IF there is something complicated to be done in a questline that would be beyond all measure of reason to complete, it will be handed to you on a silver platter.

IF there is something so simple and obvious that needs to be done along the questline, it will be muddied up and made unnecessarily complicated.

There really is no other way.

    The third truth of MMOs is that for any given feature, there will be someone on some forum complaining about it because they're not happy with it for some reason.

    Probably because MMO is normally not the whole abbreviation, because ESO is a MMORPG.

    I find that if there is a final destination it is at the top of a cliff with me standing just below and I have to run half way across the zone to get there. I don't want to declare it a truth for all though, it might be just me.

    Fifth Truth of MMOs.

    A ) PVP is the most important part of the game and does not get enough resources spent on it.

    B ) Group Content is the most important part of the game and does not get enough resources spent on it.

    C ) Solo Play is bad for the game too many resources are spent on it and everyone should play as group A or group B.

    Edit: Point B was coming out as B)

    You can not turn off flashes, splashes, and cool stroboscopic effects
    Also most of MMOs nowadays ignore color-blind players

    "MMO" is said like a three letter acronym.

    "MMOG" people will try to pronounce and sound like someone stuttering.

    Simple marketing. :smile:

    But, as previously stated, "MMO" is the short form that drops the important part, including "Game".

    Another truth about MMORPGs is that there is always a back exit that, if the player had known about, would have avoided a half an hour of plowing through mobs to kill the boss.

    Sounds more like a short murloc growl?

    Two truths and a lie about MMOs:

    1. Players can create their own heroes and go on adventures in a imaginary world full of magic, mystery, and wonders. They can also come across other players there and help each other go into the deadliest dungeons defeating monsters.
    2. There are many types and genres of MMOs
    3. The most popular MMO game of all time is Elderscrolls which was released sometime in the 1990s and has over 100 million players since.
