    None, because I don't leave games for a cash grab with sub and a microtransactions store that has no raid content or end game PVE besides quest grinding and zerging in RvR.

    Dota 2. 

     

     

     

     

    Kidding! I can never leave Dota ;D

    Mission in life: Vanquish all MMORPG.com trolls - especially TESO, WOW and GW2 trolls.

    Then you should vote "Show me the results" because "none" means you play ESO without leaving some other mmo :)

    After playing the beta many times, I couldn t see any reason to leave my MMO now, for TESO. I ll just load up Skyrim for that, and play GW2 WvW/planetside2/DAOC, etc for the 3 faction stuff.

    And I would stick with those games. Since they both have dynamic PVP. Also this game will prob go F2P in less than a year. Right now the game is riddled with a crap load of bugs so by then they should be fixed. Unless they pull an Age of Conan.

    I was lucky enough to get a free copy from a friend that got two by mistake. So while i am not a paying customer i am trying it out a bit. It does look like i will not be renewing it.

     

    But i can not say that i left any game for it, especially as i am not a one game type of person but have a few MMO´s and a slew of SP games that are in different stages of play-through.

     

    Still my opinion stands... It is a good game for what they try to do... But it does sort of straddle the fence, not really a Full out themepark but at them same time not really a sandbox either.

    This have been a good conversation

    Oh, I plan to. I honestly found TESO as one of the most amateur, boring, lackluster attempts at an MMO, I ve ever experienced. It truly is that bad IMO.

    Once they iron out the bugs I am sure the game will be fun for many people. I just don't see reason enough for box sale+sub +possible cash shop?  to play .   As many have already said, I believe it will go f2p soon enough and then I might pick it up.

    I played the beta weekends and the combat animations were horrid and the combat movement/engagement was so clunky it felt like it would be better with a console controller. I think this game is aimed more towards consoles imo.

    None, because I am waiting for this to go F2P in a year or so <3.

    none, I don't leave games for other games
  • spizzspizz Member UncommonPosts: 1,971
    None - because most of the new released mmos in the last years were just a flop.
  • Agent_JosephAgent_Joseph Member UncommonPosts: 1,361

    it is too much early for that poll,wait for 2  -3 months ... with current game status most players ll back to some old mmo.

    None. Eso would have made for a great sandbox... Played the beta, mmo-wise thought it was rather disappointing. As an ES game it was even worse. Everyone wants these new releases to be great, myself included. Ide love a new game to call home for the next decade. Sadly for me AA is my only hope this year

    Didn't leave anything.  Still playing EQ2 for my raiding / challenge/ endgame type gameplay.  Playing ESO because it's new and shiny and for doing solo / small-group stuff.

    All you need is include "it will got F2P" in that sentene and you have a standard hater post.

    I'm leaving gw2 for this, burned out of the game, so many things could be improved and it takes so damn long for anything to change because they keep adding more living story, otherwise they won't make enough money.

    never understood why they consider playing another game means they've left another game. I play any game that interests me, that's it in a nutshell. I never leave any of them, I still feel a part of them and return to many of them.

    Same.

    So, let me get this straight, from your recent post history, you really don't like this game. Why, all of a sudden, would it become playable if it were F2P? Personally, if I don't think a game is worth paying a sub for it, it's probably not worth my time if it F2P either.

    I hate show me the results options. It messes up the percentages and is annoying. If none of the options apply to you, don't vote and move on.

    Since it was not one of the selections, I left Aion.  It was a great PVEVP game and now has gone to ####.  I played it since July 2009 Beta and finally hung up my Polearm 5 weeks ago when I started prepping to play TESO.  I stopped in last week and was blown away by the lack of people actually logged in.

    I'm still playing SWTOR and have not bought TESO yet. May be in the future but right now I am waiting for all the bugs and other alarming things to get fixed. So none.

    totally agree and i will take it one step further. people that don't feel a game is good so they wait until it becomes free to play, only to be a restricted gimped version of the game they already didn't like?

    maybe these people actually think that if this game did become F2P they wouldn't restrict it and just throw out the sub?

    if this game did become F2P it will very likely be heavily restricted, forcing you to spend money or sub.

    that's what makes F2P games profitable. the games that don't have highly restrictive F2P models are craptatic failures or far older games.

    even all the SOE F2P games are heavily restricted.

    IMO the only good thing about F2P options is to serve as a free trial or for people who cannot afford a sub at that time.

    hopefully ESO has a free trial at some point so people that are on the fence can try it for more than a day or two in beta to see if they like it.
