Got Email around 2300 UTC last night (the 4th)  announcing another ESO Beta
weekend.

<<<<"Friday, February 7th at 12:00PM EST until Monday, February 10th at
11:59PM EST.
You'll be able to play any characters you created during the last test,
and they'll all be available again when we send you an invitation to our
next test.">>>

Well isn't that nice of 'Them'.
If I have an invite I guess most of the World does - I rarely get these
things.

I'm not to certain just who 'Them' are.
Bethesda ? or the Zenimax Online on the downloaded folder name?

The game folder is just under 30 GB & this latest Patch has taken my 750 kbs
download
about 3  1/2 hours in addition to what I had from the Last Beta.
Its made up of some 8 sections of varying sizes.
The available disc space needs to be 50GB to allow for  workspace as it
downloads.

Well I don't know ?
MUST NOT talk about it !! (super scary enormously long Eula)

In a sense I don't need to make a buy or not decision as the selling method
is impossible for me.
We have to buy the Game at full price for a April 4 launch - that includes
30 day play.
Its all & only Online - no sign of any Offline single Player Mode.
Then to continue its subscription of $14.99 USD EVERY MONTH !
There is no way I want this . And the Internet is full of people who think
its unworkable

I play a game when I want to which after the initial enthusiasm means a few
hours
here & there maybe with months of inactivity .
'They' are expecting a continuous commitment I will not want to play to.

If it could be  something like "A Dollar a day to Play for a Day....come &
go when you want
with your easy-use Elder Scrolls Online Happy-Fun Account" ...well maybe.

The collective Net opinion is that it ain't going to work & the game will be
Free To Play within months.
&/ or 'They' will be out of business after a reported $200 million
investment in ESO

I'm a good EULA respecting Bunny (except for M/S's)
so can't even say Lord of The Rings Online with glitter n gloss
but there are a number of full reviews of the Beta around.

(\__/)
(='.'=) This is Bunny. Copy and paste Bunny into your
(")_(") signature to help him gain world domination.


This is odd. You act as though you'd never heard of MMORPGs before.
