It's a bad game, why is it not an MMORPG?

Makes sense. Very few MMOs these days and for the past 10 years or so.

best middle ground was when guild wars introduced pings and drawing on the minimap. in all honesty, for as much as i loved the experience at the time, i would *never* go back to anarchy online and taking 15-20 minutes to put together a team and 5-10 more just to "go there".

yeah, this game is good to chill after work without autismo clan garbage or collecting team for an hour. I am glad I can just play alone casually.

I have just completed Necronom.

The storyline is meh, I'm pretty sure you're used to that from all Bethesda and Zenimax games. In comparison to other Elder Scrolls Online DLCs it's alright. Better than most, but still not particularily interesting. It also has some bugs, I had to restart one quest twice to finish it. Nonetheles, Necronom has two advantages: Decent environments that were pleasant to look at, and a new and quite fun class which feels like a proper "warlock" (and mixed with a warrior class, here called an arcanist) I haven't encountered for a long time. Overall, I think it's definitely worth getting the expansion as a B2P player, and as an ESO+ one it's worth trying out the new class. Overall, I am not disappointed and had an alright time playing this expansion, so if you're a TESO fan I think you should get it, but if you're new to TESO then you certainly should just try the basic version (the 5€ one) and then decide whether you want to spend more money on the game. Eventually I ended up buying expansions as I keep coming back despite not being a fan of MMOs, which this game is not really as it allows you to play the game single-player.

I would have consider it if not for ESO+ subscription and a shit ton of small DLCs in their shop. I've played F2P games that cost less.

Those small DLC and all the others (sans the latest expansion) are all part of ESO+. The crafting bag too.

I played for 100h just the basic edition, only afterwards I started buying DLCs (though best campaigns are locked behind DLC, admittedly, but if you're cheap the basic version is enough to have some fun).

ESO+ is pretty much mandatory to properly enjoy the game. You miss out on a lot of story content without it (unless you buy them with crowns, in which case you might as well sub to ESO+) and the crafting bag alone is mandatory. Inventory management is a nightmare without it.

I still look at ESO as a subscription MMO because of this. I pretend F2P doesn't exist.
