Should ESO have yearly Fan Convention Events?

I have always been fond of game companies who hold fan events for their fans to be a part of in real life, all the cool costumes, the cool goodie bags they give, the other players you can meet in real life, and the great details of upcoming expansions and content. What say you all?
Do you think ESO should have a Fan Convention Event every year?
Comments
I voted YES.... I would have chose 'absolutely' if it was available
I'd consider going to a Bethesda fan convention.
Probably not if it were just for ESO.
FWIW, they do have a sort of convention. QuakeCon is basically Bethesda-fest every year now, because they own id.
Try to be excellent to everyone you meet. You never know what someone else has seen or endured.

I do Blizzcon every year since they provided that service. Living on the East Coast just makes the trip to be there in person tedious.
I had friends (before I disowned them for their poor taste) that paid that much for a single viewing of the next big WWF event.
I get a digital goodie out of my ticket as well. They get a living room that smells of mansweat and cheap beer.
I win.
Well.... Hopefully one day they'll throw some TV commercial's in there for you.

if they guarantee me it will be womansweat then i'd go in person just for the convention experience. Otherwise i stick to the online service too.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
yes.
The good.
Same happend with FF XIV ARR.
Go to the forums and you'll see it's all good now.
But before the game launched......hate everywhere.
Like SWTOR.

Realistically, both will probably be surprised. I disagree with some of the decisions Zenimax has made (I really dislike the Imperial race tied to CE) but still gave the game a chance over two beta weekends. It never hooked me, so I won't be picking it up. Just not my thing. That doesn't mean I don't think it will sell a ton of copies, but then only retain like 10-20% with subs.
Personally, I believe the console market will be what pushes ESO into B2P with a cash shop. When sub numbers are hurting really badly on consoles (I believe the sub retention on consoles will be terrible) and they realize they can make way more money with a cash shop, it will happen.
I think PC retention will probably be a little higher than that. Even TOR retained substantially more than that, and ESO (while having a similar heavy emphasis on story) does a better job of pretty much every non-narrative element of the game. As for the console market, I agree. I don't see the kind of people who would choose to play an MMO on a console being very likely to embrace a subscription. But I could be wrong, I haven't looked up how FFXIV's population breaks down between PC and PS3.

I love the armchair devs saying MMO's wont fly on consoles. Like console gamers dont spend money or something. Half of them already have to pay just to even play any game online at all, and its a medium that is extremely difficult and risky to pirate games on. As opposed to PC which is flooded with crazy basement dwelling torrent fiends who whine when any game isnt free, they probably steal F2P MMO clients just out of habbit without realizing they dont even have to. Yes that's hyperbole, I know you probably didnt get that.
The only reasoning I ever see for console gamers not wanting to pay an MMO sub fee. "They dont know what an MMO is, they've never had to pay it before." Everyone has a friend who plays WoW, any gamer knows what they are. Theres not this huge great disparity between the two mediums like PC gamers would have you to believe. That console gamers all just drunken frat boys passing around a controler looking at Lara Crofts tits.
In all seriousness, ESO will do fine, it should do fine on consoles.
Its not gonna stop hate or fan bois though, thankfully, thats probably the only reason to come to these forums.
i dont think ESO at that point to have it own convention yet.
blizzard have they own because it containt all 3 of their game WOW, diablo and star craft. i think ES only compare to 1 of those.
