Bummer, sorry to see you go.

Thanks!

ESO comes out at the end of the month and I am really excited about it. I'm not biomassing because I may be back but don' want to split focus between the two.

26. Off-topic posting is prohibited.

ESO brings nothing new to rinse repeat MMO's





I like Cheese.

I think too many devs look at WoW for guidance with good cause.

I'm unsubbing.

But isn't ESO just a WOW clone? That's the impression I got from the presentation thing they did.

You're going to need to learn to fly Caldari- you potato-driving jackass!!

I think they are trying some new things and are taking some risks that I find very interesting. I've been a fan of the franchise for some time and am excited to see the MMO translation. I think too many devs look at WoW for guidance with good cause. It is, after all, the most successful MMO ever. This has caused the development of way too many clones and I don't like clones (they're creepy and cost too much once you have a lot of SP). But I played the beta this past weekend and was more than impressed with the direction they're going.

ESO on release?

They are doing everything in their power to nickle and dime customers. The whole Imperial class fiasco really establishes this point. As neat as the game may seem, I think the principles need to speak louder this time. They are Call of Dutying, World of Warcrafting, Battlefielding and Sim Citying the Elder Scrolls franchise all at once.

If us Elder Scrolls fans can just keep from buying the game for a few months, we can send a clear message that we won't take this kind of crap. If we just fork up the cash like idiots... well, we'll be paying another $80 next year again I promise.

Okay, that's my rant for today.

ESO will likely kill the franchise I think.

I may be wrong but I just cant see this ending well for the Elder Scrolls brand. I think that its just a way of grabbing as much cash as fast as possible over the success of the last few years. And then likely jump ship.

Its why im 100% glad that the rumor of a Fallout MMO was never proven, I can only hope that it stays to its roots, hell you never know, if Wasteland 2 turns out as good as it currently seems they might look at a Fallout Tactics 2 again. I was gutted when they axed that.
