Ugh! We get it.. you want to go to McDonalds and eat whatever you want for free.

@OP Warp cores could add diversity but I think more importantly is seeing where LoR is once it launches.  I know that it hasn't perked my interest enough to dust off the ol' uniform.

Don't mink Vuk, he has interjected his bile into almost every STO thread created here in the last 3 years. Good to see your mission is still keeping you busy, ol' boy.

As for the warp cores, I think it will be a good addition.

"Anyone out there like me? Can't get immersed in any MMORPG?

Here is my MMO gaming history: My first was WoW back in 2005. I stumbled apon it and back then did not know what an MMO was until I played WoW. I was very addicted to it and played for years. After that, I tried LOTRO, Rift, SWTOR but never got that feeling I had like when I first played WoW.

But there is one game that has me addicted and it is not even an MMO. It is an old game called Age of Empires: The Conquerors. I started playing this game back in 2004, on and off for years. It is still very fun to play vs others after all these years.

So what do you guys think? Am I done with MMO's? Am I more of an RTS type of player? The current MMO's I am waiting on is WildStar, Elder Scrolls Online and ArcheAge. But I have a feeling all of these will not keep my attention for long."

I'm guessing you prefer RTS-style play. There's nothing wrong with that. Stop trying to psychoanalyze the situation.

No thanks.  I can afford the subscription, and often do subscribe to sub-free games that offer the option.  I have no plans on renting temporary access to my games anymore. 

Isn't that what a sub is? Renting temporary access to your game on a month-to-month basis. Or do I not understand your post?

I can't actually even believe that ZeniMax decided to use it in the first place! Is it just because it's cheap? I don't get it but it makes me extremely wary on forming any opinions from articles on ESO.

You got even that part wrong.

You licensed HeroEngine a long time ago. What role did the Hero Engine play in the development of ESO?

We started ZeniMax Online from scratch, with no employees and no technology. We had to build everything ourselves. It takes a long time to write game engines, especially MMO engines, which are inherently more complicated than typical single-player ones. So, we decided to license the HeroEngine to give us a headstart. It was a useful tool for us to use to prototype areas and game design concepts, and it provided us the ability to get art into the game that was visible, so we could work on the game’s art style. Our plan is for ESO to be a world class MMO, with the most advanced social features found in any MMO to date – so while we were prototyping the game on HeroEngine, we were simultaneously developing our own client, server, and messaging layer that were specifically designed with ESO in mind. Think of HeroEngine as a whiteboard for us – a great tool to get some ideas in the game and start looking at them while the production engine was in development. 

As I read the OP to be: "TESO shouldn't use the hero engine because I don't like it", the thread should have stopped here.

For a moment I had a vision of a choreographed Orgrimmar population dancing to Skrillex tunes.

On a more serious side of this sillines, I went from WoW to Borderlands 2 initially. Then moved to Torchlight 2 and STO. Now I've moved to boardgaming.

And already showing off more than CU.

/zing!

Hopefully, I'll get around to reading all of the posts here, but I would like to say that I hope this thread turns out as good as the famous "Mythical Sandbox Crowd" thread.

That thread was epic!

I think that Gearbox could have turned out a pretty decent SW shooter if they had the time and resources to do so. Ya, Duke sucked and Aliens was a joke, but there were other factors at play with both of those.

Republic Trooper, Order 66....yeah, I'd be there.

Aww, who am I kidding? I'm not really all that optomistic either.
