The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.

Why the gently caress does everyone frame MMOs in terms of challenging WoW now? WoW is terrible. It shouldn't be emulated or challenged, rather MMOs should be designed without any regard for it whatsoever.

I understand it was the most popular MMO, but gently caress it anyways, it sucks and always has.

Basically, if you think WoW is/was good and are hating on TES then I don't care what you say.

I don't give a gently caress about WoW, but every single MMO since forever has been trying to steal WoW's playerbase, TES Online is no different.

i kind of wonder what would constitute a fun mmo, assuming no tech barriers

basically anything that would make a good mmo (freedom) would also make nobody want to play because you could always lose all your poo poo by not being good at the game instead of just assuming the time = xp formula in wow and every other poo poo game. this is why eve is the best

Tbh I don't even think Blizzard can top WoW. That new secret MMO they're working on is going to flop like a dead fish. They've created a monster and they can't destroy it.

if you make an mmo with too much freedom people start to realize that they can just leave the computer and go live their lives for free if they want to contend with people who are smarter/stronger/luckier than them that want to take their poo poo

I was excited for Elder Scrolls Online because I had heard nothing about it and because I'm dumb. Turns out it's a stupid MMO just like everyone was afraid of. I'd post screenshots but they put my email address all over the screen so nobody can post screenshots and have people go "oh it looks like poo poo + email addresses" or maybe it's supposed to look like that.
This is what it looked like
