Depends on if you want them to craft a game or a world. A game can have this, but forget immersion; why would you need a group to kill a bandit? A wolf? A dragon, I can understand. If you are trying to create a world that you can get lost in, and this is where the line between game/RPG...
As usual, this thread is filled with hyperbole, "facts," and stories from "friends" and sekret sources. Interesting to see who is the most full of shit when it all comes to light.
LOL.. Bondurant is a teso employee now? Or who? I can't follow you, man; I should probably stop trying.
Do tell! Share with us your sekret tester infoz!
I don't think you guys understand me. I know "something" is going on right now, but it's not cause Zenimax is doing some crappy marketing, it's cause some beta testers are talking on forums. If Zenimax wants people to know about "something" then they usually aren't shy about it. That's all...
I don't like salesmen and politicians either. In this case, though, Utnayan just read something from a beta tester on the SA forums. I don't think Zenimax has made any sort of statement about this weekend...
So - any other questions/concerns for the devs? I've got a few of my own I'm going to throw in with the ones you guys posted:
I'm curious how they intend to make each Alliance War campaign feel persistent. One of the things about DAOC that kept me coming back was the rivalry between my...
Seriously? Every single other question was a passive aggressive attack, but if you guys are hung up on this, I have no problem sending them along.
Except the last one - cause it's not only passive aggressive, but openly insulting. I think they'll just get ignored, but no skin off my back...
I can't speak for everyone, but I can say that the rep from Zenimax that we've been in contact with for teso.junkiesnation.com said that they were "very familiar with rerolled.org" - I agree with you that it is a bit far fetched to expect devs to come start posting here, especially when they...
LOL.. no, this is legit - I'm gonna post your questions word for word on teso.junkiesnation.com if we get a response. What a sweet line, though - maybe it's the wine, but I laughed out loud when I read your post.
So far I have:
I snipped the rest, cause you're right - they're not gonna answer that stuff, obviously. Those questions were more about your interest in the drama behind the scenes than the actual game. Some of it's interesting, but some of it is just silly.
I'm assuming you are hoping for a...
Here's your chance to be heard, guys. You may or may not know (or care) that I've been doing a bit of writing for teso.junkiesnation.com - regardless, Draegan and I have gotten in touch with a contact at Zenimax, and she was receptive to the idea of having the devs field questions and concerns...
Oh shit! Don't bump the thread with nonsense or DMK is gonna bust a cap!
Edit: that's not nice...I apologize in advance. How about some real info from Draegan's site about ESO RVR?

If you do that, you'll have a horrible time. You need to block, move, use power attacks. That's all basic - then you get skills for your hotbar from various weapon lines, class lines, guild lines, etc. It's actually quite engaging.
Do I really need to explain this to you? I argue about this stuff cause it's my hobby. I'm interested in it. From what I've seen, I'm going to be playing this game, so, of course, I want it to do well. If I can convince a few lurkers to listen to my point of view over yours and Utnayan's...
Eh, I don't care one way or the other. Sure, they can run my IP and see I'm nowhere near Bethesda. If that's good enough for you. Or Draegan can vouch for me, but this is just silly. Why are we wasting time on a forum talking about one crazy poster's paranoid delusions? All I ever do to set...
By all means...
Draegan knows exactly who I am. You are just making yourself sound dumb. Keep up the grasping for straws, though, as your little house of cards falls apart. I notice you're trying to distance yourself from the "this game is a total pile of shit" comments earlier in the thread...
Yet we all need your wisdom to tell us over and over and fucking over that recent MMO's are bad? Makes sense.
First - it would be cool to have Matt Firor's job, and probably his cash. I mean he's in charge of a 300+ employee studio working on a fucking sweet IP, but unfortunately that's not...
Actually, Sage has confirmed that there is no cash shop planned. Just a service (probably web based) to change character names, etc. He says Firor suffered from an unfortunate choice of words when he mentioned a "cash shop" for "fluff" to that interviewer at Gamescom...
I hope they'll have lots of smooth tests before now and release.. still a lot of months in there. I'm a fanboy, though, so not really rooting for failure like some forum warriors.
Well, Utnayan/DMK - I passed on Aion based on the fact that I heard it was a typical Korean grindfest with pretty graphics. Now that it's out for a couple years, you're right, I'm not going to go try to get involved in the PVP. Kinda a bit behind the curve for my taste. I was merely pointing...
Another good interview out of Gamescom. TESOElite interview with Maria Aliprando.
Lot of good info that hasn't been detailed before (that I'm aware of.) For instance:
Regarding the cost - especially for you guys interested in consoles:
Justice system in the works:
Weather patterns...
Pretty decent interview from Gamescom here:
Firor talks about why they chose P2P and lots of other stuff. He does specifically mention that they don't want you paying for things "in game" as, to him, it's immersion breaking. So this kind of contradicts the P2P + cash shop. Unless the cash...
