I agree that it will eventually go F2P, but you're delusional if you think it will go F2P that quickly. The game will sell well enough that box sales will keep them in the sub model for a little while. After playing the game some more this weekend I am fairly confident that it is going to be a pretty big hit early on, but it's subscriber numbers are going to fall pretty quickly. However, it will also be a good enough game that it will keep selling to the mainstream crowd on consoles for a decent while, even if they only play for the first month. The problem that the game is going to run into is that it is going to be primarily a questing focused MMO, and questing focused MMO's don't really retain an avid community large enough for a subscription in my experience. I expect the subscriber audience for the game is going to be comprised of super hardcore Elder Scrolls fans, and super casual MMO players that don't really group up much.
