Just reinstalled, only played for an hour after buying imperial edition on launch but I'm giving it a go now that its B2P and bugs have been sorted out.

Rolled on Ebonheart Pact

I play. Daggerfall Covenant. I don't play serious though, my highest is level 40 and I've been around since early start.

Oh and stick with PC for the addons. The game is seriously lacking without addons.

Game is such trash endgame. Played all through beta and release. Fun until your stuck running in circles in the desert doing the same thing over and over w nothing else to do.

Isn't ESO a huge flop?

Played last night, was pretty fun. Lot of people running around the lowbie areas. Flop or not, it has improved since I tried it at launch. There's some new content in the works as well, don't know the details though.

Being buy to play was a plus for me to come back and give it a shot since I already have the imperial edition of the game. (digital collectors edition)

Isn't ESO a huge flop?

If you read what half of people said about it. The other half love it.

Personally, the balance issues are what sent me packing. Specifically, the lack of priority to bring half the builds in line with the other half. After DAoC and this I'm convinced Matt Firor is a bonafide moron, honestly.

But "flop" would be a gross exaggeration. Game is really amazing in lots of ways. Sure, if you are a classic EQ purist, you will have no end of things to bitch about, but name any other game that doesn't apply to in the last 15 years. Game is really great in its way, not so great in others. Like anything else in gaming or the world in general.

Personally, I really don't listen to most of what "gamers" as an aggregate say about anything anymore. Most of us bitch just to bitch most of the time. Go check it out for yourself. Have there been MMOs I like more? Of course. Is there a recent MMO I like more? No. Not that I've been looking, but I generally enjoyed my time in ESO. There have been far worse releases and far worse games. People just bitch because every single game isn't what they personally expect every single game to be. Go watch the rant videos from around release....i did....Honestly, most of those turds were picking gnat shit out of sugar.

As far as PC vs Console....I play my MMOs on PC, obviously. But I've been dying to see what a legit NON SHOOTER MMO would be like on console and if one were to ever play well on one, this is probably it. Got the sense on PC that the controls were tailored for a controller, really.

And I'm really interested in checking it out for a second time.

IMO

I bought the game before it went BTP, got a Nord Templar to Veteran Rank 1. Once I found out I had to go to the other realms and do all their quests, I lost interest in that character very quickly, as I wanted to level high enough on one character and start another on a different realm to experience it. But you can see a trend, any character you want to max out will have to do the quest grind in three different realms.

The quests, hmm where to start. If you enjoy voice-over quests and I mean there is a crap load of quests. You will probably enjoy the game alot more then me. But the quest grind is horrendous. Not only do some quests take about Thirty minutes and some even more, to only get 1 quest completion for experience and a little gold and sometimes a item. While one quest could take 5-10 minutes and give the same amount of gold and experience.

You can just grind, much like in EQ. Its actually a very lucrative way to progress, but most of the quests give skill points and if your not maxed out on those then your probably in need of them.

Besides the quest grind, I enjoy just about everything else the game has to offer. My Favorite being the RvRvR zone Cyrodiil.

The game looks extremely beautiful, I have a three year old computer that needs upgrading and I can run on Max, its pretty amazing.

I hope this wasn't to long of a post as I didn't want to write a book. I would vote this game about 6.5/10

Yeah, I was still running 32 bit xp with 3 gigs of ram and a 600 series video card. It ran and looked great.
