Fun useless facts in this Elders Scrolls Online Infographic

Zenimax and Bethesda’s new Elder Scrolls MMO is available to all and sundry today, and to celebrate that fact the company’s released an infographic telling you all sorts of things about the game you would otherwise not even care remotely care about. Did you know, for example, that you’d have to slay 119,050 mudcrabs to reach level 50? No? Well you do now!

Here’s the infographic, snipped up in to 3 easily digestible slices for your consumption. Click to embiggen, or see the whole thing in one image, here.

The Elder Scrolls online is one of those rare, subscription-based MMO’s that asks you to spend over R400 for 60 days worth of access – and that’s after you’ve paid the price of a retail title for the privilege of the game itself. For some though, it’s worth it.

Bethesda’s Pete Hines certainly thinks the subscription is valid. Speaking to Games.on, Hines defended the game’s seemingly antiquated model.

“If we’re providing the kind of content people want to see where they’re like ‘This is awesome, I’m having a blast, this new stuff is totally worth it and I’m having fun’, then the subscription totally works,” he said. “If we’re putting out stuff that doesn’t make a case for it then we have a problem on our hands and we have failed to meet that value proposition.”

Are you playing The Elder Scrolls Online? From a South African standpoint, I hope you picked it up on disc, because apparently the client download is very, very slow going at the moment.

    Is that R400 every 60 days or after 60 days it will cost say R40 to renew? Nevertheless, they will get NIKS from me!

        I read somewhere that to play it for it for a year would cost just over R2000 including purchase.

            If that’s the only thing you play, or you go through less than a game a month, that’s alright.

      Precisely! My Diablo 3 RoS COLLECTORS was R899 and it is free to play there after.

      This is just not worth the price. I wouldn’t even pay the game price not even to mention the subscription.

      So many nopes

    Played the BETA and well it is an MMO… Nothing much more interesting from the rest.

    The fact that I not only have to pay for the game, but ALSO have to pay a sub makes me one of the many that have opted not to play it.

      That’s probably the hardest review I’ve ever read.

      “…and well it is an MMO…”

      Ouch man. That’s rough. Seriously. You can’t hurt an MMO more than by calling it “just an MMO”. Implies so much.

        😛 I am well known for my content in my reviews!

        It felt like GW2 IMO which I bought and well now I don’t play, because it bores me. The only MMO that really pulled me in after my WoW years was The Secret World.

        I think nowadays you need something to set you apart and I think the brand of The Elder Scrolls is going to be enough to do that. I don’t want them to fail and wish them all the success, but I don’t think it is going to be successful.

        In the end… Each to his own.

        lol! I tried to uninstall it and it completed the process and then saw that it just removed the icon. I had to manually delete the 30GB of the actual game… xD

        Meh for this, but let me say I am still excited for another SP Elder Scrolls game like the others. They are exceptional!
