This game won't be shut down for a very long time, I know some Korean MMOs that are STILL kicking at bare minimum players and receive a good influx during peak times like summer and new version launches.
By the time this game croaks you'll have had the chance to obtain everything you could want x1000

Many game companies have released their game code-base after the end of the game life-cycle.
ZOS could easily release the server side code-base to allow people to play offline (running a local server) or setup their own public servers.
I somehow doubt that will ever happen though ...

Usually the death knell is sounding well before the company ever "shuts the lights off" on an MMO, and as I've done many times in the past, when that time comes, it's time to explore other MMORPG options.
The only MMO I've ever stayed with until the very last day, was Star Wars Galaxies. That was truly an amazing MMO, and I was very sad to see that one go. I was there from day 1, and was one of those many players that they had to forcefully boot off the system in order to shut off the servers. That was one MMO I really didn't want to let go of.
While I greatly enjoy ESO, it doesn't hold anywhere hear the magic (for me at least) as SWG did. By the time ESO is ready to shut down for good, I will be well involved in the next MMO.
That's not me hating on ESO or ZOS. That's just the nature of the MMORPG industry.
I agree on the "magic of your first MMO" psychology.Knootewoot wrote: »Uriel_Nocturne wrote: »I plan on being deeply involved in some other MMO before the ESO servers shut off.

That "magic" is for most players only available in their first mmo. For me that was also SWG. Not from day 1 due to exams back then, but December 2003 I started by journey. Also until the very end. I still have contact with a few people from the old Eclipse server on Steam and in SWG emu.
I never found the same magic in any other mmo. Maybe a bit of it in Vanguard though.
I still like ESO, and I look forward to Morrowind and the future. But I also already backed Pantheon because that looks like a neat PvE mmo for me.
