Free the Elder Scrolls

So Elder Scrolls Online has gone Free to Play. What this means is that this game is joining the other MMORPGs on the same boat whilst WoW is continuing to stream-roll along unabated.

Okay seriously, I've played ESO and I will certainly admit that it has been fun. So to hear to go Free to Play is something of a mixed blessing. On one hand, it may generate new interest in the game and become something of a lifeline. But on the other hand, it is a step towards the graveyard where many other MMORPGs lie.

Ultimately though, I guess time, as ever, will tell whether or not ESO has enough clout to go in for the long-term but it would be interesting to see how things develop in the wake of the FTP announcement
