I have been a subscriber of the game for 3 years now and as a person whom never had any interest in an MMO before, I am pleased to say that this has turned me around and I am stilling playing almost every day.
The game ( especially the roleplaying community) has led to me meeting so many funny and wonderful people whom I talk to on skype and TS every day. We share gear, help each other learn and complete new and vet content and just hang out playing with the items in our collections.
With the changes that come about with the classes, I am always updating my tank and healer builds or skills in order to make sure they are playing to the best of their ability. I think its refreshing that it's not a simple one and done set up. The challenge makes it so we don't get bored with a stale build that we can just take into any dungeon and succeed. It keeps me on my toes.
I am also happy that ZOS regularly releases new DLC content so we get new items or quests to complete. New adventures and stories to share and appreciate. Finding new NPCs whose quirks make us realize how much creativity went into the development of these storylines. I still remember playing the Gold Coast with my best friend and we both squeed upon seeing an old familiar face return to join us on an adventure.
My group and I are particularly thrilled and counting down the days to Morrowind as most of us play Dunmeri House mer. Its going to open a whole new world to us and what we can do in this game. We all loved Morrowind and cannot wait to return to Vvardenfell to see it portrayed in a whole new light.
Between the costumes, unique mounts, varied personalities and other appearance altering options, it is a game that really does take the considerations of the role playing community to heart.
Does the game have some faults? Sure every game does, but the joy I get from playing with my friends far outweighs any group finder complication.
So ZOS I just want to say my friends and I greatly appreciate all you have done to create an Elder Scrolls world in which we can all interact and grow together. You have made something very special and I plan to be sticking around for a very long time if you continue this trend.
Much love!
