    Whats the reason you bought ESO?

    because i was expecting to see and play inside Vvardenfell and morrowind in next gen graphics, in an online version with friends.

    (not being sarcastic, this is the honest reason i bought eso)

    Yeah,I was hoping it would be at least close to Morrowind at least.That was the reason I got into it.Now I just accept it for what it is. Another MMO and something to keep me occupied.Also,I'm an absolute die hard ES fan.(though I didnt like Oblivion at all,I still played through it loyally)

    I have been in love with Elder Scrolls since the days of Morrowind. The only game which ever came close to Elder Scrolls for me is Mafia. It was obvious that I would buy ESO too.

    For the massive PvP
    And I though it was the next big MMO after world of warcraft. (good franchise and nice lore, lots of stories to tell)

    Bought 3 retail imperial editions. 1 is still in closed box.

    Meh disappointed

    "I am a nightblade. Blending the disciplines of the stealthy agent and subtle wizard, I move unseen and undetected, foil locks and traps, and teleport to safety when threatened, or strike like a viper from ambush. The College of Illusion hides me and fuddles or pacifies my opponents. The College of Mysticism detects my object, reflects and dispels enemy spells, and makes good my escape. The key to a nightblade's success is avoidance, by spell or by stealth; with these skills, all things are possible."

    Started with the game series when Arena was released, but didn't bother signing up for ESO testing right away because I wasn't a fan of MMOs. Had major surgery (the kind with an extended recovery) and decided I might as well see what ESO was like so I could count it as an Elder Scrolls game I had played. Got into the last 2-3 beta weekends for the big stress tests. Based on that I signed up for pre-order and was on deck for the start of early access.

    For 200 vs 200 battles. Shame they dont exist anymore...
    Overload rework. Power Overload now does physical damage and grants you the power of a tornado: You throw a brick at the target with a light attack, and you hammer your head into that brick with every heavy attack. We have decreased its Ultimate cost, but increased the chance that you get stuck in the animation.

    Bought it for the massive online battles and keep taking. But duelers have ruin that for the most part. Time to move on I guess.

    I bought it because it had subscriptions and no cash shop (moreover Matt the Traitor said in no ambiguous words that that was the business model they wanted for the game).

    It is part of the Elder Scrolls universe. Mind you, I wish they stuck closer to the lore.

    My reason is pretty stupid, I loved WoW but got into it 8 years after release so majority of players were way ahead of me, I'm also a big fan of the TES games. So when ESO was announced I was like, cool an MMO where I can actually stay ahead and be good.

    I have a background with Elder Scrolls games and just wanted to do an MMO set in Tamriel really. I was hoping ESO would contain ALL the areas we have seen so far, especially Morrowind. Sadly that hasn't happened, or at least not yet. In the mean time I'm enjoying the content we do have, although there are times when I wish I could do some content solo that I'm currently forced to do in groups.

    Darn that last sentence sounded antisocial didn't it? Wasn't really intended that way.

    I think I just wanted to live in Tamriel, do some fishing, perhaps find a nice little home somewhere in Morrowind. I like the artwork and music, it's a very immersive experience. I'm looking forward to the Orsinium release and continuing my adventure through Wrothgar. From what I've seen on the PTS it's some of the best work yet.

    Why I bought ESO:

    I love The Elder Scrolls franchise.
    The Lore continually engages me.
    I love MMO's.
    ESO is a good marriage of MMO and The Elder Scrolls (IMO).

    So, yeah. I'm having a blast with it. I've barely missed playing a day since it dropped for consoles.

    I purchased it because no cash shop and it WAS a subscription based MMO. That changed. I played less. Then they added a justice system that was totally garbage. I played even less. Then they started changing combat, which I loved at the start of the game. Now I play even less.

    With all the "improvements" to the game, I can hardly be bothered to log in and collect my materials from my henchmen anymore.

    And no, nobody can have my stuff. I'm still hoping Zenimax will come around and reverse things back to the way they were.
    I am not spending a single penny on the game until changes are made to the game that I want to see.
    1) Remove having to be in a guild to sell items to other players at a kiosk.
    2) Cosmetic modding for armor and clothing.
    3) Difficulty slider.
    4) Fully customizable player housing that isn't tied to anything in the game other than having the correct resources and enough gold to build. Don't tie it to PvP, guild membership, or anything at all. Oh, make it instanced so as not to take up world map space, too. Zeni screwed this one up already.
    Any /one/ of these things implemented would get me spending again, maybe even subbing.

    As an avid fan of TES games, I wanted this game from the get go. I never played modern MMOs, but this game looked like just the thing to fill the void left when I quit playing MUDs in the previous decade. I get burnt out on single player RPGs fast because of the power fallacy used to make them, the games never get hard enough to make use of all of the skills acquired while leveling. So, this is good enough. For now. We will see. I kinda want to play AC Syndicate right now because this downtime sucks the big one.
