Originally posted by Viper482 I remember back in the day when games would give group bonuses for experience. Omg, how crazy! To actually encourage group play and socializing in an MMO!! But nah, the games have not changed, it is all just an illusion…

Forgot to add - one of the greatest games of all times - whoever said this is on craxk.
Or you know - just likes different games "Best X of all times" is always subjective.
I guess I stand on the other side of the fence on this one. I think MMOs died when they became soloable from 1 to cap. My first game was LOTRO where you had a huge number of fellowship (6 man) quests - hell, even the tutorial (!) area had one full-g…

"I don’t know if it’s the Unity engine or what, but controlling your avatar and fighting with him (or her) is just awkward and stilted."
Please, not this again. The engine has nothing to do with production quality or synchronization code respons…
Originally posted by mark2123 I think it's a shame as the game seemed ok to begin with, but I soon noted (having not done tonnes of research) that the game was meant for the hardcore. What a big mistake because that's such a small niche - it's like…
LotRO was such a great game back in the SoA days - the best one I've ever played. I really enjoyed how it was all group and community oriented without the push for gear that often goes hand in hand with group content in MMOs. I played from launch ti…
Originally posted by Iselin Somewhere along the way I think they realized that the quasi open world PVP nature of the enforcer half of the justice system would be an even more jarring and game-changing feature than the theft part they implemented.

Originally posted by SavageHorizon Check the op question "is the holy trinity present in eso" the answer is yes no matter how you try and gloss it over.
Lol, I'm not glossing anything over man I just pointed out that it works differently from …
Originally posted by SavageHorizon Originally posted by bcbully No but the Tribunal is present.
As far as the trinity, it's not like WoW. It's much softer. No people all over like GW2 either. Kinda in between. Plus people play a lot of sup…
Daedric armor in Skyrim was pretty amazing! However I guess the polycount would kill Cyrodiil One thing I found out about the armors in ESO (and not only ESO) is that most of them look much better without helm... For whatever reason.
You can also look at it this way: if they are getting enough money to make profit from initial purchases and ESO+ subs, they can make new quality content in the form of DLCs while having the cash shop as a side source of revenue. If, however, the co…
Originally posted by Jean-Luc_Picard I edited out the "class/level" part because I knew some trolls would abuse it. Too late apparently, my bad.
In GW2, at max level, you can go anywhere in the world, and your level will be adapted, you won't be s…
Originally posted by Jean-Luc_Picard ESO is sadly not Skyrim Online, which could have been the next UO, but only another pathetic WoW/EQ based clone.
Go for GW2, it's definitely the better and more innovative game.
Hmm... So GW2 is NOT a class/…
I would say yes - the crafting is pretty nice and deep, at least when compared to what's on the market now. The PvE is adequately challenging - its not like every battle is super tight but if you don't block/interrupt and move out of stuff you can g…
Originally posted by DMKano Why not play both?
Limiting yourself to a single game seems so silly to me.
The last time I played a single MMO at a time was 2003.
You can play many MMOs on rotation each week - works out fine.
Have a differ…
Originally posted by Kaladin MMORPGs are evolving? No kidding! Gamers are demanding things to be different all the time, so developers give them that. Although, gamers do not usually know what they want. To quote a former Carbine employee, "We g…
Just returned to LOTRO after some years and I've got my first char to Moria. I must say that I was there when MoM launched, playing through the original mines and it was terrible. Now after the revamp, I am having a blast. Quests are much better org…
