Because everyone is sick of bad MMOs that spends all of its money on superfacial graphics and none on gameplay.

Believe it or not a lot of people are looking for a high quality MMO to play but keep discovering that to most developers dont have a clue and keep making weird design decisions.

Yes, it talks about how they're an MMO shop. And how the games are completely unrelated. Being completely unrelated means that two games are not at all related, which also means anything that happens in TESO does not affect the TES series. I mean do you remember that one time where molag bal invaded and the tribunal which could easily have sent him packing in a few hours but decided not to? Yeah me neither.
On February 04 2014 02:26 Projections wrote: There are significantly worst things butchered in single player TES games than in ESO. Hahaha, surely you jest. Everything about the altmers have been butchered, the elves don't even look like TES elves anymore, they look like any other generic fantasy elf now. They have changed some of the most fundamental things about the TES series so saying that even any one of the single player games have done a better job at butchering the lore has to be a god damned joke.
On February 04 2014 02:26 Projections wrote: Since it takes part in a time period it doesn't "butcher" lore it adds to lore.
Yes, yes it does butcher lore. I mean holy fuck elder scrolls are going to be fucking capture the flag objects, the thing the entire series is based upon is fundamentally changed but you're saying it doesn't butcher lore? Do you remember that time where elder scrolls were super common and people were tossing them around from faction to faction? Yeah me neither. And again, all i would have to do is mention the tribunal and molag bal would go back home and the entire thing would be solved.
I'll post thes ewhich is just a fucking fraction of the ways TESO butchers TES lore and withdraw from this discussion: http://i.imgur.com/G5iaMVq.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zBfJ1uy.jpg

One could easily argue that being in the same world, but not connected to any of the singleplayer storylines, would make it 100% unrelated. For example, being set a few hundred years in the future. Time jumps like that are pretty common in Elder scrolls, and it would make for a canon, but unrelated, game. If TESVI then is set at any point in time before TESO, none of what happens in TESO would be relevant to the singleplayer games.
Because if you would go by the absolute literal meaning of "100% unrelated" it couldn't even play in the same world. Because that would be a relation. It also couldn't be called The Elder Scrolls, because that also would be a relation. Which pretty surely is neither meant nor implied in that statement.

thats my point... ive been looking for a good mmo since TBC that isnt WoW... im still here fucking waiting.
But i also dont say "man i dont play mmos cause they are stupid" and go look at threads for other MMO's... because if I start my post with
"Man I hate MMORPG's!" why would any1 want my opinion. This is like being an icecream critic who says "i hate all icecream" in my opening line...expecting people to still give a shit about my opinion

Looks like another beta this weekend. Characters from the last beta weekend persist. I will give this another shot. My plans are to get a horse and then go full pvp like last time. Hopefully the horse makes a big difference in PvP downtime.

If anyone has a spare beta key I want to play the beta. 
Thanks guys I got one!

You definitly should check out Wildstar then. It doesn't have a huge existing brand behind it but the game is super solid and most important of all. The combat feels really good. (at least as an Esper).

It'll be F2P after a few months just like how SWTOR did.

The media NDA got lifted, but the player one did not. However the watermarks have been removed ingame, which is a good indication that the NDA will be lifted very soon.

This is such an embarrassing question but where do I actually go to download the beta client?

After you log in, there should be a button that says "REDEEM CODE" Redeem your ESO beta code there. Underneath that button should be a button that says "DOWNLOAD PC CLIENT".
