You forgot Everquest my friend!

If the OP is serious, ...nah he cant be, no one is that oblivious.

True that

Tried the WoW starter game thingy, and wasn't impressed.

For the most part, still like playing this game.

Another 5 years long mmorpg player calling wow clones all over the new releases without having a single clue.

Wake up, for those of us who played mmorpgs long before wow it was only another one on the list. Not like its the root of the genre at all.

Some features changed over the time in mmorpgs (some of them might be because wow) like over-instancing (imho), battlegrounds, quest-driving to endgame.. but the genre has been 80% the same over time.

Besides being quest-driven, eso lacks the other two of the, imo, three keyfeatures wow had vs olders mmorpgs: instancing everywhere and battlegrounds (instanced *cough* pvp zones).

I've been a WoW subscriber for years and still have a current sub.

This MMO has only the very basics in common with WoW, but in that it has in common with pretty much every other MMO out there (basic leveling, basic questing and basic grouping for instanced dungeons). Else -- not a bit. The UI, the combat, navigation through the game, the economy, the skills system, the crafting, the pvp, pve endgame, how "raiding" is going to work -- all of that is completely and totally different.

OP has no clue what he's talking about.

[troll]ESO is definitely a clone of Ultima Online. Because they had swords and magic.[/troll]

So a game with Pvp, crafting, dungeons....is a wow clone?

To me this game feels more like EQ...but that's just me

For you WoW players: Does that MMO have any forced-solo content for the main quest?

Pretty sure you can group for everything in WoW. Might be wrong, but if there is anything that forces you to be solo, it's few and far between.

Okay, thanks.

Hopefully, ESO will follow WoW in that, if nothing else.

You and I have very different memories of EQ.

Maybe EQ without the sucky parts? Let's see...losing (experience) levels when you die, loooooong corpse runs, massive trains waiting for you when you zoned in(Crushbone anyone?), staring at your spell book for minutes at a time because it was the only way to regen mana, dieing on the only way to get to other continents unless you were a wizard or druid (stupid boats), rare mobs that took days to spawn and only a small percentage to drop the loot you were after, no real crafting system to speak of, not being able to see a thing at night because you foolishly rolled a human with no infra/ultravision, and quests? what are those? lol

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely loved that game back in the day. However, I think I sadly lack the patience for an experience like that ever again.

Sorry this does not remind me of EQ at all.

GW 2 Scaling is the best i think, but boss scaling is not so good for me there, when you enter high level area you die, when you enter low level area you are scaled to that level and damage health and so reduced, you get loot for your level tough...

you get EXP correspondingly

GW2 scaling in its vanilla form (I haven't played in ages) was awful. You could be max level and still get your ass handed to you by some crappy spider mob in the starter zone if you had wrong skills on or w/e. And your xp/gold/loot would be crap. Basically this negated any desire to run low level stuff with your friend or anything like that.

"mentoring" in Rift was substantially better imo, but I also haven't played that in ages, so my memory is a touch hazy.

True words about Rift.

My best mentoring experience was in City of heroes. Where you'd scale down to your pupil's level, but you'd get more money reward and something else (I forgot what else you got for it). It was an excellent way to make fairly reasonable amount of cash, while helping out a guildie. It really worked quite well. I think the mentor also had reduced item wears or something like this running while mentoring.
