    This MMORPG has something for everyone. You can explore, craft, quest, do dungeons, PVP. You can play alone or with friends and the community seems to be weeding out the unsavory personalities pretty well. When submitting a bug or a problem ticket, customer service answers very quickly and professionally while holding true to the game's personality. The monthly fee is comparable to the World of Warcraft's monthly fee at about $15.

    the overall game is really great, the graphics are awesome even on mid range computer, gameplay can be challenging but in a good way and is very balanced overall. I would like to see more tutorial for some aspects of the game such as the crafting elements, right now it is pretty trial and error. I tend to be a more single player mode and am really enjoying the gameplay and the unfolding storylines within the game. The only real dislike is the monthly subscription fee and that I would like to see some kind of tutorial or reference for the crafting elements.

    Gameplay is good, and there is an engaging story that keeps you involved. The game world is huge with numerous quests to accomplish.

    Overall, I have enjoyed the game. The storyline is good. I find myself at times standing in the inns just to listen to the music. Graphics are nice and some of the scenes are really beautiful. What I don't like is the character customization. I find that this is a big let down. The communication tools could use some tweaking.

    Lots of variety

    Other than an occasional reference to Tamriel, there's not much connection to the previous Elder Scroll versions. However, the game moves quickly with a lot of variety. Some of the controls are hard to figure out and its not easy to become adept with their use. All in all. an interesting game.

    First impression, this isn't the Elder Scrolls game I know and love. That being said, expectations have been met and exceeded. It being a MMO gives this game so much room for growth, the sky is the limit. Paying monthly is new for me, but considering what it is, and the potential for what it could become, I'm willing to deal with the $15 per month. Overall, love the game. Another great release for the Elder Scrolls series

    All my gaming friends really like it. I thought it was ok. Graphics and audio are really nice. But there really isn't anything new or unique about it when compared to other MMOs.

    Gone free to play now once you have the game, which means no monthly fee. It's a fun game, but it is an MMO so it takes some time to feel like you're accomplishing much.

    The Elder Scrolls online is a game which tries to cater to many people and fails to cater to anyone. The freedom of Skyrim is not there. If you stray to offer you will die instantly. You have to do inane quests to level to get to the main story lines next chapter. The main story is quite good; the side quests are simple grinding. If you enjoy watching your to on run this is the game for you. You simple run here collect this run there drop it off; rinse and repeat. After about 20 hours of this I quit even listening to what people said and just clicked the first response which generally gets you thru the dialogs the fastest. I played another 20 hours then gave up. I think I made it to like 15th level on my main guy. Oh and BMW if you are dumb enough to buy this game read some build guides or you will end up with a guy who can't progress unless you buy a reset which you can't afford or find with a toon which can't progress.

    This game looks great, even on my lower end system. Quests are fun, not the typical grind of most MMO's. There is a lot of voice acting, although it gets really annoying (repetitive) in town. It's biggest downfall, for me, is having to use the keyboard for movement.

    A great-looking game that falls into the same, tired quest grind of the fetch/kill/deliver variety. If you're into beautiful graphics and sound, and can look past the ho-hum quests that are offered to you, then this is the game for you. Go off-trail and explore while questing. You'll enjoy it much more.

    Great game that follows very closely to the other Elder Scrolls games. I started playing Elder Scrolls with Arena back in the DOS days and I became interested in the series ever since. If you like to have a very customizable experience and enjoy having a story line to follow, this is a great game to play.

    This is a great game for fans of the elder scroll series. It lets you dive into more story than ever before. Still relatively buggy, but can expect that from Zenimax. I wouldn't recommend to somebody who is looking for their first mmo.

    This is my first online game, and it's been pretty awesome so far. I am a huge Skyrim fan, so I had to check this out. It has a similar world feel as skyrim, but not exactly like it. I am yes to go On a guild quest because I want to level up more first, but I really like the game so far!

    An MMO for the Elder Scrolls crowd.

    I've played a few MMOs and a the past two Elder Scrolls games so I decided that Elder Scrolls Online may be something I'd like. After having played it for a few weeks, I find I enjoy the Elder Scrolls aspect of the game, but not the MMO parts quite as much. Grouping with others is fun, but many of the typical online game elements such as repetitive quests and crafting feel a bit stale at this point. I would recommend this game if you have enjoyed the Elder Scrolls games in the past and want to visit the world of Tamriel once again, but to probably look elsewhere for a purely MMO fix.
