Yes, clearly he says he is waiting for a sale there. You have been doing nothing but twisting words, outright lying and attacking anyone that doesn't agree with you. So what is your reason for being here other than to attempt to get people banned and cause arguments?
EDITED to add, and yes I pointed out that renting is consuming as much as continually paying to fund and on going project is investing. You always ignore the points that counter what you say and focus only on the part you think you can argue against.

An mmorpg where PvP successes and failures influence the "lives" of every player in the faction is a step forward. PvP where your enemies are different than you are, across three realms, is for most mmorpgs, a step forward (not just gang banger with guild v guild). An mmorpg where instead of an instanced battleground where you access the BG via the push of a button, is a step forward.
Just fyi.
I tried the game in the last beta weekend. I liked it, but the PvP will destroy it.
If they had stuck with PvE it could have grown to be a great game.
My opinion is my own. I respect all other opinions and views equally, but keep in mind that my opinion will always be the best for me. That's why it's my opinion.

What successful (North American/Western European) mmorpg has only pve and is successful?
Any MMORPG where developers have to give you a reason to PvP or create PvP environments for you is PvP for carebears and is 10 steps backwards.
Just an fyi.

Actually, GW2 gives you free content every 2 weeks AND has no sub. I would say those are 2 major things that ESO isn't offering, although I am just guessing about end-game content since little info has been released, but you're right - what else is there to do after finishing all the quests and getting to max level? PVP or raid...and I'm not even sure this game will have a "gear grind" like GW2 does...so yeah, I agree that I will probably play for a few months and then cancel after I've hit level cap, especially since Wildstar will be releasing right around the time I do so...
This game has already provided the best PvP available on the market and it hasn't even released yet. Cyrodiil's closest competitor is this forum, turns out.
To the OP: very happy. This will be an amusing year. Can't remember the last time I witnessed an upset like the one that is about to happen. It's like a triple-reverse mindf*ck that will illustrate very elegantly the base nature of the commentary of a myopic, entitled, unimaginative, jaded horde.
So good. I almost feel guilty for looking forward to the fallout.

its got it all, lightning, fireballs, catapults, horses, arrows, axes, lots of people, walls being smashed, an elf on the top of the keep, what more could someone want from PVP?
Well....
So far all story based MMO´s have been linear..... and since i love reading books and watching movies, i am got quite used to linear forms of content...
However, the first one building a non linear world, where every of your actions gets you inline or out of line with several of dozens factions, that will be my new favourite...(if the combat, stories and graphics are AAA quallity too)
Best MMO experiences : EQ(PvE), DAoC(PvP), WoW(total package) LOTRO (worldfeel) GW2 (Artstyle and animations and worlddesign) SWTOR (Story immersion) TSW (story) ESO (character advancement)
GW2 story is awful, so that free content for the most part is a minor distraction to get people to hopefully keep playing and buy more gems.
What!?! You think the graphics are like those in Tera?? Whoa... Not sure what settings you were using. Are you sure you're not going blind? (It could be related to the onset of Diabetes) Have you taken many hallucinogenic drugs in the last couple of years? J/K but really I don't see the comparison at all.
After each of the last two beta weekends I actually found myself feeling sad that it was over. Other games I'm playing now just feel like fillers till ESO comes out for real. I want to get back to my characters and invest my time in developing them. I felt sad they were wiped. I know that's what betas are.
I am certainly looking forward to 4/14/14 and it's highlighted on my calendar.
By the looks of the poll thus far, the majority are happy with what they see/tested. The haters are a very small minority. /shrug
The game does not feel linear, the only time it felt linear was if I wanted to do the main quest line to get out of the starter area.
Outside that I never did that again and traversed the world and did tons of quest and never once was led down a path or made to go a certain way. I completely chose where and how I wanted to go.
Yes there is...
I was just reading through this thread but had to stop and comment on this. This is rose coloured glasses if ever I've seen it, "There is nothing to say there won't be quest lines...". Yeah, but have you seen anything that has said there WILL be? Or are you just hopeful and eating into the hype? Concern yourself with what you've seen, not with what you hope you'll see, or you're just setting yourself up for a fall.
By now most of us should know what happens to just about every mmo that makes the casuals wet with anticipation.
-Moderately strong release, then 3 months in there's a rapid decline of population. A good chunk of the decline are the casuals themselves.
This is why we can't have nice things's. To make an analogy, MMORPG's have become a quick zoo visit, instead of a wildlife research expedition, which essentially kills the initial purpose of why these large worlds were originally created for in the first place.
Like every other big MMO release the game is going to get a lot of numbers in the first month. Probably well over a million unique accounts at launch. However, the real question is the longevity of the game. Will people stick around after 3 months? 6 months? That's the big question.
