Guilds are still an important part of an MMO experience. Some games, such as ESO, do have more solo content than older MMO's. But group-only content is still a big part of the endgame even in ESO and nothing beats the fun you can have while workin…
First, brief background on me. I have played all of the major TES games since 1994, and been following ESO sine it announcement in May of 2012 and formed the ESO branch of our guild in January 2013. As I have a fulltime job and also work as a volu…
I just saw ESO available for $30 on Steam.
I've been enjoying ESO since launch and it was certainly worth buying for me, but everyone will have their own opinion. It continues to improve and there is a lot left in the pipeline, such as the Thieves…
I happen to run a large guild of more than 360 members, so the less than perfect LFG/LFM tools have not been as much of an issue for us. Knowing that if I was not in a guild it would be different, I would have given a lower social score than Bill d…
If you were in a previous ESO beta, I would assume you are also invited to this stress test unless you broke NDA or otherwise misbehaved. So try and login to the official ESO beta forums and if you can, you should be good for this weekend's test, s…
Exactly, nothing in the Imperial Edition is essential to gameplay at all. Everyone can learn Imperial crafting, the horse is simply a different color (same stats as other in-game horses), the pet is a vanity item, and the race is something that we …
Until release, ZOS can change the game as much as they like, as it is not even finished yet. So talk about what they told us a year ago, is just that, talk before they had finalized the design. Anyone preordering is of course taking the small risk…
Many good observations and opinions in this thread.
Skyrim sold at least 20 million copies according to official Bethsoft quotes. I'm not sure how many players Warcraft had prior to its becoming an MMO. You could say that ESO will be a lot more l…
Game looks great! Did you see the Elder Scroll capture message from activity elsewhere in the world? That indicates that this wasn't some special 4-person server just for the video, the server had others online playing, likely during a beta sessio…
I will be playing ESO and am bringing over my guild to this game, and I hope to make it my home for a decade. Why?
For MMO players like us who like the Elder Scrolls world but prefer to have it in a social environment, this is the game. The graph…
I don't think there is much exaggeration when comparing how much two MMORPG's can differ.
For instance, we have 2006's DDO that I no longer play, whereupon it had 100 hotbar slots at launch, and years later, due to fan demand they increased that ca…
I thought that I heard about a respec mechanic in a previous interview. In any event, it's looking great and the ability to continue to progress your skills after level 50 is also nice.
