Console Players - If World of Warcraft came to console, would you quit ESO?

    I voted other. I think I'd switch to FFXIV if that came to Xbox.

    Star Trek and Neverwinter are already on Xbox and I played Star Trek for a long time on PC and couldn't bare the idea of starting from the very beginning again, but I would for FFXIV.

    I'm here because of the TES LORE not because it's an MMO, though the socialising while in Tamriel is a major plus.

    Elder scrolls lore owns my heart. I may not understand the inner workings of Zenimax and eso... but I love the game. :p

    Me personally I am way to busy IRL to worry about WoW or ESO to a large scale... I might play both from time to time but not dedicate myself to one or the other.... I barely have time for ESO: Online except on the weekends and even that may end up being limited sometimes lol.
    Follow your path to success, don't follow into the shadows.

    WoW needs a proper coin shop, so out dated. I need fun costumes, convenience items and xp scrolls to blow real money on.

    I'd switch to Star Wars galaxies in a heartbeat if it were still alive. Unfortunately, that game was run down in the gutter. That's what happens when devs don't listen to the community and do there own thing :(

    ESO is my first MMO, and I enjoyed Skyrim so much, and I may even purchase this recent Skyrim for PS4 sometime in the near or distance future, and may even dab into Fallout 4. Despite ESO being decent for the most part, there is just to many *beep*hole players you run into in dungeons and trials and even in guilds and other bs you have to put up with. This is just like social media in online video gaming. I have since turned off text chats. There are just too many immature, and at times, toxic craps and negative statements/conversation going on. Just personally, I can't get into another MMO. The negative experience in ESO has wreck it for me to ever want to get into another MMO game. Just one guy's opinion and experience here.

    I play eso because it is an elder scrolls game - not because its an mmo.

    So no. I like eso.

    Its happens to be the only mmo ive ever played that i enjoyed - but also the only one ive paid for, so the free to play games ive played probably arent as good... but the wow free trial bored me

    I love WoW and it will be the best game and best MMORPG for me forever but you can't play WoW on console, you never will. The whole game is too complex and the fighting too "specific" to work on console.

    WoW was always too cartoony looking for me. If AC was re-skinned with 2015 graphics on console I'd be there. I'd probably split my time between ESO though

    If Blizzard were to port over vanilla WOW with updated graphics to Xbox One then i would play that in a heartbeat.
    The main reason is because it looks like ZOS is more concerned about selling crowns than they are about making awesome content for the player base.

    I was in WoW at it's inception. The reason it became popular is because no other massive online rp'ing game would let you mod it's UI at that time. So kinda defeats the only good thing WoW had going to go console, lolz. In WoW's defense I loved the dinosaur zone and will remember it as my all time fav zone only because of the gigantic t-rex that came up out of no wheres on you. The only time I truly got jump scared inside an mmo and did not see it coming.

    LOTRO just has to do something with it's character creation and maybe get a better company than Turbine for me to consider them. I say this in all sadness because I am a fan of large made worlds.

    Did GW2 already got bored.

    Did FFXIV found it very boring.

    Miss FFXI but that is nostalgia talking. It had copy and paste scenery in larger areas that erked me.

    Everquest - forever questing and questing and... nope, not going back. Crafting a form of torture.

    Dungeons and Dragons Online - updates ruined it. Once again - Turbine.

    Neverwinter is on console but - again questing. And PWI is just Turbine in another barbaloot suit.

    Bethesda pulls the lead in solid company and their faith in ZOS was well put. But it IS A RP'ING GAME not a Dark Souls experience. I think some peeps need to chillax a bit.

    As for Dark Souls omg hot pokers to the eyeballs would be less painful and a whole lot quicker.

    Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen was an orgzm but it's over now. I know every blade of grass in that game like the back of my hand. And it is for console cause does a wide screen tv royal justice.

    Otherwise, I do not play space games, fright games, or games where you are a human. So here I stay with no one to lure me away.

    Swtor is the game man I recently went back to it am loving it and if they put it on xbox I wouldn't play anything else.For a long time.

    Also Op I feel like some PC layers voted as well.

    The main thing is that Consoles need more MMO they need competition but that competition will hurt eso,the MMO that we have I wouldn't call quality 1 or 2 MMO that is polished and has a lot of content is needed .I know many people don't want to admit this but if it wasn't for console this game would have went F2P or worst by now.

    First & so far only MMO. And still enjoying it immensely after over year on the PS4. Still not finished everything but do have 11 characters....... Don't play anything else at the moment as no other games grab me - no rpgs, not even upgraded Skyrim. For all its faults, it has my loyalty.

    But - might be slightly tempted by LOTRO. But then I am an utter Tolkien neek. Did try it once on an old pc but just found the multiplicity of servers confusing and did not like playing with a keyboard.

    I like the lore of Elder Scrolls... and I've already sunk quite a few hours so I'd mostly do this.

    I tried DCU (when it released to Xbox) and thought it was fun... but it's extremely pay to play/win it seems in the end game.

    Have been dabbling a bit with Star Wars TOR and man, if they could get this to console, I'd have a hard time saying no to it. Loved the original KOTOR's, and although I'd have to pay to get access to certain things, it'd be hard for me to pass up. Being a massive Star Wars fan isn't helping. :D

    Own PC and console. I think I qualify because I'm buying TESO for my Xbone. Setup lets peeps come over and play console on widescreen. Popcorn, soda. Film noir nite wasn't working (opinionated) so we're going back to games. One person plays while the others watch and criticize. Running Fallout now. Last night we piped Flight of the Valkyries and other stuff while my buddy jumped off buildings to get the glitch where you bounce up and fly like superman. Timing to the music was essential.

    So yeah I voted. And only ogres have layers! *just pulling your leg know you meant playrs*

    Didn't you hear - if you play one game, you must profess true love to that game and hate all others (as well as make fun of anyone who plays anything else).

    Anyways - I don't MMO on console (controls / UI in MMOs / RPGs ported / built for consoles tend to suck - like ESOs), but I do play games such as WoW from time to time on the PC.

    For me on a PC, WoW just works (combat is fluid and without and lag or latency) as well as Blizzard continues to add content (including major expansions and end-game) - though the style / aesthetic is a bit cartoony (graphics wise it is as updated as any MMO) and because I've played it off and on for almost ten years, it can get old fast leading me to take breaks.

    I've also dabbled in GW2 (didn't click for me), Rift (been a while - not a bad game but fairly small, story / lore is pretty basic, had issues with ability lag), Black Desert (seemed more like a grinder / cash shop grab - lost interest the first day), SWTOR (great story / leveling content, much improved performance wise from its launch iteration, some nice end-game content though nothing new end-game wise for two expansion with level cap increases and gear resets leaves little for long time players other than grind gear to run old content).

    Have tried even more games over the years, most just didn't have anything compelling to hold my interest or had a style that just turned me off (and honestly I never would have even tried WoW were it not for an RL friend begging and cajoling me).

    The only MMO that would ever make me quit ESO and any other game for that matter would be EVE Online on consoles. I'm a sucker for Space games and we don't have any good MMOs with this theme for PS4 yet. I don't see EVE ever getting a console version though. Elite Dangerous is out for Xbox so I am patiently waiting for that.

    Dragon's Dogma DA one of the most underrated games from last gen. I think Capcom did themselves no favours with the demo they released as I initially played the demo and loathed it. Picked the DA version up a year or 2 later in the sales for peanuts and loved every minute of it.
