ESO keeps me playing because...

Xellos77

I'm simply curious as to why people continue to play ESO.

My start in the ES series began with Morrowind and I fell in love at the start. Nothing I had ever experienced was like it. I played Daggerfall and a bit of Arena. I put countless hundreds of hours in every title released since Morrowind and the lore is incredible.

ESO kept me going for about 6 months. I took 6 different characters all through the EP story line (yes, 6 freaking times) and found I played my highest level character the least. Group content, I found, was lacking and it's what I look for in an MMO. I anxiously await the day when more "raid" (Trails or the like) type activities become available and maybe return.

My question to you, dear reader, is: what keeps you playing?

Ra'Shtar

The dungeons/Trials/group content.

Also the DLCs, the ever growing world, lore, crafting (i love all of the crafting styles and how more are getting added slowly) and most importantly the connection i made in this game with my friends and even my ex lol.

The lore/RP.

It is hard to pick one category over some of the others, but ultimately I play the game because of the expansive lore and the opportunity to RP to my heart's content. That said, interaction with other players can be pretty entertaining!

I think that 'discovery' within the game, whether via gradual progression or through DLCs, and the combat, crafting or trading that develops from that definitely keeps me interested.

All I really need is a smile, smile, smile!

On topic: For me, it's the atmosphere and lore along with the friends I started with and the friends I'll be making along the way. The community is very welcoming.

Its an OK game for killing time before Legion/BD/Bless/Division. I might consider it to be more if it wasnt for the absurd magicka/stamina situation.

The PvP.
The PvE.
The whole lore.
The RNG/gearing up/getting BiS.
The new DLCs.
The upcoming changes (I'm not looking at you, negative nerfs to Templars!... )
The fun in general.

I just can't wait til console get text chat though.

wen this game lounch I brought my guild from another game to eso, only one is still playing eso and it is for her that I'm still here.

Xellos77

The anticipated upcoming changes/DLC/patches.

Although I'm not currently playing ESO (found a new love of FFXIV) I still do continuously check up on things to stay in touch with the state of affairs.

Once real endgame becomes a part of ESO I think it'll become a wonderful MMO in it's own right. For now, it's far too much of a single player RPG with a smattering of MMO frosting. If I wanted a single player RPG, I'd go play Witcher 3 again.

I love the ES series and ESO, but it needs to take off its training wheels.

Discord_Days

The lore/RP.

I'm playing because the lore is awesome and most quests are very well made. Also trying to get all achievements (in for example a public dungeon) is sometimes a challenge for me, and I like that.

Now I just need to make some friends in-game...

Hm, actually I would have to choose several of those, so I chose "other", because I cannot decide, which of those ones offered I would prefer, I like crafting, role play, exploration and combat in small bursts (means not too long, not too repetitive and not too stressful - yes, carebear-mode).

jbcrocks

The combat/PvP.

The euphoria of killing other people.

I keep playing because of the whole PvE gameplay which I consider to be exceptional. ESO is my long term MMO home and has been since PC launch.

Dakrana_Thrazvoth

How you can costumize your character builds, building up theorycrafting, etc.

Knootewoot

The combat/PvP.

I mainly play PvP. I will do PvE in a new zone, but probably only once.

Vrienda

The anticipated upcoming changes/DLC/patches.

The lore and upcoming solo content expansions (I probably won't bother with Murkmire or any other Craglorn-esque zones).

Oh and every now and then I level an alt.
