The game will not follow the Free-to-Play trend.

Speaking to EDGE magazine, the analyst Nicholas Lovell from Gamesbrief, said it is very likely that Zenimax Online, the developer of the title, will use a monthly subscription model will add new features from the Free Free-to-Play to be released later , as many of the current MMORPGs are currently doing.

“I still believe that monthly subscriptions are the best solution for this kind of games,” said Lovell. “It is quite likely that Bethesda will begin using a monthly subscription model to attract as many players as possible during the launch of the title.”

“There are many iOS  games that have started to use a payment method but then move on to become freemium models. Electronic Arts continues to struggle with The Old Republic, but most games are free to adopt this model. ”

EDGE has learned that the development of The Elder Scrolls Online began in 2007, when patterns of monthly subscription payments were commonplace. The Elder Scrolls Online is expected on PC and Mac during 2013.
