I just recruited our first NW refugee. Some guy was asking for WB help in Apocrypha. I could tell he was new because when I asked if he had a daily quest he had no idea what I meant. I couldn't do the big seeker on my own so my guild mates descended on Apocrypha like an angry swarm. Posted the guild in chat and rode away. He joined immediately. NW convert. He's been very active and I hope he'll bring friends. You never know who might be asking for help in chat and it never hurts to spare 5 minutes.

Edit for missing sentence

EXACTLY THIS!!! Thank you friend!! Thats why I don't like this negative propaganda where everything is doom and gloom and "there are no good options" etc.

We still have some good options, ESO is one of them. And my favorite. And there are plenty of people who need to find it and will enjoy it.

Is the game perfect? Is it what every player is looking for? No.

But it's THE BEST for multiple categories, and those people are out there.

There has never been a worse time to get invested into ESO. More than half their staff has been laid off in the last six months, just for starters.

Sadly this is what most major corps are doing to their staff. We all talked about this coming, we all knew what AI was going to incentivize evil companies to do. We are just finally seeing it in massive waves.

I'd honestly be embarrassed to actually recommend ESO to anyone in its current state, and without any real knowledge of what's in the pipeline next year and beyond.

Except perhaps for a player looking for a mostly solo questing and exploration experience, in which case the base game on sale is well worth it.

Everyone is different. But embarrassed is a bit extreme.

There are plenty of veteran level issues, or company level issues.

But being able to recognize that ESO is still a game which has amazing potential for a brand new player and could net them an insane amount of hours of joy. Just because some of us who have enjoyed thousands of hours are upset or jaded now... Isn't quite a fair assessment.

A new player isn't going to join and be like "OMG! I cant stand this sub-classing thing changing what im used to!" They are just going to play the game how it's set currently, and enjoy the world, story, VA etc. Like we did.

I know several people who were excited to play New World when it launched and none of them were interested in PvP. They only mentioned it when assuring friends they were trying to get to play that you could turn it off and never have to worry about it.

Most were former WoW players who got burned out on that game and have been looking for something which gives them the same feeling WoW did when they started, but somehow with less committment because they're all older and have less free time now. I don't think any of them stuck around more than a few months.

Yeah this makes sense, I think most of us who played New World for a long time/serious. Were PvP centric folk

I approve of this message. Anything that is Anti Amazon and anti P2W

But also good points I mostly agree

Grab your pitchfork! We ride at dawn! xD

A truly glorious idea...
but first, let's ride better for the already lost and endangered hands that kept and keep this game going. So that no more is lost than has been lost so far.

Start as usual at dawn, of course.

Of course! Together as one we rise.

Tbh I didn't really know anyone playing it after the initial hype. Not much into mmo pvp, so didn't follow it closely. I would figure they would feel more at home in Dune or Arc Raiders though.

The initial wave was insane.

When the dust settled there was only those of us who really wanted the PvP and combat to work out lol.

Tbh while the game is in the state that it is right now I really couldn't recommend the game to any new player.

Same goes for the state of Xbox.

If people asked me before about recommendations for buying an Xbox I was always glad to give em good advice.
Now I rather keep my advice to myself.
