As of my latest knowledge, The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO) does not require a mandatory monthly subscription fee to play. The game follows a buy-to-play (BTP) model, meaning you only need to purchase the base game (or latest chapter/expansion) to access the majority of content without ongoing fees. Optional Subscription: ESO Plus However, ESO offers an optional premium membership called ESO Plus, which includes: Access to all DLCs (except the latest Chapter/Expansionyou must buy that separately). Crowns (1,650 per month, ESO's premium currency). Unlimited Crafting Bag (a huge convenience for inventory management). Double Bank & Housing Space. Bonus XP & Gold Gain (+10% each). Exclusive Discounts & Rewards. Price (as of 2024): 14.99/month (USD) Discounts for longer commitments (e.g., 3 or 6 months). Do You Need ESO Plus? No, but its highly recommended for serious players due to the Crafting Bag and DLC access. You can still buy DLCs separately with Crowns (earned or purchased) if you prefer not to subscribe. Latest Chapters (Expansions) The most recent major expansion (e.g., Necrom in 2023) must be purchased separately, even with ESO Plus. However, past chapters (like High Isle) become part of ESO Plus after a new one releases. Would you like details on current promotions or the best way to start playing?

Venture into the depths of Azeroth itself in this groundbreaking expansion. Face new threats emerging from the planet's core, explore mysterious underground realms, and uncover secrets that will reshape your understanding of the Warcraft universe forever.
The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
