gold version.
Is 10$ standard version enough for playing and enjoyment? Is monthly subscription is necessary for playing?
Thank you all and sorry for my bad english.

You don't need monthly to play the base game, but gold is on a monthly subscription. My adivce? I'd say stay away from that craphole of a game, and stick to something more enjoyable, unless you like generic MMOs.

Thank you for your advice :). Maybe I should pick uo Oblivion GOTY instead? I love Skyrim but never play Oblivion before, your opinion? :xd

Get the cheapest one. Don't bother subscribing! You don't need to.

TRUST me.

I was a Beta player, got some nice unique pets n stuff blah blah...

but at end of the day, all you need is the bog-standard game and you can get so much from the game just from playing it. Level up your crafting and join a guild making the best armour in the game etc... become a captain in a guild, help others etc...

You really do not need to buy all the best jingle jangle RUBBISH! They are trying to ram down your throat.

Spend the least money and have a good time. Maybe later on, when you have more money, you can buy DLC. But until then, enjoy building up your characters. The standard game is massive and LOTS of fun.

You might bump into me one day. Add me, just in case and I will help u out some time. Aye, I was a guild Captain and I have maxed characters. But MANY MANY of us are like that. So get the game, get a message out there in Zone chat that you wanna join a guild and get levelling with friendly players, and off you go :)

May your road lead you to warm sands.

Depends on what you wanna do really. If you just want to relax and explore the world then basic version is more than enough. If you want to hardcore the thing you might want to have them DLCs.

That said Thieves guild stuff is kinda nice if you like that sort of thing. You can steal just fine without it but the flavor it adds is very much appreaciated.

It's 100% worth it. Paid my ten bucks, and I'm actually regretting not getting the Gold edition now xD.

I've been playing for 20+ hrs and feel I've barely scratched the surface. Iloved Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim... I feel very much at home here.

sorry i didnt get it. so if you bought gold edition, you need monthly fee to be able to play the DLCs? what happens if you stopped paying monthly fee, you cant play DLCs anymore? or what?

you can get the basic game and get the rest when you have enough money to pay for it. i did not subscribe it, i bought the dlcs and some cosmetic separate.

if you subscribe you "rent" the dlcs and what comes with it, as long as you continue paying upkeep fee for that subscribe. when you do that you do not "own" the content what comes with the subscribe you "rent" the content.

[Walker☻//︻ ---]

Get the 10€ edition and then buy month sub and you get all the DLCs for 1 month + 15€ worth of crowns which then can be used to buy DLCs when u are out of sub

Okay... Same questions, from a fanatic Elder Scrolls gamer:

I'm still playing modded (massive one) Skyrim. But I want also to go beyond that, to play something new. So...

1. WHICH The Elder Scrolls® Online to buy? Best choice (money/value)?
2. Do I need monthly paying for be online and playing?
3. Can I enjoy the game solo? Okay, maybe I'll join a guild/group, but generally I'm a solo adventurer.

2. No, and that is why I quit. I used to play this game when it was p2p and had to pay 15 euros a month. I quit after it dropped sub model. Why waste time earning stuff when you can just buy them with real money? That is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ dumb, and in fact, you can't even earn the coolest stuff. Wan't to get that awsome horse you see running around? You can't earn it. It costs real money. Want that cute pet someone is having? You need to pay for it. Horrible model. I play games to earn my stuff and feel great afterwards. I don't buy dragonbone and daedric stuff with VIsa in skyrim, I earn them. That is the only right way to play a game. I was fully contet paying 15 euros a month and that gave me free pass to earn everything the game has to offer, then the model changed and now you don't get to earn stuff any more. Just use your visa and unlock everything. Don't buy this piece of ♥♥♥♥. I will never play free to play games because they are cancer of the industry. Play some real p2p MMO instaed like Final Fantasy XIV.

3. Yes. There are lot of very good quests and stories that you get to experience just like in Skyrim and Oblivion. Some quests are hilarious and some are very dark and mature. Very good solo experience. Might aswell play trough the main story plus most of the sidequest and then just quit after it because the game has this ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ stupid model where you can unlock stuff with real money and not through gameplay. Just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ horrible model.

Totally agree. I played ESO during the free weekend for a little while, but got bored of it after the starter dungeon. Everyone around me on the island had gear they obviously bought.

I only play one multiplayer game on Android. It's the only free to play game I have found where everything has to be earned before it can be bought (no buying XP), and everything can be bought with non-premium currency along with a small amount of premium currency. They give you premium currency just for logging in every day. The only exceptions are a few items that can only be unlocked by participating in a contest, which can't be bought by normal means at all.

Yes, ESO is great.

Gold version comes with the DLC, which looks like it might be worth it, it will cost you more to buy said DLC seperately, but only you can decide if it's worth it.

Just be aware that ESO is a much simpler game than skyrim, it is fun, but it isn't skyrim online. I say this because the majority of complaints against ESO is that it isn't like skyrim.
