As someone with over 300 hours in Final Fantasy 14 in the last year thanks to the free trial, I can attest to how the right MMO can dig its claws in you. If you're new to the genre like I was with FF14, you need a lot of time to understand the systems and mechanics these massive games are known for, and the dedication of a monthly subscription isn't good for that. Elder Scrolls Online already doesn't require a sub, but if you're still hesitant to put down the asking price, a new QuakeCon event gives you some time to try the game for free.
