I know, I know, Morrowind isn't even out yet but since they stated a new chapter every year, which is a solid strategy to keep players interested with something to always look forward too i wonder what even next years would be?

Next Year: Oblivion
The year after that: Skyrim
They are obviously capitalizing on the popularity of Morrowind, why not these ones too, specifically Skyrim due to it's popularity.
They could also add Daggerfall or Arena possibly.
After that ? This is supposed to be a yearly thing, it'll be interesting to find out what they come up with every year.
Depending on what they do with the DLC, the whole of the map could be finally opened within a couple of years. They might need to look into opening areas like Blackreach. Which would be really neat.
if nostalgia is what you are looking for then by all means....
ESO brought me to the TES line... I didn't play any of those single player ones, just ESO.
Thus proving that the MMORPGs are WAY better.

Of all TES games I have enjoyed ESO as much if not more on occasion as I did Morrowind. And much more than Oblivion or Skyrim.

I'm sure many others are like myself. While I do play games more than the average person I assume. I spend all of my money elsewhere (Art supplies, Guitar/sound production equipment etc) for the most part. At most I'll pay a sub usually. I don't really care to purchase shop items. Certain games make it a must to "look cool". Yet I've never felt SWTOR or ESO were that way (just two mainstream examples). I actually find most of the shop costumes in games to be gaudy and unrealistic, which I despise.
XP pots and that stuff never had much appeal for me either. Mounts and the like again usually gaudy or unrealistic. There's just never much in those shops that draw me to them.

but that's just me and i know some will disagree and that's fine.
Otherwise it would have probably died off long ago. Yet the servers are still pretty active (across multiple platforms). Is that good or bad?
I personally don't look at it so negatively in cases like that.
1) it's a game with tons of vanilla content ( at a typical game's price tag).
2) they regularly update the multiplayer portion. (yes I'd love some single player DLC)...
In other cases it's not so rosy. This isn't really a universally good or bad topic.

It was even a rare thing in PC games when consoles started doing it but these days there is hardly any difference between PC, consoles, IOS or Facebook games. They're all constantly trying to sell you more.
At best to me, they're things to be ignored while playing but they're always an annoyance.

I too liked it when games were a one payment purchase.
The games in question tended to only give content for a week or two though, at best a month if it had different difficulties, or if you were competing with friends, a bit of rivalry play engaged us for a longer time in certain games.
But overall short term games.
Now these MMORPGs are massive, having to pay them with a sub and then +++ extra extra Xpacs, DLCs, Chapters etc. and what ever eyecandy is added in a store that lures the beholder to buy things again.
It is unfortunate it has turned out that way, and on top of that, getting things ingame in a lot of MMORPGs has gotten increasingly more annoying. And when not that, designers intentionally degrade the attraction of lower game rewards in appeal and looks, to the point where its almost an insult. And causing second grade players, if they wear the ugly gear.
Manipulation is taking place, I will not deny that.
It is just so rare to find a game that has the design you like, the art you like and the playstyle you like, that it becomes easy to feel grateful of such one game existing, that paying the compromise seems fair enough.
I mean what other choice do we have.
Play ugly cheap games or games with an extreme amount of RNG to prolong players subs?
Not play games at all?
Spend most of our time on gameforums complaining to the companies?
What are our choices Iselin?
I just want to play the game I like.
Do I feel its unfortunate that Zenimax continue to raise the prices for mounts? As if they are testing just how high they can go, before they have to stop?
Yes I find it very annoying.
And I have stopped buying the really expensive ones. I mean a mount now costs a whole game or now a chapter.
It just does not end till we stop buying the games, there is no other way.
But I dont want to stop, I cant.
What to do?
