Before you waste your money on this game I would like to make it clear to anyone who doesn't know this already. This game is for groups of people to play. I attempted playing it solo an doing it that way just sucks ass. Reasons stated below.....
PVP - I got killed over an over simply because other people in my alliance were with their friends an not worried about the others in their alliance out there trying to fight the good fight. After getting killed you have to spawn an insane distance away from the battle which means running all the way back an it just sucks. Spent more time running back to the battle than I actually did fighting.
Quests - You will only find enjoyment in these quests if you simply like to read an enjoy the lore of the Elder Scrolls series. Other than that you can click through all the dialogue relatively fast an do the quest which is sometimes as boring as running a good distance an talking to someone an than it says you've completed the quests. After dozens of boring quests I've only encountered one puzzle type quest an it was so simple a child could do it. Mind you this game is rated mature....
Economy - When I started the game I collected everything I could in hopes I could go to a merchant an sell my goods..... Nope. Most merchants offer 0 gold for almost all the items you randomly find. The only way to gain some gold from these seemingly worthless items are to sell them in a guild store. The stuff that you could sell was pennies on the dollar basically and it would take you ages to gain enough gold for anything good.... say a horse for example, price tag upwards of 20,000 gold.
Chat - Well wouldn't you know. Shortly after I started playing the chat was getting filled with bots named 'SDFWESD' an such like that posting a gold farming website where you can use your real life money to buy gold. As if that wasn't enough after logging out for a bit an coming back my mailbox was full of messages from those bots just spamming the crap out of me an everyone else with their websites for gold farming.
Community - It wasn't that bad as long as you didn't engage in a conversation with someone in the chat. Most of those people are snob nose kids or man-childs. Anyhow most the time when I was out in the wild battling a single monster anyone that was running along would stop an help but I assume that was basically for the loot. Either way it was alright I suppose. Not great though.
Inventory - Soon my inventory became a cluttered mess because I had so much stuff I wanted to sell an couldn't because of the damn merchants offering nothing for the items. In which case I was holding onto them trying to slowly sell them to people in the trading guilds that I had joined. That also sucked because navigating that piece of work was tiring. You can't just type in the item you have an see what everyone else is listing it for. All the items are smashed together in pointless categories that don't half make sense to begin with. Therefore you feel forced to want to upgrade your bank space an inventory space. Go try an do that an its a couple hundred gold for 10 more spaces..... an than the next upgrade is a couple 1000. As you can see it's not very balanced for the horder who like to keep an sell everything they come across like in the other elder scrolls games.
Subscription - After first I thought I'd try out the game since I get 30 days free. Nope, I still had to enter my card information rather I planned on staying around or giving up on the game like I am now. Pissed me off pretty good an I'm not the only one it bothered. It was really a low-ball way of getting people to show they can pay for the sub before handing out the 30 days free.
So for those of you who have seen my other posts about this game disregard those. After a couple days with this game my opinion has completely changed. This game isn't worth my time. I probably wouldn't even play it if it were free 2 play. Sorry for the long story but had to get it out there....
