Anyone else taking a hiatus from an MMO for Skyrim?

Post » Tue Oct 11, 2011 4:28 am

Both my girlfriend and I play WoW (for the Alliance~!), and I currently have gotten into EVE (Caldari pride~!) online as well. I've already declined to renew my sub to warcraft, and it'll be ending on the 17th this month; EVE I'm keeping on simply to keep my skill training going.

Despite the 'addictiveness' of mmo's, I've always found I'll drop any of them at the drop of a hat for a good console game.

Me and My girlfriend will be taking a Break from WOW, at least until patch 4.3 comes out.

I've been playing Rift for some time (Viva La Defiant!!!)

But yeah- I haven't been able to play for some time now, knowing that Skyrim's coming.

I only play one game at a time. I play it too completion and then I move on.

So in summary, yes.

I don't play MMO's. They've never appealed to me, and a lot of the player's are immature, and I loathe monthly fees.

I don't think I'll be playing any games besides Skyrim for a few months.

I'm dropping wow for multiple reasons but Skyrim is a huge one. And TOR comes out December 20th, I'll most likely completely ignore it until Skyrim satiates me a couple years from now.


Also, when I get a craving for Skyrim's forests I walk around LOTRO for a while

Does it count that I stopped playing Ultima Online in 2002?

My WoW subscription runs out 17 Nov, I'll have stopped playing at least six days earlier however. :wink_smile:


I'm seriously considering not renewing it again, might switch over to "The Old Republic" if and when I decide to play an MMORPG again, it looks cool from the gameplay footage I've seen. Gonna wait several months after it's released though.

Heh. I've returned to WoW briefly to ease the wait, but I'll cancel again once Skyrim is out.

TOR had me excited for a while because I thought it was going to have a really interesting space combat section, which I consider integral for a Star Wars game. But then I heard the space combat stuff is "on rails", and so went all hope I had for the game. And after abandoning that hope, I realized I don't have much desire to play any MMO's at all anymore. :-/

Matter of fact, at this point, really any other game is paling in comparison when laid next to my anticipation for Skyrim. I've tried putting some hours into the new Deus Ex, messing with Minecraft, and even pounding around in Oblivion as a tide over. But nothing is even remotely interesting right now. I'll play Arkham City in a couple weeks cuz that'll be billy, but other than one weekend dedicated to that, what free time I do have between now and Skyrim will pretty much be a love affair between me and Netflix.

I've been off of EVE Online for a couple months now (Amarr Empire ftw) and I really mis it but my gaming laptop's graphics card died so have to wait until i get my new gaming rig. Even if it didn't die on me I would still take a break just to play Skyrim.

I cancelled my WoW account a month or so back. That game's gone to complete [censored] now. They're even going to start, essentially, selling gold through the Blizzard store now...

I've got my eyes on TOR though.

From someone who has played it and was not paied to say nice things about it, just renew wow for a bit. Its the same hotkey mmo and if you beleive the news then whatever "Project Titan' is will be totally new and change the face of MMOs forever.

I quit WoW around 4.2, the game is incredibly boring now. The only thing I did after patch 3.2 was collect mounts and do some PvP. :(
