The fantasy MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online has switched to the Buy2Play model “Tamriel Unlimited” overnight from Monday to Tuesday. Players can now log in without an active subscription.
Last night, the first players in North America were surprisingly able to log into The Elder Scrolls Online without an active account. It has now added the name “Tamriel Unlimited” and switched to a Buy2Play model. Normally, this was supposed to happen in the USA a few hours later – at that time it was still Monday afternoon there, the changeover was actually announced for Tuesday.
In Germany, the patch 2.0.1., which made this possible in the USA, is scheduled to be rolled out at 3:00 AM. The maintenance work is expected to take a few hours. Then players here will likely be able to log in without a subscription on Tuesday morning as well. They only need to have purchased the game. It has not become Free2Play, as many hoped: players must at least have purchased and activated the base game once.
These are not exactly ceremonial moments for a payment model change. There are no fanfares, confetti, or dancing Khajiits, but so what? Better to get started a few hours earlier, and whether it’s 7:00 AM or 5:00 PM, those few hours don’t matter much anymore.
There seems to be a small error as well: If you do not see your Champion Points after the patch, you should log out and log back in.
In this trailer, you can see all the changes that TESO has gone through since launch. Here are the latest changes and the patch notes for 2.0.1.
