Hello, are people here playing MMOs? What's your favorite one?

ESO. They're coming out with a massive expansion in a few days so I got back into it. It is rich in Elder Scrolls lore and has a ton of content, and you can play it solo easily if multiplayer isn't for you. Scratches the Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim itch. Also like that it isn't pay-to-win.

Yeah I tried it 2 or 3 years ago, I find it was okay but didn't get attached. I will maybe try it again later, I don't want to only play MMOs even if I love it

Yeah it does take a little getting used to. I'm not super fond of the combat. Using the bow is much less satisfying than in Skyrim and there's no ridiculous ragdolling of your foes.

But... the characters and story arcs make up for it, along with the sheer variety of environments and the feel of exploration that comes with it. Morrowind alone feels much like Morrowind of yesteryear.

The customization is also really nice, lots of different outfits to try on and endless ways to decorate your house. It makes the social aspects feel much more natural with that level of expression.

The upper character levels do feel a little samey when getting to high champion levels, but unless you're min/maxing it doesn't make a huge difference imo.
