I should also add for those commenting on the permadeath and aging as being a poor design, I believe the ENTIRE community who have been funding it have been well aware of that fact from the outset, and we all like it. It's different. It's cool. Anyo…
Personally I've watched the development of many MMOs including titles such as Star Citizen. The latter sadly was rushed and despite massive funding, on my last encounter, dismally failed to meet expectations. One day it may well get there, but it is…
Have any of you guys actually READ the CoE design?
This isn't the run of the mill MMO where everyone is invulnerable, requires no food, tools, shelter etc. Let's go by history. We've ALL seen countless MMOs where "gold selling" has been declared il…
lol it's a funny idea but Elyria
isn't your normal game. A "bot" is effectively no different to an OPC or
NPC for that matter. They only way they will get lots of resources is
the same way we will, and they will be paying for each and every…
Look up Chronicles of Elyria then. First of it's kind as far as I can tell. There's aging, eventual permadeath, then you play as your heir, if you want to and assuming you have one etc...
Distinct lack of good games out at the mo. I did hear rumours there will one day be an actual sequel to Skyrim though. Epic!
In the meantime, I'm planning to try and get an MMO and Skyrim fix all in one. There's a game called Chronicles of Elyria. …

It's not P2W it's Pay to GM.
Epic fail reading. You should frame this and hang in on the wall.
When you're done follow the link and try to read it this time.
"As I see it: paying people to play the game for you, is not the same thing as paying the game to give you an advantage (Whatever that advantage may be). "
That is debatable... In fact paying people to play it for you is…

I would say it is P2W. I also understand that it's also startup money. I think it's a ripoff to those buying because there will be organized guilds who will take everything you bought. Not to mention we don't even k…

WOW - they hype is real for CoE - players bought it hook, line and sinker. It is a P2W game - period. Buying an advantage is P2W. You can slice it any way you want to but piece of coal is still just a piece of coal and this game…

So, anyone can lose anything at anytime. Explain yourself, considering the other CoE thread where the developers said that a GM mode is available for big-money players. How are they going to lose that? I do not know what abiliti…

Buying souls over and over till you get one that gives you the advantage you are looking for. IMO that can be seen as P2W. When your money gives you an advantage over the next guy in combat I am not sure what else to call that.

I wont go into all of your post but will just say much of what you state as fact is HIGHLY subjective and therefore only opinions and not facts. I would even say your first post is misleading. Just take this sentence:

It's unfortunate, but there seems to be a bit of misinformation going around from a small number of people, who have some pretty strange views.
I'd suggest this: DON'T take anyone's word on it here. Go to the official forums: https://chroniclesofel…
If you're someone who only wants to play a game where he has the option to pay for a permanent advantage, then I don't think this is the game for you.
As I said, Elyria is not pay to win.
