I do enjoy Cold Harbour. #ESO
It feels like Icecrown with better grafx.

You know it's funny, only one week ago I finally got a reply from SSG support about this and not a peep about when it would be available!

LOTRO Opens Transfers from Dark World 32-bit Servers, Go Now While You Can!

Back in June SSG copped to their head fake and gave everybody remaining on the 32-bit servers 76 days to transfer to the new 64-bit servers before the old worlds went dark. Being somebody who proba…

I am not surprised about the irony that companies went so hard after users downloading content because it was killing creators, only for the biggest mega-corps to take this to a whole new level with AI vacuuming the internet of creative content and dishing out slop.

Haha I see! well it sure is receiving a lot of praise 😄

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 1d

GOTY huh? 😄 what makes it so good in your eyes? I'm still on the fence a bit... very french lol

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 5d

And yes, I am calling the entirety of Tamriel "the place" 😜

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 5d

ESO shines by simply exploring the world. It is a really rough deal playwise but the place has its moments. 😊

Briefly checked my blog for my last ever WoW post (from 2021, a brief visit to SL) and yep - this is exactly why I left!! 😂 And I kinda doubt removing combat addons will change as much as some players fear. There's so much system bloat and cheapery.

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 5d

That said, it's worrying to hear them announce their own addons lol.... maybe it would be better to have none.

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 5d

Yep. it's kinda how I last visited WoW, so many complicated systems and metas and busy-keeping 🙄 I don't think it's wise to build MMO content around the try-hards, it's how Wildstar died. There needs to be a solid medium. WoW was very manageable when I used to play.

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 5d

Oh I see!
Yea it seems rather late in the game lol... and people are used to their mods! Didn't they also add one button rotation a while back to address simplification/ skill floor?

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 5d

It certainly won't hurt to wait. So many dumpster fires these days in early access...

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 5d

Myeah. I was signed up for the EA but after repeatedly reading about the monetisation, heavy grind and it not being solo friendly, I stayed away. Also the term 'second monitor game' is used a lot....

~Syl @mmosyl.bsky.social · 5d

Definitely wait.
Also suggest looking into some of the community feedback because lots of it is quite negative.

ESO? 😆 game is unplayable without addons and pretty much everyone I talk to runs minion. Actually I've never seen an MMO with more game changing addons - I am surprised ZOE allow it.

Blizzard is banning all addons then?
