Teso is instanced zone shard, with story and lore and instanced battleground and dungeon.

Archeage has complete freedom no restriction,s no instancing housing no instancing pvp or battleground, has story and lore. ITA GOT SWG housing in real time, no instances.

How many if you got tired of instancing and shards huh?

:p

How the heck is teso rated higher then AA is beyond me.

if you're talking about the hype rating of ESO, that was manipulated, i have no doubt about it.
ESO had 8.3X, but it rose to 8.5X in just about a week, while every other game took quite a dive.

um....

that's not a comparison. That's one group more excited about a certain game than another or at least "having more representation".

You are trying to say that because one game has certain features that you value over another that everyone is going to value those same things. It's an interesting way to look at life I can tell you.

It's all about name recognition man. People know TES brand and not many know about archeage outside of MMO freaks. Even some my gaming friends didn't know a single thing about AA until I pointed them in it's direction. Yet all of them knew about TESO cause they've played TES games in the past.

I'm honestly looking foward to both. Whichever one caters to my playstyle the most is probably the game I'll stick with for the next few years.

Game comparisons, MMORPG's in particular have always come hand-in-hand with new developments and releases. We are all entitled to personal opinions and unfortunately this leads to clashes of interests over features, gameplay, graphics.. you name it. Sometimes it can lead to a healthy debate, however more often then not it leads to an extensive flame war.

I think the real question is when all these new Themeparks release and the 3-4 month ride is over, where will everyone end up? I think this time around WoW might not be the obvious choice. When 4 months in, Archeage players have barely scratched the surface of their game, TESO players will be begging for new content.

I personally believe that once Archeage releases, it will have a bigger impact than many realize. Players want something new and are tired of clones. Archeage gives them exactly that, something COMPLETELY different.

But as some other peopel on this site have said, they don't mind the churn. It seems that there are people who only want to play for a few months and then move on.

Not sure  if the developers will like this but there it is.

To the OP.

the two are compared becasue TESO is claiming to be for TES fans but in reality its nothing like the IP, Archeage is more TES than TESO is...so the two must be compared.

Just bloat Archeage some more. What you did not also add that is that it's pretty much class based and TAB target WoW spam 123 combat. That alone puts ESO at a HUGE advantage. No comparison imo.

Good god you're wrong on so many levels...

TESO is also Tab target.  And ArcheAge isn't "Choose a class" and listed.  It has 120 class COMBINATIONS.  You also aren't restricted on the type of gear you want to wear.

Because some people like both themepark and sandbox MMOs and you can still compair some elelments of the game. There both still MMOs and if you dont get that <<<shrugs>>> Both games have a type of RvR, open world PvP with breaking into keeps and castles. Both have combat and we could go on and on. How well they do at the core of the game will decide for me what one I play. To me therepark and sandbox means little as for me, its how awesome the whole package is. I have played both styles and there has been good and badly designed of both. In the end for me there is only 2 types of MMOs, well designed and badly.

The thing is most players care about combat above all else and ArcheAge seems about as clone as you can get in that department. I'm hoping I'm missing something because I really like the feel of this game.
