Never bought/played it myself, but it sounds like one of those MMO's that would have functioned better being F2P and then just charging for DLC and then Booster Packs for faster/increased chances for rare gear and such.

How could it possibly have functioned as F2P? The production cost of this game was *ludicrous*. They should've..... what, done that for zero money?

....sorry. I fucking hate F2P. Hate hate hate. It's bayuddddd. I pay subscriptions happily in Elder Scrolls Online, if only to keep out the F2P would-be players. No regrets.
