most people who rage quit when they realise this is not skyrim online

Love TES, enjoy MMOs. That's why I bought ESO.

I confess.

I like the idea of MMOs and I've played a few, but I'm not one of the people who plays every big name MMO which comes out.

So the main thing which drew me to this game was that it's a TES game, but I was hoping for a TES MMO, not another Skyrim (I prefer Oblivion anyway) so the fact that it is an MMO and has some elements common to that genre rather than previous TES games doesn't bother me.

(Although I do wish they'd scrap classes and just make them all skill lines which anyone can use, and bring back the other schools of magic.)

Its darn close though.

Especially from level 1 to 49.

Of course, but I could say the same about Oblivion.
And Skyrim.

Morrowwind?

I was pushed into Morrowind so i could have some grounding in game mechanics while discussing rpg video games with my son. I sank into that world and came out changed so yes, it was Morrowind that did it.

I'm not meshing well with the MMO aspects of this game and that makes me sad since it means I can't easily go explore other areas. That may change since it took me two years in Skyrim before I really felt confident and strong. In the meanwhile I just play each alliance with an alt as a single player who occasionally waits for others to help in dungeons.

It's kind of funny though. I am an elf at heart and truly prefer the AD. Last night I was in Daggerfall with a Breton sorcerer and ran into the AD invaders in the first mages guild book retrieval ruin. I had to pause a moment to get my game face on since I wanted to run up to them and say, "wait! I'm on your side" which, of course, I was not in that circumstance.

My opinion is that MMORPG is the crappiest genre of games ever.
My opinion of the TES series is that it's kind of a not that stellar, very overrated series of CRPG. I played them all a lot of course.

Why the hell did I actually bought it? I have no clue. In the end I do think it is the best game with a TES slapped on it and the MMO that I played the most.

I bought this game because I'm a huge fan of the Elder Scrolls universe. It's not even just that I enjoyed previous TES games (although I definitely did), it's much more that I really like the setting. This is my first MMO, and when I first heard that it was going to be an MMO I was a little skeptical about whether that would ruin the experience for me, but I got pretty excited about it anyway, and pre-ordered the physical Imperial edition that came with the Molag Bal statue and the awesome coffee table book (mostly because I wanted the book - and holy crap was I ever impressed with the book when I got my hands on it).

I'm still wary of other MMOs, but despite the bugs and flaws, I've overall been very very happy with ESO, and in the past year and a half (almost) I haven't been tempted to quit yet.

I have played every TES game since TES 2: Daggerfall. I also bought ESO because I like TES games, especially modded.

I dislike MMO gameplay in general. I only play ESO because I like to roleplay with other players in a TES setting. The actual gameplay sucks in my opinion and just bores me. When I want good and exciting gameplay I play modded Skyrim.

I had high hopes for a TES MMO, played it through Beta. Weren't to happy. -Bought the Imperial-edition. -Stopped playing until it became F2P. Played it ever since, but haven't found ANY reason to drop gold in the crownstore.
And the way the game is being messed up (imo), I foresee a quick transition to Fallout 4 when it arrives.

OK, mostly TES fans I see, almost none MMO fans. Thats good, that means devs can get rid of all that MMOish nonsense with infinite grinding for gear and levels and CPs, and instead concentrate on giving us interesting multiplayer TES experience
