Bethesda Studios has released Elder Scroll Online's 1.3.3 update as the debate over the game's subscription price continues.

"Back when online games were young, people would go online and make online game friends in their games," Trion Worlds CEO Scott Hartsman, an MMO game specialist, said during a recent interview with IGN.

"When you're in a subscription game, the barrier was you had to get one person to subscribe to the game and then they'd play, make friends and stick around. What we're seeing these days is as more people are coming online and more people are playing, people travel in packs. They want to play games with their friends. When they travel in packs like this, you need the lowest barriers possible in order to get the biggest success."

Elder Scrolls Online's 1.3.3 update includes characters, classes and gameplay features.

Among these changes are armor dye stations, new achievements, weapons and guild traders.

Elder Scrolls Online character Sheogorath, the Prince of Madness encountered in Skyrim, is the same character from the Shivering Isles, highlighting the only time a player has ever returned, Escapist Magazine reports.

Bethesda Studios made a recent public job posting on their website  that may hint at an upcoming Elder Scrolls VI release date.

"Bethesda Game Studios is looking for experienced programmers to work on cutting-edge technology for an unannounced game on future-generation consoles," the company writes on its site.

ZeniMax Studios is working to correct "grindy" problems beginning with balance changes in post-level 50 zones, Polygon reports.

Rumors are speculating developers will leak more information about Xbox One Beta version classes, features and gameplay at the upcoming QuakeCon 2014 conference.Bethesda Softworks' latest console move is "questionable," according to a Guardian Liberty Voice review of Elder Scrolls Online .

"Overall, The Elder Scrolls Online is being seen as a disappointment by the target customer group," the website writes.

"A platform  shift for a game that is largely viewed as a flop can be an expensive and risky endeavor. ZeniMax has announced that it plans on making the game available on gaming consoles sometime during the fall and winter months, but the decision to do so is questionable."

Elder Scrolls Online's Imperial Edition price break ended on June 6, bringing the game's price down nearly 50 percent.

Does this represent a failure on the developers end?

Elder Scrolls Online's Update 2 is a "step in the right direction" because of new weapons features, PC Games N opines.

"The slider can manage an FOV of between 70 and 130, and can be found in the first-person section of the 'Camera' menu in Settings. FOV settings will be saved to the character you happen to be playing at that time," the website writes in a review.

"Weapons and armor found in the world can now be picked up and equipped.

They're sort of a last resort - low quality, and sellable for 0 gold. But they can be upgraded for crafting, or deconstructed for a low inspiration yield."
