Playing more then one MMO isnt good for my monthly budget (or time).

Lol no. Just lol.
Lol so hard.

a little SWTOR and WOW

But combat in ESO seems faster. maybe due to anim cancel etc.

Well i play star trek online too.
I love both the star trek and elder scrolls ip, but i'm worried that sto will follow the same fate as champions online. They focused too much on the whales and now it's stuck in a vicous cycle too squeeze the whales for more money to keep the game running.
Also i really hope those crown crates won't devolve into lockboxes one day which look special items, iconic ships ( comparable to classes), abilites and so on behind a money eating rng monster which people defend because p2w doesn't exist since sto is mainly about pve ( pvp exist and got killed by that locked and op stuff ).New content is smaller than what it used to be and similiar to eso, the test server and player feedback is complety ignored too.

Yep. I tried Neverwinter to "test the waters" before ESO launched. I tried LOTRO but can not do games like this on my computer, it makes me crazy. I opened FFXIV but got side-lined and never went back. But, ESO is Elder Scrolls and that will always pull me in.

Not even close to being elder scrolls. But ok.

Could use an eye-rolling emoji here.

It is wonderful when people are contentious while holding indefensible positions.

How does WOW compare to eso? I have a couple of friends that have been trying to get me to switch over. They said you can buy the first 100 levels so you don't have as much grinding to get caught up. Is that true? Theyve never played eso tho so it's hard for them to know if I would like it. Can anyone who has played both games offer any insight? What are the pro's and cons of both games?

I'm on Xbox so I'd have to buy a computer to play...I dunno I'm annoyed/unhappy with eso I'm seriously considering it.

Yep. Has everything I'm looking for. Open world with non linear questing and the entire world scales. Whatever else a game offers, without these two things, I get bored.

I've been playing on and off - but mostly off - since launch. Haven't even finished the base game yet. Still have a few maps to do in last alliance zone.

Love ESO's combat and visuals but hate classes and racial bonuses. And not only do I not like that ESO has classes but I don't love what's on offer. I played an elemental mage in the single-player games. ESO splits its elemental skill lines between 3 different classes. I'd long thought wardens might be cool but had already horse trained, levelled and started crafting my nature themed characters in preparation for the long promised but probably never to be seen spellcrafting. Not going to delete all that effort. Will probably just never play them and they'll never be more than storage now.

When Morrowind is seriously discounted I'll probably get it. Don't know if I'll bother with a warden though.

If they ever deliver spellcrafting, that would get my attention.

Mostly yes. I have an account for another MMO but still a baby in there, and haven't really done much of that content yet. .

No, I occasionally play Age of Conan because I really love the gore, music and fighting in that game. I don't play it that much anymore as I have moved on to Conan Exiles which I really like. Also I bought (pledged) Pantheon rise of the fallen and spent time on their forums and other media. Not playing it but I do spent time on it.

On a related note:

Why do people continue to not only visit the ESO forums but actively participate in them if they no longer play the game, have not played in awhile, and claim to have moved on from ESO?

Is your current game not good? Do you regret leaving? Trolling? Seeking attention? Why are you here?

Serious questions. It's completely bizarre to me that people will linger and lurk long after they stopped playing and moved on from a game.

Dear Pele,

I reply in the hope that I can relieve you of this most terrible burden.

Like many games, ESO runs promotions to draw former players back, like the recent free ESO Plus event. It drew me back for a few days. I had some thoughts to share about that. I came to the forums to do so and responded to a few other threads, like this one.

Terrible but true, ESO is far from perfect. Many who love the single player games don't play ESO which is blindingly obvious if you look at their sales figures. Accordingly you should expect to read entirely fair criticisms of the game here and elsewhere.

I don't really have a current game but Secret World Legends is looking decent. It offers me the classless experience which ESO doesn't and so far it seems ok. I'm not sure how I feel about all of their weapon gimmicks or monetization but I suppose I'll see how that goes.

It isn't bizarre at all that former players will speak up sometimes. Nor does it warrant you calling them lingerers or lurkers.

Have a nice day!

I like playing ESO I also like to play D3, PoE, Rift, WoW, LotrO, Tera, EnB (Earth and Beyond), EQ2, Aion and a few others. I get bored playing the same game for more than a month at a time.

I jump around MMO's quite a lot, when i first started playing MMO's i was in one of the largest guilds in the game (Ultima Online) when other MMO's started coming out the guild kind of fractured into three games (UO, EQ, and DAoC) so i picked them up too and went back and forth, then a good chunk of my DAoC friends moved to SWG so i followed, this has happened on and on in a chain through almost every MMO that has been out, so now i have groups of friends in multiple game communities, which means i play a lot of different MMO's. But ESO is always the one i come back to, and even when i'm focusing on other games i log in at least once a week.
