Will I miss out on ESO if I dont play a lot now?

Jon_Snow998
So I'm a college student and studying mechanical engineering and I have a tough load this semester and don't have a whole lot of time to play ESO. If I hold off til next semester or summer will I miss out on a lot? I bought the game this summer for XB1 but didn't play it at all really so I feel like I've already missed out some.

    The quests and the story will always be here. ESO isn't like other games where new sets are released for new seasons and contents. So it's pretty chill :cookie:

    @Marrtha yeah thats what I was thinking too. I really love the world and the quests so far. Just hoping people will still be around once I actually have time to play

    @Jon_Snow998 I don't think you should worry about that, there will always be players. But the bottom line is, ESO is really a game that can be played at your own pace. I barely have time to play but still enjoy the game as much as I can and I am not behind with anything, except for maybe some grinding bits, but I am sure ZOS will fix those. Glad to hear you are loving it though! :cookie:

    You'll miss out on "Kiss An Ogre Day," and all the cities and quests will move on to other players (who don't neglect them).

    Eh I stopped caring about that a long time ago. There will always be new players. That is why champ system wasn't that smart of an idea to begin with.

    I don't think so. This is quite young game which will be around for years. One semester won't make the difference ingame, but it will make the difference in real life.

    I'm a Physics student, so I don't have much time. During the week, I get all my work done, and get to log into ESO for maybe an hour, in which I do daily crafting writs and research and upgrade my horse. During the weekend, I generally have 12 hours on Saturday, and 3 hours on Sunday.

    I feel like everyone here has some top notch jobs/degrees lol. I work at a bar so I'm either watching drunk people dance or playing this game haha. That's crazy man I don't think I could take a break from this game like you're about to. The only thing you'll miss out on is the CPs you won't earn because you aren't playing, so if you have online buddies, expect them to be waaaaaay ahead of you when you return!
