Yea Grats to UO have been here all 21 years , what a great journey , Still the best MMORPG to date imo ..

Its been reported by many players that they did get the exp but didnt even log in or attempt the Achievment in ESO , weirds right .. Nice looking expansion and GJ to the players that did complete it .. But something is off with there report of 100% of Players..

Much respect to Bethesda for hooking up that kid ... We need more stories like that in this fucked up world ....


Looking forward to Wow classic but i can wait , my plate is overflowing with games atm ....

Nice Job Bill

Obvious marketing tool to get people on the fence about Summerset to buy the expansion. They knew this 100% goal would be met lol....one way or the other.

TLDR version for people who hate watching videos

1) Ultimate Online is 21, <insert bad joke here>, maybe one day we’ll get a decent successor, like LOA (LOL)
2) ESO had some sort of summer event which gives bunch of free stuff if some percentage which may or may not be 100% of players participate.
3) Fallout 76 beta starts Oct 23 rd XboxOne, PC/PS4 Oct 30th, game goes live Nov 16th. Calling it a beta, really just a marketing/streaming scam, keys floating around somewhere.  Fallout Devs get big props for granting a dying boys wish to play FO76 and brought it to his house. (Big tears)
4) WOW team announces  those who buy Blizzcon virtual passes can download WOW classic demo. Save money, play Classic, skip Blizzon.
5) BDO expansion with 3K quests and new dragon world bosses, releases same day as FO 76, total conincidence.  MMORPG will be sucking up and covering it in more details.

See how much more effiecient that is?

I hate videos. Your work is greatly appreciated. Just to add, the ESO event was not for 100% of the players, it was to get enough people to do it to get the random number ZOS said they picked. Also, you didn't have to even do the event as long as enough other people did it, you get the rewards. And as a footnote, yeah it's just a marketing ploy. Most likely the "percentages" each day were already planned out, the 100% was a guarantee.

Me too.  I prefer text so I can quickly scan it and find the relevant and interesting information I'm looking for.  Much easier to scroll through text to find a specific piece of information than trying to pan through a video.

I knew I wasn't the only one....only watched this because it mentioned being only 6 minutes long.

thanks for the great video Bill.

Fallout 76, starts on console, not a great beginning. WoW classic, still wondering if "classic" will fundamentally change the way players want to play MMOs, as yet time out.

I thought the joke about UO being 21 was fine, Bill should not feel this needs to be a comedy masterclass, it is not for any other game reviewer. All they do is silly faces and jump up ad down in their chairs like two year olds throwing a tantrum.

I do something else while making a few mental notes of what I am going to post, with Bill at least I don't have to turn the sound down as the reviewer makes a total arse of himself.
