Is ESO even out? Preordered, played the beta and now I'm not very interested in playing the game. Maybe in a week or so when they get the bugs filtered out and there isn't a billion people in the starting areas.

I don't know why people are so freaking tribal about a game. Play if you like it, or don't play it. Whatever. Why grief, and why make it a my game is better than your game issue. Kind of childish.

Supposedly 2015 Q2-ish will bring World of Darkness, which looks damn promising. The issues with its team and layoffs might spell disaster to one of the best ideas in gaming - Vampire The Masquerade MMO. The hardcore nature of the game might not draw too many from this one, though, even if it does turn up an ok game. That won`t stop the Doomsday preachers I`d guess.

A World of Darkness MMO?

....That might change things.

IF the game is good.

Then again, I'm pretty sure only the next LotR or SW MMO can tear me away from TOR? The only two IPs strong enough to do so.

I did notice that a Particular thread, posted over the weekend by a banned player, has been deleted...
Hopefully they blocked his IP address this time.

its out. early access anyways. judging by the amount of people I've been running into a few preordered it but not as many as some have claimed. then again, I think 5 day access is for imperial edition only, so there may be more people out and about tomorrow

to be honest, given publisher's reputation, I'm surprised (and somewhat impressed) that there aren't MORE bugs. but yeah, people being tribal about the games is hilarious :P and then there's me who just plays whatever, whenever. (I did stop playing neverwinter - 2 MMO's at a time is as much as I can handle, so its ESO and SWTOR for me at this time)

Apparently people dinged 50 in less than 24h.

So even if they're gone they evidently won't be gone long.

wow... they must have skipped everything and just speeded through quests or something.

<--barely hit 4 in several hours of playing

there are locusts in every MMO, /sigh.

but it was gonna take huuuuuuuuuuuundreds of hours! Someone said so in the "I love ESO" thread, so it must be true!

as for the 5 day early access, that was for all online pre-orders and all imperial editions.
Amazon pre-orders will have 3 day early access and the rest of the plebs will fall in line on the 4th

Although for alot of people, the game is completely unplayable.
Some can't even log in.
Some can log in but not create a character.
Some can create a character but not get in-game.
Some can get in-game but get booted randomly every 5-30 minutes.
Oh and they only send your pre-order stuff once, so if you forget to put that in your shared character bank and delete that character, it's gone forever.

Yup, one helluva successful launch.

We already have Hunger Games MMORPG, sort of. It is called DayZ. Nobody bothers to kill the alleged zombies, but gank each other, sometimes forging temporary alliances to later gank each other. Seems like Hunger Games to me...

And Firefly was an amazing show, but probably not enough to actually build a MMO around...

aaah, gloating. though to be fair, after all the mudslinging we've been dealing with towards SWTOR, can't say I blame you.. much :P me, I'm one of the lucky ones that has mostly unimpeded access to the game (I crushed once, when being transported out of tutorial prison section, but after that, its smooth sailing) not looking forward to the outpouring of hate and disappointment though. kinda feeling bad for Bethesda and Zenimax, even perfect launch would have been seen critically, but now.... youch.

and yeah, whoever thought it was a good idea to make preorder/beta/etc rewards one item per account? needs to have their decision making privileges revoked. (lost my beta monkey hope it can be restored, but I'm not holding my breath)

last but not least, I'm guessing addon lovers will be pleased... eventually. becasue vanilla UI is.. a little too sparse >_>
